FmHA proposes to simplify and
i i i
ipeett up loan appeal process
. . and community development. quest
The IIS. Department of
Agriculture is proposing to
simplify and speed up the
appeal process for loans
turned down by Farmers
Home Administration.
"It would mean better,
faster service for borrowers
and would cut administrative
costs." said FmHA Adminis
trator Charles W. Shuman.
"and we believe that if an
applicant feels our decision
has been in error, we owe the
person a speedy review."
FmHA is a credit agency of
the I'SDA and makes loans to
farmers and other rural
residents for farming, housing
and community development.
People have until Jan. 4.
1982. to submit comments on
the proposed changes.
Shuman said the proposal
would reduce the number of
steps involved in an appeal to
no more than two in the field
and one in the agency's
national office in Washington.
This, he said, would cut
administrative costs and the
time it takes to process
appeals.
Some of the proposed
changes are:
-Pre hearing meetings may
be waived.
-Files must be made avail
able for inspection upon re
quest by the appellant before
being mailed to the hearing
officer.
-Tape recordings of hear
ings are optional rather than
mandatory.
-Further appeals can be
made within 30 days instead of
20. to give the appellant
adequate time.
Details are available in the
Nov. 5 issue of the Federal
Register. Comments should
be sent to : Directives
Management Branch. Rm

ministration. U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Wash
