regulation for administering the
Community Facilities program is 7 CFR
1942–A (OMB Number 0575–0015) that
outlines eligibility, project feasibility,
security, and monitoring requirements.
The Community Facilities fire and

firefighting and rescue equipment to
financing a 911 emergency system.
These facilities are designed to provide
fire protection and emergency rescue
services to rural communities.

and consultants. This information will
be used to determine applicant/
borrower eligibility, assess project
feasibility, and ensure borrowers
operate on a sound basis and use funds
for authorized purposes. Failure to

in improper determination of eligibility,
improper use of funds, and/or unsound
loans.
