Business Loan Program Temporary Changes; Paycheck Protection Program — Eligibility of Certain Telephone Cooperatives
Summary
This Federal Register page, Vol. 85, No. 113, Thursday, June 11, 2020, includes a Small Business Administration interim final rule, Business Loan Program Temporary Changes; Paycheck Protection Program - Eligibility of Certain Telephone Cooperatives. The summary says it supplements previously published interim final rules by providing guidance on additional eligibility requirements for certain telephone cooperatives and requests public comment. It gives an effective date of June 8, 2020 and says the rule applies to applications submitted under the Paycheck Protection Program through June 30, 2020, or until funds made available for this purpose are exhausted. The same page also carries an Agricultural Marketing Service rule on salable quantities and allotment percentages for spearmint oil produced in the Far West.
