Regulations Governing the Financing of Commercial Sales of Agricultural Commodities

AGENCY: Commodity Credit Corporation, USDA.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This rule revises the regulations applicable to the financing of the sale and exportation of agricultural commodities pursuant to title I of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended (Pub. L. 480). The rule would permit a waiver of the present requirement that only private entities with a business office or agent in the United States are eligible to enter into title I, Pub. L. 480 agreements when the General Sales Manager determines that there is adequate assurance of repayment to CCC. This change would allow additional foreign private entities to participate in title I, and thereby increase exports of U.S. agricultural commodities.
