ACTION: Notice of municipal interest rates on advances from insured electric loans for the fourth quarter of 1995. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Rural Utilities Service hereby announces the interest rates for advances on municipal rate loans with interest rate terms beginning during the fourth calendar quarter of 1995. DATES: These interest rates are effective for interest rate terms that commence during the period beginning October 1, 1995, and ending December 31, 1995. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sue Arnold, Financial Analyst, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service, room 2230-s, 14th Street & Independence Avenue, SW. AgBox 1522, Washington, DC 20250- 1500. Telephone: 202-720-0736. FAX: 202-720-4120. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) hereby announces the interest rates on advances made during the fourth calendar quarter of 1995 for municipal rate electric loans. Pursuant to regulations originally published by the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) at 7 CFR 1714.5, the interest rates on advances from municipal rate loans are based on indexes published in the ``Bond Buyer'' for the four weeks prior to the first Friday of the last month before the beginning of the quarter. The Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (Pub. L. 103-354, 101 Stat. 3178), signed by President Clinton on October 13, 1994, provides for the establishment of RUS as successor to REA with respect to various programs, including the electric loan program established by the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.). On October 20, 1994, the Secretary of Agriculture issued Secretary's Memorandum 1010-1, establishing RUS and abolishing REA. Therefore, RUS is publishing this notice implementing a rule originally published by REA. In accordance with 7 CFR 1714.5, the interest rates are established as shown in the following table for all interest rate terms that begin at any time during the fourth calendar quarter of 1995. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RUS rate Interest rate term ends in(year) (0.000 percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2016 or later................................................ 6.000 2015......................................................... 6.000 2014......................................................... 6.000 2013......................................................... 5.875 2012......................................................... 5.875 2011......................................................... 5.750 2010......................................................... 5.625 2009......................................................... 5.625 2008......................................................... 5.500 2007......................................................... 5.375 2006......................................................... 5.250 2005......................................................... 5.000 2004......................................................... 5.000 2003......................................................... 4.875 2002......................................................... 4.750 2001......................................................... 4.625 2000......................................................... 4.500 1999......................................................... 4.375 1998......................................................... 4.250 1997......................................................... 4.000 1996......................................................... 3.875 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dated: September 6, 1995.
