USDA Moves Rural Loans Out of Federal Register

## Summary

The USDA’s Rural Business-Cooperative Service is now accepting loan applications for the Intermediary Relending Program in Fiscal Year 2026. Starting next year, all funding announcements will be posted only on their website, not in the Federal Register, so keep an eye online for updates. This program helps local groups get loans to support small businesses and community projects in rural areas.

## Abstract

The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBCS or the Agency), a Rural Development (RD) agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to announce acceptance of loan applications under the Intermediary Relending Program (IRP). In future years, this funding opportunity will only be announced on the Agency website without a Federal Register notice. Therefore, in future years, neither the funding opportunity nor reference to the funding opportunity will appear in the Federal Register. Please make note of this change in location of the funding announcement in your records.
