SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 188 of the Consolidated Farm and 
Rural Development Act of 1972, as established under 29 CFR Part 75, 
authorizes the United States Department of Agriculture to make or 
guarantee loans or grants to finance industrial and business activities 
in rural areas. The Secretary of Labor must review the application for 
financial assistance for the purpose of certifying to the Secretary of 
Agriculture that the assistance is not calculated, or likely, to result 
in: (a) A transfer of any employment or business activity from one area 
to another by the loan applicant's business operation; or (b) An 
increase in the production of goods, materials, services, or facilities 
in an area where there is not sufficient demand to employ the efficient 
capacity of existing competitive enterprises unless the financial 
assistance will not have an adverse impact on existing competitive 
enterprises in the area. The Employment and Training Administration 
within the Department of Labor is responsible for the review and 
certification process. Comments should address the two bases for 
certification and, if possible, provide data to assist in the analysis 
of these issues.

    Signed: at Washington, DC this 5th of May, 2008.
Gay M. Gilbert,
Administrator, Office of Workforce Investment, Employment and Training 
Administration.
