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

to another by the loan applicant's business operation; or, (b) An

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 6th day of April, 2012.
Jane Oates,
Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training.
