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 4th day of May 2012.
Jane Oates,
Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training.
