funds. These regulations require a State, not-profit entity, or 
eligible lender trustee to provide to the Secretary a certification on 
the State or non-profit entity's letterhead, signed by the State or 
non-profit's Chief Executive Officer, which states the basis upon which 
the entity meets the regulations. The submission must include the name 
and lender identification number(s) for which the eligible designation 
is being certified. Once an entity is approved it must provide an 
annual recertification notice identifying the name and lender 
identification number(s) for which designation is being requested.
