{"abstract":"The Rural Business-Cooperative Service (Agency), an agency of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), is making an initial announcement to invite applications for loans and grants under the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program (RMAP) for fiscal year (FY) 2022, subject to the availability of funding. This notice is being issued in order to allow applicants sufficient time to leverage financing, prepare and submit their applications, and give the Agency time to process applications within FY22. Successful applications will be selected by the Agency for funding and subsequently awarded to the extent that funding may ultimately be made available through appropriations. RMAP provides the following types of support: loan only, combination loan and technical assistance grant, and subsequent technical assistance grants to Microenterprise Development Organizations (MDO). An announcement will be made on the Agency website: https://www.rd.usda.gov/ regarding any amount received in the FY22 appropriations. All applicants are responsible for any expenses incurred in developing their applications or any costs incurred prior to the obligation date.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Rural Business-Cooperative Service","name":"Rural Business-Cooperative Service","id":456,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/rural-business-cooperative-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/456","parent_id":12,"slug":"rural-business-cooperative-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2021/07/30/2021-16246.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"86 FR 41004","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"The deadlines for completed applications to be received in the USDA Rural Development State Office for quarterly funding competitions are no later than 4:30 p.m. (local time) on: First Quarter, September 30, 2021; Second Quarter, December 31, 2021; Third Quarter, March 31, 2022; and Fourth Quarter, June 30, 2022.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket #: RBS-21-BUSINESS-0021"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2021-16246","effective_on":null,"end_page":41007,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2021/07/30/2021-16246.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2021/07/30/2021-16246/notice-of-solicitation-of-applications-for-inviting-applications-for-the-rural-microentrepreneur","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2021-16246?publication_date=2021-07-30","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2021-07-30/2021-16246/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":265,"last_updated":"2026-08-24 00:15:06 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-07-30/pdf/2021-16246.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2021-16246.pdf?1627562734","publication_date":"2021-07-30","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2021/07/30/2021-16246.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Request for Applications: Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program for Fiscal Year 2022","document_id":"RBS-21-BUSINESS-0021-0002"},{"title":"Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program","document_id":"RBS-21-BUSINESS-0021-0001"}],"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"RBS","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=RBS-21-BUSINESS-0021","supporting_documents_count":2,"docket_id":"RBS-21-BUSINESS-0021","document_id":"RBS-21-BUSINESS-0021-0002","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Notice of Solicitation of Applications for Inviting Applications for the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program for Fiscal Year 2022","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-02-08T13:30:10Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":41004,"subtype":null,"title":"Notice of Solicitation of Applications for Inviting Applications for the Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program for Fiscal Year 2022","toc_doc":"Rural Microentrepreneur Assistance Program for Fiscal Year 2022","toc_subject":"Request for Applications:\n","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":86}
