          Subject: Department of Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation: Farm Storage
                  Facility Loan Pro gram

          Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a
          major rule promulgated by the Department of Agriculture, Commodity Credit
          Corporation (CCC), entitled Farm Storage Facility Loan Program (RIN: 0560-
          AGOO). We received the rule on May 10, 2000. It was published in the Federal
          Register as an interim rule on May 11, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 30345.

          The interim rule implements the Commodity Credit Corporation's Farm Storage
          Facility Loan program utilizing authority in the CCC Charter Act. The program will
          provide financing for producers to build or upgrade farm storage and handling
          facilities.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the CCC's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that the CCC complied with the applicable requirements.
