                  Facility Loan Program

          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 January 16, 2001. It was published in the Federal
          Register as a final rule on January 18, 2001. 66 Fed. Reg. 4607.

          The rule finalizes an interim rule implementing the CCC's Farm Storage Facility Loan
          Program. The interim rule was published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2000
          (65 Fed. Reg. 30345) and was the subject of our major rule report dated May 24, 2000
          (GAO/OGC-00-31). Based on the comments received on the interim rule, the CCC is
          making several changes and adding other provisions to the interim rule.

          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.
