Report To The Director

Office Of Management And Budget


Federal Credit Policy On Guaranteed Loans

Should Be Clarified And Enforced


Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
Circular No. A-70 was issued to help pro-
vide effective and economical Federal
credit assistance programs by prescribing,
for example, that certain fees be charged,
that private lenders-share financial risk on
guaranteed obligations, that excessive
interest rates be controlled, and that guar-
antees of tax-exempt obligations be avoided.
However, Federal agencies often do not
comply with these principles because the
circ ilar does not communicate clearly and
OMB has not enforced compliance. The
resulting costs and inequities are serious,
but OMB has postponed corrective action
for years.
GA4 is recommending that OMB reissue
the circular and enforce the principles
adopted. If such action is to be postponed
further, GAO recommends that interim
gui ance be provided in memorandum form.
Su h actions would be consistent with the
ad i nistration's other efforts to improve
management control of Federal credit.
