(3        United States
GAO       General Accounting Office
          Washington, D.C. 20548

          Comptroller General
          of the United States
          B-159292


          November 2, 1990

          To the President of the Senate and the               142632
          Speaker of the House of Representatives

          Section 408(b) (3) (I) of the Rural Electrification Act of
          1936, as amended on December 22, 1987, by the Omnibus
          Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-203),
          requires us to annually review the interest rate charged to
          borrowers, referred to as the cost of money rate, as
          determined by the Governor of the Rural Telephone Bank
          (RTB) for the preceding fiscal year. We are to report to
          the Congress on the accuracy of the interest rate
          determination within 15 days of receiving it.

          On October 19, 1990, we received RTB's rate determination,
          which established RTB's fiscal year 1990 cost of money rate
          at 5.00 percent, the minimum rate allowable by the Rural
          Electrification Act of 1936, as amended. We reviewed the
          rate determination and found it to be in accordance with
          the requirements of section 1411(c) of the Omnibus Budget
          Reconciliation Act of 1987 and 7 CFR Part 1610. We traced
          the dollar amounts and rates used in calculating the cost
          of money rate to RTB records and recomputed the
          calculation.

          Enclosed is a copy of RTB's interest rate notice along with
          the details of its calculation of the interest rate to be
          applied to loans issued during fiscal year 1990.

          We are sending copies of this report to the Director of the
          Office of Management and Budget, the Secretary of the
          Treasury, the Secretary of Agriculture, and the Board of
          Directors of the Rural Telephone Bank.
