     The Honorable Everett Rank
     Executive Vice President
     Commodity Credit Corporation                            117287
     Department of Agriculture.

     Dear Mr. Rank:

          Subject: -Collection and Accounting for Accrued
                    Interest on Commodity Credit Corporation
                    Producer LoansI-JAFMD-82-40)

         As you are aware, we concluded our review of the CorLmodity
    Credit Corporation's (CCC) financial statements for fiscal year
    1980 and issued our report (CED-91-137, August 13, 1981). As a
    result of information gathered during the course of our review,
    we believe CCC's practice of applying repayments of tobacco as-
    sociations' loans first to principal and then to accrued interest
    is inconsistent both with CCC's procedures for repaying its
    Treasury borrowings and with normal banking practices.'

         Under the CCC accounting system, accrued interest on tobacco
    loans is computed and maintained in memorandum records. Cash
    received from loan repayments is applied first to loan Frinci~al,
    then, after the principal is liquidated, to interest receivable.
    The memorandum record of accrued interest is reduced by the same
    amount. Cash received beyond liquidation of accrued interest is
    returned to the tobacco associations. However, if cash collections
    are insufficient, the memorandum account is closed and the receiv-
    able waived.

         CCC Docket HP 40a, as approved by the Secretary of Agriculture
    on January 28,.1966, provided that sales proceeds from 1966 and
    prior years' loans outstanding be applied first to loan principal
    and then to accrued interest. This change from the prior rule,
    which applied up to 2-1/2 cents of every dollar to interest and
    97-1/2 cents to principal, was recommended as a means of elimi-
    nating unproductive computations and reducing recordkeeping. The
    ch-ange also resulted in recording interest income on tobacco
