§ 1951.51 - General.

This subpart prescribes the policies and procedures of the Farmers Home Administration or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 (FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354) for collection of loan payments and depositing payments through the Concentration Banking System (CBS). Under CBA, FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 field offices select a local financial institution to maintain a Treasury Limited Account (TLA) for depositing FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 loan collections. Deposits to these accounts are withdrawn daily by the concentrator bank for transfer to the Treasury. Under these procedures, the local FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 office will deposit the daily office collections in a participating local financial institution and report the amount deposited to a data service facility that is under contract to the concentrator bank. The data service facility will inform the concentrator bank of the amount available in each local financial institution and the concentrator bank will use this information to transfer the funds to the concentrator bank and then to the Treasury.
