Comment on FR Doc # E8-23444

Dear Mr. Christopherson, re: 1006-AA53: Please consider these two comments regarding the RWSA Title II Rule: 1) In 403.43l, ‘loan origination fee’, could the 1% loan origination fee be flexible with Treasury’s "then current guidance" on prevailing market conditions, not to exceed the 1% level? (If over time a 1% fee no longer reflects prevailing conditions, flexibility is meritorious.) 2) 403.47 (k), contains language concerning ‘applicable Federal and United States Treasury policies’. Is it possible for the rule to state that loans under Title II may conform with “then current Treasury policies”? (Such language provides for the possibility of creative discussions with Treasury that both protect the financial interests of the United States and maximize value for loan participants.) Thank you very kindly for your consideration of these points, Mark Shively Chair, Douglas County Water Resource Authority (Member, Douglas County RWSA Work Group)
