NOTICES

PENNSYLVANIA INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

Maximum Loan Amounts and Participation and Interest Rates

[26 Pa.B. 4958]

   The Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) gives notice of the adoption of maximum PIDA loan amounts and PIDA participation and interest rates for loans approved by the PIDA Board of Directors. The maximum PIDA loan amounts and rates were adopted by the PIDA Board of Directors at its meeting held July 3, 1996, are effective as of that date, except as provided below, and will remain in effect until changed by a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The rates follow as Annex A.

   Exceptions: (1) Projects located in any county or municipality in which the interest rate has increased or the participation rate has decreased will not be subject to the new rates until October 2, 1996.

   (2)  If the county's 5-year unemployment rate (average of the highest 5 of the last 10 years) is three percentage points or more than the 1995 unemployment rate, the 5-year unemployment rate will be used to determine the PIDA interest rate. This exception affects only the counties of Beaver, Fulton and Mercer resulting in a 3.75% interest rate.

   The PIDA Board retains the right to waive or modify the rates, to the extent that such are not mandated by law, on a case by case basis for good cause shown.

   Further information can be obtained from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority, Room 481, Forum Building, Harrisburg, PA 17120, (717) 787-6245.
