PENNSYLVANIA INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY

Interest Rates and Participation Rates

[35 Pa.B. 6395]

   The Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) gives notice of the change in interest rates and participation rates for loans approved by the PIDA Board of Directors (Board). Loan applications submitted after December 1, 2005, and until further notice will be subject to the interest rate and participation rate schedule that follows in the respective counties as determined by the most recent applicable unemployment statistics and will remain in effect until changed by a notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   The PIDA Board retains the right to waive or modify the interest rates on a case by case basis for good cause shown.

   Note:  Loan applications are subject to the schedule of interest rates in effect at the time the application is received by the Department of Community and Economic Development. A loan application that is deferred shall be subject to the schedule of interest rates in effect on the date of the Board meeting at which the application is considered, regardless of when the application was originally submitted.

   Further information can be obtained from the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority, Commonwealth Keystone Building, 400 North Street, 4th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17120, (717) 787-6245.
