Support NEPA exemptions for USDA, SBA loans

 ICBA is calling on community bankers to voice support for a proposal to exempt USDA and SBA guaranteed loans from proposed environmental impact statement requirements under the National Environmental Protection Act. ICBA's custom letter to regulators on its Be Heard grassroots action center says all guaranteed loan programs should be exempt from NEPA requirements because they are financed by the private sector. Comments are due Tuesday, March 10. Submit comments today.
