interest credit reduced payment, the NOTE RATE rent is the level required to cover all uses of cash and the repayment of the
Rural Development loan at the unsubsidized or promissory note rate. Consequently, the difference in the total revenue
generated at the BASIC rent and the NOTE RATE rent is the project’s total potential Rural Development interest
credit available, or overage, that could be charged.

(4) For each of the columns in PART IV, enter the required information for each unit size.
A. CURRENT APPROVED RENTS/UTILITY ALLOWANCE: The current project rental rates, approved by the Agency according to
7 CFR part 3560.205.
UNIT DESCRIPTION:

RENTAL RATES:

follows:
BASIC RENT—Rural Development approved rent level at the interest credit reduced rate,
NOTE RATE RENT—Rural Development approved rent level at the note rate,
HUD RENT—HUD approved rent.
7. BASIC. Multiply the NUMBER OF UNITS times the BASIC RENT, and multiply the result by 12. [(NUMBER x BASIC) x 12]

RATE) x 12]
11. CURRENT RENT TOTALS - BASIC. Add all entries in the INCOME-BASIC column.
12. CURRENT RENT TOTALS - NOTE RATE. Add all entries in the INCOME-NOTE RATE column.

(3) When there is no proposed change to current rents, enter CURRENT RENT TOTALS on both CURRENT
BUDGET and PROPOSED BUDGET column.
b. For budgets with less than annual (monthly, quarterly) reporting periods:
1. Prepare Part V of this form when the proposed budget or the annual report of actual expenditures include capital items funded
from the Reserve Account or the General Operating Account (GOA).
2. Entries included in Part V are considered major capital expenditures and should not be duplicated expenses entered on Part II.
Part II should only be used for minor routine repair and/or replacement. This distinction is necessary to assume comparability
of costs during the budget approval process.
3. Recording the proposed capital use on Part V does not constitute a reserve account withdrawal request; however, it does
constitute Agency pre-approval. Follow the request authorization process of Form RD 3560-12.
4. With Agency approval, capital expenditures may be paid from the GOA when funds are available, as long as the financial
integrity of the project is not affected. In most cases, the reserve account should be used as the primary source for capital
expense.
5. This form provides several general descriptions of typical items. You should attempt to categorize your capital expenses on the
most appropriate line.
6. This form is separated into seven columns: Proposed Number of Units/Items, Proposed from Reserve, Actual from Reserve,
Proposed from Operating, Actual from Operating, Actual Total Cost, and Total Actual Units/Items.
Proposed Number of Units/Items: Use when entering quantity being replaced or repaired; however, there are some
circumstances when a unit/item figure will not be entered, such as roofing and siding.
