vances are recommended. (See also § 390.4 (b) (2))

(2) Form FSA-FI 58, "Public Voucher for Direct Relief, Stricken Agricultural Area", will be prepared in an original and three copies for all grants approved or recommended for approval. The original and two copies will be inIcluded in the docket. One copy will be retained in the county FSA office to be held until the "paid copy" is received from the Treasury Disbursing office. The word "Flood" or "Windstorm" will be typed in column "4" of this voucher. Where both types of grants are made to a single applicant on the same voucher, the amount to be charged to each type should be shown in column "4" and the total advance for both types shown as a single item in column "6".

§ 390.6 Supervision and loan servicing-(a) Supervision. It is not contemplated that FW borrowers and grant recipients will be given the type of detailed supervision of farm and home practices and operations characteristic of the RR program. However, there may be situations where financial assistance would not be advisable unless supervision of farm and home operations is provided. The county FSA committee, in passing upon the eligibility of each applicant, will determine whether such supervision is necessary. When any FW borrower requests supervisory assistance of the type ordinarily given under the RR program, provision will be made for the extension of supervisory services within the limits of available personnel. Only in cases designated for "supervision" by county FSA committees and where the FSA supervisor and the FSA committee determine that extra precaution is necessary, may the loan or grant funds be placed in a supervised bank account to insure that such funds are used for the purposes authorized.

(b) Loan servicing. FW loans will be serviced under the procedures and with forms applicable to standard RR loans except as provided herein. FSA officials who are delegated similar authority with respect to RR loans are hereby authorized to do all acts necessary and incidental to the making, servicing, renewing and collecting of all FW loans, subject to monetary restrictions and other restrictions applicable to similar acts under the RR program. FSA officials who are similarly authorized to

act under the RR program are likewise authorized to accept, record, release and satisfy instruments of security for all FW loans subject to monetary restrictions and other restrictions imposed under the RR program. Specific exceptions to these general authorizations are as follows:

(1) Partial release of security may be granted under procedures applicable to standard RR loans but only for the following purposes:

(i) Repayments on FW loans.

(ii) Exchange (including sale and repurchase) of security better suited to the future needs of the borrower.

(iii) For the protection and maintenance of remaining security.

(iv) For payment of emergency expenses essential to the welfare of the family.

(v) (The following authority may be exercised only with respect to crops, livestock products and livestock, produced for sale.) For general farm and home expenditures after annual maturities on the FW loans have been paid; or, prior to such payment where there is assurance that annual maturities will be paid.

(2) The renewal of FW loans will be accomplished on the same forms and handled under the same general procedures applicable to standard RR loans except that real estate restoration loans or production restoration loans will not be combined with any other type of loan. Separate renewal notes will be required for each of these loan types, although such a renewal may include several loan advances of the same type.

§ 390.7 Reports. Borrowers obtaining loans from the 1943 appropriation, formerly identified as "FR borrowers" will henceforth be identified as "FW borrowers". Likewise loans formerly identified as "FR" loans will henceforth be identified as "FW" loans. FSA borrowers who suffer flood or windstorm damage in 1944 are eligible for FW loans within the limitations set forth in this part but will retain their present classification of FSA borrowers.

(a) Finance area offices will prepare as of the last day of each month reports by States showing:

(1) The number of FW loans and amount (by loan types segregated as to "Flood restoration loans" and "windstorm restoration loans" separately) of

FW loan funds obligated, the total amount advanced such borrowers, the amount of principal and interest repaid and the balance of principal and interest unpaid.

(2) The number of FW grants and amount of FW grant funds obligated (segregated as to "flood grants", and "windstorm grants") and the total amount advanced such recipients.

(b) Regional directors will prepare on the 10th of each month, a report by States based on applications processed through the finance area offices during

the preceding month, showing the number of FW applications involving funds for each of the purposes indicated in § 390.3 (b) and (c) and the total amount of funds for each of the purposes indicated in these paragraphs.

(c) FSA supervisors in designated counties will provide on Form FSA-322: (1) The number of FW applications received during the month, and the number of FW applications on hand at the end of the month. (Monthly)

(2) The number of families receiving FW assistance. (Quarterly)
