1951.867—Conflict of interest.
The intermediary will, for each proposed loan to an ultimate recipient, inform FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 in writing and furnish such additional evidence as FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 requests as to whether and the extent to which the intermediary or its principal officers (including immediate family) hold any legal or financial interest or influence in the ultimate recipient or the ultimate recipient or any of its principal officers (including immediate family) holds any legal or financial interest or influence in the intermediary. FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 shall determine whether such ownership, influence or financial interest is sufficient to create potential conflict of interest. In the event FmHA or its successor agency under Public Law 103-354 determines there is a conflict of interest, the intermediary's assistance to the ultimate recipient will not be approved until such conflict is eliminated.
