Sets forth deadlines for the processing of transfer applications by such Office as well as by state and local offices.
Instructs the Secretary of Agriculture to report to certain congressional committees on:
(1) actions taken to coordinate with other federal agencies, including the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and, in particular, with the program for rental assistance under section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, the multifamily mortgage insurance programs under title II of the National Housing Act, and the programs for low-income housing tax credits and for tax-exempt bonds under the Internal Revenue Code;
(2) resulting improvements within the Rural Housing Service in expediting the transfer of ownership of projects with loans made or insured under section 515 of the Housing Act of 1949; and
