Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, May 1967. It disclosed the

following:
Seven Federal agencies offer credit programs that are

available to commercial outdoor recreation enterprises. These

are the Small Business Administration (SBA), the Economic Development
Administration (EDA) , the Farmers' Home Administration (FHA), the
Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Rural Electrification Administration
(REA), Veterans Administration (VA), and Farm Credit Administration
(FCA). Only the first three agencies - SBA, EDA, FHA, were found to
significantly affect commercial outdoor recreation.

5. Consideration of Associated Benefits

Another important factor in the definition of agency

responsibility is the impact of the project on the political, social,

and economic aspects of the community.

Several Federal agencies are empowered through grants,

loans, and other avenues to assist communities directly in providing

recreation opportunities on a smaller scale.

The location of a reservoir is dependent upon the source

of water and the water development plan. However, it might be

possible that the site could provide a recreation base to aid a

recreation deficient community. All Federal and State agencies

must consider environmental aspects on water development. However,

if this is not possible, the recreation plan should recognize the

needs of a community and be designed as far as possible to fulfill
a portion of those needs.
