Section 18.76.080. Repayment; finance charges.

	(a)   Except as provided in 18 AAC 76.035 for a loan subsidy, the amortization schedule for financial assistance from the Alaska clean water fund will be negotiated between the borrower and the department. The department will not negotiate an amortization schedule that exceeds 20 years. The department will apply amortization repayments first toward any penalties owed, second toward the fees owed, third toward the interest, and fourth toward the principal.

		(1) for a contract term of five to 20 years, accrual of finance charges begins one year after the date of the first payment to the borrower; the department will assess a finance charge at a rate of one and one-half percent of the total amount of financial assistance disbursed, or 18.75 percent of the current bond rate as defined by the Municipal Bond Index, whichever is higher;  
		(2) for a contract term of less than five years, accrual of finance charges begins one year after the date of the first payment to the borrower; the department will assess a finance charge of one percent of the total amount of financial assistance disbursed, or 12 1/2 percent of the current bond rate as defined by the Municipal Bond Index, whichever is higher;  
		(3) for financial assistance that is repaid within one year after the first payment to the borrower, the department will assess a finance charge equal to one-half of one percent of the total amount of financial assistance disbursed.  
	(c)  Repealed 8/2/97.  
	(d)  Repealed 8/2/97.
