When Agency security is sold, exchanged, or consumed in accordance with the agreement for the use of proceeds, the Agency will release its security interest to the extent of the value of the security disposed.

Security interests on wool and mohair may be released when the security is marketed by consignment, provided all of the following conditions are met:

The borrower assigns to the Agency the proceeds of any advances made, or to be made, on the wool or mohair by the broker, less shipping, handling, processing, and marketing costs;

The borrower assigns to the Agency the proceeds of the sale of the wool or mohair, less any remaining costs in shipping, handling, processing, and marketing, and less the amount of any advance (including any interest which may have accrued on the advance) made by the broker against the wool or mohair; and

The borrower and broker agree that the net proceeds of any advances on, or sale of, the wool or mohair will be paid by checks made payable jointly to the borrower and the Agency.

The Agency will release its lien on chattel security without compensation, upon borrower request provided:

The borrower has not received primary loan servicing or Disaster Set-Aside within the last 3 years;

The borrower will retain the security and use it as collateral for other credit, including partial graduation as specified in § 765.101;

The security margin on each FLP direct loan will be 150 percent or more after the release. The value of the retained and released security will normally be based on appraisals obtained as specified in § 761.7 of this chapter; however, well documented recent sales of similar properties can be used if the Agency determines a supportable decision can be made without current appraisals;

The release is approved by the FSA State Executive Director; and

Except for CL, the borrower is unable to fully graduate as specified in § 765.101.
