The sponsor shall signify in writing its acceptance of rental assistance for the project and its agreement to comply with article XVII-A and these regulations, and to enter into a rental assistance contract upon completion of the project.
(d)Upon certification by FmHA of the completion, or substantial completion, of the project to the satisfaction of FmHA, the commissioner shall enter into a rental assistance contract with the sponsor.
