Although W-19 dealt generally with renewals and revisions made during September and October, questions have been received regard m g renewals or revisions made on or after November
1, of credits which were originally extended before September 1.
The controlling principle in such cases is that credit
originally extended, before September 1 may be renewed or revised
once at any time on or after September 1 without the statement
of necessity referred to in section 8(a) and on any terms which
the Registrant would have granted in good faith in the absence
of the regulation. This is the case whether such first renewal
or revision of a pre-6'spteiaber credit occurs before November 1
(as discussed in W-19) or after November 1. Inon a pre-5aptember
credit has been once renewed or revised on or after September 1,
whether such renewal or revision occurs before or after November
1, any subsequent renewal or revision is subject to the same requirements which would apply if the credit being renewed or revised had originally been extended on or after September 1. As
indicated in W-19, the consolidation of a pre-September credit
with a new credit has the same effect, for the purposes of this
question, as a renewal or revision of the pre-Septernber credit.
