"(b)(1) The United States shall be entitled to recover from any institution or agency to which loan insurance has been issued under this section the amount of any payment made pursuant to that insurance, unless the Secretary waives its right of recovery. Upon making any such payment, the United States shall be subrogated to all of the rights of the recipient of the payment with respect to which the payment was made. "(2) Any insurance issued under subsection (a) shall be incontestable in the hands of the institution or agency on whose behalf insurance is issued, and as to any lenders which make or contract to make a loan to such institution or agency in reliance thereon, except for fraud or misrepresentation on the part of such institution or agency or on the part of the lender who makes or contracts to make such loan. "(c) Insurance may be issued by the Secretary under subsection (a) only if he determines that the terms, conditions, maturity, security (if any), and schedule and amounts of repayments with respect to the loan are sufficient to protect the financial interests of the United States and are otherwise reasonable and in accord with regulations, including a determination that the rate of interest does not exceed a per centum per annum on the principal obligation outstanding as the Secretary determines to be reasonable, considering interest rates prevailing in the private market for similar loans and the risks assumed by the United States, The Secretary may charge a premium for such insurance in an amount determined by him to be necessary to cover administrative expenses and probable losses under subsections (a) and (b). Such insurance shall be subject to such further terms and conditions as the Secretary determines to be necessary. "PART D—GENERAL RECOVERY OF PAYMENTS

The period of twenty years after completion of such construction shall therefore be deemed to be the period of Federal interest in such facility for the purposes of this title.
