23 notices published in week ending July 25 by Agriculture Department

There were 23 notices published by the Agriculture Department in week ending July 25, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Comment Request-Summer Food Service Program, was submitted on July 23, 2021.

The Agriculture Department published 12 the week before, marking a 91.7 percent increase.

The Department is primarily focused on food nutrition, with assistance programs making up 80 percent of its budget. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department implements too many regulations and restrictions and impedes the economy.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
