Agriculture Department publishes rule on Jan. 21

The US Agriculture Department published a seven page rule on Jan. 21, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The rule is focused on Humane Treatment of Dogs and Cats; Wire Flooring.

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.
