What did Agriculture Department publish on May 30?

The US Agriculture Department published a three page rule on May 30, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The rule is focused on Asian Longhorned Beetle; Quarantined Areas in Massachusetts, Ohio, and New York.

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.
