Week ending Jan. 1: 16 notices published by Agriculture Department

There were 16 notices published by the Agriculture Department in week ending Jan. 1, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Caribou-Targhee National Forest; Idaho and Wyoming; Withdrawal of Notice of Intent To Prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Targhee Revised Forest Plan With Proposed Forest Plan Amendment, was submitted on December 29, 2021.

The Agriculture Department published 14 the week before, marking a 14.3 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.
