45 notices published in January by Agriculture Department

There were 45 notices published by the Agriculture Department in January, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Notice of Funding Opportunity for the Biofuel Producer Program for Fiscal Year 2021; Amendment, was submitted on January 28, 2022.

The Agriculture Department published 60 the month before, marking a 25 percent decrease for the current month.

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.
