13 notices published in week ending April 30 by Agriculture Department

There were 13 notices published by the Agriculture Department in week ending April 30, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Notice of Request for Revision to and Extension of Approval of an Information Collection; Restricted, Prohibited, and Controlled Importation of Animal and Poultry Products and Byproducts Into the United States, was submitted on April 29, 2022.

The Agriculture Department published 11 the week before, marking an 18.2 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.
