Agriculture Department publishes notice on Oct. 3

The US Agriculture Department published a two page notice on Oct. 3, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The notice is focused on 60-Day Notice of Proposed Information Collection: American Rescue Plan Act, 2021 (ARPA)-7 CFR Part 3550, Direct Single Family Housing Sections 502 and 504 Loan Programs; OMB Control No.: 0575-NEW.

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.
