Title: Environmental Policies and Procedures
Abstract: The Rural Development program is seeking to consolidate, simplify, and update all Agency environmental requirements into a common environmental regulation. This Rural Development regulation will replace 7 CFR 1794; the current utilities environmental regulation, 7 CFR 1940-G; the current housing/business environmental regulation, 7 CFR 1901-F; the current historic preservation regulation; and 7 CFR part 1940-J, the current intergovernmental review regulation. This consolidation effort will produce a single user-friendly tool to help the program constituents, rural communities, and Rural Development staff, as well as bring the environmental requirements of Agency actions in line with the environmental requirements of other Federal programs for similar actions. This rule consists of subparts A through O.
