Title: Environmental Compliance and Related Concerns | |
Abstract:
This rule will provide the Farm Service Agency (FSA) with an environmental compliance regulation that updates, improves, and clarifies its requirements to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act; the National Historic Preservation Act; and numerous other environmental and cultural resource laws, regulations, and Executive Orders. It will also make the regulation consistent for both FSA's Farm Loan Programs and Farm Programs. Also, it will remove outdated regulations used by FSA from chapter XVIII of the Code of Federal Regulations, formerly used by the predecessor to FSA, the Farmers Home Administration. The changes will promote predictability and reduce uncertainty for environmental compliance related to actions for FSA programs. The changes will coordinate, simplify, and harmonize the environmental compliance rules. |
