Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 161 / Tuesday, August 24, 2021 / Proposed Rules
1 Policies that have tribal implication, including regulation, legislative comments, or proposed legislation; and 2 other policy statements or actions that have substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.
AMS has assessed the impact of this proposed rule on Indian tribes and determined that this rule would not have tribal implications that require consultation under Executive Order 13175. AMS hosts a quarterly teleconference with tribal leaders where matters of mutual interest regarding the marketing of agricultural products are discussed. Information about the proposed changes to the regulations will be shared during an upcoming quarterly call, and tribal leaders will be informed about the proposed revisions to the regulation and the opportunity to submit comments. AMS will work with the USDA Office of Tribal Relations to ensure meaningful consultation is provided as needed with regards to the NOP regulations.
E. General Notice of Public Rulemaking This proposed rule reflects recommendations submitted by the NOSB to the Secretary to add three substances to the National List. A 60day period for interested persons to comment on this rule is provided.
