National Environmental Policy Act In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, Public Law 91190, this final rule has been reviewed in accordance with 7
CFR part 1970 Environmental Policies and Procedures. The Agency has determined that i this action meets the criteria established in 7 CFR 1970.53f;
ii no extraordinary circumstances exist; and iii the action is not connected to other actions with potentially significant impacts, is not considered a cumulative action and is not precluded by 40 CFR 1506.1.
Therefore, the Agency has determined that the action does not have a significant effect on the human environment, and therefore neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is required.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 UMRA, Public Law 1044, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, RUS generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with Federal mandates that may result in expenditures to State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year. When such a statement is needed for a rule, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires RUS to identify and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the least costly, most costeffective, or least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule.
This final rule contains no Federal mandates under the regulatory provisions of title II of the UMRA for State, local, and tribal governments or the private sector. Therefore, this final rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.

agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act APA or any other statute. This final rule; however, is not subject to the APA

553b3A nor any other statute.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism It has been determined, under E.O.
13132, Federalism, that the policies contained in this final rule do not have any substantial direct effect on states, on the relationship between the National Government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Nor does this final rule impose substantial direct compliance costs on state and local governments. Therefore, consultation with the states is not required.
E-Government Act Compliance The Agency is committed to complying with the E-Government Act of 2002, Public Law 107347, which requires Government agencies in general to provide the public the option of submitting information or transacting business electronically to the maximum extent possible and to promote the use of the internet and other information technologies to provide increased opportunities for citizen access to Government information and services, and for other purposes.
Information Collection and Recordkeeping Requirements The information collection and record-keeping requirements contained in this rule are approved by the Office of Management and Budget OMB
under OMB Control Numbers 0572
