SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Secretary of Agriculture announced that the agency previously 
referred to as the Consolidated Farm Service Agency (CFSA) is to be 
named the Farm Service Agency (FSA). On November 8, 1995, USDA 
published in the Federal Register (60 FR 56392) a final rule that 
contained redelegations of authority for the Department of Agriculture 
and changed the name of CFSA to FSA. This rule includes amendments to 7 
CFR chapter XVIII that are necessary to bring agency regulations into 
alignment with the departmental reorganization.
    Accordingly, 7 CFR Chapter XVIII is amended as follows:

    1. The heading of 7 CFR chapter XVIII is revised to read as 
follows:

CHAPTER XVIII--RURAL HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICE, RURAL 
BUSINESS AND COOPERATIVE DEVELOPMENT SERVICE, RURAL UTILITIES SERVICE, 
AND FARM SERVICE AGENCY, DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

    2. In 7 CFR chapter XVIII, all references to ``Consolidated Farm 
Service Agency'' are revised to read ``Farm Service Agency'', and all 
references to ``CFSA'' are revised to read ``FSA''.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. on December 26, 1995.
Eugene Moos,
Under Secretary for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services.
