DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Office of the Secretary

7 CFR Part 7

RIN 0560-AG90


Selection and Functions of Farm Service Agency State and County 
Committees

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects a proposed rule published November 28, 
2006, proposing to amend the regulations governing the selection and 
functions of Farm Service Agency (FSA) State and county committees in 
accordance with the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, as 
amended. A correction is needed because the proposed rule incorrectly 
stated the duties of the State committees.

DATES: Effective Date: January 12, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Witzig, Regulatory Review Group, 
Economic and Policy Analysis Staff, Farm Service Agency (FSA), United 
States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Stop 0572, 1400 Independence 
Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20250-0572. Telephone: (202) 205-5851; e-
mail: [email protected]. Persons with disabilities who require 
alternative means for communication (Braille, large print, audio tape, 
etc.) should contact the USDA Target Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice 
and TDD).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule corrects the proposed rule 
published in the Federal Register on November 28, 2006 (71 FR 68755) 
proposing to amend the regulations governing the selection and 
functions of FSA State and county committees. In FR Doc. E6-20052, 
section 7.22 stated that the State committees ``shall be generally 
responsible for carrying out in the State all farm programs and farm 
loan programs or any other functions assigned by the Secretary or a 
designee of the Secretary.'' In fact, the State committees currently 
are not, and are not proposed to be, responsible for carrying out farm 
loan programs. This document corrects the proposed rule to remove the 
reference to farm loan programs.
    In proposed rule FR Doc. E6-20052 published on November 28, 2006 
(71 FR 68755) make the following correction. On page 68761, in the 
first column, revise Sec.  7.22 to read as follows:


Sec.  7.22  State committee duties.

    The State committee, subject to the general direction and 
supervision of the Deputy Administrator, shall be generally responsible 
for carrying out in the State all farm programs or any other functions 
assigned by the Secretary or a designee of the Secretary.

    Signed in Washington, DC, on January 4, 2007.
Mike Johanns,
Secretary of Agriculture.
