Strategic Economic and Community Development

AGENCY: Rural Business-Cooperative Service, Rural Housing Service, 
Rural Utilities Service, Farm Service Agency, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Interim rule; delay of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On May 20, 2015, USDA published an interim rule establishing a 
priority for projects that support the implementation of strategic 
economic and community development plans across multi-jurisdictional 
areas. This priority applies to several specific programs with the 
Rural Business-Cooperative Service, the Rural Housing Service, and the 
Rural Utilities Service. The effective date was listed as June 19, 2015 
and is being delayed to July 17, 2015.

DATES: Effective date: The effective date of the interim rule published 
May 20, 2015 (80 FR 28807) is delayed from June 19, 2015, to July 17, 
2015.

1169. Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The interim rule published in the May 20, 
2015, Federal Register implements Section 6025 of the Agricultural Act 
of 2014. The Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) requires 
that Congress be afforded at least 60 days to review rules before they 
become effective. The May 20, 2015 interim rule only provided a 30 day 
period before the rule would become effective. Therefore, to comply 
with the Congressional Review Act, the effective date for the interim 
rule is being extended an additional 30 days to July 17, 2015.
