Completion of Interim Rules
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.
ACTION: Notification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Department of Agriculture is announcing the
completion of certain interim rules that published in the Federal
Register more than 3 years ago. USDA is taking this action because the
published interim rules have been fully implemented and no further
rulemaking publication is required.
DATES: The interim rules are completed as of September 10, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
To promote transparency in regulatory planning, the Administration,
beginning with the Spring 2017 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions, published for the first time an ``inactive'' list
of agency regulatory actions that were under review but not included in
the Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. Such
``inactive'' actions allow agencies to take additional time to review a
regulatory or deregulatory action and to preserve the regulatory
identification number (RIN) and title for possible future use. After
further review, and to clean out a backlog of older, obsolete RINs,
USDA is taking this action to reduce its regulatory backlog and focus
its resources on higher priority actions. The Department's actions are
part of an overall regulatory reform strategy to reduce regulatory
burden on the public and to ensure that future Unified Agendas of
Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions provided the public accurate
information about rulemakings the Department intends to undertake. USDA
reviewed its pending regulatory actions listed as ``inactive.'' This
review focused on interim rules that published in the Federal Register
more than 3 years ago, and for which no final rule has been issued. The
agency identified 20 such regulatory actions.
Although not required to do so by the Administrative Procedure Act
or by regulations of the Office of the Federal Register, the agency
believes the public interest is best served by announcing in the
Federal Register that it has fully implemented these 20 items.
Therefore, for the reasons set forth above, USDA announces that it has
fully completed the 20 rulemaking initiatives which were published in
the Federal Register on the dates indicated in the table below and that
no further rulemaking publication is required.
