Need for Correction
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
As found in the Code of Federal
Regulations, the title to 7 CFR 1940.588
contains reference to two programs (i.e.,
RBEG and RBOG) that no longer exist as
stand-alone programs and does not
reference their replacement program
(i.e., the RBDG program). This technical
change is necessary to claify how the
Agency allocates funds for the RBDG
program and to remove reference to
programs that no longer exist.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
Background
The Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014
Farm Bill) directed the Agency to
combine the Rural Business Enterprise
Grant (RBEG) program and the Rural
Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG)
program into a single new program
entitled the Rural Business
Development Grant (RBDG) program.
The Agency issued an interim rule with
request for comment on March 25, 2015
(80 FR 15665) establishing the RBDG
program and removing the applicable
provisions associated with the RBEG
and RBOG programs. In the interim rule,
the Agency inadvertently did not update
the title to 7 CFR 1940.588 to reflect the
replacement of the RBEG and RBOG
programs with the new RBDG program.
To correct this oversight, the Agency is
revising the title to 7 CFR 1940.588.
This correction has no substantive effect
on how State allocations are made for
the RBDG program.
