Background The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) highly respects and follows the policies and laws regarding worker labor protections particularly as they pertain to the acquisition process. To support these objectives, this proposed rule adds a subpart and clause entitled Labor Law Violations to the Agriculture Acquisition Regulation (AGAR). The AGAR may be accessed at: https:// www.dm.usda.gov/procurement/policy/ agar.html. This clause is to be included in all USDA contracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold, including all contract options. B. Regulatory Flexibility Act USDA certifies that this proposed rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. There is no additional submission required as a result of this action. The rule will not have a significant impact on the small business community or on a substantial number of small businesses. The Department invites comment on its estimates for the potential impact of this rulemaking on small businesses. C. Paperwork Reduction Act The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because the proposed rule does not impose any recordkeeping or information collection requirements that require approval by the Office of Management and Budget. D.
