Specifically, the Agency proposes to: Allow and define a maximum interest rate for interim construction financing that is different than the underlying rate; allow for the escrow or reserve of regularly scheduled principal, interest, taxes and insurance (PITI) payments; and remove the requirement for loan modification or re-amortization once construction is complete.

published on May 4, 2018, regarding a new national mandatory 
bioengineered food disclosure standard. Corrections are made to the 
notice of proposed rule making's (NPRM) Initial Regulatory Flexibility 
Analysis to clarify that the proposed rule, if finalized, is not 
expected to have a significant economic impact on a substantial number 
of small entities, but that comments are sought on the analysis and 
that USDA is not certifying that the proposed rule would have no 
significant adverse impact on a substantial number of small businesses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to recent amendments to the 
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.), 
as amended, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) published a 
proposed rule regarding establishment of a new national mandatory 
bioengineered food disclosure standard in the Federal Register on May 
4, 2018 (83 FR 19860). On that date, AMS also published a Regulatory 
Impact Analysis (RIA) describing potential economic impacts of the 
proposed rule, which included the Regulatory Flexibility Analysis. The 
RIA tentatively concludes that the proposed rule would not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
businesses. However, the Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 
included in the NPRM used inconsistent language in 83 FR 19881 and 
19884. This correction addresses that inconsistency. The summary of the 
RIA that accompanied 83 FR 19860 will also be revised. The revised RIA 
will be posted on www.regulations.gov under AMS-TM-17-0050.

the following corrections:
    1. On page 19881, in column 3, the final sentence of the 
Introduction paragraph in Section D--Initial Regulatory Flexibility 
Analysis is corrected to read as follows:

    We have tentatively concluded that the proposed rule, if 
finalized, will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities; however, we are seeking 
comment on this analysis and are not certifying there would be no 
significant adverse impact on a substantial number of small 
businesses.

    2. On page 19884, in column 1, the Summary paragraph in Section D--
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis is corrected to read as 
follows:

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 606(b)), we 
tentatively conclude that the proposed rules will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. The analysis presented in the accompanying Regulatory 
Impact Analysis suggests that the cost per entity is not large for 
firms in any size category. However, we are seeking comment on this 
analysis and are not certifying there would be no significant 
adverse impact on a substantial number of small businesses.
