SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a final
rule that was published in the Federal
Register on June 3, 2020 (85 FR 34085–
34087, Docket No. USDA–2020–0006),
and effective on July 6, 2020, we
amended the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s (USDA’s) administrative
regulations by adding procedural
regulations for the review and issuance
of agency guidance documents as
mandated by Executive Order (E.O.)
13891. These regulations were added to
the USDA regulations in title 7, part 1,
as a new subpart Q, Review and
Issuance of Agency Guidance
Documents (§§ 1.900 through 1.911).

VerDate Sep<11>2014
In the final rule, § 1.904(c) referred to
the proposing agency or USDA’s Office
of Budget and Program Analysis as
making significance determinations for
guidance documents, when in actuality,
E.O. 13891 provides that it is the Office
of Management and Budget that makes
those determinations (a fact reflected in
§ 1.905). Accordingly, we are amending
§ 1.904(c) to bring it into alignment with
the executive order and the rest of the
regulations.
In addition, § 1.907 provided an
incorrect email address for contacting
USDA regarding guidance documents.
We are correcting that error as well.
