SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 24, 2023, RBCS issued a final
rule which published in the Federal
Register [88 FR 82225] entitled
‘‘Guaranteed Loanmaking and Servicing
Regulations.’’ This final rule updates the
B&I CARES Act Program Loans, as
implemented in 7 CFR part 4279—
Guaranteed Loan Making and 7 CFR
part 4287—Servicing and as published
in the Federal Register on May 22,
2020, as an interim rule. The final rule
that published on November 24, 2023
incorrectly stated that the effective date
was November 24, 2023. Since this final
rule has been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget and it is
determined to be ‘‘Significant’’ under
Section 3(f)(1) of Executive Order
12866, the Congressional Review Act
(CR) requires a 60-day delay from date
of publication in the Federal Register.
This stay of the final rule for 60-days as
provided in this notification will bring
the final rule into compliance with the
CRA.
This rulemaking also corrects the
Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review, which the final
rule was determined to be significant.
