Rural Utilities Service December 9, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On September 30, 2024, Rural Development's Rural Business- Cooperative Service, Rural Housing Service, and Rural Utilities Service, agencies of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), published a final rule with comment for the OneRD Guarantee Loan Program (OneRD). The final rule made necessary revisions to the policy and procedures that strengthened the oversight and management of the growing Community Facilities, Water and Waste Disposal, Business and Industry, and Rural Energy for America guarantee portfolios. The final rule had a misspelled subject heading in the preamble. The final rule also contained information in an instruction that was not ultimately in the final rule, an incomplete definition of affiliate, and a misstatement regarding protective advances. This document corrects the final regulation.
