SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: RBCS published a final rule with request for 
comments in the Federal Register on June 15, 2021, at 86 FR 31585. The 
final rule implemented a newly authorized program enacted under the 
authority of Section 6424 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 
(Pub. L. 115-334) (Farm Bill).
    Within the preamble to the final rule, the Agency addressed each of 
the 11 substantive public comments received from the request for 
comments published on July 22, 2020, in the Federal Register (85 FR 
44273) as well as two public listening sessions held on July 28 and 
July 30, 2020, and one listening session held on July 21, 2020, to 
receive comments from Agency staff. The final rule allowed the Agency: 
(a) To address comments received from the request for comments and the 
listening sessions and (b) to implement the final regulation.
    The Agency did not receive any substantiative or negative comments 
during the public comment period on the final rule and therefore 
confirms the rule without change.

Administrator, Rural Business--Cooperative Service.
