SUMMARY: On October 25, 2024, Rural Development's Multifamily Housing
(MFH or Agency), an Agency of the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA), published a final rule. The final rule amended the
current regulation for the Off-Farm Labor Housing (Off-FLH) program to
clarify the grant agreement term and adopted the period of performance
as required by Federal award information requirements. The changes
clarified for applicants and grantees their obligations and
requirements as Federal award recipients. The effective date set out in
the preamble of the final rule was October 25, 2024 (the date the final
rule published in the Federal Register). The effective date should have
been November 25, 2024 (30 days after the final rule published in the

enforcement date for the amendments in the October 25, 2024, final

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 25, 2024, RHS published a final
rule amending 7 CFR 3560.5668. RHS incorrectly established the
effective date as October 25, 2024. The intention was for the final
rule to become effective on November 25, 2024. Because the amendments
in the rule were incorporated into the CFR on October 25, 2024, RHS is
announcing in this document that enforcement of, and compliance with,
the amended regulations is November 25, 2024.
