ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Risk Management Agency (RMA), on behalf of the Federal Crop
Insurance Corporation (FCIC), is in the process of reviewing all
regulations within its purview to reduce regulatory burdens and costs.
Pursuant to this review, FCIC has identified obsolete, unnecessary, and
outdated provisions in title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR).
FCIC is removing these provisions to streamline and clarify the
dictates of title 7. The changes in this rule will reduce confusion for
FCIC customers but otherwise the changes will have no impacts to
insurance coverage for past or present FCIC customers.
DATES: This rule is effective August 27, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The President's Executive Order 14219 of February 19, 2025,
Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President's
``Department of Government Efficiency'' Deregulatory Initiative, 90 FR
10583, and subsequent implementing memorandum directed all agency heads
to review regulations within their purview and rescind those that are,
among other things, unlawful or unnecessary. FCIC has undertaken such a
review and is accordingly rescinding the following provisions from
title 7.
Regulatory Certifications
Executive Orders
This document does not meet the criteria for a significant
regulatory action as specified by Executive Order (E.O.) 12866. This
action also has no federalism or tribal implications and will not
impose substantial unreimbursed compliance costs on States, local
governments, or Indian Tribal governments. Therefore, impact statements
are not required under E.O. 13132 or 13175.
Environmental Evaluation
This rule will have no significant effect on the human environment;
therefore, neither an environmental assessment nor impact statement is
required.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not contain reporting or recordkeeping requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Explanation of Provisions
There are 7 obsolete crop insurance regulations within the Common
Crop Insurance Regulations (7 CFR part 457). These obsolete crop
insurance regulations have been replaced by alternate policies,
approved under 7 U.S.C. 1508(h) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act,
available on the RMA website. The existence of these obsolete
regulations in the CFR burdens farmers and insurance personnel with
rules that are no longer in effect. Specifically, the following
regulations are removed:
<bullet> Texas citrus tree crop insurance provisions in 7 CFR
457.106;
<bullet> Sugarcane crop insurance provisions in 7 CFR 457.116;
<bullet> Macadamia tree crop insurance provisions in 7 CFR 457.130;
<bullet> Peanut crop insurance provisions in 7 CFR 457.134;
<bullet> Nursery crop insurance provisions in 7 CFR 457.162;
<bullet> Nursery peak inventory endorsement in 7 CFR 457.163; and
<bullet> Nursery rehabilitation endorsement in 7 CFR 457.164.
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 457
Acreage allotments, Crop insurance, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
For the reasons stated in the preamble, FCIC amends 7 CFR part 457
as follows:
