SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rural Development is a mission area within 
the USDA comprising RUS, Rural Housing Service, and Rural Business-
Cooperative Service. Rural Development's mission is to increase 
economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for all rural 
Americans. The mission is met by providing loans, loan guarantees, 
grants, and technical assistance through numerous programs aimed at 
creating and improving housing, business, and infrastructure throughout 
rural America.
    The final rule that published July 18, 2025 (90 FR 33872, included 
a 30-day comment period that ended on August 18, 2025. The intent of 
the changes outlined in the final rule are to update regulations with 
the additions of new plant categories and accounts, and update the 
guidance to incorporate the new additions. The uniformity and 
consistency for all awardees should benefit both the awardees and 
Agency.
    The Agency did not receive any comments, therefore, no change to 
the rulemaking is necessary. The Agency confirms the final rule without 
change.
