Federal Register removes obsolete regulations

Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official
electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal
Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status.
For complete information about, and access to, our official publications
and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

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

The regulations removed are:

Actual Production History (7 CFR Part 400)

The regulations at 7 CFR part 400 subpart G were transferred to 7 CFR 457.8. The coverage offered in the program was moved in the CFR but not eliminated, rendering this specific regulation obsolete and redundant. Thus, for the reasons explained in the preamble, FCIC is eliminating this part to streamline title 7.

Prevented Planting Supplemental Disaster Payments (7 CFR Part 460)

FCIC is eliminating the regulations at 7 CFR part 460 subpart A. This subpart specifies the terms and conditions of prevented planting supplemental disaster payments. Prevented planting supplemental disaster payments provide additional compensation to producers prevented from planting crops insured under crop insurance policy reinsured by Federal Crop Insurance Corporation due to disaster-related conditions. However, these payments were only available in 2019. Therefore, pursuant to the reasoning laid out in the preamble, FCIC is rescinding the regulations found at part 460 subpart A.

Pandemic Cover Crop Program (7 CFR Part 460)

FCIC is eliminating the regulations at 7 CFR part 460 subpart B. This subpart specifies the terms and conditions of the Pandemic Cover Crop Program. Program premium support was limited to eligible producers for eligible insured acres during the 2021 and 2022 crop seasons. As this time period has passed, these regulations are obsolete. Therefore, FCIC is rescinding part 460 subpart B pursuant to the reasons laid out in the preamble.

List of Subjects
