SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The interim rule published in the May 20,
2015, Federal Register implements Section 6025 of the Agricultural Act
of 2014. The Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) requires
that Congress be afforded at least 60 days to review rules before they
become effective. The May 20, 2015 interim rule only provided a 30 day
period before the rule would become effective. Therefore, to comply
with the Congressional Review Act, the effective date for the interim
rule is being extended an additional 30 days to July 17, 2015.
