SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 4, 2014, the Rural Housing 

Service, Rural Business-Cooperative 

Service, Rural Utilities Service, and 

Farm Service Agency published a 

proposed rule in the Federal Register 

(79 FR 6740), ‘‘Environmental Policies 

and Procedures.’’ 

In the proposed rule, Rural 

Development, a mission area within the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture 

comprised of the Rural Housing Service 

(RHS), Rural Business-Cooperative 

Service (RBS) and Rural Utilities 

Service (RUS), hereafter referred to as 

the Agency, is proposing to unify and 

update environmental policies and 

procedures covering all Agency 

programs by consolidating two existing 

Agency regulations that implement the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) and other applicable 

environmental requirements. These 

rules supplement the regulations of the 

Council on Environmental Quality 

(CEQ), the regulations of the Advisory 

Council on Historic Preservation 

(ACHP), associated environmental 

statutes, Executive orders and 

Departmental Regulations. The majority 

of the proposed changes relate to the 

categorical exclusion provisions in the 

Agency’s procedures for implementing 

NEPA. These proposed changes are 

intended to better align the Agency’s 

regulations, particularly for those 

actions listed as categorical exclusions, 

to the Agency’s current activities and 

recent experiences and to the CEQ’s 

Memorandum for Heads of Federal 

Departments and Agencies entitled 

‘‘Establishing, Applying, and Revising 

Categorical Exclusions under the 

National Environmental Policy Act’’ 

issued on November 23, 2010, and to 

consolidate the provisions of the 

Agency’s two current NEPA rules at 7 

CFR parts 1794 and 1940, subpart G.

Development.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

Shelf Eligibility Conditions for AssetBacked Securities,2 to permit interested 

persons to comment on an approach for 

the dissemination of asset-level data,3

which is described in a staff 

memorandum, dated February 25, 2014,

public comment file.4

The comment period is scheduled to

received requests for an extension of 

time for public comment.5 The 

Commission believes that providing the 

public additional time to consider and 

comment on the matters outlined in the 

staff memorandum and submit 

comprehensive responses would benefit 

the Commission in its consideration of 

the final rules. Therefore, we are 

extending the comment period until 

April 28, 2014.
