  • 2025-02484 — Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records; Delay of Effective Date
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 9301
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), has announced a delay in the implementation of a set of record exemptions related to the Privacy Act. Originally set to be effective from January 10, 2025, these exemptions will now be postponed until April 11, 2025, following a regulatory freeze directive from the President. The records pertain to the Smuggling Interdiction and Trade Compliance National Information Communication Activity System (SNICAS), which tracks activities to prevent illegal importation of commodities. The delay allows APHIS to further review the exemptions, which restrict public access to certain law enforcement records.

    Simple Explanation

    The USDA is taking more time to make certain records about stopping illegal imports secret until they make sure everything is okay with the rules, so they are waiting until April 2025 instead of January 2025 to do this. The President asked them to pause and review the changes to make sure they fit the regulations.

    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Department of Agriculture is seeking feedback on proposed changes to its information collection requirements, which are being submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) plans to update the Agricultural Surveys Program to enhance cost efficiency and maintain public data products. Notably, the June Area Survey methodology will change, and the annual July Cattle Survey will be reinstated. Comments on these proposed changes should be submitted by March 13, 2025, and will help ensure the continued accuracy and utility of agricultural data, which benefits farmers, markets, and policymakers.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Agriculture wants to make some changes to how they collect and use farm data, but they want to hear what people think about these changes first to make sure the numbers stay helpful for farmers and others. They need everyone’s opinions sent in by March 13, 2025, so they can make sure they’re doing a good job.
