USDA RD's Unnumbered Letters – Archive

USDA Rural Development’s Administrative Notices (ANs) and Unnumbered Letters (ULs) provide very useful information for rural developers and advocates. However, USDA does not maintain an archive of notices after they are removed from the RD website. HAC maintains this archive as a reference.
