To reflect changes in USDA organization, numerous functions are being moved around, including the following for RD and RHS. Management support functions for the RD agencies are now consolidated in the RD Business Center, so this rule moves authority related to environmental laws to the Business Center rather than RHS, RBS and RUS. It also moves authority to service RHS single-family loans to the RD Business Center. It gives the Assistant to the Secretary for RD the authority to transfer loan servicing for multifamily housing, community facilities, RUS and RBS to the RD Business Center in the future.
