The SNUR requires persons to notify EPA at least 90 days before commencing the manufacture (defined by statute to include import) or processing of this chemical substance for an activity that is designated as a significant new use in the SNUR. The required notification initiates EPA's evaluation of the conditions of that use for that chemical substance.

FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

• Loan Performance Categories and Financial Reporting (2026-15027; 12 CFR Part 621) — The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, or our) amends our regulatory high-risk loan performance categories by removing “Formally restructured loans (TDR),” also known as troubled debt restructurings. In 2022, changes in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs, enhanced disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings undertaken when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and changed existing vintage year disclosure requirements for public business entities. This final rule removes TDRs from our regulatory loan performance categories to reflect changes in GAAP. Because FCA regulations require Farm Credit System (System) institutions to prepare financial statements and reports in accordance with GAAP, retaining TDRs as a regulatory loan performance category is no longer consistent with current accounting standards. In addition to making conforming technical changes, the rule also makes minor technical and organizational revisions to ensure internal consistency within the regulation. [official summary truncated; see source] Action: Final rule. Dates: This regulation will be effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register during which either or both Houses of Congress are in session. We will publish a document announcing the effective date in the Federal Register .
