## Abstract

The Rural Housing Service (RHS), formerly Rural Housing and Community Development Service (RHCDS), a successor Agency to the Farmers Home Administration (FmHA), amends its regulations for the Farm Labor Housing (LH) program. This action is taken to implement an annual competitive funding cycle for off-farm proposals that will be announced elsewhere in this Federal Register. The intended outcome is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the application process and enable the Agency to process applications in a more efficient and timely manner. This rule also implements the provision of Public Law 105-276, enacted October 21, 1998, that permits as an eligible LH borrower entity a limited partnership with a nonprofit general partner.
