@SecVilsack

  • Yesterday, the Equity Commission presented me with their recommendations to remove barriers to @USDA programs and services and create a more equitable Department. I am very grateful for their work, and to @DepSecBronaugh for her leadership on the commission.
  • Today we’re announcing the first steps to provide financial assistance to farmers, ranchers or forest landowners who have experienced discrimination. These funds are another stepping stone in the long march towards justice and an inclusive, equitable USDA.

@CPSC

  • CPSC approved a Federal Register notice of the Request For Information (RFI) seeking public input on chronic hazards associated with gas stoves and proposed solutions to those hazards. BVS Gas Ranges RFI notice (cpsc.gov)
