Posted on April 2, 2026

Notice is hereby given that the Arkansas Department of Agriculture is amending the Financial Assistance rules, 15 CAR Pt. 2, and repealing the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund rules, 15 CAR Pt. 25, and Clean Water State Revolving Fund rules, 15 CAR Pt. 26, to streamline them into one rule.

Interested parties may submit comments to the proposed rule amendments until May 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Public comments will be accepted by email to [email protected] or by mail to Arkansas Department of Agriculture, Attn: Matthew M. Ford, 1 Natural Resources Drive, Little Rock, AR 72205. Please identify which Rule that you seek to provide comments.
