An advance notice is due in 180 days and an interim final rule in a year
The document says “shall”Who acts: Secretary of AgricultureHow: statuteSec. 502 in the PDF
What the document says
“``(2) Interim final rule.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the Secretary shall publish an interim final rule to carry out this section.''.”
The new section 545 requires the Secretary of Agriculture to publish an advance notice of proposed rulemaking and consult stakeholders within 180 days of enactment, and to publish an interim final rule carrying out the section within a year.
What the document actually says
“``(2) Interim final rule.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the Secretary shall publish an interim final rule to carry out this section.''.”
That sentence, in plain words
The farm agency must publish a rule within one year. It is an interim final rule. Its job is to put this part of the law to work.
What this is about
First the agency must give early notice and ask others. That step is due within 180 days. An interim final rule takes hold while comments come in.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
