H.R. 6063 directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to officially designate the Guam and Western Pacific USDA Rural Development office as the primary representative for USDA rural development programs in Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, the Marshall Islands, Palau, and the Federated States of Micronesia. The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture and the Undersecretary for Rural Development to make this designation within 90 days of the law's enactment and to grant this office the same rights and responsibilities held by USDA Rural Development offices in U.S. states. This change affects residents and businesses in these Pacific island territories and freely associated states seeking access to USDA rural development assistance. The bill does not specify additional funding but essentially streamlines the administrative structure to provide clearer regional coordination. The legislation was introduced by Representative Moylan on November 17, 2025.
