(Washington, D.C., April 7, 2026) — Today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the creation of the USDA Guidance Portal. This interactive tool — a searchable, indexed database — contains guidance issued by the Department and its agencies.
“Over the last several months, the Department has inventoried tens of thousands of pages of guidance documents, purged the outdated, and encapsulated the remaining into a single, searchable database — restoring and improving the portal the Biden administration deleted,” said Deputy Secretary Stephen Alexander Vaden. “Today’s announcement delivers on Secretary Rollin’s commitment to action in February’s Farmer and Rancher Freedom Framework, and the Trump Administration’s commitment to transparency. The Department will continually update this portal and agency websites to ensure that it reflects current operations across the 29 agencies and staff offices impacted.”
The USDA Guidance Portal can be accessed here.
