However, some proposed actions may require other Federal consultation to determine if there are extraordinary circumstances as specified in § 799.33.

Those proposed actions that are similar in scope (purpose, intent, and breadth) and the potential significance of impacts to those listed in this section, but not specifically listed in § 799.31 or § 799.32, will be considered categorical exclusions in this category, unless it is determined that extraordinary circumstances exist, as specified in § 799.33: (1) (i) Closing cost payments; (ii) Commodity loans; (iii) Debt set asides; (iv) Deferral of loan payments; (v) Youth loans; (vi) Loan consolidation; (vii) Loans for annual operating expenses, except livestock; (viii) Loans for equipment; (ix) Loans for family living expenses; (x) Loan subordinati
