        The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996
    Act) established the Fund for Rural America to provide support to rural
    communities across the United States. The 1996 Act provided that $100
    million be made available on January 1, 1997 for use by the Fund. The
    1997 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from Natural
    Disasters (P.L. 105-18) limited the available funding for the Fund to
    $80 million. As authorized by the 1996 Act, the Secretary of Agriculture
    allocated the available funding between rural development and research
    activities. The Act specifies that at least one-third of the funds be
    allocated to rural development activities and one-third to research
    activities. No more than two-thirds of the available funds may be made
    available for rural development activities.

        In 1997, the Secretary allocated $44 million of the available
    funding to support ongoing rural development activities. Another $36
    million was provided for research, extension, and education grants.

        The 1996 Farm Bill authorized $100 million for the Fund in each of
    1997, 1999, and 2000. The Department's 1998 budget included a proposal
    to shift the $100 million available in 2000 to 1998 in order to
    facilitate more consistent and efficient program delivery. Since this
    proposal was not accepted, no funding was authorized for the Fund in
    1998.

        The Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of
    1998, P.L. 105-185 extended authorization for the Fund for Rural America
    through October 1, 2002, but reduced the amount to be available annually
    for the Fund to $60 million beginning in 1999. These funds are available
    for two years. The 1999 appropriations language blocked the use of 1999
    funds in 1999. However, these carryover funds are available for use in
    2000. The Secretary allocated $40 million of the available $60 million
    funding in 2000 to support outreach for socially disadvantaged
    producers, water and waste grants and loans, farm labor housing grants,
    and other ongoing rural development activities. Another $20 million was
    provided for center grants for research focused on minority land and
    community security, food entrepreneurship, manure and animal waste
    management, site-specific resource management, and people in forest
    communities. The 2000 appropria

        The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 required the establishment of a Chief
    Information Officer (CIO) for major Federal agencies. To meet the intent
    of the law and to provide a Departmental focus for information resources
    management issues, Secretary's Memorandum 1030-30, dated August 8, 1996,
    established the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). OCIO
    provides Departmentwide policy guidance, leadership, coordination and
    direction to the Department's information management and information
    technology investment activities in support of USDA program delivery.
    The Office provides information security for long-range planning
    guidance, implements measures to ensure that technology investments are
    economical and effective, and implements standards and oversight to
    promote information exchange and technical interoperability.

        This office also provides telecommunications and ADP services to
    USDA agencies throughout the National Information Technology Center with
    locations in Ft. Collins, Colorado, and Kansas City, Missouri. Direct
    ADP operational services are also provided to the Office of the
    Secretary, Office of the General Counsel, Office of Communications, the
    Office of Chief Financial Officer, and Executive Operations.

        Public Law 105-277 appropriated funds to be available beginning in
    fiscal year 1999 through 2001, for Year 2000 remediation activities. The
    Year 2000 Program office provides oversight and guidance to ensure the
    uninterrupted delivery of USDA programs and services. 2000 reflects a
    transfer of $4.4 million of these funds to USDA for a total of $57
    million.

        The Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 requires
    the Secretary of Agriculture to procure and use computer systems in a
    manner that enhances efficiency, productivity, and client services, and
    that promotes computer information sharing among agencies of the
    Department. In addition, the Clinger Cohen Act of 1996 requires USDA to
    maximize the value of information technology acquisitions to improve the
    efficiency and effectiveness of USDA programs. Congress has also
    expressed a strong desire for and is considering additional legislation,
    that would require these county-based agencies to make more services
    available to the public electronically. Since its beginning in 1996, the
    USDA Service Center modernization initiative has been working to
    restructure county field offices, modernize and integrate business
    approaches and replace the current stove-pipe and aging information
    systems with a modern Common Computing Environment (CCE) that optimizes
    information sharing, customer service, and staff efficiencies. The funds
    requested under this account would fund essential capital investments
    needed to achieve the goal of a fully operational CCE in 2002 as set
    forth in the modernization plan. Economies of scale in the procurement
    and management of information technology systems present compelling
    arguments for coordinating information technology investments. Without
    these investments, the Department's ability to provide timely and
    efficient services will continue to erode and the costs of maintaining
    the separate, aging systems will increase. Additional funds in the
    individual agency budgets will support the reengineering of business
    processes and data acquisition needed to maximize the benefits of this
    technology.

        Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
    Liability Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the
    Department has the responsibility to meet the same standards for storage
    and disposition of hazardous wastes as private businesses. Since the
    Department has substantial commitments under these Acts, a central fund
    has been established so that resources may be allocated to the
    Department's agencies. Allocations are made according to objective
    criteria.

        Farm Outreach and Assistance Grants.--This program is authorized
    under section 2501 of Title XXV of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation,
    and Trade Act of 1990. Section 2501 requires the Secretary of
    Agriculture to provide outreach and technical assistance to encourage
    and assist socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers to own and
    operate farms and ranches and to participate in agricultural programs.

        The Secretary may make grants to and enter into contracts and other
    agreements with eligible community-based organizations, 1890/1862/1994
    Land-Grant Institutions, Tuskegee University, Native American Community
    Colleges and Hispanic Servicing Institutions with demonstrated
    experience in providing education or other agriculture-related services
    to socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers.

        The USDA through partnership agreements will provide outreach,
    training, technical assistance, and sound farm management and production
    to small farmers and ranchers by providing assistance in custom farm
    plans, production, crop diversification, marketing practices, farm
    accounting, and recordkeeping. The overall objective of the program is
    to enhance the ability of small and minority producers to operate a
    farming or ranching enterprise independently and produce income to
    service an adequate standard of living. Services are provided by non-
    federal employees who are employed by the entities.

        The Economic Research Service provides economic and other social
    science research and analysis for public and private decisions on
    agriculture, food, natural resources, and rural America.

        Miscellaneous funds received from States, local organizations, and
    others are available for support of economic research and analysis (7
    U.S.C. 450b, 450h, 3318b).

        The 2001 request includes funding for three new initiatives: an
    initiative on structural change, coordination and concentration in food
    and agriculture; an initiative on global research, statistics, and
    outreach; and an initiative, concerning the economic incentives for
    carbon sequestration and trace gas emissions control in agriculture. The
    2000 appropriation included funds for certain evaluation activities of
    the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, which are proposed to be funded
    through that account in 2001.

        Agricultural estimates.--The Service provides the official National
    and State estimates of acreage, yield, and production of crops, stocks,
    and value of farm commodities, and numbers of inventory values of
    livestock items. Data on approximately 120 crops and 45 livestock
    products are covered in nearly 400 reports issued each year. Detailed
    data are also collected on agricultural chemical use, labor, and
    expenditures. In addition, the Census of Agriculture is conducted every
    five years which provides comprehensive data on the Nation's
    agricultural industry down to the county level.

        The work under this activity is conducted through 45 State offices
    serving the 50 States; most of these offices are operated as joint State
    and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies
    provide additional State and county data. The 2001 program includes
    increases for development of NASS Computer Security Architecture,
    implementation of a hog survey, expansion of the environmental
    statistics program, and a reduction in lower priority programs.

        Statistical research and service.--This activity is designed to
    improve the statistical methods and related technologies by improving
    sample survey designs and procedures and by testing new forecasting and
    estimating techniques, such as the use of remote sensing and geographic
    information systems.

        Census of Agriculture.--The Census of Agriculture is conducted every
    five years. In 2001, a decrease reflects removal of the Agricultural
    Economics and Land Ownership Survey. An increase is requested to fund
    cyclical activities associated with preparations for the 2002 Census of
    Agriculture.

        Miscellaneous funds received from local organizations, commodity
    groups, and others are available for dissemination of reports and for
    survey work conducted under cooperative agreements (7 U.S.C. 450b, 450h,
    3318b).

        Funding for the Agricultural Research Service is proposed as part of
    the Research Fund for America. This proposal highlights the
    Administration's priority to providing needed and sustained investments
    in important Federal research programs on a deficit neutral basis. A
    discussion of the Research Fund for America, and two other funds for the
    environment and transportation, can be found in Section II of the Budget
    volume.

        The Agricultural Research Service conducts research to provide the
    means for a safer, more economical supply of agricultural products for
    the Nation and to provide producers with technologies to competitively
    supply these products. Technology needs of regulatory, technical
    assistance and education agencies of USDA and other Federal agencies are
    supported through ARS research. The Service uses coordinated,
    interdisciplinary approaches to perform basic and applied research on
    soil and water conservation, plant and animal sciences, commodity
    conversion and delivery, human nutrition, and integrated agricultural
    systems. In 2001, the Service proposes increased emphases for critical
    research needs in agriculture, such as: Emerging and exotic diseases,
    Invasive species, biobased products and new uses, the President's Food
    Safety Initiative, Human Nutrition, Agricultural genomics and genetics,
    Pest Management requirements of the Food Quality Protection Act,
    Integrated sciences for ecological challenges, Air quality, Global
    climate change, and Agricultural information and library services. The
    Service expects to submit 70 new patent applications, participate in 90
    new Cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs), license 30
    new products, and develop 70 new plant varieties to release to industry
    for further development and marketing in 2000.

        Research on soil, water, and air sciences.--Research is conducted to
    improve soil and water management, irrigation, and conservation
    practices; to protect natural resources from harmful effects of soil,
    air, and water pollutants and to minimize certain agricultural pollution
    problems; and to determine

    [[Page 71]]

    the relation of soil types and water to plant, animal, and human
    nutrition.

        Research on plant science.--Research is conducted to increase plant
    productivity by improving plant varieties, developing new crop
    resources, and improving crop production practices, including methods to
    control plant diseases, nematodes, insects, and weeds.

        Research on animal science.--Research is conducted to increase
    livestock productivity (including poultry) through improved breeding,
    feeding, and management practices, and to develop methods for
    controlling diseases, parasites, and insect pests affecting these
    animals.

        Research on commodity conversion and delivery.--Research is
    conducted to develop new and improved foods, feeds, products, and
    processes for agricultural commodities and to im- prove the processing,
    transportation, storage, wholesaling, and retailing of products.
    Research is also conducted on means to ensure the safety of food and
    feed supplies, control insect pests of man and his belongings, and
    reduce the hazards to human life resulting from pesticide residues and
    other causes.

        Human nutrition research.--Research is conducted on subjects such as
    human nutritional requirements and the composition and nutritive value
    of foods, to promote optimum human health through improved nutrition.

        Integration of agricultural systems.--Research is conducted to
    develop integrated systems for efficiently producing, processing, and
    marketing agricultural products, and to develop alternative agricultural
    systems that are less dependent upon nonrenewable resources and that are
    productive, efficient, and sustainable in the long term.

        Agricultural information and library services.--The National
    Agricultural Library provides a variety of information products and
    services through: (1) the administration of a unique collection of
    books, journals, and other information materials about food and
    agriculture to ensure accessibility to their contents; (2) the
    development and maintenance of cooperative efforts in the library and
    related information areas, with other Federal agencies and with
    educational institutions in each State; and (3) an active program of
    information dissemination.

        Repair and maintenance of facilities.--Funds are used to restore,
    upgrade, and maintain Federal facilities to meet OSHA and EPA
    requirements, provide suitable workspace for in-house research programs,
    and to retrofit existing structures for better energy utilization.

        Contingencies.--Funds available to meet urgent needs that develop
    unexpectedly during the year when such needs cannot be met by
    redirection of resources from other projects.

        Collaborative Research Program.--Funds from the U.S. Agency for
    International Development (AID), allows USDA to provide short-term
    scientific exchanges to the New Independent States of the former Soviet
    Union (NIS), in developing a market-based agricultural system necessary
    to meet the food needs of their populations and to develop and
    strengthen trade linkages between their countries and related
    agribusiness and agricultural enterprise in the U.S.

        Reimbursements.--Agricultural Research Service performs program
    research activities and services for other USDA, Federal, and non-
    Federal agencies. These activities and services are paid for on a
    reimbursable basis.

        Note.--2000 and 2001 estimates includes water quality grants, food
    safety and pesticide impact assessments, activities previously financed from
    the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service
    Research and Education Activities and Extension Activities accounts.

        Section 406 of the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education
    Reform Act of 1998 authorized integrated research, education, and
    extension competitive grants to provide funding for integrated,
    multifunctional agricultural research, extension, and education
    activities. A 100% non-Federal match is required for commodity or
    location-specific activities. Programs proposed for funding under this
    account are:

        Small farms initiative.--In 2001, a small farms initiative, to be
    implemented through the Department's Land-Grant partners, is proposed in
    support of the Secretary's Civil Rights Initiative to strengthen USDA's
    research and educational assistance to the socially disadvantaged.

        Water quality.--This funding will enable CSREES and the State
    Agricultural Experiment Stations and the Cooperative Extension system to
    become viable partners with other state and federal agencies in
    addressing water quality issues of national importance. Funds will be
    awarded based upon peer review of competitive proposals for projects
    that have components for research and extension.

        Food safety.--Funding will support research, education and extension
    programs to improve safety of food products and create a more informed
    public about food safety issues.

        National agricultural pesticide impact assessment.--Funding will
    provide management and coordination for USDA and State activities that
    support informed regulatory decisions concerning pesticides that
    significantly benefit U.S. food production without causing adverse
    effects on the environment.

        Crops at risk from FQPA implementation.--Funding will support the
    development of new multi-tactic IPM strategies. Grant opportunities will
    be available to state Land-Grant and federal scientists, non-Land-Grant
    institutions, and grower commodity group partnerships with these groups.

        FQPA Risk mitigation program for major food crop systems.--Funds are
    proposed to support a program to address risk mitigation that will have
    a food production system focus, integrating food safety and water
    quality considerations as impacted by FQPA. Emphasis will be placed on
    development and implementation of new innovative pest management systems
    designed to maintain crop productivity and profitability while meeting
    or exceeding environmental quality and human health standards.

        Methyl bromide transition program.--This is a competitive grants
    program designed to support the discovery and implementation of
    practical pest management alternatives for commodities affected by the
    methyl bromide phase-out in 2005.

        Anti-Hunger and Food Security grants program.--Funds are proposed to
    establish an anti-hunger and food security program which will support
    competitively-awarded projects. This program will provide funds to non-
    profit entities for projects that reduce hunger, improve nutrition,
    bolster community food security, and help families move from poverty to
    self-sufficiency.

        Invasive species program.--This program will support a new
    competitive grant program that supports integrated research, extension,
    and education activities in collaboration with representative
    individuals, groups and agencies at a local level to address invasive
    species issues on an ecoregional basis.

        Biobased products program.--This funding will enable CSREES to work
    with other agencies to increase economic opportunities for U.S. farmers
    by developing and expanding markets through research, development, and
    commercialization of new, economically competitive and environmentally
    preferable products from biobased resources.

        Organic transition program.--This program supports the development
    and implementation of biologically based pest management practices that
    mitigate the ecological, agronomic, and economic risks associated with
    the transition from conventional to organic agricultural production
    systems.

        International science and education grants.--This program supports
    the globalization of colleges and universities to strengthen U.S.
    economic competitiveness and to promote international market development
    for U.S. agriculture.

        1998 Research Act.--The Agricultural Research, Extension, and
    Education Reform Act of 1998 authorized the annual appropriation of $120
    million for high priority research, extension, and education. These
    funds are available for two years. The 1999 appropriations language
    blocked the use of 1999 funds in 1999. However, these funds are
    available in 2000. The 2000 appropriations language blocked the use of
    2000 funds in 2000. The 2001 budget allows the use of the second year's
    availability of the 2000 funds, but disallows the expenditure of the
    authorized $120 million for 2001.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
        Note.--In 2000 and 2001 funding for water quality grants, food safety
    and pesticide impact assessments is included in the account for integrated
    activities.

        Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service
    participates in a nationwide system of agricultural re- search and
    education program planning and coordination between State institutions
    and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It assists in maintaining
    cooperation among the State institutions, and between the State
    institutions and their Federal research partners. The Agency administers
    grants and payments to State institutions to supplement State and local
    funding for agricultural research and higher education.

        Payments under the Hatch Act.--Funds under the Hatch Act are
    allocated on a formula basis to agricultural experiment stations of the
    land-grant colleges in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto
    Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Micronesia, and Northern
    Mariana Islands.

        Cooperative forestry research.--These funds are allocated by formula
    to land-grant colleges or agricultural experiment stations in the 50
    States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other State-supported
    colleges and universities having a forestry school and offering graduate
    training in forestry sciences.

        Payments to 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University.--Funds allocated
    on a formula basis support agricultural research and broaden the
    curricula at the seventeen 1890 land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee
    University.

        Special research grants.--This program addresses research areas of
    national interest. Increased funding is proposed for grant programs in
    IR-4 minor crop pest management, pest management alternatives, and
    sustainable agriculture. Funding is also proposed for integrated pest
    management. Advances in these areas will provide producers with safe,
    alternative pest control methods resulting in more farmers increasing
    the number of acres on which Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods
    are used. The program goal is the implementation of IPM methods on 75
    percent of crop acreage by the year 2000, with an outcome of creating an
    agricultural system that is highly competitive in the global economy.
    Funding proposed for IR-4 minor crop pest management and minor use
    animal drugs will address the growing need for registration of safe
    pesticides and drugs for minor crops and animals and lead to reduced
    levels of chemical and drug residues in food products by half. These
    pest management programs will be coordinated to address Food Quality and
    Protection Act issues. A $2 million grant program for global change is
    proposed for research at universities as part of a coordinated Federal
    initiative. Funding is also proposed for the National Biological Impact
    Assessment Program, rural development centers, and aquaculture centers.

        National research initiative competitive grants.--Increased funding
    is being proposed for the National Research Initiative (NRI). Research
    scientists throughout the U.S. scientific community compete for funding
    under this program. The performance goal has been to attract the widest
    possible involvement of U.S. scientists in agricultural research to
    increase the knowledge base related to U.S. agriculture, food, and the
    environment and maintain world leadership in agricultural science and
    engineering. NRI funding has resulted in increased participation by
    universities which are not traditionally considered agricultural schools
    and of highly skilled researchers in projects addressing agricultural
    issues. The outcomes include the efficient communication of research
    results to scientific, engineering, and community user groups. These
    grants support research in plants and animals; natural resources and the
    environment; nutrition, food safety, and health; markets, trade, and
    rural development; and processing for adding value or developing new
    products. This initiative includes funding for a plant genome mapping
    program for which the Agricultural Research Service serves as the lead
    agency. Global change research being carried out through the NRI is part
    of a government-wide program. In 2001 the proposed increase to $150
    million will provide resources needed for the program to enhance and
    develop scientific areas that are critical such as: agricultural
    genomics, food safety, environment and natural resource management and
    competitiveness and profitability of agriculture.

        Animal health and disease research.--Funds, distributed by formula,
    support livestock and poultry disease research in sixty-seven colleges
    of veterinary medicine and in eligible agricultural experiment stations.

        1994 Institutions Research.--Funding is proposed to continue the
    competitive research grants program to build the research capacity at
    the thirty 1994 institutions by supporting agricultural research
    activities that address tribal, national and multistate priorities.

        Federal administration.--A coordinating and review staff assists in
    maintaining cooperation within and among the States, and between the
    States and their Federal research partners. This staff also administers
    research and education grants and payments to States. Federal
    administration is funded from a combination of program set-asides from
    formula and grant programs and from direct appropriation for
    administration.

        Higher education.--Increased funding is proposed for graduate
    fellowships grants, competitive challenge grants, Hispanic-serving
    institutions education grants program, and a multicultural scholars
    program. Funding is also proposed for a Native American institutions
    program. Proposed funding for these higher education programs would
    support approximately 150 grants. These programs will enable
    universities to broaden their curricula; increase faculty development;
    student research projects; and the number of new scholars recruited in
    the food and agricultural sciences. In addition, an increased number of
    graduate students, including minority graduate students, will be
    enrolled in the agricultural

    [[Page 76]]

    sciences. Funding is also proposed for a capacity building program at
    the 1890 institutions as part of the USDA initiative to strengthen these
    institutions through a broadening of curricula, increased faculty
    development and student research projects. Proposed funding would
    support approximately 49 teaching and research grants.

        Reimbursable program.--Funds support basic and applied agriculture
    research and activities performed for other USDA, Federal, and non-
    Federal agencies.

        Native American Institutions Endowment Fund.--This program provides
    for an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions (30 Tribally
    controlled colleges) to strengthen the infrastructure of these
    institutions and develop Indian expertise for the food and agricultural
    sciences and businesses and their own communities. At the termination of
    each fiscal year, the Secretary shall withdraw the income from the
    endowment fund for the fiscal year, and after making adjustments for the
    cost of administering the fund, distribute the adjusted income on a
    formula basis to the 1994 land-grant institutions.

        Note.--In 2000 and 2001 funding for water quality grants, food safety
    and pesticide impact assessments is included in the account for integrated
    activities.

        The Cooperative Extension System, a national educational network, is
    a dynamic organization pledged to meeting the country's needs for
    research-based educational programs that will enable people to make
    practical decisions to improve their lives. To accomplish its mission,
    the Cooperative Extension System adjusts programs to meet the shifting
    needs and priorities of the people it serves.

        The nonformal educational network combines the expertise and
    resources of federal, state, and local partners. The partners in this
    unique System are: (a) The Cooperative State Research, Education, and
    Extension Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; (b) Extension
    professionals at land-grant universities throughout the United States
    and its territories; and (c) Extension professionals in nearly all of
    the Nation's 3,150 counties. Thousands of paraprofessionals and nearly 3
    million volunteers support this partnership and magnify its impact.
    Strong linkages with both public and private external groups are also
    crucial to the Cooperative Extension System's strength and vitality.

        Base programs, funded by the Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) legislated
    formula funds, are the major educational efforts central to the mission
    of the System and common to most Extension units. They are the ongoing
    priority efforts of the System, involving many discipline-based and
    multi-disciplinary programs. The System's base programs are the
    foundation of the Extension organization and partnership that are
    intended to increase the number of community-based projects, families,
    and individuals reached to disseminate research findings as widely and
    quickly as possible. The use of electronic mail, satellite transmission
    of courses, and computer-assisted instruction are encouraged to
    communicate ideas.

        Extension resources are provided to the States by these formula
    funds and competitively-awarded programs such as sustainable
    agriculture. Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) funds and payments to the 1890
    colleges and Tuskegee University provide funds to support the Extension
    infrastructure.

        Funds for designated programs, funded by Smith-Lever 3(d) such as
    youth-at-risk and expanded food and nutrition education program (EFNEP),
    provide support for the Cooperative Extension System to address
    identified priority issues.

        National initiatives funded by legislative formulas,
    administratively determined distribution, Congressional and Executive
    intent, and competitively-awarded projects, are the System's commitment
    to respond to important problems of broad national concern with
    additional resources and significantly increased effort to achieve a
    major impact on national priorities. They are the most current
    significant and complex issues on which the Extension System has the
    potential to make a difference--usually in cooperation with other
    agencies, groups, and units of government. The goal is to inform and
    educate these extension agriculture professionals and vol- unteers who,
    in turn, educate the professional farmers and end-users regarding these
    critical initiatives and concerns.

        In 2001 increases have been requested for: the Expanded Food and
    Nutrition Education Program, pest management, children, youth and
    families at risk, a youth farm safety education and certification pilot
    project, extension services on Indian reservations, sustainable
    agriculture, pesticide applicator training, and 1994 (Native American)
    institutions.

                                        ====================================

        The major objectives of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection
    Service (APHIS) are to protect the animal and plant resources of the
    Nation from destructive pests and diseases. This mission is carried out
    under the five major areas of activity, as follows:

        Pest and disease exclusion.--The agency conducts inspection and
    quarantine activities at U.S. ports-of-entry to prevent the introduction
    of exotic animal and plant diseases and pests. APHIS develops and
    conducts preclearance programs to ensure that agricultural products
    destined for U.S. ports-of-entry do not present a risk to U.S.
    agriculture. APHIS engages in cooperative programs in foreign countries
    to control pests of imminent concern to the United States. APHIS also
    certifies plants and plant products for export and regulates imports and
    exports of designated endangered plant species. User fees have been
    implemented to recover the cost of certain agricultural quarantine
    inspection services.

        Plant and animal health monitoring.--The Agency conducts programs to
    assess animal and plant health and to detect endemic and exotic diseases
    and pests. The plant and animal health monitoring programs are primarily
    cooperative efforts of the Federal and State governments, and industry.
    The Agency also carries out surveys in cooperation with the States to
    detect harmful plant and animal pests and diseases and to determine if
    there is a need for pest eradication programs.

        Pest and disease management programs.--The Agency carries out
    programs to control and eradicate infestations and animal diseases that
    threaten the United States; to reduce agricultural losses caused by
    predatory animals, birds, and rodents; to provide technical assistance
    to States, counties, farmer or rancher groups, and foundations; and to
    ensure compliance with interstate movement and disease control
    regulations. Interstate shipments of plants, livestock, and related
    materials are monitored and regulated to prevent the spread of disease.
    APHIS protects agriculture from detrimental animal predators through
    identification, demonstration, and application of the most appropriate
    methods of control.

        Animal care.--The Agency conducts regulatory activities which ensure
    the humane care and handling of animals used in research, exhibition, or
    the wholesale pet trade. The Agency is also responsible for
    administering the Horse Protection Act, which prohibits the showing,
    selling, or exhibition of sore horses.

        Scientific and technical services.--APHIS develops methods to
    control animals and pests that are detrimental to agriculture, other
    wildlife, and public safety. The agency regulates genetic research to
    guard against the release of potentially harmful organisms into the
    environment. APHIS also conducts veterinary diagnostic laboratory
    activities and biologic regulatory enforcement to ensure that the
    products developed for combatting disease are potent, safe, and pure. It
    also provides and directs technology development in coordination with
    other groups in APHIS and Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ)
    officials to support PPQ programs of the Agency and its cooperators at
    the State, national, and international levels.

        Legislation will be proposed to establish user fees for APHIS' costs
    for animal welfare inspections, such as for animal research centers,
    humane societies, and kennels, and for activities associated with the
    issuance of biotechnology certificates.

        This is one of several proposals in the budget to charge fees to
    users directly availing themselves of, or subject to, a government
    service, program, or activity, in order to cover the government's costs.
    Legislation will be proposed to authorize the fees.

        The primary objectives of the Food Safety and Inspection Service are
    to ensure that meat, poultry, shell egg, and egg products are wholesome,
    unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged, as required by the
    Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and
    the Egg Products Inspection Act. Providing adequate resources for
    Federal food safety agencies continues to be a priority of the
    Administration, and the 2001 budget proposes a $38 million increase for
    inspection of meat, poultry, shell egg and egg products. This increase
    will cover pay cost increases for Federal and

    [[Page 82]]

    State inspection programs, and initiatives for: redeployment and
    enhanced capabilities of the inspection workforce; improved risk
    assessment and collaborative programs with States; verification of
    foreign and domestic inspection systems for HACCP compliance; and
    expanded support of Codex Alimentarius.

        The meat, poultry, shell egg and egg products inspection program of
    the Food Safety and Inspection Service provides in-plant inspection of
    all domestic plants preparing meat, poultry, shell eggs, or egg products
    for sale or distribution; reviews foreign inspection systems and
    establishments that prepare meat, poultry, or egg products for export to
    the United States; and provides technical and financial assistance to
    States which maintain meat and poultry inspection programs.

        In 2001, the Administration is proposing a new user fee to offset
    the cost of Federal meat, poultry, shell egg and egg products
    inspection. The proposal would require industry to reimburse the
    government for all Federal services. This proposal would ensure that
    sufficient resources are available to provide the level of in-plant
    inspection necessary to meet the demands of the industry.

        On January 25, 1997, the President announced the 1998 President's
    National Food Safety Initiative. The initiatives for 1998 through 2000
    have laid the foundation for building a strong, scientific base for a
    farm-to-table food safety system that protects public health by
    monitoring and addressing a broad range of food safety hazards. The 2001
    Food Safety Initiative builds on this foundation and will increase
    funding department-wide by $28 million over the 2000 level of $136
    million. Resources are targeted to: (1) further develop a nationally
    integrated food safety system by expanding and strengthening the
    partnership between Federal, State, and local agencies; (2) continue
    enhancing surveillance of foodborne diseases and increasing the speed
    and efficiency of responses to outbreaks of foodborne illness; and (3)
    put greater emphasis on the control of foodborne hazards in the pre-
    harvest phase of the farm-to-table continuum. Continued investment is
    required to realize the President's goal of establishing a seamless,
    science-based food safety system.

        In 1998 the President's Council on Food Safety was established to
    develop a comprehensive strategy for food safety activities, including
    coordinating research efforts and budget submissions among the food
    safety agencies.

        Legislation will be proposed to charge fees for the cost of all
    Federal inspection of meat, poultry, shell egg and egg products at all
    establishments inspected by the Food Safety and Inspection Service
    (FSIS). Currently, fees to reimburse the cost of overtime inspection are
    required at some FSIS-inspected establishments, but not at others.
    Requiring the payment of user fees for inspection services would not
    only result in savings to the taxpayer, but would also ensure that
    sufficient resources are available to provide the mandatory inspection
    services needed to meet increasing industry demand. These fees would
    result in a cost of less than one cent per pound of product to
    consumers, but would allow the government to maintain its level of
    inspection effort to ensure a safe supply of meat, poultry and egg
    products. The implementation of the user fee authority would be designed
    to be fair and equitable; promote accountability and efficiency; and
    minimize any impact on the competitive balance among affected
    industries.

        This is one of several proposals in the budget to charge fees to
    users directly availing themselves of, or subject to, a government
    service, program, or activity, in order to cover the government's costs.

                                        ====================================

        The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA)
    establishes official United States standards for grain, promotes the
    uniform application thereof by official inspection personnel, provides
    for an official inspection system for grain, and regulates the weighing
    and certification of the weight of grain shipped in interstate or
    foreign commerce as authorized by the U.S. Grain Standards Act (USGSA),
    as amended, and the regulations thereof, and the Agricultural Marketing
    Act of 1946 (AMA).

        Standardization activities include establishing and updating U.S.
    grain standards, research, and developing and improving methods to
    ensure the accurate and uniform application of the standards.

        The compliance activities ensure the accurate and uniform
    application of the USGSA and applicable provisions of the AMA. The
    compliance program functions include: (1) evaluating alleged violations
    and initiating preliminary investigations; (2) initiating the
    implementation of corrective actions; (3) conducting management and
    technical reviews; (4) administering the designations and delegations of
    State and private agencies to perform official functions and monitoring
    the performance of the agencies; (5) identifying and, where appropriate,
    waiving and monitoring conflicts of interest; (6) licensing personnel of
    delegated States and designated agencies; (7) registering persons/firms
    engaged in the business of buying grain for sale in foreign commerce,
    and in the business of handling, weighing, or transporting of grain for
    sale in foreign commerce; (8) responding to audits of Grain Inspection
    programs; and (9) reviewing and, when appropriate, approving official
    agencies' fee schedules.

        The International Monitoring Staff briefs foreign buyers, assesses
    foreign inspection and weighing techniques, and responds to foreign
    quality and quantity complaints.

        An advisory committee consisting of members from the grain industry
    exists to advise the Agency regarding efficient and economical
    implementation of the USGSA.

        The Grain Quality Improvement Act of 1986 was enacted on November
    10, 1986, to improve the quality of U.S. grain by prohibiting the
    introduction and reintroduction of dockage and foreign material to
    grain.

        For 2001, authorizing legislation will be submitted to permit,
    subject to appropriations, the collection and use of fees to cover the
    cost of standardization activities.

        The goal of the Packers and Stockyards program is to ensure the
    integrity of the livestock, meat, and poultry markets and the
    marketplace in order to protect producers against unfair, deceptive, or
    discriminatory practices as well as those that are predatory or
    monopolistic in nature. Consumers and members of the livestock, poultry,
    and meat industries are also protected against unfair business practices
    in the marketing of livestock, meat and poultry, and from restrictions
    on competition which could unduly affect prices. The Agency also carries
    out the Secretary's responsibilities under Section 1324 of the Food
    Security Act of 1985 covering ``central filing systems'' established by
    States for pre-notification of security interests against farm products.

        Authorizing legislation will be submitted that would establish a
    license fee that, subject to appropriations, would allow the collection
    and expenditure of funds for all costs associated with administering the
    Packers and Stockyards Act.

        Legislation will be proposed to establish a fee for the
    standardization activities of the Grain Inspection, Packers and
    Stockyards Administration, and a licensing fee to cover the costs of
    administering meat packing and stockyard activities.

        This is one of several proposals in the budget to charge fees to
    users directly availing themselves of, or subject to, a government
    service, program, or activity, in order to cover the government's costs.
    Legislation will be proposed to authorize the fees.

        The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA)
    provides a uniform system for the inspection and weighing of grain.
    Services provided under this system are financed through a fee supported
    revolving fund. This authority has been extended through September 2000.

    [[Page 86]]

        Fee supported programs include direct services, supervision
    activities and administrative functions. Direct services include
    official grain inspection and weighing by GIPSA employees at certain
    export ports as well as the inspection of U.S. grain shipped through
    Canada. The Agency supervises the inspection and weighing activities
    performed by its own employees. The Agency also oversees the inspection
    and weighing of grain performed by employees of 8 delegated States and
    51 designated State and private agencies. The Agency provides an appeal
    service of original grain inspections and a registration system for
    grain exporting firms. Through support from the Association of American
    Railroads and user fees, GIPSA conducts a railroad track scale testing
    program. In addition, the agency provides grading services, on request,
    for rice and grain related products under the authority of the
    Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA).

        Agricultural Marketing Service activities assist producers and
    handlers of agricultural commodities by providing a variety of marketing
    services. These services continue to become more complex as the volume
    of agricultural commodities increases, as a greater number of new
    processed commodities are developed, and as the agricultural market
    structure undergoes extensive changes. Marketing changes include
    increased concentration in food retailing, direct buying, decen

    [[Page 87]]

    tralization of processing, growth of interregional competition, vertical
    integration, and contract farming.

        In 2001, $6 million has been included as part of the
    Administration's Food Safety Initiative. This represents an increase of
    $3 million from the $3 million provided in 2000. These funds will be
    used to monitor microbiological pathogens and establish a baseline for
    the level of these on fruits and vegetables. In addition $6 million is
    included to implement to provision of the mandatory livestock price
    reporting legislation enacted in 2000.

        The individual Marketing Services activities include:

        Market news service.--The market news program provides the
    agricultural community with information pertaining to the movement of
    agricultural products. This nationwide service provides daily reports on
    the supply, demand, and price of over 700 commodities on domestic and
    foreign markets.

        The 2001 request includes almost $6 million to fund the mandatory
    livestock reporting program enacted in 2000.

        Inspection, grading and standardization.--Nationally uniform
    standards of quality for agricultural products are established and
    applied to specific lots of products to: promote confidence between
    buyers and sellers; reduce hazards in marketing due to misunderstandings
    and disputes arising from the use of nonstandard descriptions; and
    encourage better preparation of uniform quality products for market.
    Grading services are provided for cotton and domestic and imported
    tobacco.

        Quarterly inspection of egg handlers and hatcheries is conducted to
    ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit for human consumption.

        Market protection and promotion.--This program consists of: (1) the
    research and promotion programs which are designed to improve the
    competitive position and expand markets for cotton, eggs and egg
    products, honey, pork, beef, dairy products, potatoes, watermelons,
    mushrooms, soybeans, fluid milk and popcorn; (2) the Federal Seed Act;
    and (3) the administration of the Capper-Volstead Act and the
    Agricultural Fair Practices Act. The 2001 request includes an increase
    of over $6 million as part of the President's Food safety initiative to
    initiate a scientifically-sound microbiological data program.

        The pesticide recordkeeping program monitors compliance of private
    certified applicators with Federal regulations requiring them to keep
    records of restricted pesticides used in agricultural production.

        The pesticide data program develops comprehensive, statistically
    defensible information on pesticide residues in food to improve
    government dietary risk procedures.

        Federal seed inspectors conduct tests on seed samples to help ensure
    truthful labeling of agricultural and vegetable seeds sold in interstate
    commerce.

        The Capper-Volstead Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act
    protect producers against discriminatory practices by handlers, permit
    producers to engage in cooperative efforts, and ensure that such
    cooperatives do not engage in practices that monopolize or restrain
    trade.

        The national organic program is being established to certify that
    organically produced food products meet national standards.

        License fees are deposited in this special fund and are used to meet
    the costs of administering the Perishable Agricultural Commodities and
    the Produce Agency Acts (7 U.S.C. 491-497, 499a-499s).

        The Acts are intended to ensure equitable treatment to farmers and
    others in the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables.
    Commission merchants, dealers, and brokers handling these products in
    interstate and foreign commerce are licensed. Complaints of violations
    are investigated and violations dealt with by (a) informal agreements
    between the two parties, (b) formal decisions involving payment of
    reparation awards, and/or (c) suspension or revocation of license and/or
    publication of the facts. Beginning October 1, 1994, an additional fee
    was instituted for the filing of formal and informal complaints of
    violations of the Act. The November 1995 amendments to the Perishable
    Agricultural Commodities Act: (1) increase the license fee and phase out
    fees for wholesale grocers and retailers by 1999; (2) provide permanent
    authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license and reparation
    complaint filing fees; and repeal the 25 percent maximum funding reserve
    cap.

        A 1984 amendment to the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act
    requires traders to have trust assets on hand to meet their obligations
    to fruit and vegetable suppliers. To preserve their trust and establish
    their rights ahead of other creditors, unpaid suppliers file notice with
    both the Department and their debtors that payment is due.

        Under section 32 of the act of August 24, 1935, as amended (7 U.S.C.
    612c), an amount equal to 30 percent of customs receipts collected
    during each calendar year is automatically appropriated for expanding
    outlets for nonbasic commodities. An amount equal to 30 percent of
    receipts collected on fishery products is transferred to the Department
    of Commerce. Most of the funds are transferred to the Food and Nutrition
    Service and are used to purchase commodities under section 6 of the
    National School Lunch Act and other authorities specified in the child
    nutrition appropriation. If unforeseen commodity surpluses should
    develop, unobligated reserve balances are available for surplus removal.

        Expenses and refunds, inspection and grading of farm products.--The
    commodity grading programs provide grading, examination, and
    certification services for a wide variety of fresh and processed food
    commodities using federally approved grade standards and purchase
    specifications. Commodities graded include poultry, livestock, meat,
    dairy products, and fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. These
    programs use official grade standards which reflect the relative quality
    of a particular food commodity based on laboratory testing and
    characteristics such as taste, color, weight, and physical condition.
    Producers voluntarily request grading and certification services which
    are provided on a fee for service basis.

        Note.--The administration fund totals are comprised of 31 separate
    independent order accounts in 1998.

        The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural
    Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended--under certain conditions--
    to issue Federal milk marketing orders establishing minimum prices which
    handlers are required to pay for milk purchased from producers. The
    Secretary has reduced the number of milk marketing orders from 31 to 11,
    consistent with the 1996 Farm Bill authorities.

        Market administrators are appointed by the Secretary and are
    responsible for carrying out the terms of specific marketing orders.
    Their operating expenses, partly financed by assessments on regulated
    handlers and partly by deductions from producers, are reported in these
    schedules. These funds are collected locally, deposited in local banks,
    and disbursed directly by the market administrator.

        Expenses of local offices are met from an administrative fund and a
    marketing service fund, which are prescribed in each order. The
    administrative fund is derived from prorated handler assessments. The
    marketing service fund of the individual order disseminates market
    information to producers who are not members of a qualified cooperative.
    It also provides for the verification of the weights, sampling, and
    testing of milk from these producers. The cost of these services is
    borne by such producers.

        The maximum rates for administrative assessment and for marketing
    services are set forth in each order and adjustments below these rates
    are made from time to time upon recommendations by the market
    administrator and upon approval of the Agricultural Marketing Service to
    provide reserves at about a 6-month operating level. Upon termination of
    any order, the statute provides for distributing the proceeds from net
    assets pro rata to contributing handlers or producers, as the case may
    be.

        This appropriation finances the administrative and operating
    expenses of the Risk Management Agency (RMA), which provides crop
    insurance to farmers. The 2001 budget includes an additional $1 million
    to support the President's Bioproducts Initiative. This funding will
    allow RMA to begin the process of research, analysis, and the
    development of biobased crop insurance policies, such as switch grass.

        The Federal government reimburses private insurance companies for
    certain administrative expenses incurred while delivering the crop
    insurance program. In 1998, discretionary funding was provided for the
    reimbursement of agents' sales commissions in accordance with the
    Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994. The Agricultural Research,
    Extension and Education Reform Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-185), provides
    mandatory funding for the reimbursement of administrative expenses to
    private insurance companies for delivering crop insurance for the 1999
    and subsequent crop years.

        The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC), a wholly-owned
    government corporation, provides multi-peril and catastrophic crop
    insurance protection against losses from unavoidable natural events. The
    Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (Reform Act) and the Federal
    Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act) brought many
    changes to the program. With the reduced price support activities
    promulgated by the 1996 Act, the crop insurance program is an integral
    part of the broad-based safety net and includes programs involving
    revenue insurance, and education in the use of futures markets to manage
    risks.

        Under the 1996 Act, farmers are no longer required to obtain
    Catastrophic Crop insurance (CAT), as previously mandated by the Reform
    Act. Producers can instead agree in writing to waive eligibility for
    emergency crop loss assistance in connection with the crop. However, the
    2000 Appropriation Act required uninsured producers who elected to
    receive the emergency crop loss payments provided by the Act to enroll
    in crop insurance for the subsequent two crop years. For producers who
    continue to obtain CAT, which compensates the farmer for losses up to 50
    percent of the individual's average yield at 55 percent of the expected
    market price, premium is entirely subsidized. The cost to the producer
    for this type of coverage is an annual administrative fee of $60 per
    crop per county. Commercial insurance companies deliver the product to
    the producer in all states.

        Additional coverage is available to producers who wish to insure
    crops above the 50 percent coverage level/55 percent price level.
    Policyholders can elect to be paid up to 100 percent of the market price
    established by FCIC for each unit of production their actual yield is
    less than the individual yield guarantee. Premium rates for additional
    coverage depend on the level of coverage of protection selected and vary
    from crop to crop and county to county. Producers are assessed a fee of
    $20 per crop (may be $60 in some cases of limited coverage), in addition
    to a share of premium. The additional levels of insurance coverage are
    more attractive to farmers due to availability of optional units, other
    policy provisions not available with CAT coverage, and the ability to
    obtain a level of protection that permits them to use crop insurance as
    loan collateral and to achieve greater financial security.

        As mandated by the 1996 Act, revenue insurance programs are
    available under which producers of wheat, certain feed grains, soybeans,
    rice, and cotton are protected against loss of revenue stemming from low
    prices, poor yields, or a combination of both. Two of the revenue
    insurance plans were privately developed and submitted to FCIC: Crop
    Revenue Coverage (CRC) and Revenue Assurance (RA). The Income Protection
    (IP) plan was developed by FCIC. These three plans have many similar
    features and some very distinctive features. All provide a guaranteed
    revenue by combining coverage on both yield and price variability. CRC
    and RA also provide protection against price increases at the time of
    harvest from an initial price guarantee established near the time of
    planting. Indemnities are due when any combination of yield and price
    result in revenue that is less than the revenue guarantee. Revenue
    protection for all products is provided by extending traditional multi-
    peril crop insurance protection, based on actual production history, to
    include price variability. The price component common to CRC, RA, and IP
    uses the commodity futures market for price discovery. These programs
    all seek to help ensure a certain level of annual income and are offered
    through private insurance companies. For 1999, a Group Risk Income
    Protection plan was developed

    [[Page 93]]

    by the private sector to provide protection against decline in county
    revenue, based on futures market prices and NASS county average yields,
    as adjusted by FCIC. FCIC is also piloting an Adjusted Gross Revenue
    (AGR) program, which is designed to insure a portion of a producers
    gross revenue based on their Schedule F Farm and Income Tax reports.

        RMA plans to roll out Round II of the Dairy Options Pilot Program
    (DOPP) during 2000 which includes reaching producers in 61 counties in
    32 states. RMA's partners in the program are registered commodities
    brokers who are authorized by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
    to buy put options on behalf of DOPP participants on the Chicago
    Mercantile Exchange and the New York Board of Trade.

        RMA also continues to improve and update the terms and conditions of
    all crop insurance policies, which better clarifies and defines the
    insurance protection provided by the insurance policies and the duties
    and responsibilities of the policyholder and insurance provider.

        In crop year 1999, 196.2 million acres were insured, with an
    estimated $2,322 million in total premium income, including $952 million
    in premium subsidy.

        The Corporation's budget is presented in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    (FASB) Statement No. 60, ``Accounting and Reporting by Insurance
    Enterprises,'' and Statement No. 5, ``Accounting for Contingencies.''

    planned for 2001. Amounts in the 1999 column are as of September 30,

    Insurance Act, as amended, to use funds from the issuance of capital
    stock which provides working capital for the Corporation.

        Receipts, which are for deposit to this fund, come mainly from
    premiums paid by farmers. The principal payments from this fund are for
    indemnities to insured farmers, and administrative expenses for approved
    insurance providers.

        Premium subsidies are authorized by section 508(b) of the Federal
    Crop Insurance Act, as amended, and are received through appropriations.

        As part of a comprehensive package to strengthen the farm safety
    net, the Administration is proposing crop insurance reform in 2001. The
    proposal would continue, for the 2001 crop year, the crop insurance
    premium discounts which were offered for the 1999 and 2000 crop years.
    In addition, the proposal calls for the establishment of multi-year loss
    coverage which would provide an insurance plan to protect producers in
    cases of consecutive crop years' losses. The Administration's reform
    proposal will also include provisions to provide risk management
    education, conduct more research and development, conduct a pilot
    program for insuring livestock, and remove the area-wide trigger
    requirement for non-insured payment assistance.

        The Farm Service Agency (FSA) was established October 3, 1994,
    pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of
    Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, P.L. 103-354. The Department of
    Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 was amended on April 4, 1996, by
    the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act),
    P.L. 104-127. The FSA administers a variety of activities, such as farm
    income support programs through various loans and payments; the
    Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); the Emergency Conservation Program;
    the Hazardous Waste Management Program; the Commodity Operation Programs
    including the warehouse examination function; farm ownership, farm
    operating, emergency disaster, and other loan programs; price support
    and production control programs for to

    [[Page 95]]

    bacco and peanuts; and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program
    (NAP), which provides crop loss protection for growers of many crops for
    which crop insurance is not available. The Agency also assists in the
    administration of several conservation cost-share programs financed by
    the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), including the Environmental
    Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). In addition, FSA currently provides
    certain administrative support services to the Foreign Agricultural
    Service (FAS) and to the Risk Management Agency (RMA).

         This consolidated administrative expenses account includes funds to
    cover expenses of programs administered by, and functions assigned to,
    the Agency. The funds consist of a direct appropriation, transfers from
    program loan accounts under credit reform procedures, user fees, and
    advances and reimbursements from other sources. This is a consolidated
    account for administrative expenses of national, regional, State, and
    county offices. Currently, the majority of FSA county office employees
    are not Federal employees, although their salaries and benefits are
    fully paid through Federal funds appropriated to this account. The
    Administration is proposing legislation to make all FSA employees
    Federal employees.

        Farm Programs.--These programs provide an economic safety net
    through farm income support to eligible producers, cooperatives, and
    associations to help improve the economic stability and viability of the
    agricultural sector and to ensure the production of an adequate and
    reasonably priced supply of food and fiber. Objectives of the Agency
    include maintaining a high Agricultural Market Transition Act (AMTA)
    participation rate for eligible acreage, providing marketing assistance
    loans and loan deficiency payments enabling recipients to continue
    farming operations without marketing their product immediately after
    harvest, stabilizing the price and production of tobacco and peanuts,
    and providing a financial assistance safety net to eligible producers
    when natural disasters result in a catastrophic loss of production or
    prevents planting of noninsured crops, and timely designating eligible
    Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) areas and approving
    crop prices, average yields, and payment factors.

        Farm program activities include the following functions dealing with
    the administration of programs carried out through the farmer committee
    system of the FSA: (a) developing program regulations and procedures;
    (b) collecting and compiling basic data for individual farms; (c)
    establishing individual farm allotments for tobacco and peanuts and farm
    planting history; (d) notifying producers of established allotments and
    farm planting histories; (e) determining farm marketing quotas for
    tobacco and peanuts; (f) conducting referendums and certifying results;
    (g) accepting farmer certifications and checking compliance for specific
    purposes; (h) issuing marketing cards so that production from the
    allotted acreage can be marketed without penalty; (i) processing
    commodity loan documents and issuing checks; (j) processing production
    flexibility contract payments and market loss assistance payments and
    issuing checks; (k) certifying payment eligibility and monitoring
    payment limitations; and (l) processing farm storage facility loans and
    issuing checks.

        Conservation and Environment.--These programs assist agricultural
    producers and landowners in achieving a high level of stewardship of
    soil, water, air, and wildlife resources on America's farmland and
    ranches while protecting the human and natural environment. Objectives
    of the Agency include improving environmental quality, protecting
    natural re- sources, and enhancing habitat for fish and wildlife,
    including threatened and endangered species, providing Emergency
    Conservation Program funding for farmers and ranchers to rehabilitate
    damaged farmland and for carrying out emergency conservation measures
    during periods of severe drought or flooding protecting the public
    health of communities through implementation of the Hazardous Waste
    Management Program, assisting NRCS with EQIP program policy and
    procedure development, and implementing administrative processes and
    procedures for contracting, financial reporting, and other financial
    operations. This activity includes: (a) processing producer requests for
    conservation cost-sharing and issuing conservation reserve rental
    payments; and (b) issuing checks for other conservation programs.

        Commodity Operations.--This activity includes: (a) overall
    management of CCC-owned commodities; (b) purchasing commodities; (c)
    donating commodities; (d) selling commodities; (e) accounting for loans
    and commodities; and (f) commercial warehouse activities, which include
    improving the effectiveness and efficiency of FSA's commodity
    acquisition, procurement, storage, and distribution activities to
    support domestic and international food assistance programs and
    administering the U.S. Warehouse Act (USWA). The Agency provides for the
    examination of warehouses licensed under the U.S. Warehouse Act and non-
    licensed warehouses storing CCC-owned or pledged commodities. Examiners
    perform periodic examinations of the facilities and the warehouse
    records to ensure protection of depositors against potential losses of
    the stored commodities and to ensure compliance with the U.S. Warehouse
    Act and any CCC storage agreements.

        Farm Loans (Reimbursable).--Provides for administering the direct
    and guaranteed loan programs covered under the Agricultural Credit
    Insurance Fund (ACIF). Objectives of the Agency include improving the

        This grant program is authorized by Title V of the Agricultural
    Credit Act of 1987, P.L. 100-233, as amended. Originally designed to
    address agricultural credit disputes, the program was expanded by the
    Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture
    Reorganization Act of 1994 (P.L. 103-354) to include other agricultural
    issues such as wetland determinations, conservation compliance, rural
    water loan programs, grazing on National Forest System lands, and
    pesticide use. Grants are made to States whose agricultural mediation
    programs have been certified by the Farm Service Agency. A grant will
    not exceed 70 percent of the total fiscal year funds that a qualifying
    State requires to operate and administer its agricultural loan mediation
    program. In no case will the total amount of a grant exceed $500,000
    annually.

        Funding for the Tree Assistance Program (TAP) was provided by the
    1998 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, P.L. 105-174, enacted
    May 1, 1998. The $14 million appropriation was made available for
    obligation through September 30, 1998, with any unobligated funding
    expiring. However, the 1999 Appropriations Act, P.L. 105-277, Section
    757 of the General Provisions, authorized the use of unobligated 1998
    TAP funds for losses due to disasters that occurred between May 1 and
    August 1, 1998. Eligibility for these funds was also extended to
    producers whose trees were lost or destroyed by May 31, 1999, as a
    direct result of fire blight infestation (a destructive disease caused
    by bacteria) that was caused by a natural disaster. This funding was
    available for obligation through September 30, 1999, with any
    unobligated balance expiring.

        TAP provided cost-share payments of up to 100 percent to orchard and
    vineyard growers who replanted or rehabilitated orchard trees and
    vineyards lost to damaging weather, including freezes, excessive
    rainfalls, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and earthquakes. Eligible owners
    may not receive more than $25,000 per person.

        During 1999, $2 million was obligated in Michigan, and the remaining
    unobligated balance of $1 million expired.

        The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was originally mandated by
    the Food Security Act of 1985. The Federal Agriculture Improvement and
    Reform Act of 1996 (the 1996 Act), enacted April 4, 1996, retains the
    CRP as part of the Environmental Conservation Acreage Reserve Program
    (ECARP) but changed the funding source from direct appropriation to the
    Commodity Credit Corporation. Only very minimal CCC funds were used for
    program operations in 1996 since annual rental payments had been made
    very early in the fiscal year using CRP appropriated funds.

        In 1999, annual rental and cost-share payments for acres enrolled in
    the program were paid through the Commodity Credit Corporation.
    Remaining unobligated funds from the fiscal year 1996 appropriated
    account have been used for CRP technical assistance and were nearly
    exhausted in 1999. Less than $1 million remained at year end. In
    providing technical assistance, the Natural Resources Conservation
    Service (NRCS) determines eligibility, develops conservation plans, and
    helps install approved practices. The Forest Service (FS) and
    cooperating State forestry agencies develop plans for tree planting and
    assist in carrying them out. The Cooperative State Research, Education,
    and Extension Service provides information and educational assistance to
    inform landowners and operators about the program. Local soil and water
    conservation districts approve conservation plans. To ensure maximum
    program benefits, USDA consults with land grant universities, State soil
    and water agencies, State fish and wildlife agencies, the U.S. Fish and
    Wildlife Services, and others. In fiscal year 1999, $21 million was
    obligated for the technical assistance services of NRCS and FS and
    outlays of $53 million in CRP appropriated funds were made to NRCS and
    FS.

        CRP program payments are included under the Commodity Credit
    Corporation account.

        This program was terminated at the beginning of 1997 in accordance
    with the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996. The
    objectives of the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP) were
    incorporated into the Environmental Quality Incentives Program which is
    funded by the Commodity Credit Corporation and administered under the
    lead of the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

        The primary objectives of the program were to conserve soil and
    water resources. Along with annual agreements, cost sharing was
    authorized for long-term agreements of 3-10 years. At the end of 1999,
    there were $25 million in unliquidated obligations for ACP agreements.

        This program was authorized by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978
    (16 U.S.C. 2201-05). It provides funds for sharing the cost of emergency
    measures to deal with cases of severe damage to farmlands and rangelands
    resulting from natural disasters.

        For 1999, pursuant to P.L. 106-31, enacted May 21, 1999, $28 million
    in supplemental funding was provided to the Emergency Conservation
    Program, to remain available until expended. Under the 1999 program,
    cost-sharing and technical assistance were provided in 42 States as well
    as the Virgin Islands to treat farmlands damaged by floods, hurricanes,
    drought, ice storms, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. The 1999
    program rehabilitated approximately 4,889,922 acres of farmland damaged
    by these natural disasters.

        No funding was provided in the 2000 Agriculture Appropriations Act
    for this program. However, $50 million in supplemental funding was
    provided by title I of the 2000 Consoli

        The Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund Program Account's loans are
    authorized by title III of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development
    Act, as amended.

        This program account includes subsidies to provide direct and
    guaranteed loans for farm ownership, farm operating, and emergency loans
    to individuals. Indian tribes and tribal corporations are eligible for
    Indian land acquisition loans.

        Additional funding was provided by a 1999 supplemental
    appropriation, P.L. 106-31, for direct and guaranteed farm ownership,
    direct and guaranteed operating, and emergency disaster loans. Funding
    is available until September 30, 2000.

        Additional funding was also provided by a 2000 supplemental
    appropriation, P.L. 106-113, for direct and guaranteed farm ownership,
    direct and guaranteed operating, and emergency disaster loans. Funding
    is available until expended.

        For 2001, legislation will be proposed to expand eligibility for
    emergency disaster loans to agricultural-related enterprises that are
    currently ineligible for either USDA or Small Business Administration
    disaster loans. Interest rates on these loans will be above those
    charged for family-sized farms.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond
    (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative
    expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
    value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

        Under the Dairy Indemnity Program (DIP), payments are made to
    farmers and manufacturers of dairy products who are directed to remove
    their milk or milk products from commercial markets because they contain
    residues of chemicals that have been registered and approved by the
    Federal Government, other chemicals, nuclear radiation, or nuclear
    fallout. Indemnification may also be paid for cows producing such milk.

        In 2000, an estimated $650 thousand will be paid to producers and
    manufacturers who file claims under the program.

        The 2001 budget requests $450 thousand for this program.

        The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) was created to: stabilize,
    support, and protect farm income and prices; help maintain balanced and
    adequate supplies of agricultural commodities, their products, foods,
    feeds, and fibers; and help in their orderly distribution.

        The Corporation's capital stock of $100 million is held by the U.S.
    Treasury. Under present law, up to $30 billion may be borrowed from the
    U.S. Treasury to finance operations.

        Current, indefinite appropriation authority is requested to cover
    all net realized losses. Appropriations to the Corporation for net
    realized losses have no effect on budget authority, as they are used to
    repay debt directly with the Treasury.

        Budget assumptions.--The following general assumptions form the
    basis for the Corporation's 2000 and 2001 budget estimates: (a) national
    income will rise both in 2000 and 2001 from the present level; (b) 2000
    crop production will decrease from 1999 crop levels for some
    commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2001
    are expected to be higher than 2000 levels; (d) yields for the 2000
    crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trend; (e) acreage
    allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect for the 2000 crops of
    certain kinds of tobacco; and (f) poundage quotas will be in effect for
    the 2000 crop of peanuts. Marketing loan rates for the 2000 crop are
    assumed to equal rates for the 1999 crop.

        It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the year
    ending September 30, 2001, since the projections are subject to complex
    and unpredictable factors such as weather, other factors which affect
    the volume of production of crops not yet planted, feed and food needs
    here and overseas, and available dollar exchange.

        The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (the 1996
    Act) enacted April 4, 1996, retains the CRP as part of the Environmental
    Conservation Acreage Reserve Program (ECARP) but changed the funding
    source from direct appropriation to the Commodity Credit Corporation.
    The CRP is assumed to be gradually increased to 36.4 million acres by
    2002. CRP is USDA's largest conservation/environmental program. The
    purpose of CRP, administered by FSA, is to cost-effectively assist farm
    owners and operators in conserving and improving soil, water, air, and
    wildlife resources by converting highly erodible and other
    environmentally sensitive acreage normally devoted to the production of
    agricultural commodities to a long-term resource-conserving cover. CRP
    participants enroll contracts for periods from 10 to 15 years in
    exchange for annual rental payments and cost-share and technical
    assistance for installing approved conservation practices.

        A general CRP signup was held (signup 18) October 26 through
    December 11, 1998. Of the 7.1 million acres offered, a total of 5
    million acres were approved for enrollment beginning in fiscal year
    2000. The national average annual rental payment for this acreage is
    estimated to be about $46 per acre. Technical assistance for this signup
    was funded with unobligated and appropriated funds. Rental payments for
    signup 18 begin in fiscal year 2001.

        The general CRP signup, signup 20, will be held from January 18
    through February 11, 2000. It is assumed for budgeting purposes that
    approximately 1.8 million acres, of the 5 million acres offered, will be
    accepted in the program beginning with the 2001 program year.
    Conservation Reserve Program acreage also contributes to the USDA
    Conservation Buffer Initiative and the Conservation Reserve Enhancement
    Program and to other purposes which are estimated to enroll 4.2 million
    acres through 2002.

        As part of the Administration's farm safety net proposal, the Budget
    proposes to increase the CRP enrollment cap by almost $4 million acres
    to 40 million. Also, the Administration will offer bonuses totaling up
    to $100 million in FY 2000 and up to $125 million annually in FY 2001-
    2002 to producers who enroll land in CRP through the continuous sign up.

        These assumptions have been developed for budget purposes as the
    best estimate of acreage bid into the program that will be both eligible
    and of high environmental quality. As such, the estimate may not reflect
    the actual acreage selected for Signup 20. USDA's goal is that lands
    selected for the CRP will only be those lands where the benefits to the
    Nation of retirement are greater than the benefits of continued
    production.

        Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for net
    realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations:

        Price support, marketing assistance loans, and related stabilization
    programs.--The Corporation conducts programs to support farm income and
    prices and stabilize the market for

    [[Page 105]]

    agricultural commodities. Price support is provided to producers of
    agricultural commodities through loans, purchases, payments, and other
    means. This is done mainly under the Commodity Credit Corporation
    Charter Act, as amended, the Agricultural Act of 1949 (the 1949 Act), as
    amended, and the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996
    (the 1996 Act).

        Price support is mandatory for tobacco, peanuts, and dairy products.
    Marketing assistance loans are mandatory for wheat, feed grains,
    oilseeds, upland cotton, and rice. Loans are also required to be made
    for sugar and extra long staple cotton.

        One method of providing support is loans to and purchases from
    producers. With limited exceptions, loans made on commodities are
    nonrecourse. The commodities serve as collateral for the loan and on
    maturity the producer may deliver or forfeit such collateral to satisfy
    the loan obligation without further payment.

        Direct purchases may be made from processors as well as producers,
    depending on the commodity involved. Also, special purchases are made
    under various laws for the removal of surpluses; for example, the Act of
    August 19, 1958, as amended, and section 416 of the Agricultural Act of
    1949, as amended.

        Production flexibility contract payments.--The 1996 Act requires
    that the Corporation offer eligible producers a one-time opportunity to
    execute 7-year production flexibility contracts. Production flexibility
    contract participants who comply with applicable provisions receive
    annual payments beginning in 1996 and ending in 2002. Participants
    received a 50-percent advance payment for the 1996 crop within 30 days
    after contract approval. The balance of the 1996 payment was issued by
    September 30, 1996. In subsequent years, participants will receive final
    payments by September 30, with an option to receive advances on December
    15 or January 15. For fiscal years 2001 through 2002, producers may
    choose to receive fiscal year production flexibility contract payments
    as two 50 percent payments or one 100 percent payment at any time during
    the fiscal year. Depending on each contract participant's prior
    contract-crop acreage history and payment yield, as well as total
    program participation, the participant shares a portion of a statutorily
    specified, annual dollar amount. In return, participants must comply
    with certain requirements regarding land conservation, wetland
    protection, and agricultural use. Contract crops, for the purposes of
    determining eligible cropland and payments, include wheat, corn, grain
    sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, and rice. No production adjustment
    requirements or related provisions are included in this program, except
    for restrictions on the planting of fruits and vegetables and other
    minor requirements. The one-time enrollment took place between May 1 and
    August 1, 1996; however, producers with Conservation Reserve Program
    (CRP) contracts will have the opportunity to enroll acreage currently in
    the CRP that meets the eligibility requirements for a production
    flexibility contract. These enrollments will occur as CRP contracts
    expire.

        Marketing assessments.--The 1949 Act mandates assessments for
    tobacco, and the 1996 Act requires such assessments for peanuts and
    sugar. Tobacco marketing assessments are authorized through crop year
    1998.

        Peanut price support program.--The 1996 Act and the Agricultural
    Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended (the 1938 Act), provide for a peanut
    loan and poundage quota program for the 1996 through 2002 peanut crops.
    The 1996 Act makes the peanut program, effectively, a no-cost program.
    The Secretary is required to provide a nonrefundable per-pound marketing
    assessment equal to 1.15 percent of the national average quota or
    additional peanut loan rate for the applicable 1996 crop and 1.2 percent
    of the national average quota or additional peanut loan rate for each of
    the applicable 1997 through 2002 crops. Assessments will be used to
    offset losses in area quota pools, and any assessments not required to
    cover these losses will be remitted to the Treasury. If the use of all
    other available authority does not produce funds sufficient to cover
    losses in area quota pools, the Secretary must increase the marketing
    assessment by an amount that will cover the losses.

        Sugar Program.--The 1996 Act requires that loans be made available
    to eligible sugar processors for the 1996 through 2002 crops of
    domestically produced sugar beets and sugarcane. The announced Tariff
    Rate Quota (TRQ) determines the type of loan in effect. If the TRQ is
    not above 1,500,000 short tons, raw value, at the time of loan approval
    and has never been above 1,500,000 short tons, raw value, at any time
    during the fiscal year, recourse loans will be in effect. If the TRQ
    exceeds 1,500,000 short tons, raw value, at the time of loan approval or
    has exceeded 1,500,000 short tons, raw value, at any time during the
    fiscal year, nonrecourse loans will be in effect.

        Options Pilot Program.--The 1996 Act authorizes the Secretary to
    utilize CCC, until December 31, 2002, to conduct a pilot program for one
    or more agricultural commodities supported under Title I of the 1996 Act
    to ascertain whether futures and options contracts can reasonably
    protect producers from the financial risks of fluctuations in price,
    yield, and income inherent in the production and marketing of the
    commodities. The pilot program is under the supervision of the
    Administrator of the Risk Management Agency. To the maximum extent
    practicable, the Secretary shall operate the pilot program in a budget
    neutral manner.

        The Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994 expanded current crop
    insurance authorities to provide for catastrophic coverage at 50 percent
    yield protection at a flat fee for crops currently covered by insurance
    programs. Where crop insurance is not available, producers of crops for
    food and fiber and certain other crops will be covered under the
    Noninsured Assistance Program. The Farm Service Agency administers CCC's
    Noninsured Assistance Program. The program will reimburse producers at
    the same rates and terms as the catastrophic program where assistance is
    triggered by area wide disasters.

        Dairy.--The 1996 Act provides for a dairy price support program that
    sets the minimum support price for milk at $10.35 per hundredweight for
    calendar year 1996, $10.20 per hundredweight for calendar year 1997,
    $10.05 per hundredweight for calendar year 1999, and $9.90 per
    hundredweight for calendar year 1999. The 2000 Act extended the price
    support program through calendar year 2000 at the $9.90 per hundred-
    weight support level. In lieu of the price support program, Section 142
    of the 1996 Act establishes a recourse loan program beginning on January
    1, 2000, and continuing through 2002, during which time processors will
    be eligible for recourse loans on dairy products at a milk equivalent
    rate of $9.90 per hundredweight. However, the 2000 Act postponed the
    start of the Dairy Recourse Loan Program until January 1, 2001. The
    program will assist dairy processors in managing their inventories of
    eligible dairy products and assure a greater degree of price stability
    for the dairy industry. The program is a transition between the Dairy
    Price Support Program that has been in effect since 1949 and the dairy
    industry functioning with no Governmental intervention in a global
    economy. Dairy processors acquire their milk from dairy farmers that
    manufacture these eligible dairy products. The program indirectly
    assists dairy farmers similar to the Dairy price Support Program. The
    Food Security Act of 1985, as amended (the 1985 Act), authorizes the
    Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP) through calendar year 2002. The
    DEIP provides subsidies to exporters of U.S. dairy products to help them
    compete with other subsidizing nations.

        Emergency Livestock Feed Assistance.--In calendar year (CY) 1998,
    $200 million in CCC funds were made available for livestock feed
    assistance for producers affected by disasters. An additional $70
    million was authorized by the FY 1999 Emergency Supplemental Act (P.L.
    106-31). The FY 2000 Act allows for not less than $200 million to be
    provided to livestock producers.

        Payment limitations.--The 1996 Act and the Food Security Act of
    1985, as amended, limit the amount of production flexibility contract
    payments during any fiscal year to $40,000 and the sum of marketing
    assistance gains and loan deficiency payments during any crop year to
    $75,000. This limitation has been raised to $150,000 for the 1999 crop
    only.

        Conservation programs.--The Environmental Conservation Acreage
    Reserve Program (ECARP) was re-established by the 1996 Act to begin in
    1996 and continue through 2002. ECARP consists of the Conservation
    Reserve Program (CRP), the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), and the
    Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The 1996 Act amended
    the 1985 Act to require the use of CCC funds for these programs.

        The CRP is authorized in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
    Islands, on all highly erodible cropland, other environmentally
    sensitive cropland, and certain marginal pastureland meeting the
    eligibility criteria. In addition to cropland in areas adjacent to lakes
    and streams that can be devoted to filter strips, and cropland subject
    to overflow and suffering from scour erosion, eligible land may include
    shelterbelts windbreaks cropland contributing to water quality problems,
    and other lands posing environmental threats. Also eligible for the CRP
    are water quality or wildlife habitat impaired areas that do not meet
    the highly erodible land (HEL) criteria, such as the Chesapeake Bay,
    Great Lakes, and Long Island Sound watershed regions.

        The establishment and funding for Conservation Priority Areas (CPA)
    under both EQIP and CRP will be harmonized in a manner to ensure program
    availability is coordinated to best address environmental concerns,
    keeping in mind the varied and diverse purposes for which the CRP and
    EQIP are authorized.

        The EQIP combines the functions of the former Agricultural
    Conservation Program (ACP), the Water Quality Incentives Program (WQIP),
    the Great Plains Conservation Program (GPCP), and the Colorado River
    Basin Salinity Control Program (CRSC). The 1996 Act provided that EQIP
    would be phased in over a 6-month interim period, ending not later than
    October 4, 1996. CCC funding of $130 million was provided for the
    interim 1996 program. Thereafter, through fiscal year 2002, $200 million
    in CCC funding must be made available annually for the program. The
    fiscal year 1999 and 2000 programs were limited to $174 million by
    provisions of the FY 1999 and FY 2000 Agriculture Appropriation Acts,
    but will return to the statutory level of $200 million in FY 2001 and
    2002. As part of the Administration's farm safety net proposal, the
    Budget provides an additional $125 million over authorized levels, for a
    program total of $325 million. Beginning in FY 2001, comprehensive
    nutrient management plans will be required of all EQIP participants with
    livestock-or animal waste management-related contracts.

        The Farmland Protection Program (FPP) authorizes the Secretary to
    assist State, local, and tribal governments in purchasing conservation
    easements. The Secretary was authorized to use $35 million in CCC funds
    to carry out the program. These funds were exhausted in 1998. The FY
    2000 Appropriations Act provided $250,000 for the use in the state of
    New Hampshire. In support of the farm safety net proposal, $65 million
    is proposed for FY 2001.

        The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) makes available
    assistance to help landowners improve wildlife habitat on private lands.
    A total of $50 million in CRP funds were made available for fiscal years
    1996 through 2002 for this program. These funds were exhausted in 1999.
    $50 million is provided for FY 2001 as part of the farm safety net.

        The Conservation Farm Option Program (CFO) is a pilot program for
    producers of wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, and rice who are
    eligible for production flexibility contracts. Under this program,
    producers may consolidate their production flexibility contract, CRP,
    WRP, and EQIP payments into one annual payment if they enter into a 10-
    year contract and adopt an approved conservation farm plan. CCC must
    make available the following funding for the CFO: $15 million in fiscal
    year 1999, $25 million in fiscal year 1999, $37.5 million in fiscal year
    2000, $50 million in fiscal year 2001, and $62.5 million in fiscal year
    2002. Total authorized funding is $197.5 million. However, no
    obligations have been incurred in fiscal years 1997-1999. The 1999 and
    2000 Appropriations Acts precluded operations of the CFO in 1999 and
    2000. In 2001, savings in the CFO are proposed to offset other
    conservation program initiatives.

        The primary objectives of the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) are to
    restore and protect wetlands, improve wildlife habitat, and protect
    mirgratory waterfowl. This program offers landowners an opportunity to
    establish long-term conservation and wildlife practices and protection
    beyond that which can be obtained through other USDA programs. The
    Secretary of Agriculture, through NRCS field offices, uses program funds
    to acquire permanent or 30-year easements or to enter into 10-year
    restoration cost-share agreements. For easements, participants receive
    compensation in an amount not to exceed the agricultural fair market
    value of the land being offered. In addition, they receive cost-share
    assistance in amounts up to 75 percent for 30-year easements and 100
    percent for permanent easements for establishing required wetlands
    restoration and wildlife practices. CCC pays for all the overhead costs
    associated with recording the easement in the local land records office
    including recording fees, charges for abstracts, surveys, appraisal
    fees, and title insurance associated with acquiring an easement. For
    restoration cost-share agreements, participants receive up to 75 percent
    of the cost of establishing required practices. Other agencies and
    private organizations may provide additional assistance for easement
    payments and restoration costs as a way to leverage program funds and
    achieve greater program benefits.

        Under current law, WRP is authorized to enroll 975,000 cumulative
    acres. The FY 2000 Agriculture Appropriations Act allowed WRP to enroll
    150,000 acres, leaving approximately 40,000 acres remaining under the
    cap in FY 2001. As part of the Administration's farm safety net
    proposal, the Budget proposes to enroll an additional 210,000 acres,
    bringing total enrollment in FY 2001 to 250,000 acres.

        Surplus Removal and Other CCC Activities.--Section 5 of the CCC
    Charter Act authorizes CCC to undertake specific actions with respect to
    agricultural commodities. Section 5(d) specifically authorizes CCC to
    remove and dispose of or aid in the removal or disposition of surplus
    agricultural commodities. Pursuant to this authority, CCC will purchase
    5 million metric tons of wheat in the course of 1999 and 2000, which
    will subsequently be used for donation purposes under Section 416(b) of
    the Agricultural Act of 1949. A portion of this initiative is a part of
    the comprehensive U.S. food aid package to Russia, as announced by the
    President in November 1998. An estimated 1,500,000 metric tons shall be
    shipped to Russia during 1999 and 2000. The wheat initiative includes
    purchases of primarily wheat and wheat flour during 1999 and 2000.

        Supply and foreign purchases.--The Corporation can procure from
    domestic and foreign sources food, agricultural com

    [[Page 107]]

    modities, and products and related materials to supply the needs of
    Federal agencies, foreign governments, and private and international
    relief agencies, under section 5 (b) and (c) of the Commodity Credit
    Corporation Charter Act, as amended.

        Commodity exports.--The Corporation promotes the export of
    agricultural commodities and products through sales for dollars or
    foreign currency, payments, extension of credit, assumption of certain
    risks, and conduct of other operations with respect to the exportation
    of commodities. Such commodities and products may be those held in
    private trade channels as well as those acquired by the Corporation.
    These programs are carried out under the authority of the CCC Charter
    Act and other specific legislation.

        Foreign donations.--The Corporation may furnish commodities under
    the authority of section 416(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949 to carry
    out programs of assistance in developing countries and friendly
    countries and pay costs associated with making the commodities
    available. The Corporation may also use its funds to furnish commodities
    overseas under the authority of the Food for Progress Act of 1985;
    however, not more than 500,000 metric tons of commodities may be
    provided under this authority in each fiscal year, and not more than $30
    million of the funds of the Corporation (exclusive of the costs of
    commodities) may be used for each fiscal year. In addition, under the
    Food for Progress Act of 1985, not to exceed $10 million of the
    Corporation's funds or commodities may be used each fiscal year to
    enhance the development of private sector agriculture in countries
    receiving commodities under the Food for Progress Act of 1985. Section
    1125 of the FY 1999 Agriculture Appropriations Act increased the $30
    million and $10 million limitations to $35 million and $15 million,
    respectively, for fiscal year 1999 only.

    operations of the Corporation:

        Operating expenses.--The Corporation carries out its functions
    through utilization of employees and facilities of other Government
    agencies. Administrative expenses are incurred by: the Farm Service
    Agency (FSA); the Foreign Agricultural Service; the Natural Resources
    Conservation Service; the Risk Management Agency; other agencies of the
    Department engaged in the Corporation's activities; and the Office of
    the Inspector General for audit functions. Additional expenses are
    incurred by FSA county offices for work related to programs of the
    Corporation, other FSA expenses offset by revenue, custodian, and agency
    expenses of the Federal Reserve banks and lending agencies, and
    miscellaneous costs.

        Expenses are incurred for acquisition, operation, maintenance,
    improvement, or disposition of existing property that the Corporation
    owns or in which it has an interest. These expenses are treated as
    program expenses. Such program expenses include inspection, classing,
    and grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or
    Federal- or State-licensed inspectors; and special services performed by
    Federal agencies within and outside this Department. Most of these
    general expenses, including storage and handling, transportation,
    inspection, classing and grading, and producer storage payments, are
    included in program costs. They are shown in the program and financing
    schedule in the entries entitled ``Storage, transportation, and other
    obligations not included above,'' and ``Producer storage payments.''

        Section 161 of the 1996 Act amended the CCC Charter Act to
    significantly limit the use of CCC funds. CCC no longer has authority to
    purchase personal property except within authorized limitations. CCC
    spending for equipment or services relating to automated data processing
    (ADP), information technologies, or related items (including
    telecommunications equipment and computer hardware and software, but
    excluding reimbursable agreements) was limited to $170 million in fiscal
    year 1996, and $275 million for the six-year period including fiscal
    years 1997 through 2002, unless additional amounts for such contracts
    and agreements are provided in advance in appropriation acts. The 1996
    Act also requires that CCC submit an itemized report to Congress on a
    quarterly basis of all expenditures, excluding program payments, of over
    $10,000. Subsequent legislation reduced allowable ADP expenditures
    through 2002 to $188 million. The remain

    ing funds are expected to be exhausted during 2000, and the Budget
    proposes to fund $35 million per year through 2002 on these expenditures
    through CCC.

        Section 161 of the 1996 Act also amended section 11 of the CCC
    Charter Act to limit the use of CCC funds for the transfer and allotment
    of funds to State and Federal agencies. Beginning on October 1, 1996,
    the total of these allotments and transfers under that section in a
    fiscal year, including agreements for ADP or information resource
    management activities, may not exceed the total of such alloments and
    transfers in fiscal year 1995. The obligations for these Section 11
    activities in fiscal year 1995 were $46.188 million. The fiscal year
    1995 cap was revised to $36.209 million effective fiscal year 1999 to
    exclude the Emerging Markets Program because such transfers are not made
    pursuant to Section 11 of the CCC Charter Act.

        The Corporation receives reimbursement for grain requisitioned
    pursuant to Public Law 87-152 by the States from Corporation stocks to
    feed resident wildlife threatened with starvation through the
    appropriation reimbursement for net realized losses. There have been no
    requisitions in recent years, however.

                               special activities

        These activities are carried out under authority of section 5(g) of
    the Corporation's charter act and specific statutory authorizations or
    directives with respect thereto that are currently in effect or which
    may subsequently be enacted.

        A summary of such current activities not included under other
    designated activities is as follows:

    cost of these activities as described under each.

        Activities currently being carried out are as follows (see Foreign
    Assistance programs for details of items (1), (2) and (3)).

        (1) Financing the sale and exportation of agricultural commodities

                                    financing

        Borrowing authority.--The Corporation has an authorized capital
    stock of $100 million held by the U.S. Treasury and, effective in 1988,
    authority to have outstanding borrowings up to $30 billion at any one
    time.

        Funds are borrowed from the Treasury and may also be borrowed from
    private lending agencies and others. The Corporation reserves a
    sufficient amount of its borrowing authority to purchase at any time all
    notes and other obligations evidencing loans made to the Corporation by
    such agencies and others. All bonds, notes, debentures, and similar
    obligations issued by the Corporation are subject to approval by the
    Secretary of the Treasury as required by the Act of March 8, 1938.

        Interest on borrowings from the Treasury (and on capital stock) is
    paid at a rate based upon the average interest rate of all outstanding
    marketable obligations (of comparable maturity date) of the United
    States as of the preceding month. Interest is also paid on other notes
    and obligations at a rate prescribed by the Corporation and approved by
    the Secretary of the Treasury.

        The Department of Agriculture and Related Agencies Appropriation
    Act, 1966, made provision for terminating interest after June 30, 1964
    on the portion of the Corporation's borrowings from the Treasury equal
    to the unreimbursed realized losses recorded on the books of the
    Corporation after the end of the fiscal year in which such losses are
    realized.

        Note.--Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other outstanding
    obligations not reflected on this table do not become charges against
    the statutory borrowing authority until they result in borrowings from
    the Treasury.

        Contract authority.--Price support and other programs required by
    statute may result in the Corporation incurring obligations in excess of
    available funds and borrowing authority. Such obligations are liquidated
    from subsequent appropriations and other funds that may become available
    to the Corporation. Any increase in obligations in excess of available
    fund resources is reported as contract authority in the year involved; a
    decrease is reported as the application of appropriations and other
    funds to liquidate the authority.

        Appropriations.--Under section 2 of Public Law 87-155 annual
    appropriations are authorized for each fiscal year to reimburse the
    Corporation for net realized losses incurred as of the close of each
    year.

        The special activities are financed as indicated in the program
    descriptions above. In addition to certain reimbursements from other
    agencies, appropriations are made for foreign assistance programs.

        Deficit.--The net realized losses of the Corporation have previously
    been reimbursed as follows:

        Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMDCP) and Quality
    Samples Program. In FY 2000, funding for the FMSCP shifted from the
    Foreign Agricultural Service annual appropriation to CCC funding.
    Funding FMDCP from CCC is consistent with Section 5(f) of the CCC
    Charter Act which authorizes the use of CCC funds for export promotion
    and overseas market development activities of U.S. agricultural
    products. The FY 2000 program level is $27.5 million.

    [[Page 109]]

    Beginning also in FY 2000, CCC is funding the Quality Samples Program at
    an authorized annual level of $2.5 million. Under this initiative,
    samples of U.S. agricultural products will be provided to foreign
    importers to promote a better understanding and appreciation for the
    high quality of U.S. products.

        Commodity Certificates. Subtitle B of the 2000 Act allows for the
    use of commodity certificates. In making in-kind payments, CCC may (a)
    acquire and use commodities that have been pledged to the Commodity
    Credit Corporation as collateral for loans made by the Corporation;''
    (b) ``use other commodities owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation;''
    and (c) ``redeem negotiable marketing certificates for cash under terms
    and conditions established. Implementation regarding implementation of
    commodity certificates is under consideration.

        Farm Storage Facility Loan Program (FSFL). The FSFL program was
    established by CCC in 1949 to offer low-cost financing to producers for
    the construction or upgrade of on-farm storage facilities. USDA will
    resume this program in FY 2000. Direct loans would finance about $1
    billion worth of farm storage facilities from FY 2000 through 2002. The
    cost to the U.S. government 2002 for the FSFL program would be estimated
    using procedures stipulated by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.

        Ethanol Grain Program. As part of the Farm Safety Net proposal, the
    FY 2001 President's Budget assumes that CCC will make payments under a
    new Ethanol Grain Program to ethanol producers who increase their
    purchase of surplus grain for conversion into fuel ethanol. The program,
    which is authorized by Executive Order 13134, the Agricultural Act of
    1949 as amended by the Food Security Act of 1985 (PL 99-198), and the
    CCC Charter Act, will remove surplus grain from the market and encourage
    ethanol production.

        This schedule reflects the CCC portion of the Administration's
    proposed Farm Safety Net reform. The proposal includes counter-cyclical
    farm income support to provide additional payments through the expected
    enactment of the next farm bill, which would provide producers 92
    percent of their lost farm revenue relative to a rolling five-year
    average. The proposal would also: extend the dairy price-support
    program; provide financing to cooperatives for livestock processing and
    other value-added facilities; and waive certain area triggers for crop
    insurance provided under the Non-insured Assistance Program. (Additional
    crop insurance reforms that are part of the Farm Safety Net proposal can
    be found in the Crop Insurance schedules.)

        The proposal includes a comprehensive conservation initiative. A new
    Conservation Security Program would be funded at $600 million to provide
    annual payments to farmers and ranchers who implement high-value
    conservation practices such as comprehensive nutrient management, low-
    impact grazing practices, windbreaks and grassed waterways. This program
    would be administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The
    Environmental Quality Incentives Program would increase from its
    authorized $200 million to $325 million per year, for farmers and
    ranchers implementing conservation and livestock management practices.
    The Conservation Reserve Program's cumulative enrollment cap would be
    increased from its current 36.4 million acres to 40 million acres.
    Bonuses totaling up to $100 million in FY 2000 and $125 million in FY
    2001 and 2002 would be offered under current authority to producers who
    enroll land in the CRP's continuous signup program for high-value
    acreage such as filter strips and grass waterways. Annual enrollments
    under the Wetlands Reserve Program would increase to 250,000 acres per
    year and the current cumulative enrollment cap of 975,000 acres,
    expected to be reached in FY 2001, would be eliminated.

        In addition, funding for the Farmland Protection Program would be
    provided at $65 million per year. This program, which is also part of
    the President's Lands Legacy Initiative, provides matching funds to
    purchase permanent easements on farmland threatened by urban and
    suburban sprawl. The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program would be funded
    at $50 million annually, to provide cost-share assistance to farmers and
    other landowners for habitat restoration. Both these programs have
    exhausted their authorized funding.

        Associated technical assistance would also be funded through this
    proposal, including a $35 million increase in the cap on CCC-funded ADP
    obligations for FY 2001 and 2002, to compensate for prior-year
    appropriations reductions to the 7-year cap established by the 1996 Farm
    Bill.

        This is the program account for the GSM-102 and GSM-103 CCC Export
    Credit Guarantee Programs. The Export Credit Guarantee Program (GSM-102)
    covers credit terms of up to 3 years. The Intermediate Export Credit
    Guarantee Program (GSM-103) covers longer credit terms of between 3 and
    10 years. Under these programs, CCC does not provide financing, but
    guarantees payments due from foreign banks and buyers. Because payment
    is guaranteed, financial institutions in the United States can offer
    competitive credit terms to foreign banks, usually with interest rates
    based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). If the foreign bank
    fails to make any payment as agreed, the exporter or assignee must
    submit a notice of default to the CCC. A claim for loss must be filed,
    and the CCC will promptly pay claims found to be in good order. CCC
    usually guarantees 98 percent of the principal payment due and interest
    based on a percentage of the one-year Treasury rate.

        A portion of the guarantees made available under the GSM-102 program
    is provided as Supplier Credit Guarantees. Under this activity, CCC
    guarantees a portion of payment due from importers under short-term
    financing (for up to 180 days) that exporters have extended directly to
    the importers for the purchase of U.S. agricultural commodities and
    products. CCC does not provide financing, but guarantees payment due
    from an importer. A substantially smaller portion of the value of
    exports (currently 60 percent) is guaranteed under Supplier Credit
    Guarantees than under regular GSM-102 guarantees where CCC is
    guaranteeing foreign bank obligations.

        A portion of the GSM-102 guarantees is also made available as
    Facilities Guarantees. Under this activity, CCC guarantees export
    financing for capital goods and services to improve handling, marketing,
    processing, storage, or distribution of imported agricultural
    commodities and products.

        The subsidy estimates for the GSM-102 and GSM-103 programs are
    determined in large part by the obligor's sovereign or non-sovereign
    country risk grade. These grades are developed annually by the
    International Credit Risk Assessment System Committee (ICRAS). In
    unusual circumstances, an ICRAS grade for a country may change during
    the fiscal year. The default estimates for GSM guarantees are determined
    in large part by the risk premia assigned for each risk grade.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the credit
    guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of
    credit guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any
    year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy
    amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative
    expenses are estimated on a cash basis. The 2001 budget displays the GSM
    loan guarantee volume and the subsidy level that can be justified by
    forecast economic conditions, the expected supply/demand conditions of
    countries requesting GSM loan guarantees.

        Farm Storage Facility Loan Program. The Farm Storage Facility Loan
    (FSLA) program was established by CCC in 1949. The program was
    authorized in 1948 by the CCC Charter Act. CCC stopped making new loans
    under the FSLA program in 1982 based on studies that revealed that
    producers had sufficient storage for their crops at that time. Recent
    studies reflected that grain elevators currently have insufficient
    capacity to allow farmers to store their grain off the farm at harvest
    when prices are usually at their lowest. Due to this severe shortage of
    available storage, low-cost financing for producers to build or upgrade
    on-farm commodity storage and handling facilities is provided through
    the FSLA program. The program is being implemented in 2000 by CCC under
    Section 504(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. This program
    will provide producers financing with five to ten-year repayment terms
    and low interest rates. The program gives producers greater marketing
    flexibility when farm storage is limited and/or transportation
    difficulties cause storage problems, allows farmers to benefit from new
    marketing and technological advances, and maximizes their returns
    through identity-preserved marketing.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct
    loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments
    in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The
    subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the
    administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

        Technical assistance.--Technical assistance is provided through
    2,955 conservation districts or special districts to land users and
    decisionmakers, including individual landowners and operators, community
    groups, units of government, Indian tribes, and others for the planning
    of conservation programs and installation of needed conservation systems
    on the land, including design, layout, installation, and consultation
    services.

        This account includes $10 million in competitive partnership grants
    as part of the Clean Water Action Plan, to enhance institutional
    capacity for locally-based institutions, including watershed councils,
    conservation districts, and cooperatives. In particular, funds would be
    directed for hiring non-federal watershed coordinators to develop
    watershed partnerships that include all stakeholders, to resolve
    differences and produce and help implement strategic plans to restore
    impaired watersheds. Watersheds would be selected through an inter-
    agency review process; however local entities may receive a preference
    in competing for funding if their States have prepared memoranda of
    understanding (MOU) for coordinating with the Federal government. Up to
    10 percent of available funds may be used for developing MOUs among
    States and Federal agencies. In addition, $3 million is available for
    environmental monitoring and research work related to the Clean Water
    Action Plan.

        In support of the Clean Water Action Plan's Animal Feeding
    Operations (AFOs) Strategy, conservation technical assistance funding
    targeted to AFOs will increase by $54 million over 2000 levels, for a
    total of $110 million in 2001. These funds will help livestock producers
    develop comprehensive nutrient management plans, a cornerstone of the
    strategy.

        In support of the Administration's Livability Initiative, $5 million
    is provided for the Community/Federal Information Partnership. These
    funds will be used to enter into cooperative agreements with state and
    local governments to develop publicly available geospatial data that
    adheres to Federal Geographic Data Commission standards. This data will
    allow states and communities to make more informed land-use planning
    decisions, promoting ``smart growth.''

        Of this program's $15 million in additional climate change funds,
    $12 million would expand soil carbon studies in support of the U.S.
    Global Change Research Program. These projects would provide validated
    soil carbon inventories and assess alternative soil management impacts
    on soil carbon stocks at national, regional, and field levels. In
    cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service, NRCS will field test
    soil carbon prediction and planning tools. An additional $3 million is
    provided as part of the Climate Change Technology Initiative. These
    funds would be used to carry out research pilot projects on AFO and
    livestock management issues and cropland management.

        As part of the Administration's bioproducts initiative, $5 million
    is included to provide grants and technical assistance to farmers who
    market or produce bioenergy or biobased products. These funds would
    expand the economic opportunities available to farmers while promoting
    environmentally-friendly technologies.

        Inventory and monitoring, resource appraisal, and program
    development activities are also funded through this account. Resource
    inventories are conducted to provide soil, water, and related resource
    data for evaluating land-use changes and trends; and for guidance in the
    development and implementation of Federal, State, and local resource
    conservation programs. Resource appraisal and program development
    provides periodic reports to the public and Congress as required by the
    Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977 as amended.

        Soil surveys.--Soil surveys and investigations are made of the
    Nation's soil resources, and NRCS provides interpretations and
    publications that provide physical land facts needed for program
    development, resource conservation planning, installation of planned
    practices, and information for use by other Federal, State, and local
    agencies in making land-use decisions. National leadership is provided
    for digitizing soil surveys in cooperation with States, and other users
    of soil survey data. Legislation requires that ``a substantial portion
    of the survey costs for NRCS are to be reimbursed by survey
    recipients.''

    quality management.

        Operation of plant materials centers.--The selection and evaluation
    of plant materials are made at 26 plant materials centers through field
    trials to determine their suitability for erosion control, conservation,
    and other environmental improvements. Native plant species will be
    preferred and exotic species introductions phased out for this program.

        Under the authorities of Public Law 83-566, watershed planning
    assistance is provided to States and communities to address specific
    resource problems on a watershed scale. The Watershed Surveys and
    Planning funds are used to cooperate with other agencies and the States
    in providing local decision makers with resource data, derived from
    Cooperative River Basin Surveys and Floodplain Management studies, for
    use in decision making. Leveraging program funds by cost-sharing with
    districts or States is strongly encouraged. Watershed plans are
    developed that provide alternatives to reduce the damage from
    floodwater, sediment, nonpoint source pollution, and erosion; conserve,
    develop, and use water resources; and conserve and properly use lands.

        Funding provided to the Watershed Surveys and Planning program will
    be used to address one of the most critical strategic objectives of the
    USDA Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) Strategic Plan:
    ``Restoring healthy watersheds, providing clean and abundant water
    supplies for people and the environment.'' Program activities reflect
    high priority natural resource concerns such as: agriculture-induced
    water quality impacts, wetlands restoration, and flood damage risk
    reduction. All of these activities also support the Clean Water Act and
    the Safe Drinking Water Act.

        In 2001, $2 million is proposed to provide technical assistance to
    communities for disaster mitigation planning.

        These programs provide for cooperative actions between the Federal
    Government and States and their political subdivisions to reduce damage
    from floodwater, sediment, and erosion, for the conservation,
    development, utilization, and disposal of water, and for the
    conservation and proper utilization of land. Funds in Watershed and
    Flood Prevention Operations can be used for either flood prevention
    projects or flood damage rehabilitation efforts, depending upon the
    needs and opportunities. $3 million is proposed to provide technical and
    financial assistance to communities to implement disaster mitigation
    plans.

        Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 534.--The Department
    cooperates with soil conservation districts and other local
    organizations in planning and installing flood prevention improvements
    in 11 watersheds authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944. The
    Federal Government shares the cost of improvements for flood prevention,
    agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife
    development.

        Within the 11 authorized projects, 395 subwatershed areas have been
    identified for planning purposes. Installation progress in these
    subwatersheds is as follows:

        Emergency watershed protection operations.--This program authorizes
    the Secretary of Agriculture to undertake such emergency measures for
    runoff retardation and soil erosion prevention as may be needed to
    safeguard life and property from floods and the products of erosion on
    any watershed whenever natural elements or forces cause a sudden
    impairment of that watershed. An emergency is considered to exist when a
    watershed is suddenly impaired by flood, fire, wind, earthquake, or
    other natural causes and consequently life and property are endangered
    by floodwater, erosion, or sediment discharge. The emergency area need
    not be declared a national disaster area to be eligible for emergency
    watershed protection. Emergency watershed protection is applicable to
    small scale, localized disasters as well as large scale disasters. State
    environmental, natural resource, fish and game, and other agencies
    participate in planning and coordinating emergency work.

        To improve the delivery and defensibility of the program, NRCS is
    currently drafting a programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS)
    to assess various program alternatives. Through the EIS public feedback
    and information gathering process, NRCS ultimately will be able to make
    the program more beneficial to communities and the environment.

        Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 566.--The
    Department provides technical and financial assistance to local
    organizations to install measures for watershed protection, flood
    prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and
    wildlife enhancement. Significant reforms were begun in 1997 to make
    this program environmentally beneficial, with higher investment returns
    to society.

    [[Page 118]]

    High priority P.L. 534 projects are eligible to compete for funding for
    P.L. 566 funding.

        Watershed work plans are prepared by sponsoring local organizations
    with the Department's assistance or through State and local resources.
    After work plans are approved by the Department or Congress (projects
    where the estimated Federal contribution will exceed $5 million require
    congressional approval), financial assistance is provided for specific
    works of improvements. Since 1944, the Federal government has invested
    $8.5 billion to develop a watershed infrastructure through the Small
    Watershed program. This investment yields annual benefits estimated at
    $800 million.

        Included in the funding level is $4 million in subsidy budget
    authority for a new $60 million loan program that will provide loans to
    State, local, and tribal governments to rehabilitate aging PL-534 and
    PL-566 watershed structures. Over the last 50 years, NRCS has
    constructed more than 10,000 dams through these programs. Many of these
    dams, which were built with a 50 year lifespan, have reached or nearly
    reached their life expectancy, and as they age may pose a safety risk to
    the communities that surround them. While NRCS bears no legal
    responsibility for maintaining these structures, the Administration
    wants to work with the communities to address this issue.

        Loans through the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund have been made
    in previous years to the local sponsors in order to fund the local cost
    of Public Law 566 or 534 projects. No funding for these loans is assumed
    in 2001.

    [[Page 119]]

    area plans for resource conservation and development (RC and D).

        Designated RC and D areas are provided technical assistance to help
    States and local units of government prepare plans for resource
    development and economic improvement and to plan and install community-
    related conservation projects. Financial contributions, loans, and other
    Federal assistance may be used to help carry out projects specified in
    RC and D area plans. Program financial resources are focused on the RC
    and D coordinators who assist the local area councils. These
    coordinators help the area councils develop plans and proposals to
    compete for financial assistance from other Federal, State and private
    sources.

        The following tabulation shows the status of RC and D areas
    authorized to receive technical and financial assistance.

        The 1996 Farm Bill combined the authority for this and several other
    conservation programs into the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
    Prior-year account balances are maintained in this account until
    expended.

        This program provides cost-share assistance to participating
    landowners or operators in the Great Plains area in the development and
    installation of long-term conservation plans and practices for their
    land under contracts entered into in prior years. It is a voluntary
    program in 556 designated counties of 10 Great Plains States. Contracts
    with individual landowners range in time from 3 to 10 years.

        As of October 1, 1999, there were 2,294 active contracts on hand.
    Co-landowners or operators finance the entire cost of installing
    recurring management-type practices and pay a specified part of the
    cost-shared practices installed on their land. Program regulations
    provide that cost-share rates offered in any contract shall not exceed
    80 percent of the cost of installing eligible practices within the
    designated county. There is a cost-sharing limitation of $35 thousand
    for any contract.

        No funds are proposed for the Forestry Incentives Program (FIP). The
    FIP was authorized by the Cooperative Forestry Assistance Act of 1978
    (16 U.S.C. 2101). The objectives of the program are to bring private,
    nonindustrial forest land under improved management, to increase timber
    production, to ensure adequate supplies of timber products, and to
    enhance other forest resources. Activities in this program are redundant
    with, and more effectively served through, assistance provided by the
    Forest Service.

        FIP shares up to 65 percent of the cost of tree planting and timber
    stand improvement. The percentage cost-shared depends on the rate set in
    a particular State and county by NRCS, after consulting with the State
    forester. The program is available in designated counties based on a
    Forest Service survey of total eligible private timberland available for
    production of timber products. Technical assistance is provided by
    Forest Service.

        The 1999, program provided funding for 82,172 acres of tree
    planting, and 19,832 acres in timber stand improvements, and 4,505 acres

        The objectives of the Water Bank Program are to conserve water;
    preserve, maintain, and improve the Nation's wetlands; increase
    waterfowl habitat in migratory waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding
    areas in the United States; and secure recreational and environmental
    benefits for the Nation. The program was authorized by the Water Bank
    Act of 1970, as amended by Public Law 96-182, approved January 2, 1980.
    The Water Bank Extension Act of 1994 extends for one year 1985
    agreements entered into under the Water Bank Act of 1970, and due to
    expire on December 31, 1995. Funding for the expiring 1985 Water Bank
    agreements were transferred from the Wetlands Reserve Program 1995
    appropriation to this account as authorized under the Water Bank
    Extension Act of 1994. Congress did not provide funding for this account
    in 2000. For 2001, USDA does not request program funding.

        Under the Water Bank Program, the Secretary of Agriculture, through
    designated county offices, uses program funds to enter into 10-year
    agreements with landowners and operators for the conservation of
    specified wetlands. Provisions exist to renew agreements for additional
    periods, to make annual payments on agreements, and under certain
    conditions to increase payment rates in the fifth year of a contract or
    at the time of renewal. During the period of the agreement, the
    landowner agrees not to drain, burn, fill, or otherwise destroy the
    wetland character of such areas.

        The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program (CRBSC), was
    authorized under section 202(c) of Title II of the Colorado River Basin
    Salinity Control Act, as amended by section 334, subtitle D, Title III
    of the Federal Agriculture Improvement Act of 1996. The FAIR Act,
    combined authority of the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP), Water
    Quality Incentive Program (WQIP), Great Plains Conservation Program
    (GPCP), and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program (CRBSC),
    into the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP). The FAIR Act
    also repealed CRBSC authority, while maintaining program account
    balances until expended.

        Beginning in 1996, EQIP was implemented on an interim program level
    for CRBSC. Program funding in 1999 provided cost-share assistance to
    landowners and others in the Colorado River Basin States to include:
    Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. The program's main objective is to enhance
    the supply and quality of water in the Colorado River for delivery to
    downstream users in the U.S. and Mexico.

        The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is authorized by Section 1237 of
    the Food Security Act of 1985 (P.L. 99-198), as amended by the Food,
    Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990 (P.L. 101-624), the
    Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-66), the Federal
    Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-127). WRP is a
    mandatory Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) program administered by the
    Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). However, the Farm Service
    Agency (FSA), with CCC financial responsibility, handles program
    payments and financial reporting.

        Information displayed in this section represents unobligated
    balances from the non-CCC account in which WRP was funded prior to the
    1996 Farm Bill. All remaining unobligated balances are expected to be
    obligated in 2000. For additional information on WRP, see the Commodity
    Credit Corporation section.

        The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is a voluntary
    program to support and encourage landowners through technical assistance
    and cost share payments to develop and improve fish and wildlife habitat
    on private lands. The 1996 Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform
    Act made available a total of $50 million for WHIP from the Commodity
    Credit Corporation for the years 1996-2002. These funds were exhausted
    in 1999. The conservation initiative portion of the Budget's farm safety
    net proposal includes $50 million in annual direct spending for WHIP.

        NRCS and the participant enter into a cost-share agreement for
    wildlife habitat development. This agreement generally lasts from 5 to
    10 years from the date the agreement is signed. WHIP funds are
    distributed to states based on state wildlife habitat priorities which
    may include: wildlife habitat areas; targeted species and their
    habitats; and specific practices. Partnerships with other entities are
    preferred: WHIP may be implemented in cooperation with other Federal,
    State, or local agencies, conservation districts, or private
    conservation groups. State priorities are developed through a locally
    led process to identify wildlife resource needs and are finalized in
    consultation with the State Technical Committee.

        This experimental Rural Clean Water Program, authorized by Public
    Law 96-108 and Public Law 96-528, was a cooperative endeavor among
    farmers, various USDA agencies, and

    [[Page 122]]

    other organizations to develop and test means of controlling
    agricultural nonpoint source water pollution in rural areas.

        Recommended project areas were developed by local and State
    committees and approved by the Secretary of Agriculture in consultation
    with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Full
    funding was provided in previous appropriations for all approved
    projects. The implementation period for all projects has ended, and no
    additional obligations will be incurred. The final payment is expected
    to be made in 2000. Similar activities will be carried out through the
    mandatory Environmental Quality Incentives Program.

        This program, also known as ``Farms for the Future,'' provides
    guarantees and interest assistance on loans made to State trust funds,
    who in turn finance acquisitions to preserve farmland in selected
    states. No guarantees have been made since 1993.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this non-
    budgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Government
    resulting from guaranteed loans committed in 1992 and beyond. The
    amounts in this account are a means of financing and are not included in
    the budget totals.

        In 2001, a new consolidated Salaries and Expenses account is being
    established to administer all Rural Development programs, including the
    Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the Rural Housing Service (RHS), and the
    Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS). This change will result in a
    more simplified and manageable administration of Salaries and Expenses
    funds and activities for the Rural Development mission area. The
    separate Salaries and Expenses accounts for RUS, RHS, and RBS will be
    deleted and any obligated and unobligated balances available from prior
    years will be transferred to and merged with the Rural Development
    account.

        The program functions of the Rural Development agencies will not be
    affected by this administrative change. The three agencies, which were
    all formed as a result of the Secretary's 1995 reorganization plan, will
    continue to provide outreach and deliver their programs to rural
    customers.

        RUS provides grants, direct loans and loan guarantees to suppliers
    of electric, telecommunications (for general purpose and for distance
    learning/telemedicine), and water and wastewater services in rural
    areas. Through the water and wastewater program, RUS also provides
    technical assistance. The programs are administered in Washington, DC.
    The Rural Development field office staff performs the services related
    to the water and wastewater grant and loan programs. For the electric
    and telecommunication loans, general field representatives visit
    borrowers periodically and maintain liaisons between the borrowers and
    headquarters.

        RHS was formed from the Rural Housing section of the Farmers Home
    Administration and the Community Facilities Division of the Rural
    Development Administration. RHS delivers rural housing and community
    facility programs through a system of State, area, and local offices. In
    1997, the Dedicated Loan Origination and Servicing System (DLOS) was
    implemented to centralize and streamline the servicing activities of the
    agency. This innovation reduced the cost of operating the individual
    housing loan programs.

        RBS includes programs from the former Rural Development
    Administration, rural development programs form the former Rural
    Electrification Administration, and the Agricultural Cooperative
    Service. This agency delivers loan and grant programs, as well as
    technical assistance, to cooperatives and rural businesses.

        This account consolidates under the Rural Community Advancement
    Program (RCAP) funding for the direct and guaranteed water and waste
    disposal loans, water and waste disposal grants, emergency community
    water assistance grants, solid waste management grants, direct and
    guaranteed community facility loans, community facility grants, direct
    and guaranteed business and industry loans, rural business enterprise
    grants, and rural business opportunity grants. This is in accordance
    with the provisions set forth in the Federal Agriculture Improvement and
    Reform Act of 1996, as amended, Public Law 104-127 (the 1996 Act).
    Consolidating funding for these 12 loan and grant programs under RCAP
    provides greater flexibility to tailor financial assistance to applicant
    needs.

        RCAP is composed of the following three funding streams: Rural
    Community Facilities, Rural Utilities, and Rural Business and
    Cooperative Development. For 2001 the Budget proposes the full
    flexibility authorized in the 1996 Act for up to 25 percent of the
    resources in each stream to shift to other streams, in order to respond
    to the unique rural development needs of states and localities. Funds
    for Native American Communities are provided as part of the whole amount
    appropriated for these streams as part of the Native Americans
    Initiative. The funds are allocated to all three funding streams.

        Water and waste disposal loans are authorized under 7 U.S.C. 1926.
    The program provides direct loans to municipalities, counties, special
    purpose districts, certain Indian Tribes, and non-profit corporations to
    develop water and waste disposal systems in rural areas and towns with
    populations of less than 10,000. The program also guarantees water and
    waste disposal loans made by banks and other eligible lenders.

        Water and waste disposal grants are authorized under Section
    306(a)(2) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as
    amended. Grants are authorized to be made to associations, including
    nonprofit corporations, municipalities, counties, public and quasi-
    public agencies, and certain Indian tribes. The grants can be used to
    finance development, storage, treatment, purification, or distribution
    of water or the collection, treatment, or disposal of waste in rural
    areas and cities or towns with populations of less than 10,000. The
    amount of any development grant may not exceed 75 percent of the
    eligible development cost of the project.

        Emergency community water assistance grants are authorized under
    Section 306A of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as
    amended. Grants are made to public bodies and nonprofit organizations
    for construction or extension of water lines, repair or maintenance of
    existing systems, replacement of equipment, and payment of costs to
    correct emergency situations.

        Solid waste management grants are authorized under Section 310B(b)
    of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants
    are made to non-profit organizations to provide regional technical
    assistance to local and regional governments and related agencies for
    the purpose of reducing or eliminating pollution of water resources, and
    for improving the planning and management of solid waste disposal
    facilities.

        Community facility loans and grants are authorized under sections
    306(a)(1) and 306(a)(19) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development
    Act, as amended. Loans are provided to local governments and nonprofit
    organizations for the construction and improvement of community
    facilities providing essential services in rural areas of not more than
    50,000 population, such as hospitals and fire stations. Grants to
    finance early warning radar systems are also proposed, to provide
    communities susceptible to sudden, dangerous weather such as tornadoes
    and flooding, with early warning alarm transmitters.

        Business and industry guaranteed and direct loans are authorized
    under section 310B(a)(1) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development,
    as amended. These loans are made to public, private or cooperative
    organizations, Indian tribes or tribal groups, corporate entities, or
    individuals for the purpose of improving the economic climate in rural
    areas.

        Rural business enterprise grants are authorized under sections
    310B(c) and 310B(f) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act,
    as amended. These grants enable public and nonprofit organizations to
    operate rural economic development projects. In general, these grants
    provide investments in the human and physical resources of rural
    communities. Past projects have enabled rural communities to acquire and
    develop land, create technical assistance programs, encourage small
    business growth and create new jobs.

        Rural Business Opportunity Grants are authorized under section
    306(a)(11)(A) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as
    amended. These grants enable public bodies and private nonprofit
    organizations to provide for technical assistance, training, and
    planning activities that improve economic conditions in rural area.
    Partnership Technical Assistance Grants are proposed to help rural
    communities develop comprehensive strategies for revitalization and to
    better coordinate Federal and other sources of assistance.

        This new account is being requested to consolidate three farm labor
    programs into one account. This consolidation will provide more
    flexibility for distributing rural farm labor housing assistance and
    allows the total assistance being provided specifically to farm laborers
    to be identified in one place. The account consists of direct farm labor
    housing loans, domestic farm labor housing grants, and low-income
    migrant and seasonal farm-worker grants.

        The direct farm labor loan program is authorized under section 514
    and the rural housing for domestic farm labor grant program is
    authorized under section 516 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. The
    loans, grants, and contracts are made to public and private nonprofit
    organizations for low-rent housing and related facilities for domestic
    farm labor. Grants assistance may not exceed 90 percent of the cost of a
    project. Loans and grants may be used for construction of new
    structures, site acquisition and development, rehabilitation of existing
    structures, and purchase of furnishings and equipment for dwellings,
    dining halls, community rooms, and infirmaries.

        The low-income migrant and seasonal farmworkers grants are made to
    public agencies or private organizations with tax exempt status under
    section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, that have
    experience in providing services to low-income migrants and seasonal
    farmworkers. The types of assistance to be provided is determined by the
    Secretary of Agriculture. In FY 1999 $20 million in grants were made to
    assist low-income migrant and seasonal farmworkers in California and
    Florida.

                            Rental Assistance Program

        For rental assistance agreements entered into or renewed pursuant to
    the authority under section 521(a)(2) or agreements entered into in lieu
    of debt forgiveness or payments for eligible households as authorized by
    section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Housing Act of 1949, [$640,000,000]
    $680,000,000; and, in addition, such sums as may be necessary, as
    authorized by section 521(c) of the Act, to liquidate debt incurred
    prior to fiscal year 1992 to carry out the rental assistance program
    under section 521(a)(2) of the Act: Provided, That of this amount, not
    more than $5,900,000 shall be available for debt forgiveness or payments
    for eligible households as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the
    Act, and not to exceed $10,000 per project for advances to nonprofit
    organizations or public agencies to cover direct costs (other than
    purchase price) incurred in purchasing projects pursuant to section
    502(c)(5)(C) of the Act: Provided further, That agreements entered into
    or renewed during fiscal year [2000] 2001 shall be funded for a 5-year
    period, although the life of any such agreement may be extended to fully
    utilize amounts obligated. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and
    Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2000.)

        The rental assistance program is authorized under section 521(a)(2)
    of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and is designed to reduce rents
    paid by very low-income and low-income families living in RHS-financed
    rural rental and farm labor housing projects. Funding under this account
    is provided for renewals of existing rental assistance contracts,
    assistance for newly constructed units financed by the section 515 rural
    rental and cooperative housing program or the 514/516 farm labor housing
    loan and grant programs, and for additional servicing assistance for
    existing projects. Assistance is also provided in lieu of debt
    forgiveness or payments for eligible households to subsidize tenant
    rents in projects purchased by eligible nonprofit organizations or
    public agencies as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Act.

        From 1978 through 1991, the rental assistance program was funded
    under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund. Beginning in 1992, pursuant to
    Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established for this
    program.

        This assistance was authorized by section 7 of the Cooperative
    Forestry Assistance Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2106). Grants are made to
    public bodies to organize, train, and equip local firefighting forces,
    including those of Indian tribes or other Native American groups, to
    prevent, control, and suppress fires threatening human lives, crops,
    livestock, farmsteads or other improvements, pastures, orchards,
    wildlife, rangeland, woodland, and other resources in rural areas.

        In 1997, funding for the Rural Community Fire Protection grant
    program was appropriated to the Rural Housing Assistance Program and
    transferred to this account for administration. In 1998, funding for
    these grants was appropriated to this account. Beginning in 1999,
    funding for this program is requested by the Forest Service.

        Rural housing insurance fund--This fund was established in 1965
    (Public Law 89-117) pursuant to section 517 of title V of the Housing
    Act of 1949, as amended.

        The programs funded through the Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program
    account are: section 502 very low and low to moderate income
    homeownership loans and guarantees; section 504 very low-income housing
    repair loans; section 514 domestic farm labor housing loans; section 515
    rural rental housing loans; section 524 housing site loans, single
    family and multi-family housing credit sales of acquired property, and
    section 538 multi-family housing guarantees. The section 523 self-help
    housing land development loan program is included under this heading
    beginning in 1997. Previously, this loan program was accounted for under
    the separate heading of ``Self-Help Housing Land Development Fund
    Program Account.'' The Budget requests the section 514 domestic farm
    labor housing loans be funded under the new Farm Labor Program Account
    in order to provide flexibility between these loans and the farm labor
    housing grants.

        Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include towns,
    villages, and other places which are not part of an urban area and that
    have a population not in excess of 2,500 inhabitants, or is in excess of
    2,500 but not in excess of 10,000 if rural in character, or has a
    population in excess of 10,000 but not more than 20,000 and is not
    within a standard metropolitan statistical area and has a serious lack
    of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond
    (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative
    expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
    value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

        This proposed legislation would eliminate the provision in the
    Housing Act of 1949 that requires that at least 20 percent of the
    section 538 multi-family housing loans be subsidized through interest
    rate buydowns. In most cases, the tenants this program serves have
    incomes high enough to guarantee sufficient cash flow to borrowers to
    allow them to pay back the loan.

        Proposed legislation would also establish for section 502 guaranteed
    single family housing loans a guarantee fee of 2 percent which lowers
    the subsidy rate of the program and allows the administration to provide
    more loans at less cost to the taxpayer.

        The goal of the Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community (EZ/EC)
    initiative is to revitalize rural communities in a manner that attracts
    private sector investment and thereby provides self-sustaining community
    and economic development. The first two years of the authorized ten-year
    for EZ/EC's designated as part of the second round of this initiative
    was provided through the FY 1999 and 2000 appropriation acts.
    Legislation will be proposed to provide the outyear follow-on funding
    for the five new rural empowerment zones, and 20 new entereprise
    communities as authorized by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, to create
    economic opportunity in the most distressed rural communities. A similar
    proposal is requested for urban zones through the Department of Housing
    and Urban Development.

    [[Page 137]]

        The flexible grant funding is available for a wide variety of
    community and economic development purposes that link human capital
    needs with economic development initiatives. The purposes may include
    revolving loan funds for business capitalization or community
    development, job training and job counseling, infrastructure investment,
    home ownership and home ownership counseling, health care and related
    facilities, child care and administrative costs linked to redevelopment
    efforts.

        Similar to the first round, the second round was a multi-year effort
    based on a comprehensive development plan involving community residents,
    the private sector, the non-profit community and local, State and
    Federal governments. Experience from the initial round of urban and
    rural designations demonstrates significant successes that are
    stimulating billions of dollars in private sector investment, reviving
    communities that had given up hope for economic opportunity and creating
    thousands of jobs, moving people from dependency to active participation
    in the economy. Round two is built on the successes of the initial
    round.

        Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized under
    section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act by
    Public Law 104-127, April 4, 1996. These grants are made available to
    nonprofit corporations and institutions of higher education to fund the
    establishment and operation of centers for rural cooperative
    development. The primary purpose of the centers is the improvement of
    economic conditions of rural areas through the development of new
    cooperatives and improving operations of existing cooperatives. RBS can
    fund up to 75 percent of any project and associated administrative costs
    and requires at least a 25 percent matching share from the applicant
    which must be from non-Federal sources.

        The Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas (ATTRA) program
    was first authorized by the Food Security

    [[Page 138]]

    Act of 1985. The program provides information and technical assistance
    to agricultural producers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices
    that are environmentally friendly and lower production costs.

        Funds are requested for cooperative research agreements to help the
    Rural Development mission area maintain a predictable level of research
    on agricultural and non-agricultural cooperative issues. Also, $2
    million is requested for grants for cooperatives that process and market
    bio-based products. Of this amount, $1 million is for a pilot program
    through the Rural Utilities Service to demonstrate the efficiency of
    bio-mass fuel generation.

        The Federal Agriculture Improvement Act of 1996 established the
    National Sheep Industry Improvement Center to promote activities to
    strengthen and enhance production or marketing of sheep and goat
    products in the United States. The Center may provide loans or grants to
    eligible entities to provide assistance to the industry for
    infrastructure development, business development, production, resource
    development, and market and environmental research. The 1996 Act
    provided up to $20 million in mandatory funding for the establishment
    and operation of the Center and authorized additional discretionary
    funding of $30 million. In 2000, $10 million was granted to an
    intermediary to provide assistance to the sheep and lamb industry. An
    additional $5 million in discretionary funds are requested in 2001 to
    help the domestic lamb industry adjust to foreign competition, as part
    of the President's initiative supporting the domestic lamb industry.

        Rural economic development loans are made for the purpose of
    promoting rural economic development and job creation projects. Loans
    are made to electric and telecommunication borrowers, who in turn
    finance rural development projects in their service areas. Program costs
    are derived from interest earnings on borrowers' ``cushion of credit''
    loan prepayments.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
    loans obligated in 1992 and beyond. The subsidy amounts are estimated on
    a present value basis.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this non-
    budgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Government
    resulting from direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond. The amounts in
    this account are a means of financing and are not included in the budget
    totals. The subsidy cost of these loans is provided through the Rural
    Community Advancement Program. Loans made prior to 1992 are recorded in
    the Rural Development Insurance Fund Liquidating Account.

        The water and waste disposal program makes loans and grants to
    finance water and waste disposal facilities in rural areas.

        The Rural Utilities Service conducts the rural electrification and
    the rural telecommunications loan programs. The rural electrification
    loan program is financed through RUS direct and guaranteed loans for the
    operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution
    lines or systems. The rural telecommunications loan program is financed
    through RUS direct loans for construction, expansion, and operation of
    telecommunications lines and facilities or systems.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, the
    subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and
    beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that
    resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as
    administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are
    estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are
    estimated on a cash basis.

        In 2001, the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) is proposed to become a
    Performance Based Organization to establish its financial and
    operational independence prior to its being privatized within ten years.
    Funding for the RTB's loan subsidies and administrative expenses will be
    transferred from the unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating
    account.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for the Rural Telephone Bank, the subsidy costs associated with
    the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond as well as administrative
    expenses for the program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
    value basis; administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB), all cash flows to and from
    the Government resulting from direct loans obligated prior to 1992. This
    account is shown on a cash basis. All new activity in this program in
    1992 and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing
    accounts. Funding for both subsidy budget authority and the related
    salaries and expenses will be transferred from the unobligated balances
    in the RTB liquidating account in 2001.

        The RTB provides a supplemental source of financing for rural
    telecommunications borrowers. The Bank charges an interest rate based on
    the cost of money to the Bank, as prescribed by law, but not less than 5
    percent per annum.

        In accordance with section 406(c) of the Rural Electrification Act
    of 1936, as amended, the first redemption of class A stock occurred on
    September 30, 1996. Redemption of class A stock will continue, as
    allowed by law, toward the full privatization of the Rural Telephone
    Bank required by law. In 2001, the RTB is proposed to become a
    Performance Based Organization to establish its commercial viability
    prior to its being privatized within ten years.

        Administrative support is provided for the general operations of the
    Bank by RUS employees and the Office of the General Counsel.

        The loan and grant program provides access to advanced
    telecommunications services for improved education and health care in
    rural areas throughout the country. The loans and grants help education
    and health care providers bring the most modern technology, level of
    care, and education to rural America so its citizens can compete
    regionally, nationally, and globally. Additionally, the budget proposes
    a pilot program for grants and loans to finance installation of
    broadband transmission capacity (i.e. the necessary fiber optic cable
    capacity needed in order to provide any enhanced services such as the
    Internet or high speed modems) to and through rural communities, and to
    provide local dial-up Internet service to under-served rural areas.

        The Rural Development Insurance Fund (RDIF) was established on
    October 1, 1972, pursuant to section 116 of the Rural Development Act of
    1972 (Public Law 92-419).

        The fund is used to insure or guarantee loans for water systems and
    waste disposal facilities, community facilities, and industrial
    development in rural areas. Communities unable to afford low interest
    loans for water and waste disposal facilities are also able to obtain
    water and waste disposal grants.

        As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account
    records, for this program, all cash flows to and from the Government
    resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed
    prior to 1992. All new activity in this program is recorded in
    corresponding program accounts and financing accounts.

        In 1994, these loan programs were administered by the Rural
    Development Administration. Under reorganization of the Department of
    Agriculture, the water and waste direct and guaranteed loan programs are
    administered by the Rural Utilities Service, the community facility
    direct and guaranteed loan programs are adminsitered by the Rural
    Housing Service, and the business and industry direct and guaranteed
    loan programs are administered by the Rural Business-Cooperative
    Service.

        The mission of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is to open,
    expand and maintain global market opportunities through international
    trade, cooperation, and sustainable development activities which secure
    the long-term economic vitality and global competitiveness of America's
    rural communities and related food and agricultural enterprises.

        FAS conducts a demand-driven export strategy, deploying five major
    policy objectives to execute the strategy, while integrating commodity
    and country market priorities for allocating scarce export assistance
    resources. These objectives include:

        Market Access: FAS initiates, directs and coordinates the
    Department's formulation of trade policies and programs with the goal of
    maintaining and expanding world markets for U.S. agricultural products.
    It monitors international compliance with bilateral and multilateral
    trade agreements. It identifies restrictive tariff and trade practices
    which act as barriers to the import of U.S. agricultural commodities,
    then supports negotiations to remove them. It acts to counter and
    eliminate unfair trade practices of other countries that hinder U.S.
    agricultural exports to those markets. In virtually every foreign
    market, U.S. agricultural exports are subject to import duties and non-
    tariff trade restrictions. Trade information

    [[Page 157]]

    sent to Washington from FAS personnel overseas is used to map strategies
    for improving market access, pursuing U.S. rights under trade
    agreements, and developing programs and policies to make U.S. farm
    products more competitive. Staff increases to improve market access work
    will be achieved by shifting resources from FAS' financial marketing
    efforts.

        Market Development, Promotion and Outreach: FAS develops foreign
    markets for U.S. farm products through aggressive market expansion
    activities. It provides services to the U.S. and foreign agricultural
    trade sectors that are necessary to establish, build and maintain
    overseas markets for U.S. agricultural products. Public Law 83-690,
    approved August 28, 1954, includes authority to establish up to 25
    Agricultural Trade Offices. Currently 17 such offices are in operation
    at key foreign trading centers to assist U.S. exporters, trade groups
    and state export marketing officials in trade promotion. Promotional
    activities are carried out chiefly in cooperation with non-profit
    agricultural trade associations and firms on a cost-sharing basis. The
    largest of FAS's promotional programs is the Foreign Market Development
    Cooperator Program and Market Access Program. In addition, FAS sponsors
    U.S. participation in several major trade shows and a number of single-
    industry exhibitions each year. These programs are designed to create
    demand for U.S. agricultural products in foreign markets, introduce U.S.
    food and agricultural products to potential foreign customers, and show
    foreign customers how to use U.S. products.

        FAS strategic outreach efforts focus on facilitating export
    readiness and help link both export-ready and new-to-export firms to
    market entry opportunities, and increase domestic awareness of export
    opportunities/global consumer quality and product safety expectations.
    These efforts are designed to strengthen the export knowledge/skills of
    producers and exporters so they can compete more effectively in the
    international marketplace. Outreach also includes targeting foreign
    buyers in educating them about the merits of U.S. products and how they
    can be purchased.

        Market Intelligence: FAS provides U.S. farmers and traders with
    information on world agricultural production and trade that they can use
    to adjust to changes in world demand for U.S. agricultural products.
    This is done through a continuous program of reporting by 63 posts
    located throughout the world covering some 130 countries. Reporting
    includes information and/or data on foreign government policies,
    analysis of supply and demand conditions, commercial trade relationships
    and market opportunities. Advanced computer and telecommunications
    technology is used to improve and speed the flow of information between
    the posts and Washington. FAS analyzes agricultural information
    essential to the assessment of foreign supply and demand conditions in
    order to provide estimates of the current situation and to forecast the
    export potential for specific U.S. agricultural commodities.

        Financial Marketing Assistance: FAS administers a number of price/
    credit and risk assistance programs designed to develop overseas markets
    and expand the levels of U.S. agricultural commodities. These programs
    include CCC Export Credit Guarantee Programs, export subsidy programs,
    including the Export Enhancement Program and Dairy Export Incentive
    Program, and food assistance activities such as Public Law 480, Food for
    Progress and the Section 416(b) program. These programs are designed to
    help developing nations make the transition from concessional financing
    to cash purchases, give U.S. producers the ability to counter export
    subsidies of foreign competitors and allow U.S. exporters to compete
    with sales terms offered by foreign competitors.

        Long-term Market and Infrastructure Development: FAS helps USDA and
    other federal agencies, U.S. universities and others enhance the global
    competitiveness of U.S. agriculture and helps increase income and food
    availability in developing nations by mobilizing expertise for
    agriculturally led economic growth. Through the administration of a
    number of collaborative programs, FAS works to enhance U.S.
    agriculture's competitiveness by providing linkages to world resources
    and international organizations and building a spirit of cooperation.
    These linkages produce new technologies that are vital to improving the
    agricultural demand base and producing new and alternative products.
    Direct program activities include the administration of the Cochran
    Fellowship Program and management of USDA's bilateral exchange and
    cooperative research programs with foreign governments and institutions.
    Another activity is the Emerging Markets Program under which technical
    assistance and related activities are carried out in emerging markets
    aimed at enhancing their food and rural business systems and expanding
    U.S. agricultural exports. At the request of the Agency for
    International Development, international organizations and foreign
    governments, technical assistance and training in agriculture and rural
    development are provided on a reimbursable or advance of funds basis.

        In 2000 and 2001, the Foreign market development cooperator program

        Financing sales of agricultural commodities to developing countries
    for dollars on credit terms, or for local currencies (including for
    local currencies on credit terms) for use under sec. 104; and for
    furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of 1985,
    as amended (title I).--Funds appropriated for P.L. 480 are used to
    finance all sales made pursuant to agreements concluded under the
    authority of Title I. The Corporation may serve as the purchasing or
    shipping agent, or both, for the importing country or may award
    contracts for freight agent services on behalf of the Corporation to
    handle shipping of commodities under P.L. 480.

        Sales are made to developing countries as defined in section 402(4)
    of P.L. 480 and must not displace expected commercial sales (secs.
    403(e) and (h)). Agreements are made with developing countries for
    delivery in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

    [[Page 163]]

        When U.S.-flag vessels are required to ship commodities under this
    title, the Corporation will pay the difference between U.S.-flag rates
    and foreign-flag rates. In limited cases, full transportation costs to
    port-of-entry or point-of-entry abroad may be included along with the
    cost of the commodity in the amount financed by CCC in order to ensure
    that U.S. food aid can reach the most needy recipients.

        Financing sales of agricultural commodities for dollars on credit
    terms (title I).--Payment by developing countries or private entities
    may be made over a period of not more than 30 years with a deferral of
    principal payments for up to 5 years. Interest accrues at a concessional
    rate as determined appropriate.

        Section 411 of P.L. 480 authorizes the President to waive payments
    of principal and interest under dollar credit sales agreements for
    countries that meet certain enumerated requirements. Such debt relief
    may be provided only if the President notifies Congress and may not
    exceed the amount approved for such purpose in an Act appropriating
    funds to carry out P.L. 480.

        Financing sales of agricultural commodities for local currency,
    including for local currency on credit terms.--Payment by a recipient
    country may be made in local currencies for use in carrying out
    activities under section 104 of P.L. 480.

        Foreign currency received in payment for credit extended may be used
    for payment of U.S. obligations abroad, subject to the appropriation
    process. The P.L. 480 program is reimbursed for the dollar value of
    currencies so used.

        The financing of sales of agricultural commodities for local
    currencies on credit terms is subject to the same terms that are
    applicable to dollar credit financing.

        Furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of
    1985, as amended (title I).--Funds appropriated to carry out title I may
    be used to furnish commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of
    1985. Such commodities may be furnished on credit terms or on a grant
    basis in order to assist developing countries and countries that are
    emerging democracies that have made a commitment to introduce and expand
    free enterprise elements in their agricultural economies.

    appropriations (in millions of dollars):

        Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad (title
    II).--Under title II, agricultural commodities are furnished to meet
    famine or other emergency relief needs, combat malnutrition, carry out
    activities to alleviate the causes of hunger, mortality and morbidity,
    promote economic and community development, promote sound environmental
    practices, and carry out feeding programs. Agricultural commodities are
    provided through governments for emergencies only, and for non-
    emergencies through public and private agencies, including
    intergovernmental organizations.

        The Corporation is authorized to pay the costs of acquisition,
    packaging, processing, enrichment, preservation, fortification,
    transportation, handling, and other incidental costs incurred up to the
    time of delivery at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight
    charges, and pays transportation costs to points of entry other than
    ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific
    country are not available, where ports cannot be used effectively, or
    where a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and pays
    general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition,
    transportation costs from designated points of entry or ports of entry
    abroad to storage and distribution sites and associated storage and
    distribution costs may be paid for commodities made available to meet
    urgent and extraordinary relief requirements. The Budget proposes to
    authorize the transfer of up to 15 percent of Title II funds to Title
    III funds. This will allow for increased flexibility in the Title II and
    Title III programs.

        Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad (title
    III).--Under title III, agricultural commodities are furnished to least
    developed countries as defined in section 302(a). They are provided
    through foreign governments for direct feeding, development of emergency
    food reserves or may be sold with the proceeds of such sale used by the
    recipient country for specific economic development purposes.

        The Corporation may pay, in connection with furnishing commodities
    under title III, the same cost items as authorized under title II.
    Although no funding is requested for Title III, up to 15 percent of
    funds from other titles under P.L. 480 may be transferred for this
    program.

        The Food Stamp Program is the primary source of nutrition assistance
    for low-income Americans.

        Some of these funds provide a grant to Puerto Rico in lieu of the
    food stamp program which gives the Commonwealth flexibility to continue
    a nutrition assistance program tailored to the needs of its low-income
    households.

        Funds in this account are also used to carry out the Emergency Food
    Assistance Act of 1983 and for food distribution and administrative
    expenses for Native Americans under section 4(b) of the Food Stamp Act.

        The Administration is proposing to restore Food Stamp benefits to
    certain legal immigrants made ineligible by restrictions in the Personal
    Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996.

        This proposal also provides States with the option to: (1) conform
    their food stamp vehicle policy with their Temporary assistance for
    needy families vehicle policy, so long as food stamp households are held
    harmless; and, (2) conform food stamp and Medicaid income definitions.

        The proposal is net of food stamp savings due to child support
    enforcement proposals.

        The Commodity Assistance Program includes the Commodity Supplemental
    Food Program (CSFP), the Emergency Food Assistance Program and the
    Farmers' Market Nutrition Program.

        The CSFP provides food packages for low-income women, infants, and
    children as well as low-income elderly persons. It also funds State
    administrative expenses.

        The Emergency Food Assistance Program provides cash to support State
    administrative activities and maintain the storage and distribution
    pipeline for USDA and privately donated commodities.

        The Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (previously funded under the
    Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children)
    provides cash to support States' administrative expenses and vouchers
    redeemable by participants for fresh produce at farmers' markets.

        The 156 National Forests, 20 National Grasslands, and nine land
    utilization projects located in 44 States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin
    Islands are managed under multiple-use and sustained-yield principles.
    The natural resources of timber, minerals, range, wildlife, outdoor
    recreation, watershed, and soil are used in a planned combination that
    will best meet the needs of the Nation without impairing productivity of
    the land or damaging the environment. These management and utilization
    principles are recognized in the Multiple-Use, Sustained-Yield Act of
    1960 (16 U.S.C. 528-531) and use an ecological approach to managing the
    National Forest System.

        National Forest System (NFS) operations and maintenance provide for
    the planning, assessment, and conservation of ecosystems while
    delivering multiple public services and uses. These are delivered
    through the principal NFS programs of land management planning,
    inventory, and monitoring, recreation use, wildlife and fisheries
    habitat management, rangeland management, forestland management, soil,
    water, and air management, minerals and geology management,
    landownership management, and law enforcement. These programs maintain
    the capability to manage natural resources in a manner consistent with
    ecological principles and responsibilities. Funds have not been included
    for the general administration activity programs now financed directly
    by the Forest and Rangeland Research, State and Private Forestry,
    National Forest System, Wildland Fire Management, Reconstruction and
    Construction, and Land Acquisition appropria

    [[Page 170]]

    tions. In prior years, administration of these programs was funded
    through NFS.

        The 2001 Budget includes an emphasis on sustainable forestry. The
    proportion of timber production resulting from a stewardship purpose
    rather than a commodity purpose continues to rise, more than doubling
    since 1994. Supporting these goals, the Administration is proposing a
    new $10 million pilot Forest health stewardship program that will better
    enable the use of underutilized and small diameter woody material to
    achieve sustainable forest management and watershed health and
    restoration. In addition, FS continues to advance in measuring forest
    integrity and evaluating sustainable forestry, such as through the
    Montreal criteria and indicators.

        The Budget proposes a new $65 million Planning, Inventory and
    Monitoring Initiative. The initiative includes funds for forest land
    management planning, and wildlife and resource inventory and monitoring.
    These funds are needed to adequately follow through on the new Forest
    Planning regulations, including funds to: accelerate forest planning
    work that has been slowed in recent years; support the proposed
    community advisory groups, bio-regional and watershed planning; select
    species representatives; establish new protocols for focal species
    monitoring; enhance monitoring to better evaluate survey populations and
    pursue adaptive management. In addition, funds are included to pursue
    the Clean Water Action Plan assessment costs, called for under the
    Unified Federal Policy for Watershed Management on Federal Lands.

        Increased funds are also included for the Survey and Manage
    monitoring work. $10 million in additional funding for these activities
    is provided in timber sale management; $10 million is provided in
    inventory and monitoring; and additional funds are dispersed throughout
    different budget line items.

        The Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Agreements is proposed for
    use by the National Forest System when carrying out forest and watershed
    planning. The purpose of this funding is to enhance the forest planning
    process--particularly the bio-regional and watershed assessments--by
    providing funding to non-federal entities for work on lands surrounding
    or adjacent to national forests as part of the forest planning process
    for the betterment of the national forest. The program would emphasize
    corridor creations and cooperative arrangements among land owning
    entities, in which $5 million would be available to establish or enhance
    buffers around national forests for habitat protection, wildlife
    corridors between national forests and other federal and state land
    holdings, and riparian zones to protect rare aquatic species present
    within the national forest. (Sec. 323 of the Department of the Interior
    and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as included in Public Law
    105-277, section 101(e).).

        $30 million in new funding is proposed for a new Tourism/Rural
    Development Initiative for developing tourism plans, analyzing special
    use permits, developing trails, restoring or constructing recreational
    facilities and enhancing tourism appeal on national forests. The sites
    chosen for this program target lower income, resource-dependent areas,
    adjacent to National Forests, where there are promising tourism
    opportunities. This initiative would target roughly 20 priority forest
    locations, and after discussions with local communities, would develop
    ``destination'' tourism infrastructure and opportunities, establishing
    new economic prospects for these gateway communities.

        To support management reforms, an advance appropriation of $15
    million will be available to reward those forests that adopt approved
    restructuring or streamlining management practices (efficiency-
    enhancing, cost-savings or customer service-producing) by the end of
    2001. FS will publish a list of different management practices at the
    beginning of 2001 and management units will be evaluated for those that
    achieve these goals by the end of the year.

        Recommendations from the Report by the National Academy of Public
    Administration note that the current discretionary budget structure for
    the Forest Service does not support adequate linkage of the agency
    strategic plan, forest plans, and performance measures. As a result,
    accountability and financial integrity have suffered. Accordingly, USDA
    will present the Congressional Justification for the 2001 Budget in a
    format that supports a performance-based budgeting approach. This budget
    proposal is a significant opportunity to present a budget based on
    performance in a manner consistent with the agency strategic plan and
    the Government Performance and Results Act. The new budget structure
    will accomplish the following:

        --Focus debate on outputs and outcomes rather than budget line
            items;

        --Reflect the nature of the real work being done by the Forest
            Service (ecosystem and multiple use), allowing the field staff
            to avoid artificially categorizing a task to match budget lines;

        --Eventually link forest plans and the budget (a Committee of
            Scientist recommendation):

        --Provide increased accountability in agency program delivery;

        --Simplify the agency accounting, allowing field staff to do more
            natural resource related work instead of accounting work
            (estimated by GAO to account for tens of millions of dollars
            annually);

        --Simplify the budget (e.g., reducing the National Forest System's
            budget line items and extended budget line items from 29 to 3),
            supporting the goal of achieving a clean opinion for the
            agency's financial statements.

        Funding for infrastructure provides capital improvements and
    maintenance of facilities, roads, and trails. The program emphasizes:
    better resource management decisions based on the best scientific
    information and knowledge; an efficient and effective infrastructure
    that supports public and administrative uses; and quality recreation
    experiences with minimal impact to ecosystem stability and conditions.

        Facilities.--Provides for capital improvements and maintenance of
    research, fire, administrative, and other (FA&O), and recreation
    facilities, including site components such as roads and trails and the
    acquisition of buildings and other facilities necessary to carry out the
    mission of the Forest Service. Capital Improvements include: new
    construction of a facility; alteration of an existing facility to change
    the function; and expansion of a facility to change the capacity or to
    serve needs that are different from what was originally intended.
    Maintenance is divided into four primary areas: annual maintenance,
    deferred maintenance, decommissioning, and operations. Deferred
    maintenance work includes the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of
    the facility or components of the facility.

        Roads.--Provides for capital improvements and maintenance of roads.
    The program also focuses on decommissioning unneeded roads and/or roads
    that are degrading the ecosystem. Capital improvements include: new road
    construction; alteration of an existing road to change the function; and
    expansion of the road to change the capacity or to serve needs that are
    different from what was originally intended. The agency will continue to
    address the growing road system maintenance backlog. Funding priorities
    are health and safety, resource protection, and mission critical needs.
    Maintenance is divided into four primary areas: annual road maintenance,
    deferred road maintenance, road operations, and decommissioning.

        Trails.--Provides for capital improvements and maintenance of
    trails. Capital improvements include: new trail construction; alteration
    of an existing trail to change the function; and expansion of the trail
    to change the capacity or to serve needs that are different from what
    was originally intended. Maintenance funding is used to protect capital
    investments by keeping trails open for access and protecting vegetation,
    soil, and water quality. Work includes clearing the pathway of
    encroaching vegetation and fallen trees, and repairing or improving
    trail signs, treadways, drainage facilities, and bridges. Maintenance is
    divided into four primary areas: annual trail maintenance, deferred
    trail maintenance, trail operations, and trail decommissioning.

        This proposal would decouple the road and trail fund from the
    receipts of national forests. Instead, fixed mandatory funding would be
    available for annual expenditures. The program would continue to focus
    on infrastructure needs of reconstruction and maintenance for roads and
    trails. In addition, the fund would be managed so as to give priority to
    opportunities to provide contracts to support public works contracts and
    other job creating programs in rural communities through Jobs in the
    Woods, Youth Conservation Corps, and similar special employment programs
    to employ displaced timber workers and residents of rural communities
    near national forests.

        The mission of Forest and Rangeland Research is to serve society by
    developing and communicating the scientific information and technology
    needed to protect, manage, use, and sustain the natural resources of the
    Nation's forests and rangelands. This information is essential for
    formulating pol- icy and wisely managing and conserving both public and
    private forests and rangelands. Research is the key to sustaining our
    forest and rangeland productivity and health while providing a quality
    environment. Forest and Rangeland Research is conducted and disseminated
    through six Forest and Range Experiment Station headquarters and their
    laboratories, the Forest Products Laboratory, and the International
    Institute of Tropical Forestry.

        Priority will be placed on supporting the implementation of forest
    planning regulations. This includes analyzing watershed integrity
    measurement and systems, evaluating monitoring systems and assessing
    results, providing information about compatible forest uses. In order to
    appropriately designate the new ``focal'' species, additional funding in
    this budget will emphasize priority wildlife habitat research; however,
    because these projects affect other agencies in addition to the FS, FS
    Research is enhancing existing coordination mechanisms to ensure that no
    overlapping and redundant work occurs. Funds are also included for
    global climate change research, particularly the use of small diameter
    trees for biomass energy uses and carbon cycle studies. Finally, work
    will continue on development of improved quantitative analytical tools
    to support forest planning goals to maximize net public benefits in a
    more objective and transparent manner.

        State, Private, and International Forestry programs provide
    assistance to manage, use, and protect forest resources on State, urban,
    and private lands to meet domestic and international demands for goods
    and services. Assistance is provided to a wide range of customers
    including all States, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, the
    Northern Mariana Islands and the Trust Terrority of the Pacific.

        Forest health management.--Includes Federal lands, and cooperative
    lands.

        Cooperative Fire Protection.--Includes funding to enhance the
    capacity of States to provide coordinated fire suppression response and
    to promote safe and effective initial fire attack in wildland/urban
    interface areas by volunteer fire departments.

        The new Wildland/Urban Interface Program will reduce fire damages
    and personal risks. Fire Management will be used to encourage greater
    community participation in reducing fire risk in the Wildland/Urban
    Interface, through competitive grants to partially support community
    planning and disaster prevention and hazard mitigation assistance.
    Community implementation of fire hazard mitigation projects will save
    Federal wildfire suppression costs. Insurance company participation may
    provide a subsequent reduction in insurance premiums for participating
    communities.

        Cooperative Forestry.--Includes forest stewardship, the stewardship
    incentives program, the forest legacy program, urban and community
    forestry, economic action programs, and Pacific Northwest community
    assistance programs. Forest stewardship includes: forest resource
    management; and seedlings, nursery, and tree improvement programs.
    Economic action programs include economic recovery, rural development,
    and forest products conservation and recycling programs.

        Funding for the Forest Legacy, Urban and Community Forestry and the
    Smart Growth Partnership Loans within this account is proposed as part
    of a new Lands Legacy discretionary spending catergory to provide
    dedicated and protected funding for the President's Lands Legacy
    Initiative. See the Environment Chapter in the Budget for a summary of
    the Initiative. These funds along with increases in other accounts
    highlight the Administration's commitment to making new tools available,
    and working with states, tribes, local governments and private partners
    to protect great places; to conserve open space for recreation and
    wildlife habitat; and to preserve forest, farmlands, and coastal areas.

        New funding in the Economic Action Programs will be targeted to
    support new agreements for rural development cooperation in forest
    resource dependent locations. Also, the Smart Growth Partnership is a
    new USDA direct loan program to use subsidized loans for smart growth
    land acquisition, management and use through partnerships with state,
    local, and tribal governments. The program would allow communities to
    protect open spaces to help limit sprawl, enhance water quality
    protections, reduce greenhouse emissions and increase greenspace.

        International Programs.--The 2001 Budget expands International
    Programs to $10 million (as a specific line item). The programs will
    emphasize habitat protection for migratory birds along the length of the
    flyway, preventing the introduction of new invasive species, and
    sustainable forestry techniques development for other timber exporting
    nations.

        The Forest Service will propose legislation to decouple its
    mandatory spending programs from timber receipts and instead to
    authorize spending from the Treasury at current baseline-assumed levels
    (fixed, specific levels of spending) under a new, broader-purposed
    program.

        The revised policy would improve management and increase
    accountability by severing the linkage between program spending and
    timber harvest volumes, thereby eliminating concerns that the source of
    funds influences decisions on the choices for management prescriptions,
    and increase agency reliance on the funds to finance organizational
    costs. The new mandatory account structure will preserve funding at
    known, fixed, and dependable amounts, and display budget information
    more visibly allowing the agency, Congress, and the public an expanded
    role in funding allocation decisions. To ensure greater funding
    visibility and improved targeting, funding decisions for the new account
    will be displayed in the agency's Congressional Justification for the
    Budget, using the annual performance measures to indicate the outcomes
    of the intended spending. This results in a comparable effect to putting
    the spending ``on-line'' through the discretionary budget.

        The reforms to the permanent appropriations would establish the new
    Healthy Investments in Rural Environments (HIRE) initiative to hire
    thousands of skilled workers in rural communities through public works
    contracts and begin to reduce the backlog of priority maintenance,
    reconstruction, and forest health projects on National Forest System
    lands. The HIRE would use Jobs in the Woods, Youth Conservation Corps,
    and similar special employment programs to employ displaced timber
    workers and other rural workers. HIRE would fund a range of different
    projects, including reforestation, timber stand improvement, road
    maintenance, fuels reduction, wildlife habitat restoration, erosion
    control, or survey and monitoring work. In addition to the activities
    now carried out with these funds (e.g., reforestation), other priorities
    include road maintenance, and prescribed burns and other hazardous fuels
    reduction. Funds could be leveraged through challenge cost-share to best
    accomplish the program goals.

        These changes would make mandatory funding more visible to the
    public, more transparent for the budget and accounting system, better
    targeted toward Forest Service priorities, removed from any unintended
    incentives that affect management decisions, and available for increased
    rural employment.

        Wildland fire management.--This appropriation provides funding for
    Forest Service fire management, presuppression, and suppression on
    National Forest System lands, adjacent State and private lands, and
    other lands under fire protection agreement.

        Preparedness.--To protect National Forest System (NFS) lands from
    damage by wildfires commensurate with the threat to life, values at
    risk, public values, and management objectives.

        Preparedness provides the basic fire organization and capability to
    prevent forest fires and to take prompt, effective initial attack
    suppression operations action on wildfires. This funding covers expenses
    associated with planning, prevention, detection, information and
    education; pre-incident training; equipment and supply purchase and
    replacement; and other preparedness activities, including the base
    salary and travel of the regular Forest Service firefighting
    organization. Through this program the Forest Service also assists other
    Federal agencies and States with training programs, planning assistance,
    sharing joint equipment use contracts and interagency fire coordination
    centers.

        Fire Operations.--To efficiently suppress wildland fires on or
    threatening National Forest System (NFS) lands or other lands under fire
    protection agreement. Fire Operations provides funds for all hazardous
    fuel reduction program activities including planning and implementation,
    mechanical treatments, prescribed fire, and monitoring of fuel treatment
    accomplishments. Fuel treatment activities are performed to minimize the
    potential for large, destructive wildfires.

        Fire Operations funds are used to immediately and efficiently
    rehabilitate severely burned NFS lands to prevent further destruction of
    natural resources, including soil loss and flooding. Funds are used to
    increase the level of fire preparedness when predicted or actual burning
    conditions exceed normal levels.

        Contingency Funds.--This budget includes $150,000,000 in contingent
    funding for 2001 to be utilized for emergency wildland fire activities,
    if needed, beyond the amount requested in this budget.

        Current receipt sharing payments (25% payments) are proposed to be
    replaced by a stable, guaranteed level of payments based on the concept
    of the guaranteed payments, ``Payments to States, Northern Spotted Owl
    Guarantee''. The Administration's objective is to secure a stable and
    permanent source of funding for rural schools and other infrastructure
    needs. The Administration's proposal would significantly increase
    funding for these activities over current baseline levels.

        Nationally, payments to States funding has declined 37% since 1989,
    from $361 million down to $229 million last year (the 1999 payment is
    based on 1998 receipts). The Administration's proposal would provide a
    guaranteed $270 million annually to States. The Administration fully
    recognizes the importance of these payments to local communities for
    public schools and roads as a result of Federal landownership. By virtue
    of this stabilization proposal, the Administration has shown its
    commitment to continuation of the payments and will work to ensure they
    are permanently provided every year in the future.

        The Administration stands ready to work with Congress to produce
    legislation that provides increased, guaranteed, stable payments to
    States and communities. Any proposals, including those that would
    establish a portion of the funding for ``special projects,'' should
    allow the counties the option to participate or to use the full funding
    for schools.

        The Administration would consider additional special project funding
    if the projects are targeted to provide better management, improved
    community stewardship, or ecological restoration of the National
    Forests, and Grasslands. This could provide opportunities for the Forest
    Service to provide public works contracts and other job creating
    programs in rural communities through Jobs in the Woods, Youth
    Conservation Corps, and similar such special employment programs to
    increase employment in rural areas.

        Forest Service, in cooperation with the General Services
    Administration, will propose that the agency have authority to sell
    facilities, buildings, constructed features and any appurtenant land,
    excess to its needs, and to use the proceeds for acquiring or developing
    land and improvements. This proposal would establish a real property
    capital account for the management, replacement, and capital
    improvements for facilities.

        The proposed real property capital account is a special fund, a
    federal fund account both for receipts that are earmarked for specific
    purposes and for the expenditure of these receipts. Unlike a general
    fund account, receipts and expenditures are linked and, the receipts are
    available only for a specific purpose.

        This appropriation consolidates land acquisition authorities for
    acquisition of lands, waters, or interest therein, as authorized by law.

        Land and water conservation fund.--Recreation lands and interests
    are acquired within areas of the National Forest System, wilderness,
    wildlife and fisheries habitat management areas, and endangered species
    and other areas for public outdoor recreation purposes.

    [[Page 180]]

        Funding for this account is proposed as part of a new Lands Legacy
    discretionary spending category to provide dedicated and protected
    funding for the President's Lands Legacy Initiative. See the Environment
    Chapter in the Budget for a summary of the Initiative. These funds,
    along with increases in other accounts, highlight the Administration's
    commitment to making new tools available, and working with states,
    tribes, local governments and private partners to protect great places;
    to conserve open space for recreation and wildlife habitat; and to
    preserve forest, farmlands, and coastal areas.

        The request proposes to extend the availability of title V, FY 1997
    Interior and Related Agencies funds to be used for continuation of
    maintenance and rehabilitation work on the Beartooth Highway. Funds are
    due to expire on September 30, 2001. Extension of funding availability
    allows continuation for road maintenance while the Environmental Impact
    Statement (EIS) is being completed; the EIS, required by law, must be
    completed before rehabilitation may commence.

        Acquisition of lands to complete land exchanges.--Deposits made by
    State, county, or municipal governments, public school districts, or
    other public school authorities for cash equalization of certain land
    exchanges are used to acquire similar lands suitable for National Forest
    System purposes in the same State as the National Forest lands conveyed
    in the land exchange.

        The Forest Service will propose administrative and legislative
    reforms to land investments, including changes to the land exchange
    program and increased authority for land sales and acquisition to more
    efficiently acquire additional high priority lands to ensure increased
    environmental benefits and government value.

        The Forest Service has already taken the various actions (some
    recommended by the Office of Inspector General) to the Land Ownership
    program. On-going and future actions include:

        --Implemented a National Policy that requires all FS land exchanges
            to be reviewed and approved by the National Land Adjustments
            Oversight Team (that has examined over 90 proposed exchanges to
            date), and established national policy and guidelines (November
            1998) on roles and responsibilities of third party facilators in
            landownership adjustments;

        --Issued guidance on September 10, 1999 requiring all desired
            landownership configurations to be incorporated in Forest Plan
            revisions;

        --Announced that the future new policy will include full disclosure
            of all appraisal information involving land exchanges;

        --Determined that, along with the increased public information and
            involvement in exchanges, an effort will be made to seek
            competition in land exchanges by permitting other interested
            parties to enter into the bidding for a FS property;

        --Will propose new legislation permitting the Forest Service to
            acquire new lands and dispose of unneeded existing property in
            order to enhance managerial efficiencies, gain high quality
            recreational and scenic plots, and protect and increase critical
            habitat for sensitive species. This increased authority to buy
            and sell lands--along with restrictions to protect
            environmentally valuable properties--will enable the agency to
            use the commercial real estate markets for more transactions.
            The new authority will rely upon full openness in land-related
            transactions, along with high levels of competition (no ``one-
            on-one'' transactions).

        Through increased authority for land sales and acquisitions, this
    proposed legislation would focus on acquiring high priority wetlands,
    riparian areas, threatened and endangered species habitat, areas of high
    biological diversity, wildlife corridors, and other high value
    conservation areas to ensure increased environmental benefits and
    government value. Proposed legislation would facilitate making
    appropriate sales and re-investment in Forest Service lands, including
    lands where encumbrances or community needs make them more appropriate
    for other public or private ownership, and where opportunities for
    achieving market value for a property are better through a sale than an
    exchange. The legislation will include sideboards or restrictions needed
    to avoid potential land sale abuses, and ensure only appropriate lands
    are available for sales (and reinvestment in new lands) at any one time.

    [[Page 181]]

        The proposed Land Acquisition Reinvestment Fund is a special federal
    fund account for both receipts that are earmarked for specific purposes
    and for the expenditure of these receipts. Unlike a general fund
    account, receipts and expenditures are linked and, the receipts are
    available for only a specific purpose.

                                        ====================================

        Operation and maintenance of quarters.--Quarters rental deductions
    are collected from employees occupying Forest Service facilities.
    Amounts are deposited into a special fund and are available for the
    maintenance and operation of employee-occupied quarters. (5 U.S.C. 5911)

        Resource management, timber receipts.--Funds in this special account
    are available for trail maintenance, reconstruction, and construction;
    wildlife and fisheries habitat management; soil, water, and air
    management; cultural/heritage resource management; wilderness
    management; reforestation; and timber sale administration and
    management.

        Recreation fee demonstration program.--Pursuant to Sec. 315 of Title
    III--General Provisions, Omnibus Consolidated Rescissions and
    Appropriations Act of 1996, Public Law 104-134 of April 26, 1996 as
    amended, amounts collected at fee demonstration areas, sites, or
    projects are available for maintenance and development of recreation
    facilities. A legislative proposal to authorize collection and use of
    all recreation receipts in fiscal year 2002 and after is included in the
    budget.

        Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie rental fees.--Monies received
    under a special use authorization (issued under subsection (b) of Public
    Law 104-106, Title XXIX, Subtitle A, Section 2915, after distribution to
    the State of Illinois and affected counties pursuant to the Act of May
    23, 1908) are available to cover the cost to the United States of
    prairie improvement work at the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie.

        Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie Restoration Fund.--Monies
    received from user fees and the salvage value proceeds from sale of any
    facilities and improvements pursuant to Section 2915(d) and (e) of
    Public Law 104-106, as amended by Public Law 105-83, are available to
    cover the costs of restoration and administrative activities.

        Payment to Minnesota.--At the close of each fiscal year, the State
    of Minnesota is paid 0.75 percent of the appraised value of certain
    Superior National Forest lands in the counties of Cook Lake and St.
    Louis for distribution to these counties (16 U.S.C. 577g).

    [[Page 182]]

        Payments to counties, National Grasslands.--Of the revenues received
    in a calendar year from the use of National Grasslands, 25 percent is
    paid to the counties in which such land is situated for funding local
    schools and roads (7 U.S.C. 1012).

        Payments to States, National Forests Fund.--With minor exceptions,
    25 percent of the money received from the National Forests, including
    all the collections under 16 U.S.C. 576b, and all amounts allowed any
    timber purchaser for construction of roads, is paid at the end of each
    fiscal year to the States for funding local schools and roads of the
    county in which such forests are situated (16 U.S.C. 500 and 97 Stat.
    1123). Proposed legislation, to be transmitted later, would stabilize
    funding levels through payments to States, beginning in 2001, to provide
    predictable payment for county roads and schools.

        Expenses, brush disposal.--Funds from payments by purchasers of
    National Forest timber to dispose of or treat slash and other debris
    that result from cutting operations (16 U.S.C. 490). Proposed
    legislation, to be transmitted later would pool certain receipt-based
    funding, including the Salvage and Knutson-Vandenberg Funds into the
    Healthy Investments in Rural Environments program. Funding would be
    available for priority multiple-use projects in the locations of
    greatest need, while emphasizing employment opportunities like Jobs-in-
    the-Woods.

        Licensee programs, Forest Service.--Funds from fees for the use of
    characters by private enterprises are collected under regulations
    promulgated by the Secretary as follows:
            Smokey Bear.--For furthering the nationwide forest fire
        prevention campaign (16 U.S.C. 580(2)).
            Woodsy Owl.--For promoting wise use of the environment and
        programs which foster maintenance and improvement of environmental
        quality (16 U.S.C. 580(1)).

        Restoration of northern forestlands and improvements.--Funds from
    claim settlements involving damage to lands or improvements and from
    forfeiture of deposits and bonds by permittees and timber purchasers are
    used for the restoration made necessary by the action which led to the
    settlement of forfeiture (16 U.S.C. 579c).

        Timber purchaser roads constructed by Forest Service.--Funds from
    timber receipts for Government constructed permanent roads for
    purchasers of timber who qualify as small businesses and elect to have
    the Forest Service construct the roads designated under the timber sale
    contract where costs exceed $20,000 (16 U.S.C. 472a(i)).

        Recreation fee collection costs.--Under authority of Section
    10002(b) of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.L. 103-66),
    which amended Section 4(i)(1) of the L&WCF Act, the Secretaries of
    Agriculture and Interior are authorized to withhold a portion of all
    recreation fees collected (not to exceed 15 percent), to be available
    during the current fiscal year, without further appropriation to cover
    fee collection costs.

        Tongass timber supply fund.--Funds from sales of Alaska timber to
    maintain the timber supply from the Tongass National Forest at a
    specified level (16 U.S.C. 539d).

        Timber salvage sales.--Funds are used for salvage of insect-
    infested, dead, damaged, or down timber, and to remove associated trees
    for stand improvement (16 U.S.C. 472a(h)).

        Timber Sales Pipeline Restoration Fund.--As authorized under Section
    327 of the Omnibus Consolidated Recissions and Appropriations Act of
    1996, funds from revenues received from timber sales released under
    Section 2001(k) of the 1995 Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster
    Assistance and Recissions Act for the purpose of restoring the timber
    pipeline and funding the backlog of recreation projects on National
    Forest System lands.

        Current receipt sharing payments (``Twenty-Five Percent Fund'') are
    proposed to be replaced by a stable, guaranteed level of payments based
    on the concept of the guaranteed payments ``Payments to States, Northern
    Spotted Own Guarantee''. See the legislative proposal following that
    account.

        The Recreation Fee Demonstration Program is proposed to be
    permanently extended beyond 2001, and would authorize the direct
    expenditure of all recreation fees collected by the Forest Service and
    Department of Interior agencies.

        This proposal would permit non-timber interests to bid on timber
    sales to enable recreation and conservation groups to participate in
    auctions of timber harvest rights from federal lands. The proposal would
    alter the 3-year requirement for harvesting timber from national
    forests. The proposal serves to increase competition as more parties
    could bid on timber sales. In addition, receipts would increase because
    environmental and recreation groups may bid greater than the market
    value of the timber, reflecting values different than only timber uses.
    A portion of the receipts would be used for community employment and
    stability work, such as using Jobs-in-the Woods restoration projects.

        Proposed legislation would also require that the minimum bid level,
    including rollbacks, on timber sales for commodity purposes, should be
    equal to the costs of sale preparation and harvest management. The
    proposal would not apply to stewardship timber sales. This will better
    enable the agency to establish minimum appraisal levels for timber
    sales. In 1914, minimum bids were set at 0.5/mbf, which was intended to
    cover the costs of sale preparation and administration. In the 1950s,
    existing minimum rates were reviewed and Regional Foresters instructed
    to set a minimum price level of ``at least $1.00/mbf, which was deemed
    to be the absolute minimum cost required to prepare and administer
    commercial timber sales.''

        In addition, the proposal would require a new timber contract to
    avoid future damages. The proposal would establish new contract
    cancellation procedures that would reimburse timber sale purchasers for
    out-of-pocket expenses, but not for the cost of replacement timber as
    current contracts now do. It would also require that the timber sale
    purchaser obtain general liability insurance to protect the government
    from liability; the contract would transfer title for the timber to the
    purchaser at the time of payment, when the timber is cut, rather than
    after the timber is removed from the sale site. The new contract also
    would establish that timber sales purchasers could not cut undesignated
    trees.

        The proposal would also require the receipt of fair market value
    from ski resorts on National Forest System lands in order to ensure that
    the rental charges remain fair and equitable to both the United States
    and the ski area permittees as mandated by Congress on the 1996 Omnibus
    Parks bill.

        A concession reform proposal would amend the Granger-Thye Act of
    1950 to authorize up to 15 pilot projects to enable the private sector
    to reconstruct, construct, or maintain, as well as to operate federally
    owned facilities in a public/private pilot basis. The proposal would
    target resorts, campgrounds, and marinas, to improve recreation
    opportunities and enhance visitor experiences, while reducing the large
    facility maintenance backlog. The proposal would also require that the
    agency collect fair market value for recreation concessions other than
    ski areas using appraisals, a competitive bid process, or other method
    based on sound business management principles, as appropriate. Such fees
    collected would be available for spending without further appropriation
    for the purposes of increased concession opportunities and enhanced
    visitor services, including infrastructure maintenance.

        Fees charged for commercial film and photography would be retained
    by the Forest Service for the purpose of enhancing national forest
    recreational opportunities, increasing watershed and habitat
    conservation and restoration, and administration and management of
    special uses on National Forest System lands. Funds are available until
    expended, with the authority to spend one year after funds were
    collected.

        Legislation would require the collection of market values for
    special use permits for linear rights-of-way special uses, such as
    powerlines and pipelines. Increased fee collections, above the 2000
    collections would be retained by the Forest Service for the purpose of
    enhancing national forest recreational opportunities, increasing
    watershed and habitat conservation and restoration, and administration
    and management of special uses on National Forest System lands. Funds
    are available until expended, with the authority to spend one year after
    funds were collected.

        Proposed legislation would require all timber sales to be sold using
    the sealed bidding method, rather than open bids as is now the case in
    some places. The change would enhance the opportunities for achieving
    market value for timber sales on federal lands. A waiver permitting open
    bids would be available as determined by the Forest Service Chief where
    oral auction would yield higher bids.

        The Working Capital Fund is a self-sustaining revolving fund that
    provides services to National Forests, to Research Experiment Stations,
    to other Federal agencies when necessary, to State and private agencies
    as provided by law, and to persons who cooperate with the Forest Service
    in fire control and other authorized programs.

        Forestry-related supply and support services include:

        Equipment Services.--The fund owns, operates, maintains, replaces,
    and repairs common-use, motor-driven, and similar equipment. This
    equipment is rented to administrative units, that is, National Forests,
    Research Experiment Stations, and other units, and, in some cases, to
    other agencies, at rates which recover the cost of operation, repair and
    maintenance, management, and depreciation. The rates also include an
    increment which provides additional cash which, when added to
    depreciation earnings and the residual value of equipment, provides
    sufficient funds to replace the equipment.

        Aircraft Services.--The fund operates, maintains, and repairs Forest
    Service owned aircraft used in fire surveillance and suppression and in
    other Forest Service programs. The aircraft are rented to National
    Forests, Research Experiment Stations, and in some cases to other
    agencies, at rates which recover the cost of depreciation, operation,
    maintenance, repair, and improvements in the airworthiness of the
    aircraft. Aircraft replacement costs are financed from either
    appropriated funds or the Forest Service Working Capital Fund, or a
    combination of both.

        Computer Services.--The Fund provides computer hardware, software,
    and radio equipment.

        Supply Services.--The fund operates the following common services,
    and provides for cost-recovery of Working Capital Fund Program
    Management:

        Photo reproduction laboratories that store, reproduce, and supply
    aerial photographs, aerial maps, and other photographs of National
    Forest lands. Photographic reproductions are sold to National Forests,
    Experiment Stations, and others at cost.

        Sign shops that manufacture and supply special signs for the
    National Forests for use in regulating traffic and as information to the
    public and other users of the National Forests. Signs are sold to
    National Forests and Experiment Stations at cost.

        Seed supply services that provide tree seed for direct seeding or
    sowing in nurseries for the production of trees. Includes purchase or
    collection of cones, extraction of seeds, cleaning and testing, and
    storage and delivery. Operates in conjunction with tree nurseries; that
    is, forest tree nurseries and cold storage facilities for storage of
    tree seedlings. Tree seedlings are sold to National Forests, State
    foresters, and other cooperators at cost.
