    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

[[Page 59]]

tions language blocks the use of the 2000 appropriation 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 $60 million for 
2001.

    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.

    This account finances the General Services Administration's fees for 
rental of space and related services. The appropriation covers all fees 
for all regular appropriated accounts within the Department of 
Agriculture with the exception of the Forest Service. This account also 
finances the operation and maintenance of four buildings in the 
Headquarters area.

    Beginning in 1995, the account included funds for USDA's strategic 
space plan. Since then, funds were made available for the construction 
and occupancy of an office facility at the Beltsville Agricultural 
Research Center and the design and implementation of a long-term program 
to renovate and modernize the South Building.

    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

    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.''

    Financing.--The Corporation is authorized under the Federal Crop 
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 
economic viability of farmers and ranchers, reducing losses in direct 
loan programs, responding to loan making and servicing requests, and 
maximizing financial and technical assistance to under-served groups. 
Activities include reviewing applications, servicing the loan portfolio, 
and providing technical assistance and guidance to borrowers. These 
administrative expenses are transferred to this consolidated account 
from the ACIF. Appropriations representing subsidy amounts necessary to 
support the individual program loan levels under Federal Credit Reform 
are made to the ACIF account.

    Other Reimbursable Activities.--FSA collects a fee or is reimbursed 
for performing a variety of services for other Federal agencies, CCC, 
industry, and others, including certain administrative support services 
for the Risk Management Agency and the Foreign Agricultural Service, and 
for county office services provided to Federal and non-Federal entities, 
including a variety of services to producers.

    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

dated Appropriations Act, P.L. 106-113, enacted November 29, 1999. The

    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:

                       programs of the corporation

    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.

[[Page 106]]

    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.

    Loan operations.--The following table reflects commodity loan 
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

[[Page 108]]

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:

    The Corporation receives appropriations or reimbursement for the 
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 
for foreign currencies or for dollars (title I, of P.L. 480).

    (2) Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad 
(title II, of P.L. 480).

    (3) Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad 
(title III, of P.L. 480).

(Food for Progress Act of 1985).

                                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.''

snow surveys in western states are used in making efficient seasonal use 
of water for irrigation, flood control, fish and wildlife, recreation, 
power generation, municipal and industrial water supply, and water 
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.

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.

projects:

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 
targeted towards special forestry and site preparation.

    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.

                (Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)

    Legislation will be proposed to transfer $50 million annually from 
the Commodity Credit Corporation to finance the program. This proposal 
is not reflected in the database due to an error. However, 2001 outlays 
would be $13 million, and 111 FTEs would be funded through this 
increase.

    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

    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

    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.

    This account provides grants for 5 rural empowerment zones and 20 
rural enterprise communities that are entities designated under section 
1391(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, to continue a second round 
of the empowerment zone program in rural areas. Funds for the rural 
enterprise communities are not for tax treatment under the Internal 
Revenue Code. Second round EZ/EC recipients were designated in January 
1999. Legislation will be proposed to provide mandatory funding in 2001 
and the out years for these recipients.

    Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized under

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.

    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 programs is funded through the Rural 
Community Advancement Program. Loans made prior to 1992 are recorded in 
the Rural Development Insurance Fund Liquidating Account.

    Direct business and industry 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.

    This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who in turn 
relend the funds to small rural businesses, community development 
corporations, and other organizations for the purpose of improving 
economic opportunities in rural areas. Through the use of local 
intermediaries, this program serves small-scale enterprises and gives 
preference to those communities with the greatest need.

    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, 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.

    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.

    This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who in turn 
relend the funds to small rural businesses, community development 
corporations, or other organizations for the purpose of improving 
economic opportunities in rural areas. Through the use of local 
intermediaries, this program serves small-scale enterprises and gives 
preference to those communities with the greatest need.

    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.

    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 
and the Quality samples program will receive mandatory funding from CCC, 
administered by FAS.

    The new Quality samples program will provide samples of U.S. 
agricultural products to foreign importers to display the high quality 
of U.S. products.

    As authorized by the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance 
Act of 1954 (Public Law 480), as amended, USDA uses foreign currencies 
to support research on problems of mutual interest to the United States 
and participating foreign countries. After 1991 no new foreign currency 
programs have been or are proposed to be initiated.

                                


 
                       FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

    The funds and facilities of the Commodity Credit Corporation may, by 
law, be used in carrying out programs to encourage the export of

    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 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.

    Public Law 104-134 established this appropriation, for the period 
1996 through 2002, to provide assistance to employ former timber workers 
in Wrangell and Sitka and for related community development projects in 
Sitka, Wrangell, Ketchican, and selected organized boroughs in Southeast 
Alaska. Distribution to the unorganized boroughs was based on the 
proportion of 1995 timber receipts from each borough.

    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.
