The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996
Act) initially established the Fund for Rural America to provide support
to rural communities across the United States.
The 1996 Farm Bill authorized $100 million for the Fund in each of
1997, 1999, and 2000.
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.
[[Page 65]]
For 2001, the first year availability of the 2001 appropriation for
the Fund for Rural America was blocked. Further, of the $60 million in
2000 carryover funds, the Secretary may spend only $30 million in 2001.
The remaining 2000 appropriation of $30 million is available in 2002 for
any activities authorized under section 793. In 2001, the Secretary
allocated $20 million of the available $30 million in funding to support
rural business grants, outreach for socially disadvantaged producers,
farm labor loans and other ongoing rural development activities. Another
$10 million is being used to support research, education, and extension
proposals that: (1) develop and apply new knowledge about processes of
holistic, community-led development and the interdependence between
agriculture and rural development, including understanding the dynamic
connections among farms, businesses, families and communities and
assisting with collaborative problem solving; and (2) address the
changing demographics of agriculture and rural America and the resultant
impacts on rural economies.
The 2002 budget proposes that the $60 million in 2001 funds be
available in 2003. The 2002 budget also proposes blocking the first year
availability of the $60 million in 2002 funding. The 2002 funds will be
available in 2003. The specific appropriations language for these
funding changes is included as part of the General Provisions.

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 planning guidance and technical assistance for cyber
security, implements measures to ensure that technology investments are
economical and effective, and implements standards and oversight to
promote secure 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,
Office of the Chief Financial Officer, and Executive Operations. OCIO
also has direct management responsibility for the information technology
component of the Service Center Modernization Initiative (SCMI). This
includes the implementation of a common technology infrastructure to
replace the outdated and stove-piped systems currently supporting the
Farm Service

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 passed new
legislation in 2000, ``The Freedom to E-File Act,'' that requires
agencies to make more services available to the public electronically.
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 implement 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 some CCE
Investments, the reengineering of business processes and data
acquisition needed to maximize the benefits of this technology.

Outreach for Socially Disadvantaged Farmers 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 will provide outreach, training, and technical assistance
on sound farm management and production, crop diversification, marketing
practices, farm accounting, and recordkeeping. The overall objective of
the program is to enhance the ability of socially disadvantaged
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.

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 46 field offices
serving the 50 States and Puerto Rico; most of these offices are
operated as joint State and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements
with State agencies provide additional State and county data. The 2002
program includes enhancements for improvements to the computer security
architecture.
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. A proposed increase reflects funding of 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).

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 2002, the Service proposes increased emphases for critical
research needs in agriculture, such as: Emerging and exotic diseases,
Invasive species, biobased products and new uses, Agricultural genome
and bioinformatic tools, and Biotechnology risk assessment. In 2000, the
Service submitted 64 new patent applications, participated in 69 new
Cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs), licensed 24
new products, and developed 70 new plant varieties to release to
industry for further development and marketing.
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 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
[[Page 78]]
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:
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.
[[Page 80]]
Crops at risk from FQPA implementation.--Funding will support the
development of multi-tactic IPM strategies. Grant opportunities will be
available to colleges and universities.
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.
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.

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 2000 appropriations language
blocked the use of 2000 funds in 2000. However, these funds were
available in 2001. The 2001 appropriations language blocked the use of
2001 funds in 2001. The 2002 budget allows the use of 2001 funds, but
blocks the use of $120 million of 2002 funds in 2002. However, these
funds would be available in 2003.

Note.--In 2001 and 2002 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. 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.
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
[[Page 82]]
chemical and drug residues in food products by half. These pest
management programs will be coordinated to address Food Quality and
Protection Act issues. The IR-4 and IPM programs are contained under
improved pest control funding. Improved pest control also includes Pest
Management Alternatives, Critical Issues, and Expert IPM Decision
Support System Programs. A 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.--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.
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.--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 Native American institutions, Alaska Native-serving
and Native Hawaiian-serving Institutions, and Secondary Agriculture
Education and 2-year Post-secondary programs. 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 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 2001 and 2002 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 mag
[[Page 84]]
nify 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 2002 funding has been requested for: the Expanded Food and
Nutrition Education Program, pest management, rural development centers,
children, youth and families at risk, a youth farm safety education and
certification pilot project, extension services on Indian reservations,
sustainable agriculture, 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
[[Page 86]]
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.

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 is a priority of the Administration, and
the 2002 budget proposes a $20 million increase for inspection of meat,
poultry, shell egg and egg products. This increase will cover pay cost
increases for Federal and State inspection programs, and initiatives
for: Continued improvements toward a science-driven, risk-based food
safety program, and strengthening international market access.
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.

====================================
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 Office of International Affairs 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 2002, 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.

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 2005.
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,
decentralization of processing, growth of interregional competition,
vertical integration, and contract farming.
In 2002, $1 million has been included to support cooperative efforts
with various international organizations that are using or developing
new international commodity standards. Also in 2002, $4 million has been
included to provide quality assurance in biotechnology testing services
to differentiate bio-engineered from conventional crops in the seed,
fruit, and vegetable industries.
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.
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, popcorn, blueberries, avocado, olive
oil, peanut, and promoflor; (2) the Federal Seed Act; and (3) the
administration of the Capper-Volstead Act and the Agricultural Fair
Practices Act.
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 certifies 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.
The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 provided $30 million
for replenishment of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act Fund.

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.
The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 provided $29 million
for replenishment of the trust fund account; and $12 million to improve
the infrastructure and system used for inspecting fruits and vegetables,
including improved inspector training and technical resources for
inspectors.

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
[[Page 97]]
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 2002 budget includes an additional $8 million
to support the implementation of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of
2000 (P.L. 106-224).
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 $100 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
$30 per crop, 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
[[Page 99]]
income and are offered through private insurance companies. For 1999, a
Group Risk Income Protection plan was developed 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 III of the Dairy Options Pilot Program
(DOPP) during 2001 which includes reaching producers in a total of 275
counties in 39 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.
On June 20, 2000, the President signed into law the Agriculture Risk
Protection Act of 2000 (ARPA) with provisions that invest $7 billion
over five years to further improve Federal crop insurance. ARPA amended
the Federal Crop Insurance Act to strengthen the safety net for
agricultural producers by providing greater access to more affordable
risk management tools and improved protection from production and income
loss. Due to this legislation, RMA will improve basic products by
implementing higher premium subsidies to make buy-up coverage more
affordable for producers; make adjustments in actual production history
guarantees; and revise administrative fees for CAT coverage.
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 2000, 205.1 million acres were insured, with an
estimated $2,517 million in total premium income, including $1,076
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.

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 tobacco 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 coun
[[Page 101]]
ty office employees are not Federal employees, although their salaries
and benefits are fully paid through Federal funds appropriated to this
account.
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
prevent 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 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

Funding of $14 million for the Tree Assistance Program (TAP) was
provided by the 1998 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, P.L.
105-174, for obligation through September 30, 1998. The 1999
Appropriations Act, P.L. 105-277, extended the use of unobligated 1998
TAP funds 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
could receive more than $25,000 per person.
No funding is requested for this program for 2002.

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 2000, annual rental payments, cost-share payments, and technical
assistance for acres enrolled in the program were paid through the
Commodity Credit Corporation. Just over $1 million in unobligated
appropriated funds were available at the end of 2000; these funds are
expected to be exhausted in 2001. Outlays of $20 million in CRP
appropriated funds were made to the Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) for a prior year obligation. In providing technical
assistance, the 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
[[Page 103]]
with land grant universities, State soil and water agencies, State fish
and wildlife agencies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, and others.
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 2000,
there were $17 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 2000, $50 million in supplemental funding was provided by the
2000 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, P.L. 106-113. In
addition, $10 million was provided by the 2000 supplemental division of
the 2001 Military Construction Appropriations Act, P.L. 106-246, enacted
July 13, 2000. These funds are available until expended. Under the 2000
program, cost-sharing and technical assistance were provided in 44
States as well as the Virgin Islands to treat farmlands damaged by
floods, hurricanes, drought, ice storms, tornadoes, and other natural
disasters. The 2000 program rehabilitated approximately 7,624,332 acres
of farmland damaged by these natural disasters.
Title VIII of the 2001 Agriculture Appropriations Act provided $80
million for this program. These funds are available until expended. The
2002 budget proposes no funding. If ECP funds are needed in 2002 to
address an emergency situation, the President proposes to provide these
funds from a National Emergency Reserve.

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 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.
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 2001, $36.4 thousand was paid to producers and manufacturers who
filed claims under the program.
The 2002 budget requests $100 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 2001 and 2002 budget estimates: (a) national
income will rise both in 2001 and 2002 from the present level; (b) 2001
crop production will increase from 2001 crop levels for some
commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2002
are expected to be higher than 2001 levels; (d) yields for the 2001
crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends; (e) acreage
allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect for the 2001 crops of
certain kinds of tobacco; and (f) poundage quotas will be in effect for
the 2001 crop of peanuts. Marketing loan rates for the 2001 crop are
assumed to equal rates for the 2000 crop.
It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the year
ending September 30, 2002, 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
[[Page 110]]
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.
In 2000, a general CRP signup was held from January 18 through
February 11, 2000, (signup 20) in which about 2.34 million acres were
enrolled. Contracts for this acreage begin in 2001 and rental payments
averaging $51 per acre will begin in 2002. CRP continuous signup
acreage, which contributes to the USDA Conservation Buffer Initiative
and the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, is estimated to enroll
4 million acres through 2002. During 2000, about 280,000 acres were
signed up for continuous practices in signups 21 and 22. Technical
assistance for these signups was paid with funds for 2000 provided in
the 1999 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act.
The 2001 Appropriations Act authorized the Secretary to enroll
500,000 acres during 2001 and 2002 for a Farmable Wetlands Pilot Program
and required that the acreage enrolled not reduce the continuous-signup
or CREP acreage.
It is assumed for budgeting purposes that no general signup will be
held in 2001. A one-year contract extension was announced in January
2001 for CRP participants with contracts of original duration of less
than 15 years that are scheduled to expire September 20, 2001.

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 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 receive final
payments by September 30, with an option to receive advances on December
15 or January 15. For 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.
Loan deficiency program revision.--The 2001 Appropriations Act
increased the payment cap for loan deficiency payments and marketing
loan gains from $75,000 to $150,000 for the 2000 crop only for contract
commodities, oilseeds, and honey.
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
[[Page 111]]
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. The 2001
Appropriations Act suspended the TRQ threshold for the 2001 and 2002
crops. For 2000, CCC established a Payment-in-Kind (PIK) Diversion
Program. The 2000 PIK Program used the cost-reduction option of the 1985
Farm Bill to reduce the costs of the Sugar Loan Program. During 2000,
producers submitted 5,022 acceptable bids to participate in the program.
Sugar beet acreage diverted from production totaled 101,833 acres and
resulted in a reduction of about $555 thousand in monthly CCC storage-
related costs.
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.
Noninsured Assistance Program.--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 (NAP),
administered by the Farm Service Agency. As enacted, the program has
been reimbursing producers at the same rates and terms as the
catastrophic program where assistance is triggered by area wide
disasters. However, for 2000, an additional $20 million was provided
without any area loss requirement, to producers located in a county for
which a natural disaster was declared by the Secretary or a major
disaster or emergency was declared by the President. The Agricultural
Risk Protection Act of 2000 (ARPA) eliminated the area loss requirement
for triggering assistance and made other changes including a provision
that all types or varieties of a crop may be considered a single
eligible crop for NAP assistance. The ARPA also authorizes the
collection of service fees.
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 Appropriations Act
extended the price support program through calendar year 2000 at the
$9.90 per hundred-weight support level. The 2001 Appropriations Act
extended the price support program to December 31, 2001, at the $9.90
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 Appropriations Act
postponed the start of the Dairy Recourse Loan Program until January 1,
2001. The 2001 Appropriations Act again postponed the implementation of
the Dairy Recourse Loan Program, until January 1, 2002. The program will
assist dairy processors in managing their inventories of eligible dairy
products and assure a greater degree of price stability for the dairy
industry. The program is a transition between the Dairy Price Support
Program that has been in effect since 1949 and the dairy industry
functioning with no Governmental intervention in a global economy. Dairy
processors acquire their milk from dairy farmers that manufacture these
eligible dairy products. The program indirectly assists dairy farmers
similar to the Dairy price Support Program. The Food Security Act of
1985, as amended (the 1985 Act), authorizes the Dairy Export Incentive
Program (DEIP) through calendar year 2002. The DEIP provides subsidies
to exporters of U.S. dairy products to help them compete with other
subsidizing nations.
Emergency Livestock Feed Assistance.--The 2000 appropriations act
allows for not less than $200 million to be provided to livestock
producers affected by disasters.
The 2001 Appropriations Act also provided $490 million to make and
administer payments for livestock losses using the criteria established
to carry out the 1999 LAP to producers for 2000 losses in a county which
received an emergency designation after January 1, 2000. Of this amount,
$40 million is designated for the Pasture Recovery Program, $12 million
will be used for the American Indian Livestock Feed Program, and $438
million will be used for LAP and other assistance mandated by the 2001
Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 106-554.
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 and
2000 crops.
Livestock Indemnity Program, Livestock Assistance Program, and Dairy
Market Loss Assistance.--The 2000 appropriations act provided $200
million in assistance to livestock producers for losses incurred in 1999
due to drought or other natural disasters. The funds were used to
implement a Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) and a Livestock Assistance
Program (LAP). The 2001 Appropriations Act provided $10 million to make
LIP payments to producers on farms that have incurred livestock losses
during calendar year 2000 due to a disaster, including losses due to
fires and anthrax.
Dairy Market Loss Assistance II Program.--Provisions of this program
were implemented on January 19, 2000. U.S. dairy producers were
experiencing a decline in the basic formula price, which is used by the
Federal milk marketing order system to set manufacturing, and is the
price mover for fluid milk. Under the 2000 appropriations act, $125
million was made available to dairy producers. The 2001 appropriations
act authorized payments equal to 35 percent of the reduction in market
value of milk per unit compared to the previous five year average with
payments to be made on CY 2000 production.
Emergency and Market Loss Assistance.--Under provisions of Title XI,
Subtitle A, this assistance is provided fairly and equitably to
producers who have incurred crop and livestock losses in all affected
geographic regions of the United States. The Secretary may determine (1)
one or more loss thresholds producers on a farm must incur, with respect
to a crop, to be eligible for assistance, (2) the payment rate for crop
and livestock feed losses incurred, and (3) eligibility and payment
limitation criteria. This is in addition to AMTA and NAP (crop insurance
indemnities provided for the 1998 crops under the Federal Crop Insurance
Act, and emergency loans available for 1998 crops under subtitle C of
the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act).
[[Page 112]]
Crop Loss Assistance.--The 2000 Appropriations Act made available
$1.2 billion to producers for 1999 crop losses and other prorgrams. The
2000 Omnibus Appropriation Act increased the amount available to
producers for 1999 crop losses by $186 million for a total of $1.334
billion. The 2001 Appropriations Act authorized such sums as are
necessary for payments based on provisions similar to prior year
programs.
Market Loss Assistance.--Of the balance remaining from amounts
authorized for 1998 and 1999 market loss assistance payments, $4.7
million was transferred to APHIS to reimburse AMS for livestock
reporting, $79.1 million was used for cottonseed support, and $10
million will be used for ELS cotton competitiveness payments.
The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 made $5,465 million
available for market loss assistance payments to farmers who were
eligible under the 1996 Act for 2000 final production flexibility
contract payments. Payments of $5,457 million were made during 2000.
Other Disaster Assistance.--Under the 2001 Appropriations Act, other
assistance is provided during 2001, as follows (These numbers reflect
the 0.22 percent rescission mandated by P.L. 106-554):
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Authorized
Program amount (in

Under the 2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 106-554,
Montana received $299 thousand and Alabama received just under $5
million for transportation needs associated with their emergency
livestock haying and feeding programs. These assistance amounts
incorporate the 0.22 percent rescission.
Seniors' Farmers Market Nutrition Pilot Program.--In 2001, the
Secretary awarded nearly $15 million in grants to help more than 370,000
low-income seniors in 31 States, four Indian Tribal Governments and one
Indian Tribal Organization to buy fresh produce at farmers markets. The
purposes of this new initiative are to provide resources in the form of
fresh, nutritious, unprepared, locally grown fruits, vegetables, and
herbs to low-income seniors, increase domestic consumption of
agricultural commodities by expanding or aiding the expansion of
domestic markets, and develop new domestic farmers markets, roadside
stands, and community supported agriculture programs. The Food and
Nutrition Service manages the program.
Bioenergy Program.--The 2002 Budget assumes that CCC will provide
incentive payments, under the new Bioenergy Program, to ethanol,
biodiesel, and other bioenergy producers to expand production of bio-
based fuels. Payments will be made on a portion of the increase in
agricultural commodities purchased for expanded bioenergy production,
with smaller and cooperatively-owned facilities receiving higher payment
rates. A $150 million program level is estimated for 2001 and 2002. This
program is authorized by the CCC Charter Act.
Agricultural Management Assistance Program.--The Agricultural Risk
Protection Act of 2000 authorized CCC funding of $10 million for 2001
and subsequent years to provide grants to qualified public and private
entities for the purpose of educating agricultural producers about the
full range of risk management activities, including futures, options,
agricultural trade options, crop insurance, cash forward contracting,
debt reduction, production diversification, farm resources risk
reduction, and other risk management strategies. The Secretary delegated
authority to Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management
Agency, and the Agricultural Marketing Service.
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
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
1999, 2000 and 2001 program levels have been limited to $174 million by
the appropriations acts. The 2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L.
106-554, then provided $26 million in contingent emergency funds, with
$57 thousand rescinded, making $199.9 million the total amount available
in 2001. In 2002, $174 million is proposed for EQIP.
The Farmland Protection Program (FPP) authorizes the Secretary to
assist State, local, and tribal governments and nonprofit organizations
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 2000 Appropriations Act provided $250,000 for the
use in the state of New Hampshire. The Agricultural Risk Protection Act
of 2000 provided for payments using CCC funds totaling $10 million for
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.
Section 211(b) of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000
provides an additional $40 million for soil and water conservation
assistance to provide financial assistance to farmers and ranchers to
address a wide range of threats to soil, water and related natural
resources. The 2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act gave the Secretary
the authority to reallocate these funds to WHIP or FPP; $8 million in
[[Page 113]]
additional funds was provided for FPP, bringing its total 2001 funding
level to $18 million, and $12 million was allocated to WHIP.
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 were incurred in 1997-2001. In 1999-2001, appropriations
acts precluded operations of the CFO. In 2002, funds are not requested
for the CFO.
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.
The 2001 Appropriations Act raised the enrollment cap by 100,000
acres to 1,075,000 acres from the previous cap of 975,000 acres. It is
estimated that 140,000 acres will enroll in 2001, reaching the 1,075,000
acre limitation. No additional acres will enroll in 2002.
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 purchased 5
million metric tons of wheat in the course of 1999 and 2000, which was
subsequently used for donation purposes under Section 416(b) of the
Agricultural Act of 1949. A portion of this amount was a part of the
comprehensive U.S. food aid package to Russia, as announced by the
President in November 1998. An estimated 1,700,000 metric tons were
shipped to Russia during 1999 and 2000. The program included purchases
of primarily wheat and wheat flour. In the 2002 budget, CCC-owned
commodities will be available for the regular Section 416(b) program
when inventory stocks are available. Commodities will be shipped in 2001
to complete Section 416(b) programming approved during 2000 and to
provide for new 2001 programming, including programming for the
President's Global Food for Education Initiative which currently
consists of 632,533 metric tons of commodities.
The Flood Compensation Program was authorized in the Agricultural
Risk Protection Act of 2000. $24 million of CCC will be used to
compensate producers for the loss of cropland or pastureland due to
long-term flooding. This program provides assistance for producers who
are experiencing losses due to flooding but were not compensated by the
Flood Compensation Program authorized by the 1998 Omnibus Appropriation.
Supply and foreign purchases.--The Corporation can procure from
domestic and foreign sources food, agricultural commodities, 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. The
Budget assumes that CCC will purchase commodities for use in the Food
for Progress program at a level that can be supported within the annual
$30 million limitation on Food for Progress ocean transportation and
other non-commodity expenses. An estimated 218,000 metric tons of
commodities valued at about $61 million will be shipped in 2001.

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 1996,
and $275 million for the six-year period including 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. At the end of 2000, CCC had $2 million to carry forward to
2001. The remaining funds will be exhausted in 2001.
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 1995 were $46 million. The 1995 cap was revised to $36.209
million effective 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:

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 2000, funding for the FMDCP shifted from the Foreign
Agricultural Service annual appropriation to CCC funding. The FMDCP
encourages export promotion and overseas market development activities
of U.S. agricultural products. The 2001 program level is $27.5 million.
Also in 2001, CCC is funding the Quality Samples Program at an
authorized annual level of $2.5 million. Under this program, samples of
U.S. agricultural products are 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.'' CCC announced on
February 8, 2000, that commodity certificates will be issued in an
effort to discourage producers from forfeiting commodities pledged as
collateral for CCC commodity loans. Certificates are used to repay 1998-
2002 crop marketing assistance loans when the adjusted world price (for
rice and upland cotton) or the posted county price (for wheat, feed
grains, soybeans, and designated minor oilseeds) is lower than the
applicable loan rate.
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 resumed
the program in 2000 due to a current shortage of sufficient storage
space. The estimated direct loan level is $175 million for 2001, $125
million for FY's 2002 and 2003, and $100 million for FY's 2004 through
2006. The cost to the U.S. government (subsidy) for the FSFL program is
estimated using procedures stipulated by the Federal Credit Reform Act
of 1990.

The Budget proposes to block $26 million in authorized funding for
the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), bringing its total
funding level to $174 million. The Budget also cuts the Conservation
Farm Option program by $62.5 million in order to gain discretionary
savings, which has been done each year since the program was authorized.
Savings from both programs will be used to fund higher priority
discretionary activities.

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 2002 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 was implemented in 2000 by CCC under
Section 504(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. This program
provides 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.
Technical assistance targeted towards nutrient management and water
quality concerns associated with animal feeding will continue at the
2001 level of $75 million. These funds will help livestock producers
develop comprehensive nutrient management plans.
Additional funding of up to $44 million shall be available for
technical assistance activities in conjunction with the Conservation
Reserve Program (CRP).

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 on the soil
resources of the Nation's private lands. NRCS provides this information
as electronic and printed publications for use by the American public
and other Federal, State and local agencies in making land-use
decisions. NRCS uses the information for program development, resource
conservation planning, and installation of planned practices. NRCS
provides national leadership for the National Cooperative Soil Survey
and digitizing of 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 survey water forecasting.--Water supply forecasts prepared from
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
NRCS 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 2002, $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.
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
published a draft programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) for
public review and comment 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. NRCS will also consider these EIS
comments in making any necessary revisions to its regulations.
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 more environmentally beneficial, with higher investment
returns to society. High priority P.L. 534 projects are also eligible to
compete 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.
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 2002.

Under this program, the Department assists States, local units of
government, groups and individuals in developing 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, 2000, there were 1,665 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.
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 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.
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 2001. For 2002, 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 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) and the
Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and
Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 2001 (P.L. 106-387). 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. 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 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug
Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 2001 (P.L. 106-
387) provided the Secretary of Agriculture discretionary authority to
use funding provided under the Agriculture Risk Protection Act of 2000
for WHIP; the Secretary designated $12 million for the program in 2001.
NRCS and the participant enter into a cost-share agreement for
wildlife habitat development. This agreement generally lasts from 5 to
10 years from the date the agreement is signed. WHIP funds are
distributed to states based on state wildlife habitat priorities which
may include: wildlife habitat areas; targeted species and their
habitats; and specific practices. Partnerships with other entities are
preferred: WHIP may be implemented in cooperation with other Federal,
State, or local agencies, conservation districts, or private
conservation groups. State priorities are developed through a locally
led process to identify wildlife resource needs and are finalized in
consultation with the State Technical Committee.

This experimental Rural Clean Water Program, authorized by Public
Law 96-108 and Public Law 96-528, was a cooperative endeavor among
farmers, various USDA agencies, and 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 payments have been
made and the program will be closed out in 2001. Similar activities will
be carried out through the mandatory Environmental Quality Incentives
Program.

In 2001, a new consolidated Salaries and Expenses account was
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). The result is 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 were deleted and
any obligated and unobligated balances available from prior years were
transferred to and merged with the Rural Development account.
The program functions of the Rural Development agencies were not
affected by this administrative change. The three agencies, which were
all formed as a result of the Secretary's 1995 reorganization plan,
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 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. 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 exten
[[Page 134]]
sion 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
20,000 population, such as hospitals and fire stations.
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. For 2002, no funds are requested for direct loans, and the fee on
guaranteed loans will be raised to 3.25 percent (2.25 percent for
targeted areas), which is reflected in the 2.74 subsidy rate.
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.

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.'' Section 514 domestic farm labor housing loans are
included under this heading until 2001. Starting in 2001, they are
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.

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 three years of the authorized ten-
year for EZ/EC's designated as part of the second round of this
initiative was provided through the 1999, 2000 and 2001 appropriation
acts.
The flexible grant funding is available for a wide variety of
community and economic development purposes that link human capital
needs with economic development initiatives. The purposes may include
revolving loan funds for business capitalization or community
development, job training and job counseling, infrastructure investment,
home ownership and home ownership counseling, health care and related
facilities, child care and administrative costs linked to redevelopment
efforts.
Similar to the first round, the second round was a multi-year effort
based on a comprehensive development plan involving community residents,
the private sector, the non-profit community and local, State and
Federal governments. Experience from the initial round of urban and
rural designations demonstrates significant successes that are
stimulating billions of dollars in private sector investment, reviving
communities that had given up hope for economic opportunity and creating
thousands of jobs, moving people from dependency to active participation
in the economy. Round two is built on the successes of the initial
round.

Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized under
section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act by
Public Law 104-127, April 4, 1996. These grants are made available to
nonprofit corporations and institutions of higher education to fund the
establishment and operation of centers for rural cooperative
development. The primary purpose of the centers is the improvement of
economic conditions of rural areas through the development of new
cooperatives and improving operations of existing cooperatives. RBS can
fund up to 75 percent of any project and associated administrative costs
and requires at least a 25 percent matching share from the applicant
which must be from non-Federal sources.
The Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas (ATTRA) program
was first authorized by the Food Security 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.
[[Page 145]]
Grants for value-added agricultural product market development were
authorized under section 231 of the Agriculture Risk Protection Act of
2000, Public Law 106-224, June 20, 2000. These grants are made available
to independent producers of agricultural commodities and products of
agricultural commodities to facilitate greater participation in markets
for value-added agricultural commodities and facilitate the opening of
new markets for value-added products. In addition, funds are available
to a nonprofit corporation or institution of higher education to fund a
pilot project, known as the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center. This
pilot center is to have the capabilities, including electronic
capabilities, to collect, disseminate, coordinate, and provide
information on value-added processing to independent producers and
processors of value-added agricultural commodities and products of
agricultural commodities. RBS can fund up to 50 percent of any project
and associated administrative costs and requires at least a 50 percent
matching share from the applicant which must be from non-Federal
sources.

This grant program is authorized under section 313 of the Rural
Electrification Act, as amended, and provides funds for the purpose of
promoting rural economic development and job creation projects,
including funding for project feasibility studies, start-up costs,
incubator projects and other expenses for the purpose of fostering rural
development.
Funding for this program is provided from the interest differential
on Rural Utilities Service borrowers' cushion of credit accounts. The
budget requests that the funds derived from the interest on the cushion
of credit payments be rescinded by the amount of the subsidy needed for
the rural economic development loans. Therefore very little if any funds
derived from the interest on the cushion of credit payments will be
available for the grant program in 2002.

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 was provided in 2001 to help the domestic lamb
industry adjust to foreign competition. No additional funds are
requested in 2002.

Funding was provided in 2001 to support grants for areas that have
high energy costs. These grants can be made to eligible entities or the
Denali Commission to construct, extend, upgrade, and otherwise improve
energy generation, transmission, or distribution facilities serving
communities in which the average residential expenditure for home energy
is at least 275 percent of the national average residential expenditure
for home energy (as determined by the Energy Information Agency using
the most recent data available). Grants are also available to establish
and support a revolving fund to provide a more cost-effective means of
purchasing fuel where the fuel cannot be shipped by means of surface
transportation.

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 and guaranteed loans obligated

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 salaries and expenses will be transferred from the
unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating account in 2002.
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. The President's budget proposes that the Rural
Telephone Bank make no more Federally-funded loans.
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
continuing a program, subject to authorization, 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

This program would fund $2 million in grants and $100 million in
Treasury-rate loans in 2002 to be used in a grant/loan combination to
finance installation of broadband transmission capacity (i.e. the fiber
optic cable capacity needed to provide enhanced services such as the
Internet or high speed modems) for rural communities. The other purpose
for which a loan and grant combination would be provided is local dialup
Internet service to under-served areas. These funds could be targeted to
communities that currently lack Internet access via a local call.
Recipients of these loans and grants would be current Rural Utilities
Service telecommunication cooperatives and businesses serving rural
areas and communities. Legislation will be proposed to provide authority
to create a Broadband loan and grant program.

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 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. For
2002, the budget includes an increase of $1 million to strengthen FAS
expertise for resolving technical trade issues with foreign trading
partners.
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 16 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 are 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. The Quality samples program provides
samples of U.S. agricultural products to foreign importers to help
overcome marketing trade barriers. 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
[[Page 165]]
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. For 2002, the budget provides an increase of
$3 million to strengthen FAS's overseas market intelligence
capabilities.
Financial Marketing Assistance: FAS administers a number of price/
credit and risk assistance programs designed to leverage overseas market
expansion for U.S. agricultural, fish, and forest products. These
programs include CCC Export Credit Guarantee Programs, export subsidy
programs, including the Export Enhancement Program and Dairy Export
Incentive 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 by mobilizing expertise for
agriculturally led economic growth in developing countries. FAS provides
linkages to world resources and international organizations to
facilitate new technologies that are vital to improving the agricultural
demand base and producing new alternative products. Direct program
activities include administering the Cochran Fellowship program and
managing USDA's bilateral exchange and cooperative research programs
with foreign governments and institutions.
FAS also administers food assistance activities such as Public Law
480, Title I; Food for Progress; and Section 416(b) programs. P.L. 480
Title I food aid is designed to help developing nations make the
transition from donations and concessional financing to cash purchases
while assisting them in feeding their undernourished people. The
Emerging Markets Program, under which technical assistance and related
activities are carried out in emerging markets, is aimed at enhancing
developing countries' food and rural business systems and expanding U.S.
agricultural exports. Food for Progress provides food to developing
countries and emerging democracies that have made commitments to
introduce or expand free enterprise into their agricultural economies.
Section 416(b) provides overseas donations of surplus commodities owned
by the CCC to assist developing and friendly countries. Section 416(b)'s
main activity in 2001, the Humanitarian food aid initiative, was
announced in July 1998 to feed needy people overseas while boosting farm
income by exporting U.S. commodity surpluses.
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.

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.
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 intro
[[Page 171]]
duce and expand free enterprise elements in their agricultural
economies.

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.

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 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, heritage, and wilderness; wildlife
and fisheries habitat management; grazing management; forest products;
vegetation and watershed management; minerals and geology management;
landownership management; and law enforcement operations. These programs
maintain the capability to manage natural resources in a manner
consistent with ecological principles and responsibilities.
Consistent with recommendations of the National Academy of Public
Administration and the General Accounting Office, the Administration
will review and start to implement streamlining and efficiency-enhancing
measures for the Forest Service's field structure, work force, and
administrative operation to get more resources for ``on-the-ground''
activities.

Funding provides for capital improvement 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 improvement 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 Improvement includes: 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 improvement and maintenance of roads.
The program also focuses on decommissioning unneeded roads and/or roads
that are degrading the ecosystem. Capital improvement includes: 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 improvement and maintenance of trails.
Capital improvement includes: 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.
The 2001 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act's Title
VIII, the ``Land Conservation, Preservation, and Infrastructure
Improvement'' program, recognizes and provides for, among an array of
national priorities, a mechanism to significantly increase funding to
ameliorate the backlog in deferred maintenance of National Forest System
roads and trails as well as Forest Service fire, administrative, and
recreation facilities. The funds focus on critical maintenance backlogs;
i.e., these additional funds are for repair and rehabilitation of
existing facilities and roads; funds may not be used for new and
expanded facilities or roads.

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. Research is the key to sustaining our
forest and rangeland productivity and health while addressing natural
resource needs. Forest and Rangeland Research is conducted through six
Forest and Range Experiment Station headquarters and their research work
units, 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 developing measurement systems for
assessing watershed integrity, applying measurement systems for
watershed assessment, and providing information about compatible forest
uses. Additional funding in this budget will emphasize priority fire
management control strategies; 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.

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. Funds are also requested to
repay the Antideficiency Act violation of $274 million committed in
2000.
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 and are also used to support the Joint
fire sciences program.
The funds provided continue a strong focus on implementation of the
National fire plan to protect and manage the impact of wildfires on
communities and the environment. In addition to funds specifically for
hazardous fuels reduction, fire suppression, and fire readiness,
additional funding is provided to continue the restoration of fire-
related facilities, fire research, and rehabilitation activities.
Additionally, funds are provided to enhance state and private programs
that will contribute to cooperative fire assistance, increased fire
department readiness, incentive programs to encourage use of small
diameter wood, and forest health programs to reduce fire risk. Funds
would also be available to support Fish and Wildlife Service and
National Marine Fisheries Service consultation for project and
Endangered Species Act review.

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.

prescription drugs because the medicines that they need are
unaffordable in the United States.

that are comparable to prices for such medicines in other countries,

standard for safety and effectiveness that has been established and
maintained in the United States.

[SEC. 776. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS; HAMILTON GRANGE, NEW YORK.]
[(a) Congress finds that--
(1) Alexander Hamilton, assisted by James Madison and George
Washington, was the principal drafter of the Constitution of the
United States;
(2) Hamilton was General Washington's aide-de-camp during the
Revolutionary War, and, given command by Washington of the New York
and Connecticut light infantry battalion, led the successful assault
on British redoubt number 10 at Yorktown;
(3) after serving as Secretary of the Treasury, Hamilton founded
the Bank of New York and the New York Post;
(4) the only home Hamilton ever owned, commonly known as ``the
Grange'', is a fine example of Federal period architecture designed
by New York architect John McComb, Jr., and was built in upper
Manhattan in 1803;
[[Page 197]]
(5) the New York State Assembly enacted a law in 1908
authorizing New York City to acquire the Grange and move it to
nearby St. Nicholas Park, part of the original Hamilton estate, but
no action was taken;
(6) in 1962, the National Park Service took over management of
the Grange, by then wedged on Convent Avenue within inches between
an apartment house on the north side and a church on the south side;
(7) the 1962 designation of the Grange as a national memorial
was contingent on the acquisition by the National Park Service of a
site to which the building could be relocated;
(8) the New York State legislature enacted a law in 1998 that
granted approval for New York City to transfer land in St. Nicholas
Park to the National Park Service, causing renovations to the Grange
to be postponed; and
(9) no obelisk, monument, or classical temple along the national
mall has been constructed to honor the man who more than any other
designed the Government of the United States, Hamilton should at
least be remembered by restoring his home in a sylvan setting.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) Alexander Hamilton made an immense contribution to the
United States by serving as a principal drafter of the Constitution;
and
(2) the National Park Service should expeditiously--
(A) proceed to relocate the Grange to St. Nicholas Park;
and
(B) restore the Grange to a state befitting the memory
of Alexander Hamilton.]
[SEC. 777. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR LAND ACQUISITION FOR FALLEN TIMBERS
BATTLEFIELD AND FORT MIAMIS NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE.]
[(a) In General.--Section 4 of the Fallen Timbers Battlefield and
Fort Miamis National Historic Site Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-164; 16
U.S.C. 461 note) is amended by adding at the end the following:

``(1) In general.--The Secretary may provide financial
assistance to the management entity for acquiring lands or interests
in lands within the boundaries of the historic site under subsection
(b).
``(2) Cost sharing.--Financial assistance under this subsection
