    The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 required the establishment of a Chief 
Information Officer (CIO) for all major Federal agencies. The Act 
requires USDA to maximize the value of information technology 
acquisitions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of USDA 
programs. 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).

    The CIO serves as the primary advisor to the Secretary and Mission 
Area Heads in these areas. OCIO provides leadership for the Department's 
information and information technology (IT) management activities in 
support of USDA's program delivery.

    OCIO is leading USDA's E-Government efforts, in coordination with 
the Presidential E-Government Initiatives, to transform the Department's 
delivery of information, programs, and services using E-Government 
channels. OCIO is designing the Department's Enterprise Architecture to 
efficiently support USDA's move towards E-Government by leveraging 
economies-of-scale to acquire and share data and supporting IT 
applications and infrastructure. OCIO is strengthening USDA's Computer 
Security Program to mitigate threats to USDA's information and IT assets 
and support the Department's Homeland Security efforts. OCIO continues 
to facilitate the USDA IT Capital Planning and Control investment review 
process by providing guidance and support to the Department's Executive 
IT Investment Review Board, which approves all major technology 
investments to ensure they economically and effectively support program 
delivery.

    Funded through the USDA Working Capital Fund, OCIO provides 
automated data processing (ADP) and wide-area telecommunications 
services to all USDA agencies through the National Information 
Technology Center and the Telecommunications Services and Operations 
organization, with locations in Ft. Collins, Colorado, Kansas City, 
Missouri, and Washington, D.C.

    OCIO also has direct management and service responsibility for the 
IT component of the Service Center Agencies' computing and 
telecommunications infrastructure. This includes the implementation of a 
common technology infrastructure to replace the outdated and stove-piped 
systems supporting the Farm Service Agency, the Natural Resources 
Conservation Service, and Rural Development.

    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. The USDA Service Center Modernization Initiative (SCMI) has 
been working to restructure county field offices, modernize and 
integrate business approaches and replace the current stove-piped 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. A reorganization that combines 
the information technology (IT) staffs of the SCA into one IT 
organization with OCIO went into effect on November 28, 2004. The new 
organization, the Information Technology Services (ITS), replaces a 
network of cross-agency teams used to co-ordinate IT infrastructure 
investment within the SCA and allows for unified management of the IT 
infrastructure. The ITS delivers the following classes of technology 
services: Acquisition and Asset Management, Application Development and 
Deployment, Customer Support and End User Computing, Data Utility, 
Hosting, Security, Telecommunications and Web Services. Service Level 
Agreements (SLAs) that specify performance metrics will be negotiated 
with the SCA for each class of service.

    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 2006 
program includes funding to continue restoration and modernization of 
the Agricultural Estimates program and the continuing development of a 
locality based agricultural county estimates/small area estimation 
program. Both initiatives are designed to strengthen the quality of 
published data.

    Census of Agriculture.--The Census of Agriculture is conducted every 
five years. A proposed increase of $6.5 million due to cyclical 
activities will be used to finalize content; continue mail list 
development; and streamline and upgrade processing systems in 
preparation for the 2007 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 2006, the Service proposes increased emphases for critical 
research needs in agriculture, such as: support for homeland security 
efforts to protect the Nation's food supply (emerging and exotic 
diseases of plants and animals, food safety, and the national plant 
disease recovery system); bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE); air 
and water quality; biobased products and bioenergy; sequencing and 
bioinformatics; nutrition and obesity; genetic resources; controlling 
invasive specifics; climate change; agricultural information services 
and cyber security. Consistent with the 2005 Budget, the 2006 Budget 
also proposes to eliminate funding for unrequested Congressional 
earmarks added to the Service since 2001. In 2004, the Service submitted 
81 new patent applications, participated in 44 new Cooperative research 
and development agreements (CRADAs), licensed 29 new products, and 
developed 57 new plant varieties to release to industry for further 
development and marketing.

    Product Quality/Value Added.--New products, new uses, and value-
added processes that appeal to consumers will create additional demand-
driven need for agricultural production, thus providing more 
opportunities for agricultural producers and businesses. Biobased 
technologies promise new opportunities for energy, industrial and 
pharmacological markets for U.S. farmers. New markets are emerging for 
environmental activities and products that mitigate environmental 
concerns.

    Livestock Production.--Intense competition in global markets 
emphasizes the need for American agriculture to pursue and market higher 
value animal products. Research must respond to consumer demands for 
healthier and safer products to ensure a sustainable and profitable 
livestock production system that produces affordable value-added food, 
fiber, and industrial products. These superior technologies must 
effectively differentiate U.S. agricultural products from competing 
sources and provide customers with value-added processes that enhance 
product quality.

    Crop Production.--ARS will develop and disseminate science-based 
information to provide U.S. crop producers with increased flexibility to 
effectively manage unforeseen risks that impact profitability and 
product quality. U.S. agricultural production and marketability is 
constantly influenced by factors such as unpredictable weather, disease 
and pest outbreaks, and changing consumer demands. Use of genetically 
diverse germplasm resource collections and best management practices 
require research that helps improve production efficiency and 
productivity through the development of pest resistant varieties and 
information to facilitate decision-making.

    Food Safety.--For the Nation to have affordable and safe food, the 
food system must be protected at each step from production to 
consumption. The production and distribution system for food in the 
United States has been a diverse, extensive, and easily accessible 
system. This open system is vulnerable to the introduction of pathogens 
and toxins through natural processes, global commerce, and by 
intentional means. Thus, the food supply must be protected during 
production, processing, and preparation from pathogens, toxins, and 
chemical contamination that cause disease in humans.

    Livestock Protection.--Economic sustainability of livestock 
production systems in both domestic and global markets is limited by the 
disease status of the animals. Many factors affect the likelihood of 
diseases in livestock. These include globalization and international 
commerce, presence of pathogen vectors, industrialization of 
agriculture, availability of

[[Page 77]]

vaccines and protection systems, movements of animals during production, 
continued emergence of new diseases, genetic resistance, and the 
availability of vaccines and protection systems, movements of animals 
during production, continued emergence of new disease, genetic 
resistance, and the availability of trained animal health specialists. 
Livestock production systems are in transition from open and extensive 
systems to more closely monitored intensive management systems which 
remain vulnerable to accidental and intentional exposure to pathogens. 
Many of these pathogens are zoonotic and impact public health.

    Crop Protection.--Economic sustainability of agricultural crop 
production in both domestic and global markets is limited by the disease 
status of crops. Many factors affect the likelihood of diseases to crops 
including, globalization and international commerce, presence of 
pathogen vectors, availability of protection systems, continued 
emergence of new disease, genetic resistance of crops, and the 
availability of trained plant health specialists. Crop systems have 
limited diversity and will remain extensive and thereby more vulnerable 
to intentional exposure to pathogens.

    Human Nutrition.--Improving the Nation's health requires enhancing 
the quality of the American diet. The United States is experiencing an 
obesity epidemic resulting from multifaceted causes including a ``more 
is better'' mindset, a sedentary lifestyle, and the selection of readily 
available high calorie foods. In addition, four of the top ten causes of 
death in the U.S.--cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, and 
diabetes--are associated with the quality of our diets--diets too high 
in calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, or too low in fiber. 
Americans want fresh foods that taste good, are convenient to prepare 
and consume, and yet, offer nutrition and health benefits. Building a 
strong connection between agriculture and human health is an important 
step to providing a nutritionally enhanced food supply. Promoting 
healthier food choices and educating Americans to balance caloric intake 
with sufficient daily physical activity are vital steps to preventing 
obesity and decreasing risk for chronic disease.

    Environmental Stewardship.--Agriculture relies on a natural resource 
base whose sustainability depends on sound, science-based production 
practices. The management of our renewable resources often seems to be a 
continuous balancing of conflicting and competing goals and concerns. 
While this is often the case, particularly in the short-term, longer-
term management strategies combined with adequate knowledge of the 
complex natural systems can yield maximum sustainable benefits from our 
resources that can satisfy most competing concerns. The outcome will be 
technology and practices that will mitigate the adverse impact of 
agriculture on the environment, moderate the build up of green house 
gasses that may contribute to climate change, and remove the necessity 
of farming environmentally sensitive marginal lands.

    Library and Information Services.--Timely, relevant information is 
an essential raw material for the research process as well as for 
effective policy development and decision-making. Targeted information 
services are also required to support specialized USDA audiences such as 
inspectors, regulators, nutritionists, and others, as well as their 
peers, customers and stakeholders nationwide. The general public 
requires information on a very broad set of agriculture-related topics, 
ranging from small business development to gardening to nutrition to 
food safety to farming to textiles to statistics and beyond. And, the 
permanent preservation of USDAs and the Nation's agricultural 
intellectual heritage is a key national responsibility. The National 
Agricultural Library (NAL) is mandated to fulfill these roles and is a 
national resource for all users of agricultural information. NAL' s work 
in collecting, preserving and ensuring access to agricultural 
information is fundamental to the continued wellbeing and growth of U.S. 
agriculture, and the development of food supplies for the nation and 
world.

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

    Collaborative Research Program.--Funds from the U.S. Agency for 
International Development (AID), allow 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.

    Under the Integrated Activities account, research, education and/or 
extension grants are awarded for competitive and non-competitive 
programs. In 2006, the Budget proposes that Section 406 activities, 
formerly supported under the Integrated account, be supported within the 
Research and Education account. These activities will be funded at $41.9 
million, but the grants will be administered through the National 
Research Initiative (NRI) or the new competitive regional, State or 
local applied research program. This will allow greater flexibility and 
responsiveness to changing needs in these targeted activities.

    Critical issues program.--Funds are proposed to develop early 
intervention strategies to prevent, manage or eradicate new and emerging 
diseases, both plant and animal, which would prevent loss of revenue to 
growers or producers.

    Regional rural development centers.--Funding supports activities 
that pursue a holistic development strategy that tailors programming to 
meet regional and local needs and addresses areas of opportunity arising 
from a consumer-driven agricultural economy.

    Regional Diagnostic Network (homeland security).--As part of the 
Food and Agriculture Defense Initiative, this program provides support 
to an unified network of public agricultural institutions to identify 
and respond to high risk biological pathogens in the food and 
agricultural system. The 2006 Budget includes an increase to enhance 
agricultural defense.

    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.

    The Budget proposes that beginning in 2006, a portion of funding for 
the Hatch Act, McIntire Stennis Cooperative Forestry, and Animal Health 
and Disease Research Programs be shifted to competively awarded grants. 
The 2006 Budget proposes a new competitively awarded grants program to 
support systemwide research planning and coordination and for regional, 
State, and local research in the areas of new products/new uses, social 
sciences, and the environment. This program will replace some of the 
multistate efforts currently supported by formula funds. In addition, 
the Budget proposes an increase in funding for the NRI.

    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 and West Virginia 
State University.--Funds allocated on a formula basis support 
agricultural research and broaden the curricula at the eighteen 1890 
land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee University and West Virginia 
State 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 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, 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, and 
aquaculture centers. In 2006, a new competitively awarded grants program 
is proposed to support systemwide research, planning and coordination, 
for regional, State and local research in the areas of new products/new 
uses, social sciences and the environment. The 2006 Budget eliminates 
funding for unrequested earmarks.

    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.

    1994 Institutions Research.--Funding is proposed to continue the 
competitive research grants program to build the research capacity at 
the thirty-three 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. These programs 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. 
Funding is proposed in the 2006 Budget for a Higher Education 
Agrosecurity Program to provide educational and professional development 
for personnel in securing the Nation's agriculture and food supply.

    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 (33 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,

[[Page 82]]

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. The 2006 Budget includes an increase for the 
endowment fund.

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

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

    Programs supported with 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. These 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 and West Virginia State University 
provide funds to support the Extension's 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.

    In 2006, funding has been requested for the Expanded Food and 
Nutrition Education Program, pest management, children, youth and 
families at risk, a youth farm safety education and certification pilot 
project, extension services on Indian reservations, sustainable 
agriculture, new technologies at Ag Extension, renewable resources 
extension act, and 1994 (Native American) institutions.

    The major objectives of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service (APHIS) are to protect the health and value of American 
agriculture and natural resources against a variety of threats. To 
achieve this mission, APHIS has developed a protection system that is 
based on a strategic premise that safeguarding the health of animals, 
plants, and ecosystems makes possible safe agricultural trade and 
reduces losses to agricultural and natural resources. This mission is 
carried out under the five major areas of activity, as follows:

    Pest and disease exclusion.--The Agency develops protocols for trade 
and travel to prevent the entry of plant or animal pests and diseases 
into the United States and conducts quarantines and treatments of 
regulated products. 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. The 2006 Budget proposes significant increases to enhance 
overseas surveillance and eradication efforts and to identify exotic 
animal diseases more effectively.

    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. The 2006 Budget includes 
significant increases in monitoring programs to enhance agricultural 
defense. The request includes $5,290,000 for the mandated select agents 
program.

    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. The Budget implements a consistent set of cost-share 
criteria among Federal and non-Federal partners to respond to a plant 
and animal infestation. In addition, the 2006 Budget includes increases 
related to diseases such as citrus canker, emerald ash borer, low 
pathogenic avian influenza, scrapie and tuberculosis.

    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

    The primary objectives of the Food Safety and Inspection Service 
(FSIS) 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 2006 Budget proposes a $33 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: food and agriculture defense and workforce training.

    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.

[[Page 91]]

    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.

    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 7 delegated States and 
49 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.

    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, lamb, 
and peanut; (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.

[[Page 94]]

    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) increased the license fee and phased 
out fees for wholesale grocers and retailers by 1999; (2) provided 
permanent authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license and 
reparation complaint filing fees; and (3) repealed the 25 percent 
maximum funding reserve cap.

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

    Under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
612c), an amount equal to 30 percent of customs receipts collected 
during each calendar year is automatically appropriated for expanding 
outlets for perishable, non-price supported 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 Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural 
Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended--under certain conditions--
to issue Federal milk marketing orders establishing minimum prices which 
handlers are required to pay for milk purchased from producers. The 
Secretary has reduced the number of milk marketing orders from 31 to 11, 
consistent with the 1996 Farm Bill authorities.

    Market administrators are appointed by the Secretary and are 
responsible for carrying out the terms of specific marketing orders. 
Their operating expenses, partly financed by assessments on regulated 
handlers and partly by deductions from producers, are reported in these 
schedules. These non-Federal 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 provides funding for the administrative and 
operating expenses of the Risk Management Agency (RMA). The Agricultural 
Risk Protection Act (ARPA) of 2000 significantly enhanced RMA's role in 
protecting the integrity of the Federal Crop Insurance program for 
farmers. ARPA imposed new regulatory responsibilities and expanded the 
scope of program compliance and monitoring activities. Accordingly, it 
impacted on the amount and type of information RMA collects. The budget 
requests additional funding and staffing to fully implement these 
responsibilities.

    The Federal Crop Insurance program is delivered through private 
insurance companies. Certain administrative expenses incurred by the 
companies are reimbursed through mandatory funding that is reflected in 
the account for the Federal Crop Insurance Fund.

    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.

    Commercial insurance companies deliver crop insurance policies to 
the producer in all states. For producers who obtain Catastrophic Crop 
Insurance (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, the 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.

    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, per county, 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. 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. These programs 
all seek to help ensure a certain level of annual income and are offered 
through private insurance companies. FCIC is also piloting an Adjusted 
Gross Revenue (AGR) program, which is designed to insure a portion of a 
producer's gross revenue based on their Schedule F Farm and income tax 
reports.

    The Adjusted Gross Revenue-Lite (AGR-Lite) insurance plan was 
approved in late 2002 and offered for sale in 2003. This product was 
submitted to FCIC through Section 508(h) of the Act and was authorized 
by ARPA. AGR-Lite covers whole farm revenue up to $250,000, including 
revenue from animals and animal products. AGR-Lite covers the adjusted 
gross revenue from the whole farm based on five years of tax forms and a 
farm plan. AGR-Lite initially began as a pilot in Pennsylvania and was 
expanded to include Alaska (selected counties), Connecticut, Delaware, 
Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New 
York (selected counties), North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania (except 
Philadelphia County), Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and West 
Virginia.

    During 2004, RMA awarded over $23 million in projects, as authorized 
by ARPA, to accomplish many of the research and development mandates 
required by ARPA. These projects were awarded to public and private 
entities, including a pool

[[Page 100]]

of contractors in a base research and development contract that was 
initiated with a period of performance through September 30, 2004. On 
November 15, 2001, the Board approved two livestock pilot programs--
Livestock gross margin and Livestock risk protection--as allowed by 
ARPA. The pilot livestock programs cover swine in the State of Iowa and 
were made available beginning in 2002.

    RMA 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 provided.

    In crop year 2004, 221 million acres were insured, with an estimated 
$4,193 million in total premium income, including $2,481 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.''

    ARPA provided RMA with mandatory funding to implement data mining 
and data warehousing to improve compliance and integrity in the crop 
insurance program. It is estimated that in its first year of operation, 
data mining prevented nearly $94 million in improper payments and helped 
recover nearly $35 million in improper indemnities. However, the 
authority to use mandatory funding for data mining expires in 2005. 
Therefore, the 2006 Budget includes language to provide $3.6 million to 
continue data mining and data warehousing activities.

    Additionally, the 2006 Budget proposal would tie direct farm 
payments to the purchase of crop insurance. This change will ensure that 
all farmers growing the major commodity corps (e.g. wheat, corn, 
soybeans, and cotton) will have insurance coverage, ensuring that a 
farmer's revenue loss in a disaster will not be greater than 50 percent. 
As part of this proposal, the Administration includes changes to the 
Crop Insurance program that will reduce the premium subsidies to the 
farmers as well as the subsidies in total to the participating insurance 
companies. These changes will allow farmers to become more efficient in 
their risk management and companies to deliver crop insurance in a more 
efficient manner. The government will also realize savings of $140 
million beginning in 2007 as a result of these efficiencies, and the 
need for ad-hoc disaster payments will be reduced.

    The following table compares the scope of the insurance operations 
planned for 2006. Amounts in the 2004 column are as of September 30, 
2004, and pertain to the 2004 crop year.

    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 Grasslands Reserve Program (GRP). 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.

    USDA's FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Rural 
Development (RD) offices act as separate franchises, with offices often 
located adjacent to each other. Prior efforts to improve the efficiency 
of USDA's county-based offices have resulted in significant co-location, 
and introduction of new information technology to simplify customer 
transactions.

    During 2003 FSA also began to consolidate loan servicing functions 
such as billings and mass mailings and is in the process of implementing 
an interactive voice response system to handle routine information 
requests from borrowers. These efforts will help improve customer 
service while also reducing annual costs to the Government. However, the 
separate hierarchical structures at State, regional, and headquarter 
levels are set in law, and this hinders further attempts to achieve 
additional efficiencies.

    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 providing direct and counter-cyclical payments, providing 
marketing as

[[Page 102]]

sistance 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 through 
2005, 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 approval 
of crop prices, average yields, and payment factors for the Noninsured 
Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).

    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 farm planting history; (d) 
notifying producers of established allotments and farm planting 
histories; (e) establishing individual farm allotments and determining 
farm marketing quotas for tobacco through 2005; (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 direct and counter-cyclical 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, 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 USWA 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 USWA 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. Funding 
for farm loan administrative expenses is transferred to this 
consolidated account from the ACIF. Appropriations representing subsidy 
amounts necessary to support the individual program loan levels under 
Federal Credit Reform are made to the ACIF account.

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

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

    The tree assistance program (TAP) was reauthorized by the Farm 
Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 with some modifications.

    The 1999 TAP expired at the end of 2004, and all unobligated funds 
were returned to Treasury.

    For 2004, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 108-199, 
appropriated $12.5 million for the program in southern California. 
During the fiscal year, $4 million was obligated, $6 million was 
transferred to the USDA Working Capital Fund per Section 704 of P.L. 
108-199, and the remaining $2 million unobligated balance will expire at 
the end of FY 2009. No outlays were made during FY 2004 from funds 
obligated during the fiscal year. P.L. 108-199 also provided $5 million 
in Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funding for a program in New York.

    In addition, P.L. 108-83, the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 
provided $9.7 million in CCC funding to compensate eligible orchardists 
in Michigan for losses due to fire blight.

    For 2005, no appropriation was provided for TAP. However, the 
following CCC funding was provided by the 2005 Military Construction 
Appropriations and Emergency Hurricane Supplemental Appropriations Act, 
2005: (1) such sums as necessary for assistance to eligible producers 
for specified tree losses; (2) $15 million for timber losses; (3) $10 
million for orchard tree losses; and (4) $8.5 million for assistance to 
eligible pecan producers in designated counties.

    No funding is requested for 2006.

    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 objective of the program was to conserve soil and water 
resources. Along with annual agreements, cost sharing was authorized for 
long-term agreements of 3-10 years. In 2004 a transfer of $947,623 in 
unobligated funds was made to the USDA Working Capital Fund as 
authorized in Section 704 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004, 
P.L. 108-199. Outlays to States in 2004 totaled $110 thou

sand. At the end of 2004, $1.123 million in unliquidated obligations 
remained for ACP agreements.

    The Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) 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.

    Title VIII of the 2001 Agriculture Appropriations Act, P.L. 106-387, 
provided $80 million for the Emergency Conservation Program. This 
funding is available until expended. No funding was provided in 2002 
through 2004 for a nationwide ECP. However, the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2004, P.L. 108-199, provided $12 million to repair 
damage caused by wildfire in southern California. The program continued 
to operate nationwide using unobligated funds carried forward from 2001 
and recoveries throughout the three fiscal years. Under the 2004 
program, cost-sharing and technical assistance were provided in 34 
States and one territory to treat farmlands damaged by drought, floods, 
ice storms, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. Outlays to States in 
FY 2004 totaled $23 million, including $61 thousand for wildfire damage 
in California.

    The Emergency Hurricane Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2005, P.L. 
108-324, provided an additional $150 million for ECP ($100 million in 
direct appropriation and $50 million transferred from the Commodity 
Credit Corporation). These funds are available until expended.

    The 2006 Budget proposes no funding for this program.

    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. Boll weevil eradication loans are 
available to eliminate the cotton boll weevil pest from infested areas.

    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

    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 2005 and 2006 budget estimates: (a) national 
income will rise both in 2005 and 2006 from the present level; (b) 2005 
crop production will decrease from 2004 crop levels for some 
commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2006 
are expected to be lower than 2005 levels; (d) yields for the 2005 crops 
are based on recent averages adjusted for trends; and (e) acreage 
allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect for the 2004 crops of 
certain kinds of tobacco.

    It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the year 
ending September 30, 2006, 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.

    In 2003, USDA announced it had reserved 2 million Conservation 
Reserve Program acres for the continuous signup program. Within this 
reserved amount, USDA will make a special effort to help enhance 
wildlife habitat and sequester carbon by setting aside 500 thousand 
acres for bottomland hardwood tree planting. In 2004, USDA further 
enhanced CRP by announcing the Northern Bobwhite Quail Initiative and 
additional wetland restoration initiatives. Also in 2004, the 
Administration announced its commitment to full enrollment of CRP and 
that USDA will offer early reenrollment and extensions of expiring 
contracts. During 2004, about 275 thousand acres were signed up for 
continuous practices in signup 28. Together with the 2 million acres 
already enrolled, this maintains the 4-million-acre goal for continuous 
signup.

    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. This authorization was expanded in the 2002 Farm Bill 
to include 1 million acres and all States.

    A general signup was held in 2004. Approximately 1.2 million acres 
were accepted in the program.

    P.L. 108-498, signed into law December 23, 2004, provides 
independent authority beginning October 1, 2004, for CRP funds to be 
used for technical assistance.

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

    The 2002 Farm Bill provided a total of $176 billion for payments to 
the farm sector, a 74 percent increase over the assistance the previous 
Farm Bill would have provided in the absence of any additional emergency 
assistance. Not all of this assistance is appropriately targeted, and 
many of the programs may need to be reformed as a result of any new 
multilateral long-term trade agreements. Therefore, the Administration 
is proposing the following legislative changes to reduce agricultural 
subsidies, promote more efficient production decisions, and extend 
expiring programs:

     Reducing the payment limit cap for individuals to $250,000 
for crop payments, including all types of marketing loan gains, while 
removing the three-entity-rule.

     Basing marketing loans on historical production.

[[Page 111]]

     Reducing crop and dairy payments to farmers by 5 percent. 
Payments to farmers from all commodity programs (e.g. marketing loans, 
direct and counter-cyclical payments) would be calculated and payments 
would be reduced by 5 percent.

     The dairy price support program would be required to 
minimize expenditures.

     A sugar marketing assessment is to be paid by sugar 
processors on all processed sugar.

     Extending the Milk Income Loss Compensation program for two 
years.

                       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 Farm 
Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (the 2002 Farm Bill).

    Price support is mandatory for tobacco through 2004 and dairy 
products. Marketing assistance loans are mandatory for wheat, feed 
grains, oilseeds, upland cotton, peanuts, and rice. Loans are also 
required to be made for sugar, honey, wool, mohair, extra long staple 
cotton, and the pulse crops.

    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.

    Direct Payments and Counter-Cyclical Payments. The 2002 Farm Bill 
established direct payments and counter-cyclical payments for May 2002 
through 2007. The eligible commodities for both direct payments and 
counter-cyclical payments are wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, 
upland cotton, rice, soybeans, other oilseeds, and peanuts.

    Direct Payments are payments to producers for which payment yields 
and base acres are established. The commodity payment amount is 
calculated as follows: Payment Amount = specified rate  payment acres  
payment yield. At the option of the producer, the producer can choose to 
receive advance payments (up to 50%) during the producer's selected 
month. The month selected may be any month during the period beginning 
on December 1 of the calendar year before the calendar year in which the 
crop of the covered commodity is harvested through the month within 
which the direct payment would otherwise be made.

    Counter-Cyclical Payments are payments to producers for which 
payment yields and base acres are established for eligible commodities 
if it is determined that the effective commodity price is less than the 
target commodity price. Counter-cyclical payments will be made for the 
crop as soon as practicable after the end of the 12-month marketing year 
for the eligible commodity. If, before the end of the 12-month marketing 
year it is determined that counter-cyclical payments will be required 
for the eligible commodity, producers will be provided the option to 
receive partial payment of the projected counter-cyclical payment.

    Marketing assessments. The 1949 Act mandated assessments for 
tobacco, and the 1996 Act required such assessments for peanuts and 
sugar. The 2000 Act suspended sugar marketing assessment collections 
through 2001. The 2002 Farm Bill did not resume the sugar marketing 
assessment collections. Tobacco marketing assessments were authorized 
through crop year 1998.

    Marketing assistance loans. The 2002 Farm Bill authorized producers 
of eligible crops to receive non-recourse marketing assistance loans 
from the government for any quantity of a loan commodity produced on the 
farm by pledging their production as loan collateral. This loan shall 
have a term of 9 months beginning on the first day of the first month 
after the month in which the loan is made. The loan cannot be extended. 
As a condition of the receipt of a marketing assistance loan, the 
producer shall comply with applicable conservation requirements under 
subtitle B of title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 and applicable 
wetland protection requirements under subtitle C of title XII of the Act 
during the term of the loan. Producers of eligible commodities can repay 
a marketing assistance loan at a rate that is the lesser of (1) the loan 
rate established for the commodity plus interest; or (2) a rate that the 
Secretary determines. Special rules apply to upland cotton, rice, and 
extra long staple cotton. Crops eligible for marketing assistance loans 
include wheat, corn, barley, oats, grain sorghum, rice, upland cotton, 
soybeans, extra long staple cotton, other oilseeds, dry peas, lentils, 
small chickpeas, honey, wool, and mohair.

    Peanut price support program. Under the 2002 Farm Bill, peanuts 
qualify for direct payments, counter-cyclical payments, marketing 
assistance loans and loan deficiency payments for the 2002 through 2007 
crops.

    The 2002 Farm Bill terminated the marketing quota programs and 
repealed price support programs. The prior quota programs stayed in 
effect for the 2001 crop only, with quota buyout compensation payments 
being made during fiscal years 2002 through 2006. The prior price 
support programs remained in effect for the 2002 crop only, 
notwithstanding any other provision of law or crop insurance policy.

    The 2002 Farm Bill established marketing assistance loans for the 
2002 through 2007 crops, with the loan rate for peanuts of $355 per ton. 
The payment rate shall be the amount by which the established loan rate 
exceeds the rate at which a loan may be repaid. The Farm Bill also 
requires that for crop years 2002 through 2006 CCC will pay storage, 
handling, and other associated costs to ensure proper storage of peanuts 
for which a loan is made. This authority terminates beginning with the 
2007 crop.

[[Page 112]]

    Tobacco program. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, P.L. 108-
357, eliminated the program effective with the 2005 crop. In return for 
losing the program, growers and quota holders will receive a buyout. The 
owners of quota will be paid $7 per pound for the quota they hold. The 
actual producers will be paid $3 per pound for the quota they produced. 
The legislation eliminates all geographic and poundage restrictions on 
tobacco production as well as price support. The buyout will be funded 
by assessments on the tobacco product manufacturers and importers. The 
program will cost $10.14 billion, and the growers and quota holders will 
be paid over a 10-year period.

    Sugar program. Sugar qualifies for price support. The 2002 Farm Bill 
extended the national average sugar loan rates to cover through the 2007 
crops at 18 cents per pound for raw cane sugar and 22.9 cents per pound 
for refined beet sugar. Loans are available to processors of 
domestically grown sugarcane and sugar beets for a term of nine months 
that does not begin or extend beyond the end/beginning of a fiscal year. 
The non-recourse loans are extended through the 2007 crop for processors 
of domestically produced sugar beets and sugarcane including for in-
process sugar. Loans for in-process sugar have a loan rate of 80% of the 
loan rate for raw cane sugar or refined beet sugar (based on the source 
material used). If forfeitures occur, the processor shall convert the 
in-process into final product at no cost to the CCC. Upon transfer, the 
processor will receive payment based on the loan rate less 80% of raw 
cane or refined beet sugar rate times the quantity of sugar transferred. 
The loan program is assumed to continue through the 2012 crop. The 2002 
Farm Bill did not resume the sugar marketing assessment collections but 
authorized marketing allotments. The 2002 Act provides assistance for 
sugar donations in the amount of 10,000 tons to compensate sugar 
producers who suffer losses incurred beyond existing CCC administered 
programs.

    Dairy program. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the Dairy Price Support 
Program from June 1, 2002 through December 31, 2007 at a rate of $9.90 
per hundredweight for milk containing 3.67% butterfat. The support 
program is carried out through the purchase of butter, nonfat dry milk, 
and cheese at prices that enable processors to pay dairy farmers, on 
average, the support price for milk. As under previous law, the 
Secretary may allocate the rate of price support between the purchase 
prices for nonfat dry milk and butter in a manner that minimizes CCC 
expenditures or other objectives, as the Secretary considers 
appropriate. Cash CCC inventory sales (with some exceptions) shall be at 
any price that the Secretary determines will maximize CCC returns. The 
2002 Farm Bill repealed all legislative authority for the Dairy Recourse 
Loan Program but established a new Milk Income Loss Contract Program 
(MILC), under which the Secretary may contract with eligible producers 
up to September 30, 2005, to make monthly payments when milk prices fall 
below specified levels. The Administration proposes extending the MILC 
program through December 31, 2007, the duration of the 2002 Farm Bill.

    Market loss assistance payments. The 2001 Appropriations Act 
provided $99.8 million and the 2002 Appropriations Act provided $75 
million to apple producers for market loss assistance. The 2002 Farm 
Bill provided $94 million in additional assistance, increasing apple 
market loss assistance to $268.8 million. The 2002 Farm Bill also 
provided a $10 million grant to the state of New York for market loss 
assistance to onion producers who suffered losses to onion crops during 
1 or more of the 1996 through 2000 crop years.

    Payment Limitations. In general, the 2002 Farm Bill revised the Food 
Security Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 1308) for payment limitations. The total 
amount of direct payments made to a person during any crop year for 1 or 
more covered commodities may not exceed $40,000. The total amount of 
counter-cyclical payments made to a person during any crop year for 1 or 
more covered commodities may not exceed $65,000. Separate limits apply 
to direct and counter-cyclical payments for peanuts. The total amount of 
gains and payments that a person may receive during any crop year under 
marketing assistance loan and loan deficiency payment provisions may not 
exceed $75,000. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an 
individual or entity shall not be eligible to receive any benefit 
described above if the average adjusted annual gross income of the 
individual or entity exceeds $2,500,000, unless not less than 75 percent 
of the average adjusted gross income of the individual or entity is 
derived from farming, ranching, or forestry operations, as determined by 
the Secretary. This shall apply during the 2003 through 2007 crop years.

    Disaster Payments. The Military Construction Appropriations and 
Emergency Hurricane Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2005, P.L. 108-324, 
authorized more than $3 billion in financial relief for farmers, 
ranchers, foresters, and other agricultural producers who incurred 
losses due to weather conditions in recent years.

    Noninsured Assistance Program. The Agricultural Risk Protection Act 
of 2000 eliminated the area loss requirement for triggers and made other 
changes. It also included a provision that all types or varieties of a 
crop or commodity may be considered to be a single eligible crop for NAP 
assistance.

    Bioenergy Program. The 2006 President's Budget assumes CCC will 
continue to make incentive payments, under the Bioenergy Program, to 
ethanol, biodiesel, and other bioenergy producers to expand production 
of bio-based fuels. Payments shall 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. This program is authorized by the CCC Charter Act. The 2002 Farm 
Bill extends the program through FY 2006 at the program level of $150 
million per year. The 2006 budget assumes a reduction in funding to $60 
million.

    Foreign Market Development and Food Assistance Programs.--

    Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP). DEIP provides cash bonus 
payments to exporters to facilitate commercial sales of U.S. dairy 
products in overseas markets. Estimates of the quantity of dairy 
products to be exported under DEIP and associated expenditures were 
formulated within the maximum allowable expenditure and quantity levels 
specified in conjunction with provisions of the Uruguay Round Agreement. 
Consequently, current baseline projections assume that DEIP will not 
exceed $116.6 million annually during FYs 2002-2012. Actual DEIP 
subsidies are further limited on a product-by-product basis under the 
Uruguay Round.

    Export Enhancement Program (EEP). Current baseline projections 
assume an EEP annual program level for FYs 2003-2013 will be $28 
million. However, the 2002 Farm Bill authorizes funding up to $478 
million annually for EEP through 2007, which will be available for EEP 
programming should market conditions warrant. Actual subsidies for EEP 
are further limited on a product-by-product basis under the Uruguay 
Round.

    Market Access Program (MAP). Under the MAP, CCC Funds are used to 
reimburse participating organizations for a portion of the costs of 
carrying out overseas marketing and promotional activities. The 2002 
Farm Bill continued the authority for the MAP program and increased the 
funding as follows: $100 million for FY 2002, $110 million for FY 2003, 
$125

[[Page 113]]

million for FY 2004, $140 million for FY 2005, and $200 million for FY 
2006 and 2007. The 2006 Budget assumes funding of $125 million for FY 
2006.

    Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMD) and Quality 
Samples Program. Under the FMD program, cost-share assistance is 
provided to nonprofit commodity and agricultural trade associations to 
support overseas market development activities that are designed to 
remove long-term impediments to increased U.S. trade. The 2002 Farm Bill 
increased the available funds for this program to $34.5 million for each 
of fiscal years 2002 through 2007.

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

    Commodity Donations. The 2002 Farm Bill authorizes the donation of 
surplus commodity inventory to domestic nutrition programs. The 
Corporation may also donate 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. Commodities that are 
acquired by CCC in the normal course of its domestic support operations 
will be available for donation. The current CCC inventory has nonfat dry 
milk available for donation. 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 $40 million of the funds of 
the Corporation (exclusive of the costs of commodities) may be used for 
each fiscal year.

    The Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust. The Bill Emerson Humanitarian 
Trust (BEHT) is a commodity reserve that was established to ensure that 
the United States can meet its international food aid commitments. 
Commodities authorized for the 4-million-ton reserve include wheat, 
corn, grain sorghum, and rice. The Secretary is authorized to release up 
to 500,000 metric tons for urgent humanitarian relief in disasters in 
the case of unanticipated need and to release an additional 500,000 
metric tons of eligible commodities that could have been released but 
were not released in previous years. The Secretary is authorized to 
release eligible commodities from the reserve when supplies are so 
limited that eligible commodities cannot be made available for 
programming under P.L. 480. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the 
authorization to replenish the BEHT through FY 2007. CCC is authorized 
to hold funds as well as commodities in the reserve.

    Conservation programs.--Title II of the Farm Security and Rural 
Investment Act of 2002, P.L. 107-171, authorizes funding for new and 
existing conservation programs implemented by the Farm Service Agency or 
the Natural Resources Conservation Service and funded through the 
Commodity Credit Corporation. The bill provides additional funding to 
help farmers adopt and maintain conservation systems that protect water 
quality, reduce soil erosion, protect and enhance wildlife habitat and 
wetlands, conserve water, and sequester carbon. One such program is the 
Conservation Reserve Program administered by FSA.

    Up to 39.2 million acres may be enrolled at any one time. CRP is 
USDA's largest conservation/environmental program. The purpose of CRP is 
to cost-effectively assist farm owners and operators in conserving and 
improving soil, water, air, and wildlife resources by converting highly 
erodible and other environmentally sensitive acreage normally devoted to 
the production of agricultural commodities to a long-term resource-
conserving cover. CRP participants enroll contracts for periods from 10 
to 15 years in exchange for annual rental payments and cost-share and 
technical assistance for installing approved conservation practices.

    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 financial assistance for conservation programs where the Natural 
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is the lead agency, is transferred 
from CCC to NRCS's Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs account 
(see the NRCS section). Specifically, these programs include the 
Environmental Quality Incentives Program, Wetlands Reserve Program, 
Wildlife Habitat Incentives program, Farm and Ranch Lands Protection 
Program, Conservation Security Program, and Grassland Reserve Program.

    The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized CCC funding 
of $10 million for 2001 and subsequent years for the Agricultural 
Management Assistance Program (AMAP). AMAP provides cost-share 
assistance to producers in not less than 10, nor more than 15, States in 
which the Federal Crop Insurance Program is historically low as 
determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. The 2002 Farm Bill increased 
CCC funding to $20 million annually. The Secretary delegated authority 
to Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency, and 
the Agricultural Marketing Service. The 2006 Budget assumes the $14 
million authorized for use by the Natural Resources Conservation Service 
will not be funded because the assistance AMAP provides is duplicative 
of other priority conservation programs, such as the Environmental 
Quality Incentives Program.

    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 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. The Section 11 cap of $56 million 
including FSA loan service fees remains at $56 million in fiscal year 
2005.

    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. The Corporation receives 
reimbursement for the commodity costs and other costs, including 
administrative costs, for commodities supplied to domestic nutrition 
programs and international food aid programs.

                                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:

    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. Commodity certificates discourage producers 
from forfeiting commodities pledged as collateral for CCC commodity 
loans. Certificates are used to repay marketing assistance loans when 
the adjusted world price (for rice and upland cotton) or the posted 
county price (for wheat, feed grains, soybeans, wool, mohair, honey, 
peanuts, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, and designated minor 
oilseeds) is lower than the applicable loan rate. The Budget assumes 
that commodity certificates may be exchanged for loan collateral through 
crop year 2015.

    The 2002 Farm Bill provided a total of $176 billion in farm-related 
assistance, a 74-percent increase over the assistance the previous Farm 
Bill would have provided in the absence of any additional emergency 
assistance. Not all of this assistance is appropriately targeted, and 
many of the programs may need to be reformed as a result of any new 
multilateral long-term trade agreements. Therefore, the Administration 
is proposing the following legislative changes to reduce agricultural 
subsidies, promote more efficient production decisions, and extend 
expiring programs:

     Reducing the payment limit cap for individuals to $250,000 
for commodity payments, including all types of marketing loan gains, 
while removing the three-entity-rule.

     Basing marketing loans on historical production.

     Reducing crop and dairy payments to farmers by five 
percent. Payments to farmers from all commodity programs (e.g., 
marketing loans, direct and counter-cyclical payments) would be 
calculated and payments would be reduced by five percent.

[[Page 116]]

     Requiring the dairy price support program to minimize 
expenditures.

     Imposing a sugar marketing assessment to be paid by sugar 
processors on all processed sugar.

     Extending the Milk Income Loss Compensation program for two 
years.

    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 65 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

[[Page 117]]

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 2006 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 (FSFL) Program. 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. The program 
was discontinued in the early 1980's when studies showed sufficient 
storage space was available. The FSFL was re-established in 2000 due to 
a severe shortage of sufficient available storage. The program was 
implemented in 2000 by CCC under Section 504(c) of the Federal Credit 
Reform Act of 1990. The 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.

    Sugar Storage Facility Loans. The 2002 Farm Bill directs that the 
CCC establish a sugar storage facility loan program to provide financing 
for processors of domestically produced sugarcane and sugar beets to 
construct or upgrade storage and handling facilities for raw sugars and 
refined sugars. The loan term is a minimum of 7 years with the amount 
and terms being determined as any other commercial loan.

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

    As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this non-
budgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Government 
resulting from direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including 
modifications of direct loans that resulted from obligations in any 
year). The amounts in this account are a means of financing and are not

                       Apple Loans Program Account

    The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized up to $5 
million for the cost to provide loans to producers of apples for 
economic losses as the result of low prices. Although the program is 
funded through CCC, program management is performed through farm loan 
programs. No further funding is requested for this program.

    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.

    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.

    The 2006 Budget targets funding to national-level conservation 
priorities. The Budget includes an increase of $37 million to provide 
more conservation assistance to help livestock producers to comply with 
environmental regulations. To help ranchers fight and control priority 
invasive species, the Budg

[[Page 122]]

et also includes an increase of $9.7 million to the Grazing Lands 
Conservation Initiative. The National Invasive Species Council has 
indentified high-priority invasive species that heavily impact western 
range lands, such as yellow star thistle, leafy spurge, and tamarisk. 
This additional funding will enhance invasive species prevention, 
management, and restoration activities.

    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 the Secretary shall 
make a reasonable effort to assure that ``a substantial portion of the 
survey costs for NRCS are to be reimbursed by survey recipients.''

    Snow survey and water supply 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, emergency management, 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.

    The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-171) 
reauthorizes a number of USDA's conservation programs. NRCS is 
responsible for implementing many of these programs. All of the 
assistance for programs where NRCS is the lead implementation agency is 
transferred from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to the Farm 
Security and Rural Investment Programs account. This account funds the 
cost share, monitoring, easement, and other financial as

[[Page 123]]

sistance activities associated with the programs under title II of the 
2002 Farm Bill. In addition, this account funds the technical assistance 
costs necessary for delivering the Environmental Quality Incentives 
Program, Ground and Surface Water Conservation, Klamath Basin, Wildlife 
Habitat Incentives Program, Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program, 
Conservation Security Program, Grassland Reserve Program, and Wetlands 
Reserve Program.

    The following programs are funded in this account.

    Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is authorized under Section 1237 of 
the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The authority provides for a 
total acreage enrollment cap of 2,275,000 acres. The purpose of the WRP 
is to preserve, protect, and restore valuable wetlands.

    Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) was re-authorized in 
the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. Funding is 
authorized at $5.8 billion over 6 years with $400 million in 2002 
increasing to $1.3 billion in 2007. The purpose of the program is to 
promote agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible 
national goals.

    Ground and Surface Water Program (GSW) is authorized by Section 
1240I of Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985. Funding is 
authorized at $310 million over six years. The purpose of the program is 
to promote ground and surface water conservation by providing cost-share 
payments and incentive payments to producers to carry out eligible water 
conservation activities.

    Klamath Basin. is authorized by Section 1240I of Title XII of the 
Food Security Act of 1985. Funding is authorized at $50 million over 6 
years. The purpose of the Klamath Basin program is to carry out water 
conservation activities in the Klamath Basin located in California and 
Oregon.

    Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP). The Farm Security 
and Rural Investment Act of 2002 repealed the Farmland Protection 
Program authorized by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act 
of 1996 and authorized a new Farmland Protection Program. Funding is 
authorized at $597 million over 6 years. The purpose of the program is 
to protect soil by limiting nonagricultural use of prime and unique farm 
and ranch land.

    Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is authorized by Section 
1240N of the Food Security Act of 1985. Funding is authorized at $360 
million over 6 years. The purpose of the program is to develop habitat 
for upland wildlife, wetlands wildlife, threatened and endangered 
species, fish, and other types of wildlife.

    Conservation Security Program (CSP) is authorized by subchapter A 
chapter 2, subtitle D. Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 as 
added by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. The purpose 
of the program is to provide financial and technical assistance for the 
conservation, protection, and improvement of natural resources on Tribal 
and private working lands. The program provides assistance to producers 
who have already implemented high levels of conservation in order to 
reward and maintain their model stewardship. CSP also pays qualified 
producers to do further environmental enhancements to improve natural 
resource conditions on their agricultural operations.

    Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is authorized by Section 1238N of 
Title XII, of Food Security Act of 1985. Funding is authorized at $254 
million over 5 years. The purpose of the program is to assist landowners 
in restoring and protecting grassland.

    Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA) is authorized by 
Section 211 of the Agriculture Risk Protection Act of 2000, Subtitle F, 
Section 2501(l)(4)(ii) of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 
2002 provides $20 million annually for financial assistance in 15 
states, as determined by the Secretary, in which participation in the 
Federal Crop Insurance Program is historically low. The program provides 
assistance to producers to mitigate financial risk by using conservation 
measures to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality.

    NRCS works to deliver these conservation programs using its 
technical field staff and by partnering with public and private entities 
through the Technical Service Provider (TSP) system. NRCS can contract 
with TSPs to help deliver the Farm Bill programs, or agricultural 
producers may select TSPs to help plan and implement conservation 
practices on their operations.

    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 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. Watershed 
plans are used to develop the small watershed projects.

    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 
over $8.5 billion to develop a watershed infrastructure through the 
Small Watershed program. The investment yields annual benefits estimated 
at $922 million primarily to local areas and private landowners.

    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. In order to improve the environmental and 
economic benefits of these projects, NRCS intends to focus on developing 
and funding non-structural flood prevention measures.

    Emergency watershed protection.--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, drought 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. Funding for the 
emergency watershed protection program is typically provided through 
emergency supplemental appropriations.

    To improve the delivery and defensibility of the program, NRCS 
published a draft programmatic environmental impact statement and 
proposed regulations for public review and comment to assess various 
program alternatives. Through the public feedback and information 
gathering process, NRCS ultimately will be able to make the program more 
beneficial to communities and the environment.

    Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 78-534.--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.

    The 2006 Budget redirects this program's resources to other priority 
programs within the Agency.

    Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 83-566.--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. At least 50 percent of the funding provided is 
used for financial assistance. The 2006 Budget redirects this program's 
resources to other priority programs within the Agency.

    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 83-566 or 78-534 projects. No funding for these loans is 
assumed in 2006.

    The Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program began in 
February 1964 under authority of Section 102 of the Food and 
Agricultural Act of 1962 (P.L. 87-703) and other Departmental 
authorities. Sections 1528-1538 of the Agricultural and Food Act of 1981 
have replaced these authorities. This act authorized a program to 
encourage and improve the capability of State and local units of 
government and local nonprofit organizations in rural areas to plan, 
develop, and implement programs for resource conservation and 
development. Through the establishment of RC&D areas, led by a council, 
the program establishes or improves coordination systems in rural 
communities and builds rural community leadership skills to effectively 
utilize Federal, State and local programs for the communities' benefit. 
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (P.L. 107-171) 
permanently reauthorized RC&D.

    Designated RC&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&D area plans. These coordinators help the area councils develop plans 
and proposals to compete for financial assistance from other Federal, 
State and private sources.

    The 2006 Budget proposes new policy for the RC&D Program that phases 
out Federal support for the local planning areas after 20 years of 
funding support. At that point, these local communities should have the 
experience and capacity to identify, plan for, and address their 
priorities. This policy would cancel Federal support for 189 RC&D areas 
in the 2006 Budget. This policy is based on a finding that the program 
is duplicative of other USDA and Federal resource conservation and rural 
development programs. Also, the program does not prioritize and target 
funding based on need or performance.

    The following tabulation shows the status of RC&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.

    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 cannot exceed 80 
percent of the cost of installing eligible practices within the 
designated county. There is a cost-sharing limitation of $35,000 for any 
contract.

    No funds are proposed for the Forestry Incentives Program (FIP). The 
FIP was not reauthorized by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act 
of 2002 (P.L. 107-171). Prior-year account balances are maintained in 
this account until expended.

    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 the 
Forest Service.

    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 (FAIR 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 Incentives 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.

    Section 1240N of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended by 
Section 2502 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 
Farm Bill), authorized the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) as 
a voluntary approach to improving wildlife habitat in our nation. The 
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides program 
administration for WHIP.

    WHIP is a voluntary program that provides assistance to eligible 
participants to develop upland wildlife, wetland wildlife, threatened 
and endangered species, fish and other types of wildlife habitat in an 
environmentally beneficial and cost effective manner. The purpose of the 
program is to create high-quality wildlife habitats that support 
wildlife populations of local, state, and national significance.

    WHIP supports the USDA strategic plan goal to maintain and enhance 
the nation's natural resources and the environment. Although the primary 
purpose of the program is wildlife habitat development and enhancement, 
the benefits are not limited to wildlife. The practices are often 
compatible with and beneficial to farming and ranching enterprises. Some 
practices enhance farm profitability by improving grazing conditions, 
reducing management expenses, and by producing non-crop income from the 
lease of rights to harvest and observe wild game and fish. The program 
has been utilized to control invasive species, re-establish native 
vegeta

[[Page 130]]

tion, manage non-industrial forestland, stabilize stream banks, protect, 
develop or enhance unique habitats, and remove barriers that impede 
migration of certain species.

    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 state NRCS offices based on state wildlife habitat 
priorities. 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.

    The 2002 Farm Bill reauthorized WHIP through 2007. Funding for WHIP 
is now provided through NRCS's Farm Security and Rural Investment 
Account. Information displayed in this section represents unobligated 
balances remaining from the 1996 Farm Bill only.

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

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

    Since 2001, Rural Development has had a consolidated Salaries and 
Expenses account to administer all Rural Development programs, including 
programs administered by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the Rural 
Housing Service (RHS), and the Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS).

    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.

    RBS includes programs from the former Rural Development 
Administration, rural development programs from 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. Funding in 2006 for all programs is projected to be near or 
slightly above the 2006 enacted level except for guaranteed business and 
industry loans.

    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 two 
of the 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. Total 
loan level is projected to be $1 billion for these programs in 2006.

    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. $377 million is projected for 
this program in 2006.

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

    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. $3.5 million is projected for this program in 2006.

    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. Total program 
level in 2006 is projected to be $527 million.

    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 direct loans no funds were requested or provided since 2002, 
and no funds are requested in 2006. 2006 projections for loan guarantees 
are $899 million.

    No funding is provided in this account for the rural business 
enterprise grants or the rural business opportunity grants. For grants 
like these that are for community organizations to stimulate economic 
development, the FY 2006 Budget proposes to consolidate them into a new 
economic and community development program to be administered by the 
Department of Commerce. The new program would be designed to achieve 
greater results and focus on communities most in need of assistance.

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

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

                                

                      Rural Housing Voucher Program

the Housing Act of 1949, but notwithstanding subsection (b) of such 
section, $214,000,000, to remain available until expended, of which up 
to $10,000,000 may be transferred to and merged with ``Salaries And 
Expenses,'' Rural Development, to be used only for administrative 
expenses relating to the revitalization of USDA's multifamily housing 
portfolio.

    USDA's portfolio of multifamily housing projects provides housing 
for nearly half a million low-income families, many

[[Page 137]]

of whom are elderly. Recent Federal court rulings allow projects that 
received their financing prior to 1989 to prepay and leave the program. 
A recent assessment of the capital and operating needs of the projects 
indicated that about 10 percent of the projects have economically viable 
prepayment potential and that about 46,000 tenants of these projects 
risk substantial rent increases and possible loss of their housing if 
these projects are prepaid. Current law allows USDA to assist these 
families by providing them with letters of priority and vouchers which 
have not been funded to date. The 2006 Budget includes $214 million for 
USDA to establish a tenant protection program for this purpose. The 2006 
Budget amends the current law to allow the number of vouchers issued to 
exceed 5,000 and to allow vouchers to be used in places other than 515 
projects. Further, USDA is exploring ways to address the capital needs 
of those projects that stay in the program. USDA expects to develop a 
comprehensive approach that would include an appropriate sharing of 
costs with project sponsors, and tenant protection for residents who 
would otherwise be adversely affected in a prepayment situation in 2005.

    Prior year obligated balances reflect funding for rental assistance 
for newly constructed units provided in limited amounts in 1984 and 
1985. From 1986 through 1991 rental assistance for newly constructed 
units, as well as existing rental assistance contract renewals and 
additional servicing assistance for existing projects, had been funded 
under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund. Beginning in 1992, pursuant to 
Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established for the rental 
assistance program.

    Rural firefighters and emergency personnel grants are authorized 
under 7 U.S.C. 2655. Grants are provided to local government and Indian 
tribes to pay the cost of training firefighters and emergency personnel 
in firefighting, emergency medical practices, and responding to 
hazardous materials and bioagents in rural areas. Not less than 60 
percent of the amounts made available for training grants shall be used 
to provide grants to fund partial scholarships for training of 
individuals at training centers. The remaining funding may be made 
available for grants to provide financial assistance to State and 
regional centers that provide training for firefighters and emergency 
medical personnel for improvements to the training facility, equipment, 
curricula, and personnel. The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 
2002, Public Law 107-171, provides mandatory funding for this program. 
The Act provides $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2003 through 2007, 
to remain available until expended, from the funds of the Commodity 
Credit Corporation. The 2006 Budget proposes to cancel the 2003 through 
2006 funding for this program because other programs in Forest Service, 
Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Bureau of Land Management 
provide significant funding for this purpose.

    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 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 was 
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.'' Starting in 2001, 
section 514 domestic farm labor housing loans and grants are funded 
under the new Farm Labor Program Account in order to provide flexibility 
between 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.

    For 2006, funds for section 515 rural rental housing loans will be 
limited to repair and rehabilitation only and $27 million is included 
for this purpose. In conjunction with this, RHS will begin to revitalize 
the existing 515 portfolio by implementing a voucher program to assist 
tenants that have been displaced due to property owners prepaying their 
loans. Additional authorizations are anticipated to assist in 
revitalizing the portfolio. The relevant legislative proposals will be 
developed and submitted during 2005.

    For 502 guaranteed single family housing loans in 2006, the Budget 
reflects an increase in the guarantee fee on new loans to 2.0 percent, 
consistent with the 2005 Appropriations Act. The ability to finance the 
guarantee fee is more in line with the housing industry, including HUD 
and VA, and will allow more lower income rural Americans to continue to 
afford these loans. In 2002, RHS approved separate risk categories for 
the guarantee refinancing (refis) and guarantees of new loans. As part 
of that change, RHS also reduced the guarantee fee to 0.5 percent for 
the refis. This change reflected the lower risk on refis as compared to 
an unseasoned borrower receiving a new loan. It is also consistent with 
the rate HUD and VA charge on their refis of similar loans.

    As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account 
records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct

resulting from direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond including 
credit sales of acquired property. The amounts in this account are a

section 504 very low income housing repair loan program; section 514 
domestic farm labor housing loan program; section 515 rural rental 
housing loan program; sections 523 self-help housing loans, and 524 site 
development loans; and single family and multi-family housing credit 
sales of acquired property.

    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 non-
budgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Government 
resulting from guaranteed loan commitments made in 1992 and beyond. The 
amounts in this account are a means of financing and are not included in 
the budget totals.

    This account finances the nonsubsidized guaranteed section 502 low-
to-moderate-income home ownership loan program and section 538 multi-
family housing loan program. The guaranteed programs enable RHS to 
utilize private sector resources for the making and servicing of loans 
while the Agency provides a financial guarantee to encourage private 
sector activity.

    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. Appropriated funding in 1999 through 2002 was 
provided for

[[Page 145]]

EZ/ECs designated as part of the second round of this initiative.

    No funding is provided in 2006 for EZ/EC grants. For grants like 
these that are for community organizations to stimulate economic 
development, the 2006 Budget proposes to consolidate them into a new 
economic and community development program to be administered by the 
Department of Commerce. The new program would be designed to achieve 
greater results and focus on communities most in need of assistance.

                                

                  Rural Cooperative Development Grants

    For rural cooperative development grants authorized under section 
310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 
1932), [$24,000,000] $21,000,000, of which [$2,500,000] $500,000 shall 
be for cooperative research agreements [for the appropriate technology 
transfer for rural areas program: Provided, That not to exceed 
$1,500,000 shall be for cooperatives or associations of cooperatives 
whose primary focus is to provide assistance to small, minority 
producers and whose governing board and/or membership is comprised of at 
least 75 percent minority]; and of which [not to exceed] $15,500,000, to 
remain available until expended, shall be for value-added agricultural 
product market development grants, as authorized by section 6401 of the 
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 1621 note).

    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. The 2006 Budget provides no funding 
for this purpose.

    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.

    Additionally, USDA provides value added marketing grants for 
cooperatives. These were first funded in the Agriculture Risk Protection 
Act of 2000. The 2002 Farm Bill provided $40 million for this purpose 
each year from 2002 through 2007. The 2006 Budget cancels these funds 
for a savings of $120 million. However, $15.5 million in discretionary 
2006 funds is provided for this purpose.

    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 $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. Additional funds have 
been added to the original authorized amount so that the total available 
for this purpose is now $28 million. No additional funds are requested 
in 2006.

    The Rural Strategic Investment Program is authorized under 7 U.S.C. 
2009dd. The Rural Strategic Investment Program will provide rural 
communities with flexible resources to develop comprehensive, 
collaborative, and locally-based strategic planning processes; and will 
implement innovative community and economic development strategies that 
optimize regional competitive advantages. The program was authorized and 
funded in section 6030 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 
2002, Public Law 107-171. The Act provides that if the Secretary 
approves a national strategic investment plan submitted by the National 
Board, the Secretary shall transfer $100,000,000 for planning grants and 
innovation grants to Regional Boards from the Commodity Credit 
Corporation, to remain available until expended. However, in 2004 these 
funds were blocked from being spent. In 2006, the Budget cancels these 
funds because there is little likelihood that the funds will ever be 
obligated and the program purpose is redundant with the mission of Rural 
Development.

    This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who, in turn, 
re-lend the funds to small rural businesses, community development 
corporations, and other organizations for the purpose of improving 
economic opportunities in rural areas. Through the use of local 
intermediaries, this program serves small-scale enterprises and gives 
preference to those communities with the greatest need. In 2006 the 
Budget provides $34 million in loans for this purpose.

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

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

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

    The Rural Business Investment Program is authorized under 7 U.S.C. 
2009cc. The purpose of this program is to promote economic development 
and the creation of wealth and job opportunities in rural areas and 
among individuals living in those areas by encouraging developmental 
capital investments in smaller enterprises primarily located in rural 
areas. RBS may enter into participation agreements with rural business 
investment companies and may guarantee debentures of rural business 
investment companies to enable each rural business investment company to 
make developmental venture capital investments in smaller enterprises in 
rural areas. Grants will be made to rural business investment companies 
and other entities for the purpose of providing operational assistance 
to smaller enterprises financed by rural business investment companies. 
The Rural Business Investment Program was authorized and provided 
mandatory funding by section 6029 of the Farm Security and Rural 
Investment Act of 2002, Public Law 107-171. The Act provides such sums 
as may be necessary for the cost of guaranteeing $280 million of 
debentures and $44 million to make grants, an estimated total of 
$100,000,000, to remain available until expended from the funds of the 
Commodity Credit Corporation.

    In 2005, the program is limited to $10 million. For 2006, the Budget 
cancels unobligated balances, leaving zero for these purposes. This is 
the expected obligation amount for these funds because, like many new 
business programs, the target community takes a while to develop. The 
split of debentures, grants, and administrative expenses in 2005 and out 
will be determined as Rural Development works with Small Business 
Administration to implement this program.

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

    Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements is 
authorized under 7 U.S.C. 8106. This program provides direct loans, loan 
guarantees, and grants to farmers, ranchers, and small rural businesses 
to purchase renewable energy systems and make energy efficiency 
improvements. The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, Public 
Law 107-171, dated May 13, 2002, provides mandatory funding for this 
program. Of the funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation, the Secretary 
shall make available $23,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2003 through 
2007. In 2005, the full $23 million is blocked from being spent. 
Similarly, in 2006 the full $23 million in 2006 funds is canceled. 
However, $10 million in discretionary funding is provided for this 
purpose to ensure that any unmet need by other Federal programs can 
potentially be accomodated.

    The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) 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.

    USDA will propose rule changes to require recertification of rural 
status for each electric and telecommunications borrower on the first 
loan request received in or after 2006 and on the first loan request 
received after each subsequent Census.

    USDA will determine if the current method of issuing loans, ``first 
in; first out,'' provides adequate support to the areas with the highest 
priority needs. USDA will complete an analysis of electric loans made in 
2002 and 2003 to determine the characteristics of the communities to 
which the loans are going, who the loans are supporting, benefits 
derived from the loans by the communities, and how many loans and 
dollars are going to support poverty areas.

    RUS will rescind loans obligated, but not issued, more than ten 
years ago. Most electric loans obligated more than ten years ago have 
either been issued or cancelled. However, current law prohibits the 
rescission of telecommunications loans in most instances. This has 
resulted in many outstanding obligations that are older than ten years. 
Since loans are issued for specific projects, and technology is changing 
at a very fast pace, it is doubtful that the original project will be 
accomplished ten years after a loan is approved. Legislation will be 
proposed to allow the rescission of all electric and telecommunications 
loan obligations that are more than ten years old.

    As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account 
records, for rural electrification and telecommuni

cations programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct and 
guaranteed 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.

cations programs, all cash flows to and from the Government resulting 
from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed prior to 1992. 
All new activity in RETRF in 1992 and beyond is recorded in 
corresponding program and financing accounts.
    The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) will continue to service all loans 
in this account providing business management and technical assistance 
to the borrowers on a regular basis over the life of the loans.
    RUS will rescind loans obligated, but not issued, more than ten 
years ago. Most electric loans obligated more than ten years ago have 
either been issued or cancelled. However, current law prohibits the 
rescission of telecommunications loans in most instances. This has 
resulted in many outstanding obligations that are older than ten years. 
Since loans are issued for specific projects, and technology is changing 
at a very fast pace, it is doubtful that the original project will be 
accomplished ten years after a loan is approved. Legislation will be 
proposed to allow the rescission of all electric and telecommunications 
loan obligations that are more than ten years old.
    Rural electric.--This program is financed through RUS direct loans 
for the construction and operation of generating plants, electric 
transmission, and distribution lines or systems.
    The following tables reflect statistics on loans made through the 
liquidating account only. Since 1992 new electric and telephone loans 
have been made through a separate program account.

    The President's Budget proposes no more federally funded loans. 
Additional telecommunication loan funds are proposed for the cost of 
money telecommunication loans to maintain the level of funds available 
to rural telecommunication borrowers. Funding for the Rural Telephone 
Bank's (RTB) administrative expenses will be transferred from the 
unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating account. The Budget directs 
dissolution of the RTB by paying out all stock. This will allow the RTB 
to close as the demand for private lenders has been fulfilled through 
other sources. In addition, the stockholders will obtain a cash payout 
for their stock while removing this cumbersome program from the 
government.

    RUS will rescind loans obligated, but not issued, more than ten 
years ago. Current law prohibits the rescission of RTB loans in most 
instances. This has resulted in many outstanding obligations that are 
older than ten years. Since loans are issued for specific projects, and 
technology is changing at a very fast pace, it is doubtful that the 
original project will be accomplished ten years after a loan is 
approved. Legislation will be proposed to allow the rescission of all 
RTB loan obligations that are more than ten years old.

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

    As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account 
records, for the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB), all cash flows to and from 
the Government resulting from direct loans obligated prior to 1992. This 
account is shown on a cash basis. All new activity in this program in 
1992 and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing 
accounts. Funding for salaries and expenses will be transferred from the 
unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating account in 2006.

    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 RTB required by 
law. The President's Budget proposes that the RTB make no more 
Federally-funded loans.

    RUS will rescind loans obligated, but not issued, more than ten 
years ago. Current law prohibits the rescission of Rural Telephone Bank 
loans in most instances. This has resulted in many outstanding 
obligations that are older than ten years. Since loans are issued for 
specific projects, and technology is changing at a very fast pace, it is 
doubtful that the original project will be accomplished ten years after 
a loan is approved. Legislation will be proposed to allow the rescission 
of all RTB loan obligations that are more than ten years old.

    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 
canceling mandatory funding for 2006 and the carryover balances from 
2004 and 2005. The Budget provides discretionary funding for loans to 
finance installation of broadband transmission capacity (the necessary 
fiber optic cable capacity needed in order to provide any enhanced 
services such as the Internet or high speed modems) to and through rural 
communities, as authorized by the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, 7 
U.S.C. 901 et seq.

    Due to defaults in 2003, the subsidy rate for the Distance Learning 
and Telemedicine (DLT) program increased significantly. Since there is 
little demand for the DLT loans and the loans now cost the Government, 
the Budget proposes to not provide any DLT loans in 2006.

    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 these loan programs, all cash flows to and from the 
Government resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees 
committed prior to 1992. All new activity in these programs 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.

    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 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 62 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. FAS analyzes agricultural information 
essential to the assessment of foreign supply and demand conditions in 
order to provide estimates of the current situation and to forecast the 
export potential for specific U.S. agricultural commodities.

    Financial marketing assistance: FAS administers a number of price/
credit and risk assistance programs designed to leverage overseas market 
expansion for U.S. agricultural, fish, and forest products. These 
programs include CCC Export Credit Guarantee Programs, 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 promotes trade 
capacity building, fosters world food security, and deploys USDA 
resources and expertise to advance market-based policies, trade and 
investment, sustainable agricultural systems, and agricultural research 
and education in developing countries and emerging markets. FAS also 
provides linkages to worldwide agricultural resources and international 
organizations to gain access to emerging technologies that can help 
create new U.S. agricultural products and markets. Direct program 
activities include administering the Cochran Fellowship Program and 
managing USDA's bilateral exchange and cooperative research programs 
with foreign governments and institutions. The Emerging Markets Program, 
which provides technical assistance and related activities, facilitates 
international agribusiness relationships, enhances food systems in 
developing and transitional countries, and helps expand U.S. 
agricultural exports.

    FAS also administers food assistance activities such as Public Law 
480, Title I; Food for Progress; Section 416(b); and the McGovern-Dole 
International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. 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 not displacing expected commercial sales. 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. The International Food for Education Program provides for the 
donation of U.S. agricultural commodities and associated technical and 
financial assistance to carry out preschool and school feeding programs 
in foreign countries.

    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.

    Trade Adjustment Assistance for farmers (TAA) is authorized by Title 
II of the Trade Act of 1974 as amended by Subtitle C of Title I of the 
Trade Act of 2002. The statute authorizes appropriations to the 
Department of Agriculture not to exceed $90 million for each of the 
fiscal years 2003 through 2007 to carry out the program.

    The statute requires the Secretary of Agriculture to provide funds 
to eligible agricultural producers when: (a) the current year's price of 
an agricultural commodity is less than 80 percent of the national 
average price for such commodity for the five marketing years preceding 
the most recent market year; and (b) increases in imports contributed 
importantly to the decline in the price, as determined by the Secretary.

    TAA provides producers of raw commodities, who have been adversely 
affected by import competition, free technical assistance and cash 
benefits of up to $10,000 per year.

    TAA covers farmers, ranchers, fish farmers, and fishermen competing 
with imported aquaculture products. It does not cover the forest 
products industry.

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

                                


 
                       FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

    USDA has multiple food aid programs that provide U.S. commodities, 
technical and financial assistance to address hunger and malnutrition 
needs worldwide. USDA, working with USAID, delivers food aid programs to 
meet emergency needs and fosters economic development activities to 
alleviate global food insecurity.

    Included in this category are the following activities carried out 
under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, 
Public Law 480, 83rd Congress, as amended (P.L. 480): 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 (title I); for dispositions abroad (titles 
II and III); and for furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for 
Progress Act of 1985, as amended. Agreements may provide for commodities 
to be made available on a multi-year basis. During 2003, USDA began 
implementation of the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and 
Child Nutrition Program authorized by the 2002 Farm Bill. USDA also has 
a commodity reserve in the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust for 
unanticipated, emergency food aid needs.

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 under this 
title for non-emergency assistance for least-developed countries and for 
urgent and extraordinary relief.

    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.

    Financing sales of agricultural commodities for dollars on credit 
terms (title I).--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.

    Payment by developing countries or private entities may be made over 
a period of not more than 30 years with a deferral of principal payments 
for up to 5 years. Interest accrues at a concessional rate as determined 
appropriate.

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

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

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

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

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

    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. P.L. 480 funds reimburse 
the Corporation for all of the cost items authorized above.

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

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

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

    Food Stamp Program costs are not fully predictable. In the event 
that actual program needs exceed budget estimates, the budget provides a 
$3 billion contingency reserve. The budget also proposes indefinite 
funding authority which would make funds available in the last four 
months of the fiscal year if program needs exceed the anticipated level.

    This schedule shows the net effects of three legislative proposals. 
First, the Budget proposes to limit Food Stamp categorical eligibility 
status to households which receive Supplemental Security Income or 
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families cash assistance. Second, the 
Budget proposes to allow States to use the National Directory of New 
Hires to verify Food Stamp participants' employment and wage 
information. Finally, this schedule includes the Food Stamp effects of 
the child support proposals in the President's welfare reauthorization 
plan.

    The 155 National Forests, 20 National Grasslands, and six 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; law enforcement operations; and hazadous fuels 
reduction. These programs maintain the capability to manage natural 
resources in a manner consistent with ecological principles and 
responsibilities.

    The President's Healthy Forest Initiative marks a clear and decisive 
change in direction to remove the causes of severe wildfires instead of 
enduring season after season of devastating fires. Key to this effort is 
the reduction of dense undergrowth that fuels catastrophic fires through 
thinning and prescribed burns. Consistent with the Healthy Forests 
Initiative's focus on management and making better use of existing 
resources, the budget puts additional discretion into the hands of on-
the-ground managers by funding hazardous fuels activities within the 
National Forest System. Funds are included within the National Forest 
System account to conduct all hazardous fuel reduction activities to 
minimize the risk of catastrophic wildfire to communities and natural 
resources by reducing hazardous fuels in forests, woodlands, shrublands, 
and grasslands. Funds are provided to plan, implement, and monitor 
treatments that include prescribed fire, mechanical treatment, and 
chemical treatment.

    In previous years, hazardous fuels funding was appropriated in the 
Wildland Fire Management Account. Transferring hazardous fuels 
activities to the National Forest System will expand coordination and 
also work cohesively with other vegetation management activities on the 
national forests to create a landscape pattern that effectively lessens 
the likelihood of large fires. The focus of the majority of treatments 
is on priority fire-prone landscapes in order to make an efficient and 
effective difference.

    This budget places additional emphasis on hazardous fuels funding 
that expands economic opportunities for rural communities that have 
experienced adverse economic impacts associated with Federal timber 
harvest reductions coupled with an increased threat of wildfire. The 
budget retains the authority to use funds for contracts, utilizes 
appropriate competitive sourcing, and provides an expanded authority for 
local hire. Finally, the budget reflects anticipated increases in fuels 
treatments through increased efficiencies resulting from the use of the 
stewardship contract authority and other administrative and productivity 
improvements resulting from the President's Healthy Forests Initiative.

    Included within the National Forest System account are funds to 
rehabilitate fire damaged wildlands and restore ecosystems impacted by 
wildland fires. This funding will permit immediate actions to reduce 
threats to public safety, property and natural and cultural resources, 
and long-term actions to help restore healthy ecosystems and replace 
infrastructure damaged by fire. Funding will be used to improve overall 
watershed condition and restore severely burned forests and rangeland 
through activities that include reforestation, water

[[Page 181]]

shed restoration, road and trail rehabilitation, fish and wildlife 
habitat restoration, planting and seeding and preventing invasive 
plants.

    The Budget includes a significant reform of the Forest Service that 
streamlines its organization, improves accountability, and focuses on 
measurable results in the management of our national forests. 
Specifically, the Budget will reduce overhead, business management, and 
other indirect costs by one-third to improve efficiency and program 
delivery. Results will improve in two ways. First, national forest 
operations will be transformed by making additional ``on-the-ground'' 
resources available for resource management projects that meet the 
objectives of the President's Healthy Forest Initiative. Secondly, the 
administration and execution of programs will be enhanced through 
improvements in management accountability, reporting relationships, and 
oversight.

    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.

    Infrastructure Improvement.--Ameliorates 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 funds are for repair and 
rehabilitation of existing facilities and roads; funds may not be used 
for new and expanded facilities or roads. The budget reflects Forest 
Service improvements in addressing the deferred maintenance backlog 
based upon agency implementation of PART recommendations.

    Forest Service Research & Development (FS R&D) is one of the world's 
leading forestry research organizations. It conducts ecological and 
social science research to understand ecosystems, how humans influence 
those ecosystems, and how forests can be managed sustainably to enable 
both environmental conservation and economic expansion. Research is 
conducted at six Research Stations, the Forest Products Laboratory, and 
the International Institute of Tropical Forestry located in Puerto Rico.

    In 2006, the body of knowledge and technologies will be expanded to 
improve forest and rangeland managers' abilities to reintroduce fire to 
its natural role, control exotic plants, insects, and pathogens, and 
keep losses from native insects and pathogens to an acceptable level. FS 
R&D researchers will be answering land managers' scientific questions 
about fire behavior, risk assessment and mitigation for multiple 
hazards, and utilization opportunities for the biomass that contributes 
to overcrowded, unhealthy forests. Increased funding will be provided 
for invasive species to accelerate research vital to a rapid management 
response; and watershed research to provide improved tools for land 
managers to restore native vegetation on sites disturbed by fire, and 
address other issues such as climate change.

    The Forest Inventory and Analysis program will continue to provide 
up-to-date information on status and trends in America's forest 
resources including the distribution and type of forest; growth, 
harvest, and mortality; forest structure and composition; soils; 
vegetative diversity; and fuel loads.

    Efficient delivery of science is essential to successful 
implementation of the President's Healthy Forest Initiative. The budget 
includes funds to optimize the delivery of research findings by 
improving Forest Service management of investments in research, 
development, and applications. Funds will be targeted to leading-edge 
technical assistance on a competitive basis. The Budget also also 
emphasizes increasing the amount of research conducted on an extramural 
basis.

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

    Forest Health Management.--Includes Federal lands and cooperative 
lands.

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

    Cooperative Forestry.--Includes forest stewardship, the forest 
legacy program, urban and community forestry and forest resources and 
information analysis. This budget maintains the integrity of our 
country's valuable forest lands through the Forest Legacy program, a 
Federal program that partners with States to protect environmentally 
sensitive forest lands and the Forest Stewardship program, which will 
bring professional assistance to non-industrial private forest (NIPF) 
landowners to encourage sound environmental management of forests and to 
assist the social, economic, and environmental benefits of these lands.

    International Programs.--The programs will emphasize habitat 
protection for migratory birds along the length of flyways, preventing 
the introduction of new invasive species, and sustainable forestry 
techniques development for other timber exporting nations.

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

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

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

    Fire Operations.--To appropriately suppress wildland fires on or 
threatening NFS lands or other lands under fire protection agreement. 
The Budget provides full funding of the ten-year average of suppression 
costs, adjusted for inflation.

    The budget addresses Federal wildfire suppression costs that have 
exceeded $1 billion for four out of the last five years. Specifically, 
the Administration proposes that the Forest Service:

     LImplement cost containment performance measures and 
clearer rules concerning the use of suppression resources, including 
incentives for rapid demobilization.

     LImplement key recommendations of the PART review on the 
fire program to improve accountability for fire costs and improves 
performance measurement.

     LProvide for greater program accountability at national 
headquarters.

     LImplement the agency's stratified supression cost model.

     LAllocate not less than 50% of suppression funds to Forest 
Service regions and permit regions to retain the majority of unobligated 
funds for use in hazardous fuels reduction activities in subsequent 
fiscal years.

    Additionally, Fire Operations funds are used to immediately and 
efficiently rehabilitate severely burned NFS lands to prevent further 
destruction of natural resources and property, including soil loss and 
flooding. Funds are used to provide an appropriate level of fire 
preparedness when predicted or actual burning conditions exceed normal 
levels and are also used to support the joint fire sciences program.

    Funds are provided to enhance State and private programs that will 
contribute to cooperative fire assistance, increased fire department 
readiness, and forest health programs to reduce fire risk. Funds would 
also be available to facilitate and expedite USDA and Department of the 
Interior jointly funded wildland fire management programs and projects.

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

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

    Recreation Fee Program.--Pursuant to Sec. 8 of Division J--
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005, Title VII--Federal Lands 
Recreation Enhancement Act, 2005, Public Law 108-447 of December 8, 
2004, the Secretary may establish, modify, charge, and collect 
recreation fees at Federal recreational lands and waters, including 
specific recreation sites or areas, for expanded recreation amenities, 
and special recreation permits. Amounts collected shall be used for 
repair, maintenance, interpretation, visitor information, limited 
habitat restoration, and direct operating or capital costs and other 
identified appropriate expenses.

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

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

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

    Payments to Counties, National Grasslands.--This program provides an 
annual payment to counties in which Title III--Bankhead-Jones Acquired 
Lands are located for funding public schools and roads. Of the net 
revenues for use of Title III--Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act lands, 25 
percent is paid to the counties in which such lands are located for 
public school and road purposes (7 U.S.C. 1012).

    Payments to States.--The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-
Determination Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-393 dated October 30, 2000) provides 
stabilized education and road maintenance funding through predictable 
payments to counties, job creation in those counties and other 
opportunities associated with the restoration, maintenance and 
stewardship of Federal lands. Under P.L. 106-393, counties may elect one 
of two methods to calculate Payments to States funding they receive. 
Counties can either choose to continue receiving funds established by 
the 25 percent fund or they can receive their share of the State's 
``full payment amount.'' Full payment amount is the average of the 
highest three years of payments to the State under the 25 percent fund 
through the years 1986-1999. A county's share of that amount is 
generally determined by the State in cooperation with the affected 
counties.

National Forest timber to dispose of or treat slash and other debris 
that result from cutting operations (16 U.S.C. 490).

    prevention campaign (16 U.S.C. 580(2)).
        Woodsy Owl.--For promoting wise use of the environment and 
    programs which foster maintenance and improvement of environmental 
    quality (16 U.S.C. 580(1)).

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

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

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

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

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

    Valles Caldera Fund established under the Valles Caldera 
Preservation Act (Public Law 106-248) provides funds, which shall be 
available without further appropriation for any purpose consistent with 
the purposes of the Act. Notwithstanding sections 1341 and 3302 of title 
31 of the United States Code, all monies received from donations under 
subsection (g) or from the management of the Preserve shall be retained 
and shall be available, without further appropriation, for the 
administration, preservation, restoration, operation and maintenance, 
improvement, repair, and related expenses incurred with respect to 
properties under its management jurisdiction.

    Forest Botanical Products.--This pilot program established by 
Section 339 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of FY 2000 (P.L. 106-
113) provides for the recovery of fair market value for the sale of 
forest botanical products; the collection of fees to cover the costs of 
analyzing, granting, modifying, and monitoring the harvest of these 
products; the determination of sustainable harvest levels; and the 
establishment of personal use levels for which fees would not be 
collected.

[[Page 191]]

    Administration of Rights-of-Way and Other Land Uses.--Fees collected 
from applicants and holders of special use authorizations are available 
to recover costs for processing applications and monitoring compliance

    A proposal for a Facilities Acquisition and Enhancement Fund would 
enable the Secretary to sell unneeded administrative sites including 
facilities and appurtenant administrative land, and to use the proceeds 
for acquiring administrative lands, construction, maintenance, 
rehabilitation and improvement of administrative sites. The agency 
currently experiences a $2.8 billion backlog that has accumulated 
because of inadequate and untimely maintenance. Over 60 percent of the 
agency's facilities are over 30 years old and functionally obsolete.

    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.

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

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

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

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

    The Budget includes a proposal for the establishment of a working 
capital fund for facilities. Establishment of this authority will reduce 
the Forest Service's maintenance costs and expand efforts to address its 
deferred maintenance backlog. The authority will support facility and 
space management investment expenses for Forest Service real property, 
including owned and leased space. The working capital fund will be used 
for funding capital repair, renovation, rehabilitation, maintenance, 
disposal, or replacement of buildings and improvements.
