Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO USDA's BioPreferred Program is charged with administering the voluntary USDA Certified Biobased Product label, which was mandated by both the 2002 and 2008 Farm Bills. In 2011, USDA authorized the use of a label for biobased products that producers can use in advertising their products. To ensure the integrity of the label, the Budget requests authority for USDA to: (1) impose civil penalties on companies who misuse the label; and (2) assess each producer who applies to use the label a fee to fund a program audit. This fee, which will begin to be collected once authorizing legislation is enacted, has been given broad support by potential users who commented on the labels proposed rule, which was issued in May 2010.

Economic Research Service Economic Research Service Economic Research ServiceFor necessary expenses of the Economic Research Service, $77,723,000 $77,397,000. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.) The Economic Research Service provides economic and other social science research and analysis to inform public and private decision making on agriculture, food, natural resources, and rural America. The Agency's mission is to anticipate food, agricultural, agri-environmental, and rural development issues that are on the horizon, and to conduct sound, peer-reviewed economic research. ERS is also the primary source of statistical indicators that, among other things, gauge the health of the farm sector (including farm income estimates and projections), assess the current and expected performance of the agricultural sector (including trade), and provide measures of food security here and abroad. Most of the Agency's research is conducted by a highly-trained staff of economists and social scientists through an intramural program of research, market outlook, and analysis. Five principles characterize ERS' core program: 1) Research that builds on unique or confidential data sources at the Federal level and is inherent in the role of a Federal Statistical Agency, including the Agricultural Resource Management Survey and associated farm and farm household finance estimates and research, consumer data, and development of USDA's commodity market outlook; 2) Research that provides coordination for a national perspective or framework, setting a single standard; 3) Research that requires a sustained investment and large teams; 4) Research that directly services the U.S. Government or USDA's long-term national goals such as the cost to the economy of sickness and premature death due to foodborne illnesses for FSIS, rural definition analysis for Rural Development, and conservation program options for theFarm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service; and 5) Research that addresses questions with short-run payoff or has immediate policy implications.ERS draws on the expertise of external collaborators through grants and cooperative research agreements for issues that require expertise beyond the scope of the current program or that require knowledge of state or regional issues. Areas of research that are supported by extramural agreements include: 1) Analyses requested by the Congress and USDA program agencies on high priority topics including food deserts, potential market and environmental effects of feedstocks for advanced biofuels, and local food marketing channels; 2) The Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Program (FANRP), which funds economic research on USDA's domestic food and nutrition assistance programs, including major research themes of diet and nutritional outcomes, food program targeting and delivery, and program dynamics and administration; 3) The Economics of Markets for Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (EMAGG), which funds economic research in three broad areas related to U.S. agricultural participation in proposed greenhouse gas markets that apply directly to participation in all markets for environmental services; and 4) The Program of Research on the Economics of Invasive Species Management (PREISM), which funds extramural research to support the economic basis of decision making concerning invasive species issues, policies, and programs.The 2013 budget request of $77,397,000 is slightly less than the 2012 enacted budget level for ERS, and funds ERS' core programs. Additional funds received from other Governmental agencies may also be available for support of economic research and analysis.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1701–0–1–3522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

National Agricultural Statistics Service National Agricultural Statistics Service National Agricultural Statistics ServiceFor necessary expenses of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, $158,616,000 $179,477,000, of which up to $41,639,000 $62,500,000 shall be available until expended for the Census of Agriculture. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.) The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) provides the official National and State estimates of acreage, yield, and production of crops, stocks, value and expenditures associated with farm commodities, and inventory, values, and expenditures of livestock items. Data on approximately 120 crops and 45 livestock products are covered in over 500 reports issued each year. In addition, the Census of Agriculture, which is conducted every five years, 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. In order to support Administration priorities and improve efficiency, NASS has carefully completed a comprehensive review of existing programs to determine which programs are most critical to serving agency goals, with evaluations based on the following priorities: 1) Principal Economic Indicator data; 2) data which directly impact the market; 3) data necessary to implement the USDA programs which provide payments to farmers and are used to administer the farm safety net for producers; and 4) data for which there are no other publicly available sources of information. NASS has achieved success through several efficiencies: 1) completing the installation of equipment for and migration of the agency to the Centralized Local Area Network servers; 2) redesigning systems to work in a centralized virtual environment to enhance standardization and efficiency; 3) opening the National Operations Center to provide an infrastructure for increased telephone data collection capacity in a centralized environment, to centrally locate sampling frame activities and experts, and to improve training of telephone and field interviewers through focused and deliberate delivery of a standardized training protocol; 4) designing an innovative client computer assisted Personal Interviewing solution to facilitate quality and efficiency increases in our data collection program; 5) completing its second 48 state Cropland Data Layer in 2011 for the 2010 crop year with higher resolution, improving the accuracy of the classifications and the precision of the acreage estimates generated; and 6) installing video conferencing capabilities in its headquarters and field office locations, facilitating travel savings.The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years to take a snapshot of America's agriculture. The Census helps to measure trends and new developments in the agricultural sector of our Nation's economy. The Census is critical because it provides the only source of comparable and consistent detailed data about agriculture at the county level. NASS carefully reviewed existing programs to improve efficiency. The 2013 Budget request includes an increase to reflect the normal activity levels related to the cyclical nature of the 5-year Census of Agriculture program. 2013 represents the highest level of funding during the Census' five year cycle. Funding will be used to conduct peak data collection activities and processing for the Census of Agriculture. The additional funding is necessary for significant increases in data collection costs. In order to achieve an acceptable level of response in every county, or county equivalent, in the United States, NASS will conduct extensive phone follow-up to mail and web non-respondents. Additionally, NASS will conduct personal interviews for a small group of farmers and ranchers whose operations are critical because of their size or type of specialized agriculture production. NASS will also use field enumeration to collect information from minority and disadvantaged populations, such as American Indians and Hispanic producers. Historically, these groups have been hard to reach and under-represented in the Census.The 2013 request of $179,477,000 for NASS includes $62.5 million for the Census of Agriculture, is an increase of $20,861,000 over 2012 for cyclical needs for data collection including follow up contacts by phone or in person, and for data processing. Funding for onging programs in Agricultural Estimates, which will continue at the 2012 level of about $117 million, includes an increase of $3.4 million to improve the quality of survey data, offset by $3.4 million in savings due to improved efficiency.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).Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1801–0–1–3522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the principal in-house research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The ARS mission is to conduct research to develop and transfer solutions to agricultural problems of high national priority and to provide information access and dissemination to: ensure high-quality, safe food, and other agricultural products; assess the nutritional needs of Americans; sustain a competitive agricultural economy; enhance the natural resource base and the environment; and provide economic opportunities for rural citizens, communities, and society as a whole. The ARS' mission is carried out through its major research program areas and other activities listed below (in italics).ARS major research programs—New Products/Product Quality/Value Added; Livestock/Crop Production; Food Safety; Livestock/Crop Protection; Human Nutrition; and Environmental Stewardship—address the Department's priorities. ARS' 2013 Salaries and Expenses budget requests $1,102.6 million, including high priority increases of $75.4 million for new and expanded research initiatives in environmental stewardship; animal/crop breeding and protection; food safety; child and human nutrition; and the National Agricultural Library, as well as salary increases. In addition, the agency is requesting an increase of $3 million for the repair and maintenance of its laboratories/facilities. Offsetting ARS' requested increases are $70.5 million in proposed decreases from lower priority projects. The proposed reductions will provide necessary funding for the critical research priorities proposed by the agency for 2013.New Products/Product Quality/Value AddedARS has active research programs directed toward 1) improving the efficiency and reducing the cost for the conversion of agricultural products into biobased products and biofuels, 2) developing new and improved products to help establish them in domestic and foreign markets, and 3) providing higher quality, healthy foods that satisfy consumer needs in the United States and abroad. Environmental Stewardship—Water Quality; Air/Soil Quality; Global Climate Change; Range/Grazing Lands; Agricultural Systems IntegrationARS research programs in environmental stewardship support scientists in approximately 70 locations. Emphasis is given to developing technologies and systems that support profitable production and enhance the Nation's vast renewable natural resource base. ARS is currently developing the scientific knowledge and technologies needed to meet the challenges and opportunities facing U.S. agriculture in managing water resource quality and quantity under different climatic regimes, production systems, and environmental conditions. ARS air resources research is developing measurement, prediction, and control technologies for emissions of greenhouse gases, particulate matter, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds affecting air quality and land surface climate interactions. The agency is a leader in developing measurement and modeling techniques for characterizing gaseous and particulate matter emissions from agriculture. In addition, ARS is evaluating strategies for enhancing the health and productivity of soils, including developing predictive tools to assess the sustainability of alternative land management practices. Finding mechanisms to aid agriculture in adapting to changes in atmospheric composition and climatic variations is also an important component of ARS research. ARS range and grazing land research includes the conservation and restoration of the Nation's range land and pasture ecosystems and agroecosystems through improved management of fire, invasive weeds, grazing, global change, and other agents of ecological change. The agency is currently developing improved grass and forage legume germplasm for livestock, conservation, bioenergy, and bioproduct systems as well as grazing-based livestock systems that reduce risk and increase profitability. In addition, ARS is developing whole system management strategies to reduce production costs and risks. The 2013 Budget proposes increases to enhance the productivity of crop land; develop conservation practices that improve water and soil quality; enhance the quantity/quality of water resources; sustain agricultural production capacity over long periods at landscape scales; and adapt agricultural systems to climate variability and weather extremes. ARS' livestock production program is directed toward: 1) safeguarding and utilizing animal genetic resources, associated genetic and genomic databases, and bioinformatic tools; 2) developing a basic understanding of the physiology of livestock and poultry; and 3) developing information, tools, and technologies that can be used to improve animal production systems. The research is heavily focused on the development and application of genomics technologies to increase the efficiency and product quality of beef, dairy, swine, poultry, aquaculture, and sheep systems. Current areas of emphasis include increasing efficiency of nutrient utilization, increasing animal well-being and reducing stress in production systems, increasing reproductive rates and breeding animal longevity, developing and evaluating non-traditional production systems (e.g., organic, natural), and evaluating and conserving animal genetic resources. The 2013 Budget proposes increases to develop integrated production systems that incorporate enhanced germplasm and pest/pathogen/water/nutrient management strategies to improve production efficiencies and product quality in farm animals.ARS' crop production program focuses on developing and improving ways to reduce crop losses while protecting and ensuring a safe and affordable food supply. The research program concentrates on effective production strategies that are environmentally friendly, safe to consumers, and compatible with sustainable and profitable crop production systems. Research activities are directed at safeguarding and utilizing plant genetic resources and their associated genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic databases that facilitate selection of varieties and/or germplasm with significantly improved traits. Current research activities attempt to minimize the impacts of crop pests while maintaining healthy crops and safe commodities that can be sold in markets throughout the world. ARS is conducting research to discover and exploit naturally occurring and engineered genetic mechanisms for plant pest control, develop agronomic germplasm with durable defensive traits, and transfer genetic resources for commercial use. ARS provides taxonomic information on invasive species that strengthens prevention techniques, aids in detection/identification of invasive pests, and increases control through management tactics that restore habitats and biological diversity. The 2013 Budget proposes increases to enhance floral and nursery crop research and crop genetic resources to underpin food security.ARS' animal health program is directed at protecting and ensuring the safety of the Nation's agriculture and food supply through improved disease detection, prevention, control, and treatment. Basic and applied research approaches are used to solve animal health problems of high national priority. Emphasis is given to methods and procedures to control animal diseases. The research program has ten strategic objectives: 1) establish ARS laboratories into a fluid, highly effective research network to maximize use of core competencies and resources; 2) access specialized high containment facilities to study zoonotic and emerging diseases; 3) develop an integrated animal and microbial genomics research program; 4) establish centers of excellence in animal immunology; 5) launch a biotherapeutic discovery program providing alternatives to animal drugs; 6) build a technology driven vaccine and diagnostic discovery research program; 7) develop core competencies in field epidemiology and predictive biology; 8) develop internationally recognized expert collaborative research laboratories; 9) establish a best-in-class training center for our Nation's veterinarians and scientists; and 10) develop a model technology transfer program to achieve the full impact of ARS research discoveries. ARS current animal research program includes eight core components: 1) biodefense research, 2) animal genomics and immunology, 3) zoonotic diseases, 4) respiratory disease, 5) reproductive and neonatal diseases, 6) enteric diseases, 7) parasitic diseases, and 8) transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The 2013 Budget proposes increases to develop countermeasures and alternatives to antibiotics to prevent/treat pathogens affecting poultry and emerging diseases affecting farm animals.ARS' research on crop protection is directed toward epidemiological investigations to understand pest and disease transmission mechanisms, and to identify and apply new technologies that increase understanding of virulence factors and host defense mechanisms. Currently, ARS research priorities include: 1) identification of genes that convey virulence traits in pathogens and pests; 2) factors that modulate infectivity, gene functions, and mechanisms; 3) genetic profiles that provide specified levels of disease and insect resistance under field conditions; and 4) mechanisms that facilitate the spread of pests and infectious diseases. ARS is developing new knowledge and integrated pest management approaches to control pest and disease outbreaks as they occur. Its research will improve the knowledge and understanding of the ecology, physiology, epidemiology, and molecular biology of emerging diseases and pests. This knowledge will be incorporated into pest risk assessments and management strategies to minimize chemical inputs and increase production. Strategies and approaches will be available to producers to control emerging crop diseases and pest outbreaks. The 2013 Budget proposes increases to research soil microbial ecology and develop plant disease management strategies; enhance control of invasive pests (i.e. weeds, arthropod pests, etc.); protection of small fruit and nursery crops/potatoes/wheat from disease; and fungal disease protection in beans, sunflowers, and other crops. Assuring that the United States has the highest levels of affordable, safe food requires that the food system be protected at each stage from production through processing and consumption from pathogens, toxins, and chemical contaminants that cause diseases in humans. The U.S. food supply is very diverse, extensive, easily accessible, and thus vulnerable to the introduction of biological and chemical contaminants through natural processes, intentional means, or by global commerce. ARS' current food safety research is designed to yield science-based knowledge on the safe production, storage, processing, and handling of plant and animal products, and on the detection and control of toxin producing and/or pathogenic bacteria and fungi, parasites, chemical contaminants, and plant toxins. All of ARS' research activities involve a high degree of cooperation and collaboration with USDA's Research, Education, and Economics agencies, as well as with FSIS, APHIS, FDA, CDC, DHS, and the EPA. ARS also collaborates in international research programs to address and resolve global food safety issues. Specific research efforts are directed toward developing new technologies that assist ARS stakeholders and customers, that is, regulatory agencies, industry, and commodity and consumer organizations, in detecting, identifying, and controlling foodborne diseases that affect human health. The 2013 Budget proposes increases to identify and evaluate specific intervention strategies through the food production chain and expand research on antibiotic resistance.Maintenance of health throughout the lifespan along with prevention of obesity and chronic diseases via food-based recommendations are the major emphases of ARS human nutrition research program. These health-related goals are based on the knowledge that deficiency diseases are no longer important public health concerns. Excessive consumption has become the primary nutrition problem in the American population. This is reflected by increased emphasis on prevention of obesity from basic science through intervention studies to assessments of large populations. ARS' research program also actively studies bioactive components of foods that have no known requirement but have health promoting activities. Four specific areas of research are currently emphasized: 1) nutrition monitoring and the food supply, e.g., a national diet survey and the food composition databank; 2) dietary guidance f'or health promotion and disease prevention, i.e., specific foods, nutrients, and dietary patterns that maintain health and prevent disease; 3) prevention of obesity and related diseases, including research as to why so few of the population follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans; and 4) life stage nutrition and metabolism, in order to better define the role of nutrition in pregnancy and growth of children, and for healthier aging. The 2013 Budget proposes increases to add "functionality" to the Food Composition Database and link USDA/ARS food consumption survey data with Federal dietary policy guidance. Library and Information Services (NAL)The National Agricultural Library (NAL) is the largest and most accessible agricultural research library in the world. It provides services directly to the staff of USDA and to the public, primarily via the NAL web site, http://www.nal.usda.gov. NAL was created with the USDA in 1862 and was named in 1962 a national library by Congress, as the primary agricultural information resource of the United States. NAL is the premier library for collecting, managing, and disseminating agricultural knowledge. The Library is the repository of our Nation's agricultural heritage, the provider of world class information, and the wellspring for generating new fundamental knowledge and advancing scientific discovery. It is a priceless national resource that, through its services, programs, information products, and web-based tools and technologies, serves anyone who needs agricultural information. The Library's vision is "advancing access to global information for agriculture." The 2013 Budget proposes increases to develop unified accessible sources of databases (e.g. on carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions, conservation program benefits, etc.). Repair and Maintenance of FacilitiesFunds are used to restore, upgrade, and maintain ARS' facilities to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration and EPA requirements, provide suitable workspace for in-house research programs, and to retrofit existing structures for better energy utilization. The 2013 Budget proposes increases to address and reduce the backlog of needed facilities' repair and maintenance.ARS performs research activities and services for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies. These activities and services are paid for on a reimbursable basis.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1400–0–1–3522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) participates in a nationwide system of agricultural research 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.Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grantsSection 7406 of FCEA establishes the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). AFRI is a competitive grant program to provide funding for fundamental and applied research, extension, and education to address food and agricultural sciences. AFRI projects will address critical issues in U.S. agriculture in the areas of global food security and hunger; climate change; sustainable bioenergy; childhood obesity; and food safety. Addressing these critical issues will engage scientists and educators with expertise in plant health and production and plant products; animal health and production and animal products; food safety, nutrition, and health; renewable energy, natural resources, and environment; agricultural systems and technology; and agriculture economics and rural communities. AFRI allows greater flexibility in the types of projects funded to include: single function projects in research, education, and extension, and integrated research, education and/or extension awards. AFRI is the core competitive grant program for research, education, and extension. The 2013 Budget proposes to increase funding for AFRI from $264 million to $325 million, a 23 percent increase in this program from 2012. Payments under the Hatch ActFunds 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. The 2013 Budget includes $234.8 million, which is a $1.5 million decrease from the 2012 enacted level.Cooperative forestry researchThese 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. The 2013 Budget is funded at the same level as the 2012 enacted level, $32.9 million. Payments to 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University and West Virginia State UniversityFunds 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. The 2013 Budget is funded at the same level as the 2012 enacted level, $50.9 million.This program addresses research areas of national interest. The 2013 Budget includes $14.5 million for a grant program in sustainable agriculture. Funding for a grant program for global change is proposed at $1.4 million for research at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative. The 2013 Budget also includes for aquaculture centers at the same level as 2012 enacted, $3.9 million. 1994 Institutions ResearchThe 2013 Budget maintains funding at the 2012 enacted level of $1.8 million for the competitive research grants program to build research capacity at the thirty-four 1994 institutions by supporting agricultural research activities that address tribal, national and multistate priorities.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. The 2013 Budget includes $14.2 million, which is $3.7 million over the 2012 enacted level. Most of the increase will support the Electronic Grants Administration System. 2013 funding is proposed for graduate fellowships grants at $3.8 million, challenge grants at $5.6 million, Hispanic-serving institutions education grants program at $9.2 million, and a multicultural scholars program at $1.2 million. Funding is also proposed for Native American institutions at $3.3 million, Alaska Native-serving and Native Hawaiian-serving Institutions at $3.2 million, Secondary Education/ Two-Year Post-secondary Education and Agriculture in the K-12 Classroom at $1.0 million, and Grants for Insular Areas programs at $1.6 million. These programs enable universities to broaden their curricula; and 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. The 2013 Budget proposes $19.3 million for a capacity building program at the 1890 institutions as part of the USDA initiative to strengthen these institutions through a broadening of curricula, and increased faculty development and student research projects. Funding is also proposed in the 2013 Budget, at $4.8 million, for the Veterinary Medical Services Act to provide incentives to hire Federal veterinarians to work in shortage areas. Funds support basic and applied agriculture research and activities performed for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies.Native American Institutions Endowment Fund The 2013 Budget includes the same level as 2012 enacted, $11.9 million, for an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions (34 Tribally controlled colleges) to strengthen the infrastructure of these institutions and develop Indian expertise for the food and agricultural sciences and businesses and their own communities. At the termination of each fiscal year, the Secretary withdraws the income from the endowment fund for the fiscal year, and after making adjustments for the cost of administering the fund, distributes the adjusted income on a formula basis to the 1994 land-grant institutions.Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities Endowment FundThis endowment fund for Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities will launch the production of skilled and marketable Hispanic student population for employment in the food and agriculture sector. Over the next ten years, the Endowment will lead to significant and measurable enhanced competence and marketability of Hispanic students in the food and agricultural sciences. The 2013 Budget includes $10 million for this proposed fund.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1500–0–1–3522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)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 non-formal educational network combines the expertise and resources of Federal, State, and local partners. The partners in this unique System are: a) The National Institute of Food and Agriculture 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. The 2013 Budget proposes Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) programs to be funded at $292.4 million, which is a $1.6 million decrease from the 2012 enacted level.Extension resources are provided to the States by these formula funds and competitively-awarded programs such as sustainable agriculture.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.) The Secretary of Agriculture established the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) on April 2, 1972, under the authority of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1953 and other authorities. The mission of the Agency is to protect the health and value of American agriculture and natural resources and is carried out using three major areas of activity, as follows: Safeguarding and Emergency Preparedness/Response - APHIS monitors plant and animal health throughout the world and uses the information to set effective agricultural import policies to prevent the introduction of foreign plant and animal pests and diseases. Should a pest or disease enter the United States, APHIS works cooperatively with other Federal, State, and industry partners to conduct plant and animal health monitoring programs to rapidly diagnose them and determine if there is a need to establish new pest or disease management programs. APHIS, in conjunction with States, industry, and other stakeholders, protects American agriculture by eradicating harmful pests and diseases or, where eradication is not feasible, by minimizing their economic impact. APHIS makes judicious use of resources by identifying instances when neither eradication nor management may be possible. The Agency monitors endemic pests and diseases through surveys to detect their locations and works with States and other programs to enact regulatory controls and conduct outreach to prevent the spread of pests and diseases into non-infested parts of the country. The Agency maintains a cadre of trained professionals prepared to respond immediately to potential animal and plant health emergencies. Program personnel investigate reports of suspected exotic pests and diseases and take emergency action if necessary. Through its Wildlife Services program, APHIS protects agriculture from damage caused by animal predators through identification, demonstration, and application of the most appropriate methods of control. The Agency's regulations also allow the benefits of genetic research to safely enter the marketplace, while protecting against the release of potentially harmful organisms into the environment. APHIS also conducts diagnostic laboratory activities that support the Agency's veterinary disease and plant pest prevention, detection, control, and eradication programs. The Agency also provides and directs technology development to support plant and animal protection programs of the Agency and its cooperators at the State, national, and international levels.Safe Trade and International Technical Assistance - Sanitary (animal) and phytosanitary (plant) (SPS) regulations can have a significant impact on market access for the United States as an exporter of agricultural products. APHIS plays a central role in resolving technical trade issues to ensure the smooth and safe movement of agricultural commodities into and out of the United States. APHIS helps to protect the United States from emerging plant and animal pests and diseases while meeting obligations under the World Trade Organization's SPS agreement by assisting developing countries in improving their safeguarding systems. APHIS develops and implements programs designed to identify and reduce agricultural pest and disease threats while still outside of U.S. borders, to enhance safe agricultural trade, and to strengthen emergency response preparedness. Animal Welfare - The Agency conducts regulatory activities to ensure the humane care and treatment of animals, including horses, as required by the Animal Welfare Act of 1966 as amended (7 U.S.C. 2131–2159), and the Horse Protection Act of 1970 as amended (15 U.S.C. 1821–1831). These activities include inspection of certain establishments that handle animals intended for research, exhibition, and sale as pets, and monitoring of certain horse shows. APHIS' 2013 budget request of $762 million is an overall reduction of $54 million from 2012. One priority for APHIS is continuing implementation of the revamped Animal Disease Traceability program. The Agency has proposed an increase to support the efforts, while proposing reductions in other areas. Some reductions are a result of programs achieving success, such as nearing eradication for the cotton pests of pink bollworm and boll weevil, and the Agency's enhanced ability to prepare for, detect, and respond to avian health issues. Other reductions are due to a change in focus for managing pests and diseases such as the movement towards education and outreach to prevent the human assisted spread of tree and wood pests, and the changing Federal responsibilities and contributions towards addressing cervid health issues where success relies heavily on the actions of producers and industry. In an effort to further right-size activities, APHIS reviewed animal health surveillance plans and identified areas where current plans exceed what is required for international trading standards as well as collection approaches to increase efficiencies, resulting in significant savings for the Agency in 2013 represented in the animal health lines. Additionally, the Agency identified $5.3 million in reductions related to changes in efficient operations and practices.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1600–0–1–3522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Food Safety and Inspection Service Food Safety and Inspection ServiceFor necessary expenses to carry out services authorized by the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act, including not to exceed $50,000 for representation allowances and for expenses pursuant to section 8 of the Act approved August 3, 1956 (7 U.S.C. 1766), $1,004,427,000 $995,503,000; and in addition, $1,000,000 may be credited to this account from fees collected for the cost of laboratory accreditation as authorized by section 1327 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 138f): Provided, That funds provided for the Public Health Data Communication Infrastructure system shall remain available until expended: Provided further, That no fewer than 148 full-time equivalent positions shall be employed during fiscal year 2012 2013 for purposes dedicated solely to inspections and enforcement related to the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act: Provided further, That the Food Safety and Inspection Service shall continue implementation of section 11016 of Public Law 110–246: Provided further, That this appropriation shall be available pursuant to law (7 U.S.C. 2250) for the alteration and repair of buildings and improvements, but the cost of altering any one building during the fiscal year shall not exceed 10 percent of the current replacement value of the building. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The primary objective of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is to ensure that meat, poultry, 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. In carrying out this mission, FSIS oversight responsibility covers a significant percentage of American spending on food. Providing adequate resources for Federal food safety agencies is a priority of the Administration. The 2013 Budget proposes $995.5 million for inspection of meat, poultry and egg products, which is a $8.9 million decrease from the 2012 enacted level. The proposed budget contains an increase for installing time clocks in plants for accurate timekeeping and a decrease due to implementation of new methods of poultry inspection. In addition, the budget proposes two user fees. The first is a performance-based user fee, which will be charged to plants that have sample failures or require additional inspection activities due to regulatory non-compliance. The second one is a basic inspection user fee that would recover a part of the cost of providing basic inspections at covered establishments and plants, as determined by the Secretary.FEDERALLY FUNDED INSPECTION ACTIVITIESFEDERALLY FUNDED INSPECTION ACTIVITIES2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration Salaries and ExpensesFor necessary expenses of the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, $37,750,000 $40,261,000: Provided, That this appropriation shall be available pursuant to law (7 U.S.C. 2250) for the alteration and repair of buildings and improvements, but the cost of altering any one building during the fiscal year shall not exceed 10 percent of the current replacement value of the building. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.) The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration's (GIPSA) Grain Regulatory Program promotes and enforces the accurate and uniform application of the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA) and applicable provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. GIPSA identifies, evaluates, and implements new or improved techniques for measuring grain quality. GIPSA also establishes and updates testing and grading standards to facilitate the marketing of U.S. grain, oilseeds, and related products. GIPSA briefs foreign buyers, assesses foreign inspection and weighing techniques, and responds to foreign quality and quantity complaints. GIPSA's Packers and Stockyards Program (P&SP) promotes fair business practices, financial integrity, and competitive environments to market livestock, meat, and poultry. Through its oversight activities, including monitoring programs, reviews, and investigations, P&SP fosters fair competition, provides payment protection, and guards against deceptive and fraudulent trade practices that affect the movement and price of meat animals and their products. P&SP's work protects consumers and members of the livestock, meat, and poultry industries. P&SP enforces the Packers and Stockyards (P&S) Act, which prohibits unfair, deceptive, and unjust discriminatory practices by market agencies, dealers, stockyards, packers, swine contractors, and live poultry dealers in the livestock, meat packing, and poultry industries. The P&S Act provides an important safety net for livestock producers and poultry growers in rural America. P&SP conducts routine and ongoing regulatory inspections and audits to assess whether subject entities are operating in compliance with the Act, and conducts investigations of potential P&S Act violations identified by either industry complaints or previous GIPSA regulatory inspections. The 2013 Budget requests $40.3 million, an increase of $2.5 million above the 2012 enacted Level to purchase necessary equipment, including scientific equipment, supplies, and other support expenses.MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORSGrain Regulatory Program2011 actual2012 estimate2013 estimate

Limitation on Inspection and Weighing Services Expenses Limitation on Inspection and Weighing Services ExpensesNot to exceed $49,000,000 $50,000,000 (from fees collected) shall be obligated during the current fiscal year for inspection and weighing services: Provided, That if grain export activities require additional supervision and oversight, or other uncontrollable factors occur, this limitation may be exceeded by up to 10 percent with notification to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)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. 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. GIPSA supervises the inspection and weighing activities performed by its own employees. FGIS supervises 55 official private and state agencies: 43 official private agencies and seven official state agencies that are designated to provide official inspection and/or weighing services in domestic markets; four official state agencies that are delegated to provide mandatory official export inspection and weighing services and designated to provide official domestic inspection and weighing services within the state; and one official state agency that is delegated to provide mandatory official export inspection and weighing services within the state. GIPSA provides an appeal service of original grain inspections and a registration system for the grain exporting firms. Through support from the Association of American Railroads and user fees, GIPSA conducts a railroad track scale testing program. In addition, GIPSA provides grading services, on request, for rice and grain related products under the authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.2011 actual2012 estimate2013 estimate

Agricultural Marketing Service Marketing ServicesFor necessary expenses of the Agricultural Marketing Service, $82,211,000 $77,032,000: Provided, That this appropriation shall be available pursuant to law (7 U.S.C. 2250) for the alteration and repair of buildings and improvements, but the cost of altering any one building during the fiscal year shall not exceed 10 percent of the current replacement value of the building.Fees may be collected for the cost of standardization activities, as established by regulation pursuant to law (31 U.S.C. 9701). Limitation on Administrative ExpensesNot to exceed $62,101,000 $62,592,000 (from fees collected) shall be obligated during the current fiscal year for administrative expenses: Provided, That if crop size is understated and/or other uncontrollable events occur, the agency may exceed this limitation by up to 10 percent with notification to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)Agricultural Marketing Service activities assist producers and handlers of agricultural commodities by providing a variety of marketing-related services. These services continue to become more complex as the volume of agricultural commodities increases, as greater numbers 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 2013 Budget requests $77,032,000 for Marketing Services, $5.1 million below 2012. The individual Marketing Services activities include: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 standardizationNationally 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 on request for cotton and tobacco.Quarterly inspection of egg handlers and hatcheries is conducted to ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit for human consumption.MARKET NEWS PROGRAM2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Market protection and promotionThis 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, avocados, lamb, mangos and peanuts; 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. No funding is included in the 2013 Budget for this program.The Pesticide Data program develops comprehensive, statistically defensible information on pesticide residues in food to improve government dietary risk procedures.The 2013 Budget requests $15,330,000, an increase of $870,000 above the 2012 enacted level, to restore funding to 2011 levels in order to test grains and meats as well as to continue conducting water surveys.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.The Microbiological Data program collects information regarding the prevalence of food-borne pathogens and indicator organisms on domestic and imported fruits and vegetables. No funding is included in the 2013 Budget for this program.The Country of Origin Labeling program ensures that the public receives credible and accurate information on the country of origin of the covered commodities purchased.MARKET PROTECTION AND PROMOTION ACTIVITIES2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act Fund 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.The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act requires traders to have trust assets on hand to meet their obligations to fruit and vegetable suppliers. To preserve their trust and establish their rights ahead of other creditors, unpaid suppliers file notice with both the Department and their debtors that payment is due. The Act provides permanent authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license and reparation complaint filing fees.PERISHABLE AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES ACT ACTIVITIES2011 actual2012est.2013 est.

Funds for Strengthening Markets, Income, and Supply (section 32) Funds for Strengthening Markets, Income, and Supply (Section 32)(including transfers of funds)Funds available under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c), shall be used only for commodity program expenses as authorized therein, and other related operating expenses, except for: (1) transfers to the Department of Commerce as authorized by the Fish and Wildlife Act of August 8, 1956; (2) transfers otherwise provided in this Act; and (3) not more than $20,056,000 for formulation and administration of marketing agreements and orders pursuant to the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 and the Agricultural Act of 1961. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Agriculture Appropriations Act of 1935 established the Section 32 program (7 U.S.C. 612c) which provides that 30 percent of U.S. Customs receipts for each calendar year are transferred to this account within the Department of Agriculture. The purpose of the Section 32 program is three-fold: to encourage the exportation of agricultural commodities and products, to encourage domestic consumption of agricultural products by diverting them, and to reestablish farmers' purchasing power by making payments in connection with the normal production of any agricultural commodity for domestic consumption. There is also a requirement that the funds available under Section 32 shall be principally devoted to perishable agricultural commodities (e.g., fruits and vegetables). Program funds are used for a variety of purposes in support of the three primary purposes specified in the program's authorizing legislation. Funds may be used to stabilize market conditions through purchasing surplus commodities which are in turn, distributed to nutrition assistance programs. Program funds are also used to purchase commodities that are distributed to schools as part of Child Nutrition Programs entitlements. Furthermore, funds are transferred to the Food and Nutrition Service for commodity purchases under section 6 of the National School Lunch Act and other authorities specified in the Child Nutrition Programs appropriation.

Expenses and Refunds, Inspection and Grading of Farm Products Expenses and refunds, inspection and grading of farm productsThe Agricultural Marketing Service's 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.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–8015–0–7–3522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Milk Market Orders Assessment Fund 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. There are currently 10 Federally-sanctioned milk market orders in operation. 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 to the Agricultural Marketing Service. The majority of these funds are collected and deposited in checking and savings accounts in local banks, and disbursed directly by the market administrator. A portion of the funds collected are invested in securities such as certificates of deposit. 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 six 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–8412–0–8–3512011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Administrative and Operating Expenses Risk Management AgencyFor necessary expenses of the Risk Management Agency, $74,900,000: Provided, That the funds made available under section 522(e) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1522(e)) may be used for the Common Information Management System: Provided further, That not to exceed $1,000 shall be available for official reception and representation expenses, as authorized by 7 U.S.C. 1506(i). (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Risk Management Agency (RMA) was established under provisions of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act), P.L. 104–127, approved April 4, 1996. RMA is responsible for administration and oversight of programs authorized under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) and promotes the National welfare by improving the economic stability of agriculture through a secure system of crop insurance. This administrative expense account includes resources to maintain ongoing operations of the Federal crop insurance program and other functions assigned to RMA such as outreach and risk management education. This account covers expenses of national, regional and compliance offices located across the United States. The 2013 Budget maintains the 2012 enacted level of $74.9 million.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 Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Fund account. The funding in this account appropriately covers administrative activities for RMA where mandatory funding is not available and cannot be funded with funds from the Federal Crop Insurance Fund account.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–2707–0–1–3512011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

CorporationsThe following corporations and agencies are hereby authorized to make expenditures, within the limits of funds and borrowing authority available to each such corporation or agency and in accord with law, and to make contracts and commitments without regard to fiscal year limitations as provided by section 104 of the Government Corporation Control Act as may be necessary in carrying out the programs set forth in the budget for the current fiscal year for such corporation or agency, except as hereinafter provided. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.) Federal Crop Insurance User Fee Account Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Fund Federal Crop Insurance Corporation FundFor payments as authorized by section 516 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1516), such sums as may be necessary, to remain available until expended. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is a wholly owned government corporation created February 16, 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1501.) The program was amended by Public Law (P.L.) 96–365, dated September 26, 1980, to provide for nationwide expansion of a comprehensive crop insurance plan. The crop insurance program includes products involving yield and revenue insurance, pasture, rangeland and forage, livestock, and other educational and risk mitigation initiatives/tools to manage risk. FCIC is administered by the Risk Management Agency (RMA), and provides economic stability to agriculture through a secure system of crop insurance. FCIC provides to farmers a risk management program that protects against agricultural production losses due to unavoidable causes such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, wind, hurricane, tornado, lightning, and insects. In addition to these causes, revenue insurance programs are available to protect against loss of revenue stemming from low prices, poor yields, or a combination of both. Federal crop insurance is available through private insurance companies that market and service policies and also share in the risk. Thus, the program delivery is a joint effort between the Federal government and the private insurance industry. There were over 1.1 million policies written in crop year 2011 with over $11.8 billion in premiums and indemnities projected at about $11.9 billion. Crop insurance is available for more than 350 different commodities in over 3,162 counties covering all 50 states, and Puerto Rico. RMA continues to pursue initiatives to make higher levels of crop insurance protection more affordable and useful to producers and improve program integrity. The 2013 Budget requests $9.4 billion, an increase of $5.9 billion above the 2012 enacted level of $3.5 billion. Policy changes in the 2008 Farm Bill resulted in deferred payments for delivery expenses and underwriting gains until 2013. Timing shifts/accelerated premium collection in 2012 reduced the need for premium subsidy in the same year. As a result there appears to be a large increase for premium subsidy in 2013, when in actuality, it is a return to normal subsidy levels. The 2013 Budget continues to block spending for a good performance refund (GPR) program, which is projected to save $75 million per year. The GPR would have provided a refund of a portion of the farmer paid premium to producers who had a favorable loss experience. Producer premiums are already highly subsidized by taxpayers, and the Administration does not believe that providing an additional premium refund is warranted.Commercial insurance companies deliver crop insurance. For producers who obtain Catastrophic Crop Insurance (CAT), which compensates the farmer for losses exceeding 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 $300 per crop per county. Additional coverage is available to producers and is commonly referred to as "buy-up" coverage. 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 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 the 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. Revenue protection for specified products is provided by extending traditional multi-peril crop insurance protection, based on actual production history, to include price variability based on futures market prices. Producers have a choice of revenue protection (protection against loss of revenue caused by low prices, low yields, or a combination of both) or yield protection (protection for production losses only) within one Basic Provision and the applicable Crop Provision.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility the Budget includes four proposals. The proposals include programmatic changes that:1. Establish a reasonable rate of return to participating crop insurance companies. A USDA commissioned study found that when compared to other private companies, crop insurance companies rate of return on investment (ROI) should be around 12 percent, but that it is currently expected to be 14 percent. The Administration is proposing to lower the crop insurance companies' ROI to meet the 12 percent target. This proposal is expected to save about $1.2 billion over 10 years. 2. Reduce the reimbursement rate of administrative and operating expenses. The current cap on administrative expenses to be paid to participating crop insurance companies is based on the 2010 premiums, which were among the highest ever. A more appropriate level for the cap would be based on 2006 premiums, neutralizing the spike in commodity prices over the last four years, but not harming the delivery system. The Administration, therefore, proposes setting the cap at $0.9 billion adjusted annually for inflation. This proposal is expected to save about $2.9 billion over 10 years.3. Decrease the premium subsidy paid on behalf of producers by 2 percentage points. The proposal would reduce the premium subsidy levels by 2 percentage points for those policies that are currently subsidized by more than 50 percent. This proposal is expected to save about $3.3 billion over 10 years.4. Reduce the premium rate on catastrophic coverage to better reflect historical performance. This proposal would require that USDA reset premium rates to more accurately reflect the performance of the catastrophic portfolio. The proposal is expected to save about $255 million over 10 years.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)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; 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. FSA 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, FSA. 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. The 2013 Budget maintains the 2012 enacted level of the direct appropriation and program transfers at $1.5 billion. USDA's FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Rural Development 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. 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. Activities of the Agency include providing direct and counter-cyclical payments, providing marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments enabling recipients to continue farming operations without marketing their product immediately after harvest, and providing a financial safety net to eligible producers when natural disasters adversely affect their farming operation. These programs range from covering losses of; grazing under the Livestock Forage Disaster Program, orchard trees and nursery to help replant or rehabilitate trees under the Tree Assistance Program, crop production and quality under the Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments Program, production under the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program, livestock under the Livestock Indemnity Program, livestock, honeybees and farm raised fish for losses that are not covered under the previously listed programs under the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm Raised Fish. 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) conducting referendums and certifying results; (f) accepting farmer certifications and checking compliance for specific purposes; (g) processing commodity loan documents and issuing checks; (h) processing direct and counter-cyclical payments and issuing checks; (i) certifying payment eligibility and monitoring payment limitations; and (j) processing farm storage facility loans and issuing checks.Conservation and environmentThese programs assist agricultural producers and landowners in implementing practices to conserve soil, water, air, and wildlife resources on America's farmland and ranches to help protect the human and natural environment. Objectives of the Agency include improving environmental quality, protecting natural resources, 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 contracting, financial reporting, and other administrative operations processes. These activities include: (a) processing producer requests for conservation cost-sharing and issuing conservation reserve rental payments; and (b) transferring funds to the Natural Resources Conservation Service and other agencies for other conservation programs.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). FSA 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 activitiesFSA 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.

State Mediation GrantsFor grants pursuant to section 502(b) of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, as amended (7 U.S.C. 5101–5106), $3,759,000 $4,369,000. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)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. Current authority for the program under P.L. 111–233 expires September 10, 2015. The 2013 Budget requests $4.4 million for the program, which is $0.6 million above the 2012 enacted level. GRANT OBLIGATIONS2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

USDA Supplemental Assistance On May 25, 2007, the President signed into law the "U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007" (2007 Act), P.L. 110–28. The 2007 Act provided $2.8 billion in agricultural disaster aid for America's farmers and ranchers. Specifically, the 2007 Act provided funds for a Crop Disaster Program, Livestock Compensation Program, Livestock Indemnity Program, and Dairy Disaster Assistance Program. The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) published regulations in the Federal Register to implement the programs. In addition, FSA designed and developed software for sign-up and payment processes. The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 110–161, provided an additional $602 million under Sec. 743, which extended the period of eligibility for disaster assistance from February 28, 2007 to December 31, 2007. Outlays were first made in 2008 and continued into 2009, 2010 and 2011.

This account also includes three other programs authorized by the 2010 USDA Appropriations Act, P.L. 111–80. Section 748(a) appropriated $290 million for loss assistance payments to eligible dairy producers. FSA published regulations in the Federal Register to implement the program. Eligible producers received a one-time direct payment based on the amount of milk both produced and commercially marketed by their operation during the months of February through July 2009. Payments to eligible Dairy Economic Loss Assistance Payment (DELAP) program producers were issued in three payment phases. Phase I payments were issued in mid-December 2009 to eligible dairy producers with production records from previous participation in dairy programs administered by the FSA. Dairy producers who did not have production records at the FSA county office but submitted a request for DELAP benefits before the application deadline of Jan. 19, 2010, were issued payments in Phase II beginning June 18, 2010. DELAP Phase III was disbursed to eligible dairy producers that received DELAP benefits under Phase I or Phase II. Of the $290 million budgeted for DELAP, a total of $273 million was dispersed to eligible dairy producers under DELAP Phase I and Phase II in fiscal year 2010. The remaining $17 million minus a reserve established by FSA was dispersed during Phase III in fiscal year 2011. The 2013 Budget includes no funding for this program. In addition, Section 741 of P.L. 111–80 appropriated $3 million for a Durum Wheat Quality Program (DWQP) authorized by Section 1613 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, P.L. 110–246. DWQP signup period was from July 21, 2010, through September 15, 2010. In the first quarter of FY 2011, FSA disbursed $2,778,265 of the $2,849,958 of 2010 DWQP funding allotted to approximately 1,020 eligible durum wheat producers in 5 States (Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota). FSA held $150,042 of DWQP in reserve. The 2013 Budget includes no funding for this program. Section 741 of P.L. 111–80 also appropriated $2.6 million for a Geographically Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Program authorized by Section 1621 of P.L. 110–246. Program signup began on August 3, 2010, and ended on September 10, 2010. FSA received applications from 1,545 applicants. Payments were issued in 2011. Section 1275 of the 2011 Department of Defense and Full-Year Appropriations Act, P.L. 112–10 appropriated $1,996,000 for a Geographically Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Program. Signup was held in 2011 and payments will be made in 2012. Section 724 of the 2012 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, P.L. 112–55 also appropriated $1,996,000 for a Geographically Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Program. Signup will be held in 2012 and payment will be issued in 2013. The 2013 Budget includes no funding for this program.

Emergency Conservation Program 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. For 2011, no funding was provided for ECP; however, $28.011 million was allocated from prior year balances. Under the 2011 program, cost-sharing and technical assistance were provided in 24 States to treat farmlands damaged by drought, floods, ice storms, tornadoes, wildfires and other natural disasters. Outlays to States in 2011 totaled $35.1 million. For 2012, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012, P.L. 112–55 included $122.7 million for ECP for expenses resulting from major disasters declared pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). These funds are available until expended. The 2013 Budget does not propose funding for this program.

Grassroots Source Water Protection Program Grassroots Source Water Protection ProgramFor necessary expenses to carry out wellhead or groundwater protection activities under section 1240O of the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3839bb-2), $3,817,000, to remain available until expended. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Grassroots Source Water Protection Program (GSWPP) is a joint project by USDA's Farm Service Agency and the nonprofit National Rural Water Association. It is designed to help prevent source water pollution in States through voluntary practices installed by producers at the local level. GSWPP uses onsite technical assistance capabilities of each State rural water association that operates a wellhead or groundwater protection program in the State. State rural water associations can deliver assistance in developing source water protection plans within priority watersheds for the common goal of preventing the contamination of drinking water supplies. The 2008 Farm Bill authorizes this program to continue through 2012. While the 2012 enacted level included $3.8 million for GSWPP, the 2013 Budget proposes no funding for this program.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–3304–0–1–3022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

(including transfer of funds)For necessary expenses involved in making indemnity payments to dairy farmers and manufacturers of dairy products under a dairy indemnity program, such sums as may be necessary, to remain available until expended: Provided, That such program is carried out by the Secretary in the same manner as the dairy indemnity program described in the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 (Public Law 106–387, 114 Stat. 1549A-12). (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)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, conservation, and emergency loans to individuals. This account also includes funding for individual development account grants. Indian tribes and tribal corporations are eligible for Indian land acquisition loans, while individual Native Americans are eligible for loans for the purchase of highly fractionated Indian lands. Boll weevil eradication loans are available to eliminate the cotton boll weevil pest from infested areas. The 2013 Budget does not provide funding for guaranteed subsidized farm operating loans or direct conservation loans. The 2012 enacted level provided $108.2 million for loan subsidies, and the 2013 Budget requests $100.5 million for loan subsidies and grants, which is a decrease of $7.7 million. However, the 2013 Budget provides funding for similar loan levels to those provided in 2012, except for a decrease of $40 million in loan level for boll weevil eradication loans due to lower demand for the program as a result of recent progress made in actual eradication efforts. The 2013 Budget also provides an increase in loan level of $34.7 million for Emergency Loans, which have been funded through the use of carryover funds for the past several years. 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. For administrative costs, the 2012 enacted level provided $297.6 million, and the 2013 Budget requests $312.9 million, which is an increase of $15.3 million. Under the Dairy Indemnity Program, payments are made to farmers and manufacturers of dairy products who are directed to remove their milk or milk products from commercial markets because they contain residues of chemicals that have been registered and approved by the Federal Government, other chemicals, nuclear radiation, or nuclear fallout. Indemnification may also be paid for cows producing such milk. In 2011, $384,000 was paid to producers who filed claims under the program and the 2013 Budget requests such sums as may be necessary, which are estimated to be $100,000 for this program.

Commodity Credit Corporation Fund Commodity Credit Corporation Fundreimbursement for net realized losses(including transfers of funds)For the current fiscal year, such sums as may be necessary to reimburse the Commodity Credit Corporation for net realized losses sustained, but not previously reimbursed, pursuant to section 2 of the Act of August 17, 1961 (15 U.S.C. 713a-11): Provided, That of the funds available to the Commodity Credit Corporation under section 11 of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714i) for the conduct of its business with the Foreign Agricultural Service, up to $5,000,000 may be transferred to and used by the Foreign Agricultural Service for information resource management activities of the Foreign Agricultural Service that are not related to Commodity Credit Corporation business. Hazardous Waste Management(limitation on expenses)For the current fiscal year, the Commodity Credit Corporation shall not expend more than $5,000,000 for site investigation and cleanup expenses, and operations and maintenance expenses to comply with the requirement of section 107(g) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9607(g)), and section 6001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6961). (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)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. The following general assumptions form the basis for the Corporation's 2012 and 2013 budget estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2012 and 2013 from the present level; (b) 2012 crop production will increase from 2011 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2013 are expected to be higher than 2012 levels; and (d) yields for the 2012 crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends. It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the year ending September 30, 2013, 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, food, and energy needs here and overseas, and available dollar exchange.Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations.USDA has incorporated stochastic price and production variability into its 10-year budget baseline process starting with the 2007 President's Budget. For the 2011–2022 crops, Commodity Credit Corporation outlay projections for counter-cyclical payments, Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) payments, marketing loan benefits, and Milk Income Loss Contract payments are based on price probability distributions and flexibilities generated by the Economic Research Service's Food and Agricultural Policy Simulation model. This approach was used for feed grains (corn, barley, sorghum, oats), wheat, rice, upland cotton, soybeans, sugar, and dairy.2013 ESTIMATE [In millions of dollars]ProgramGross obligationsNet outlaysNet realized loss for year

PROGRAMS OF THE CORPORATION Price support, marketing assistance loans, and related stabilization programsThe 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 (1949 Act), as amended, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill), and the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill).Price support is mandatory for sugar and dairy products. Marketing assistance loans are mandatory for wheat, feed grains, oilseeds, upland cotton, peanuts, rice, and pulse crops. Loans are also required to be made for sugar, honey, wool, mohair, and extra long staple cotton.One method of providing support is loans to and purchases from producers. With limited exceptions, loans made on commodities are nonrecourse. The commodities serve as collateral for the loan and on maturity the producer may deliver or forfeit such collateral to satisfy the loan obligation without further payment. Direct purchases may be made from processors as well as producers, depending on the commodity involved. Also, special purchases are made under various laws for the removal of surpluses; for example, the Act of August 19, 1958, as amended, and section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended. Direct Payments and Counter-Cyclical PaymentsThe 2002 Farm Bill established direct payments and counter-cyclical payments for May 2002 through 2007. The payments were extended through the 2012 crop year by the 2008 Farm Bill. 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. The 2008 Farm Bill adds the following as eligible commodities: long grain and medium grain rice and pulse crops, expanded to include large chickpeas. 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 x payment acres x payment yield. At the option of the producer, the producer can choose to receive advance payments (up to 22 percent) 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. The direct payment rates established in the 2008 Farm Bill are the same as those in the 2002 Farm Bill; however, payment acres decrease from 85 percent to 83.3 percent of base acres for 2009–2011 crops, and no advance payments are available for the 2012 and subsequent crops.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. Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) PaymentsThe 2008 Farm Bill adds the ACRE program for the 2009–2012 crop years. Producers who elect to enroll a farm in ACRE are eligible for ACRE payments in lieu of counter-cyclical payments on the farm and in exchange for a 20 percent reduction in direct payments on the farm and a 30 percent reduction in the marketing assistance loan rates for all commodities produced on the farm except that the loan rate for seed cotton loans will not be so reduced. The election to enroll a farm in ACRE may be made for any of the crop years 2009–2012, but once the election is made, it is irrevocable through the 2012 crop.Marketing assistance loansThe 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. The 2008 Farm Bill establishes specific loan rates for long grain and medium grain rice and restricts loan rate adjustments to grade and quality factors. Also, large chickpeas are added as a new marketing assistance loan commodity with a higher loan rate than small chickpeas.Marketing loss assistance for asparagus producersThe 2008 Farm Bill authorizes the use of $15 million to make payments to 2007 crop asparagus producers. Of the total, $7.5 million was available to fresh market asparagus producers and $7.5 million was available to frozen market asparagus producers.Peanut price support programUnder the 2008 Farm Bill, peanuts qualify for ACRE or direct payments, counter-cyclical payments, marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments for the 2009 through 2012 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 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 2008 Farm Bill continues this rate. The payment rate shall be the amount by which the established loan rate exceeds the rate at which a loan may be repaid. 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 are being paid $7 per pound for the quota they hold. The actual producers are being 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 is 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 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. The 2008 Farm Bill provides for escalating rates through crop year 2012. For raw cane sugar, the rate increases to 18.25 cents per pound for 2009, 18.5 cents per pound for 2010 and 18.75 cents per pound for 2011–2012. For refined beet sugar, the rates for crop year 2009–2012 are the raw cane sugar rate times 1.285. 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 extend 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 percent 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 percent of raw cane or refined beet sugar rate times the quantity of sugar transferred. The loan program will continue through the 2012 crop. The 2002 Farm Bill did not resume the sugar marketing assessment collections but authorized marketing allotments. The 2002 Act provided assistance for sugar donations in the amount of 10,000 tons to compensate sugar producers who suffer losses incurred beyond existing CCC administered programs. This assistance was a one-time occurrence.The 2008 Farm Bill extends the marketing allotment provisions of the 2002 Act, except they are now permanent and cannot be set at a level less than 85 percent of estimated sugar deliveries for human consumption. The 2008 Farm Bill introduces the Feedstock Flexibility Program, which requires the diversion of sugar from food use to ethanol producers, if needed, to keep sugar prices above levels at which sugar processors might otherwise forfeit sugar under loan to the CCC. 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 3.7 percent 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 to make monthly payments when milk prices fall below specified levels. The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (P.L. 110–28) extended the MILC program through September 2007. The 2008 Farm Bill replaces the price support program of the 2002 Farm Bill with the Dairy Product Price Support Program, which is effective for calendar years 2008–2012. It requires the Secretary to support the price of cheddar cheese, butter and nonfat dry milk through purchases of such products at prices not less than $1.13 per pound for cheddar cheese in blocks, not less than $1.10 per pound for cheddar cheese in barrels, not less than $1.05 per pound for butter, and not less than $0.80 per pound for nonfat dry milk. Purchase prices for milk products may be adjusted lower based on preset levels of product net removals. The 2008 Farm Bill extends the MILC program through September 30, 2012. The payment calculation percentage is raised from 34 percent to 45 percent and the payment quantity is raised from 2,400,000 to 2,985,000 million pounds per fiscal year effective October 1, 2008 through August 31, 2012. A feed cost adjuster is added that raises the $16.94 base price when the national average ration cost exceeds $7.35 per hundredweight for a given month.Section 748(a) of the fiscal year 2010 USDA Appropriations Act, P.L. 111–80, appropriated $60 million for the purchase of cheese and cheese products, which the Commodity Credit Corporation finished procuring in fiscal year 2011. 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 one or more covered commodities may not exceed $40,000. The 2008 Farm Bill rescinds the three entity rule for payment limitation purposes for the 2009–2012 crops. Instead, payments are tracked as received directly or indirectly by an individual person or legal entity (otherwise termed direct attribution). Except for participants who elect to receive ACRE payments, the direct payment limitation remains at $40,000 for covered commodities in the 2008 Farm Bill, with a separate $40,000 payment limitation for peanut direct payments. The payment limitation on counter-cyclical payments made to a person during any crop year for one or more covered commodities continues at $65,000 in the 2008 Farm Bill, except for participants who elect to receive ACRE payments. For counter-cyclical payments, there is a separate $65,000 payment limitation for peanut counter-cyclical payments. For producers that receive ACRE payments, the payment limit is $65,000 plus the amount their direct payments are reduced due to their participation in ACRE. 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 for crop years 2002–2008. The 2008 Farm Bill rescinds the payment limitation for both marketing loan gains and loan deficiency payments beginning with the 2009 crop. 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. The 2008 Farm Bill extends these provisions through the 2008 crop year, but makes commodity program payments subject to farm and nonfarm adjusted gross income (AGI) limits for 2009–2012 crop years. The AGI attributable to farming activities is adjusted farm gross income (AFGI), and the AGI attributable to other activities is adjusted nonfarm gross income (ANGI). If AFGI exceeds $750,000, the person or entity is ineligible to receive commodity program payments, and if ANGI exceeds $500,000, the person or entity is ineligible to receive payments. Commodity program payments include direct, counter-cyclical, ACRE, loan deficiency, marketing loan gain, NAP, supplemental crop disaster assistance, MILC, and trade adjustment assistance payments. The 2012 Enacted level included a general provision that prohibited direct payments to individuals or entities with an average adjusted gross income in excess of $1 million. The 2013 Budget does not continue this limitation. Noninsured Assistance ProgramThe 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 and provided additional funding in 2002 with annual increases through 2010. The 2008 Farm Bill amended the payment limitation provisions to conform with direct attribution of payments to a person of legal entity.Foreign Market Development and Food Assistance ProgramsDairy 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 2002–2012. Actual DEIP subsidies are further limited on a product-by-product basis under the Uruguay Round.Export Enhancement Program (EEP)The 2008 Farm Bill eliminated authority for the program.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 2008 Farm Bill continued the authority for the MAP program with funding of $200 million for 2008–2012. Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMD) and Quality Samples ProgramUnder 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 2002 through 2007 and the 2008 Farm Bill continues this funding level for 2008–2012. In addition, the budget proposes to increase discretionary funding for the program in fiscal year 2011 by $34.5 million as part of a broader government wide initiative to increase export promotion. 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.The 2008 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 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 $55 million of the funds of the Corporation (exclusive of the costs of commodities) may be used for each fiscal year.The Bill Emerson Humanitarian TrustThe Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust (BEHT) is a commodity and/or monetary reserve designed to ensure that the United States can meet its international food aid commitments. Assets of the Trust can be released any time the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development determines that Title II of the Food for Peace Act funding for emergency needs is inadequate to meet those needs in any fiscal year. When a release from the Trust is authorized, the Trusts assets cover all commodity costs associated with the release. All non-commodity costs, including ocean freight charges; internal transportation, handling, and storage overseas; and certain administrative costs are paid by CCC. The 2008 Farm Bill extended the authorization to replenish the BEHT through 2012. Conservation ProgramsConservation programs administered by the Farm Service Agency and the Natural Resources Conservation Service are funded through the Commodity Credit Corporation. These programs 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. Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)Administered by FSA, 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 converted to buffers , and cropland that can serve as restored or constructed wetlands, 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.CRP was established by the 1985 Food Security Act and amended and extended under subsequent farm bills. Most recently, the 2008 Farm Bill (P.L. 110–246) re-authorized CRP through September 30, 2012; permits CRP to enroll up to 32 million acres at any one time beginning October 1, 2009; expanded Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP) eligibility; included provisions for funding a tree thinning cost-share program; and included a program transitioning expiring CRP lands from retiring producers to beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers.In addition to FWP, CRP also enrolls land through general signups, Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) signups, and non-CREP continuous signups. FWP operates on a continuous basis. Under general signup provisions, producers compete nationally during specified enrollment periods for acceptance based on an environmental benefits index. Under continuous signup provisions, producers enroll specified high-environmental value lands such as wetlands, riparian buffers, and various types of habitat at any time during the year without competition. General signups were held in fiscal years 2010 and 2011, in which 4.0 million acres and 2.7 million acres, respectively, were enrolled. Under continuous signup, including CREP and FWP, a combined total of 5.1 million acres were under contract as of the end of fiscal year 2011. About 67,000 acres are projected to be enrolled under continuous signup in fiscal year 2012. Fiscal year 2011 ended with 31.1 million acres under contract. With contracts expiring on 4.4 million acres on September 30, 2011 and contracts beginning on 2.7 million acres from FY 2011's general signup and 200,000 acres of continuous signup, 2012 enrollment began with 29.6 million acres under contract. General and continuous signup are assumed to be held annually with enrollment projected to range between 30 and 32 million acres throughout the baseline period. The budget includes a 5.4 million acre general signup in 2012. For those conservation programs administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), funding 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; the Wetlands Reserve Program; the Wildlife Habitat Incentives program; the Farmland Protection Program; the Conservation Security Program; the Conservation Stewardship Program; the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Program; the Agriculture Water Enhancement Program; the Healthy Forest Reserve Program; and the Grassland Reserve Program. NRCS also receives funding from the CCC to carry out technical assistance for the Conservation Reserve Program and to carry out part of the Agricultural Management Assistance Program (see below).Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP)was established by the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended with the passage of the Food, Conservation, and Energy act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill). VPA-HIP is a competitive grant program, with up to $50 million available through FY 2012. Funding is limited to State and tribal governments establishing new public access programs, expanding existing public access programs, and/or enhancing wildlife habitat on lands enrolled in public access programs.The primary objective of the VPA-HIP is to encourage owners and operators of privately-held farm, ranch, and forest land to voluntarily make that land available for access by the public for wildlife-dependent recreation, including hunting or fishing, under programs implemented by State or tribal governments. VPA-HIP will provide environmental, economic and social benefits including, but not limited to, enhanced wildlife habitat, improved wildlife populations, increased revenue for rural communities, and expanded opportunities for re-connecting Americans with the great outdoors. To date, nearly $30 million of VPA-HIP funding has been obligated to 26 state fish and wildlife agencies and one tribal government entity. Pursuant to the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112–55), no funding is available for VPA-HIP in 2012. The 2013 Budget proposes funding for a similar program to be administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP)The 2008 Farm Bill amended the 2002 Farm Bill to authorize this program to support the establishment and production of eligible crops for conversion to bioenergy in selected BCAP project areas; and to assist agricultural and forest land owners and operators with the collection, harvest, storage, and transportation of eligible material for use in a biomass conversion facility. BCAP is a primary component of the domestic agriculture, energy, and environmental strategy to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil, improve domestic energy security, reduce carbon pollution, and spur rural economic development and job creation. BCAP is the only federal program focused on growing the crops needed for bioenergy production (heat, power, liquid fuels). BCAP provides two categories of assistance: (1) establishment costs and annual payments to produce eligible biomass crops; and (2) matching payments for the delivery of eligible material to qualified biomass conversion facilities by eligible material owners.For matching payments in FY 2011, BCAP made a total investment (obligation) of approximately $2 million supporting the collection, harvest, storage and transportation of nearly 45,000 dry tons of herbaceous crop residue (corn stover) for conversion to bioenergy in fiscal year 2011. For establishment and annual payments in FY 2011, BCAP processed the submission of project proposals seeking more than $1 billion to enroll more than 1.5 million acres. FSA designated nine project areas targeting acreage signup in FY 2011 of 117,184 acres. BCAP project area signups were held from May to September 2011, resulting in the enrollment of over 48,000 acres for four different feedstocks (camelina, native grasses, miscanthus & hybrid poplar) with intended conversion to fuel pellets, biodiesel, bio-ethanol, jet fuel drop-ins (hydro carbons) and biobased products. Total project area investment (obligation) of approximately $54 million: $35 million for five-year contracts on herbaceous crops and approximately $19 million for the support of woody crops (hybrid poplar) over eleven years. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112–55) limits funding for the program to $17 million.Agricultural Management Assistance ProgramThe 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 states in which Federal Crop Insurance Program participation is historically low as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary delegated authority to implement this program to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency, and the Agricultural Marketing Service. The 2008 Farm Bill increased funding to $15 million for 2008–2012 and increased to 16 the number of States eligible to participate. P.L. 112–55 reduced the total from $15 million to $10 million and the 2013 Budget maintains this level. Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve Program (EFCRP)The Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act of 2006, P.L. 109–148, as amended by P.L. 109–234 and P.L. 110–28, mandates that the Secretary shall carry out an emergency pilot program in States that the Secretary determines have suffered damage to merchantable timber in counties affected by hurricanes during the 2005 calendar year. The Act provided $404.1 million for this program, called the Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve Program (EFCRP). P.L. 109–234 increased funding for EFCRP by $100 million, to $504.1 million. P.L. 110–28 lifted a restriction limiting the program to calendar year 2006. EFCRP enrollment during calendar year 2006 was 180,175 acres. Signup ended on December 31, 2006 and resumed in August 2007. Since then an additional 114,143 acres have been enrolled. There were 294,318 acceptable acres as of December 2011. These acres do not count against the 32 million acres CRP maximum program authority.

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.'' 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 2011 and 2012. 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.FINANCINGThe 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.POSITION WITH RESPECT TO BORROWING AUTHORITY, END OF YEAR[In millions of dollars]Item2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

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.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.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.The net realized losses of the Corporation have previously been reimbursed as follows: SUPPORT AND RELATED PROGRAMS[In millions of dollars]2011 actual

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility the Budget includes three proposals. The proposals include programmatic changes that:1. Eliminate direct paymentsThe direct payment program provides producers fixed annual income payments for covered commodities based upon historical planted acres and yields. Payments are made regardless of whether the farmer is currently producing those crops—or any crop, for that matter. Direct payments do not vary based upon actual production or prices. As a result, landowners receive direct payments during times of record profitability. In a period of severe fiscal restraint, these payments are no longer defensible. Eliminating direct payments would increase revenue based commodity payments and would save the Government roughly $3 billion per year.2. Cap the Conservation Reserve Program Acreage. —Private lands conservation efforts play a critical role in conserving the Nations soil, water, and related natural resources. The Administration is very supportive of programs that create incentives for private lands conservation and has made great strides in leveraging these resources with those of other Federal agencies towards greater landscape-scale conservation. However, in light of the current economic realities and to reduce the deficit, the Administration proposes to cap the maximum allowable acreage enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program at 30 million acres, saving roughly $977 million over 10 years when compared to the 2013 Budget's baseline. 3. Extend disaster assistance using mandatory funding. —The Administration strongly supports disaster assistance programs that protect farmers in their time of greatest need. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 provided producers with mandatory disaster assistance programs for the 2008 to 2011 crops. To strengthen the safety net, the Administration proposes to extend these programs, or similar types of disaster assistance that are of a similar cost, for the 2013 to 2017 crops. The programs provide financial assistance to producers when they suffer actual losses in farm revenue, loss of livestock or the ability to graze their livestock, loss of trees in an orchard, and other losses due to diseases or adverse weather.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–4336–4–3–9992011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Commodity Credit Corporation Export Loans Program Account Commodity Credit Corporation Export (Loans) Credit Guarantee Program Account(including transfers of funds)For administrative expenses to carry out the Commodity Credit Corporation's export guarantee program, GSM 102 and GSM 103, $6,820,000 $6,806,000; to cover common overhead expenses as permitted by section 11 of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act and in conformity with the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, of which $6,465,000 $6,452,000 shall be transferred to and merged with paid to the appropriation for "Foreign Agricultural Service, Salaries and Expenses'', and of which $355,000 $354,000 shall be transferred to and merged with paid to the appropriation for "Farm Service Agency, Salaries and Expenses''. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)This is the program account for the GSM-102 CCC Export Credit Guarantee Program. The GSM-102 Export Credit Guarantee Program covers credit terms of up to three years. Under this program, 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 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 program are determined in large part by the obligor's sovereign or non-sovereign country risk grade. These grades are developed annually by the International Credit Risk Assessment System Committee (ICRAS). In unusual circumstances, an ICRAS grade for a country may change during the fiscal year. The default estimates for GSM-102 guarantees still use the ICRAS grades, but are now based on programmatic experience and country-specific assumptions rather than the government-wide risk premia used previously.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 2013 Budget displays the GSM loan guarantee volume, the subsidy level that can be justified by forecast economic conditions, and the expected supply/demand conditions of countries requesting GSM loan guarantees. The 2013 Budget includes $6.8 million for administrative expenses, the same as the 2012 enacted level.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1336–0–1–3512011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Farm Storage Facility Loans Program Account Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) ProgramThe FSFL program was established by the Commodity Credit Corporation (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 available storage. The program was implemented in 2000 by CCC under Section 504(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 expanded the loan limits, term limits, and eligible commodities for which facilities can be financed by the program. The program now provides producers financing with seven, ten, or twelve-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 LoansThe 2002 Farm Bill, as amended by the 2008 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 seven 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 present value basis, and the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–3301–0–1–3512011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Agricultural Disaster Relief Fund The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill), P.L. 110–246, provides for Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance under Sec.12033 and 15101. This includes the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund, which is composed of amounts equivalent to 3.1 percent of the amounts received in the general fund of the U.S. Treasury during 2008–2011 attributable to the duties collected on articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The fund has authority to borrow and make repayable advances that are such sums as may be necessary to make up the fund's budget authority. Advances to the fund must be repaid with interest to the general fund of the U.S. Treasury when the Secretary of the Treasury determines that funds are available in the trust fund. Obligations of $1,018,002,352 were incurred and total outlays were $1,220,780,832 in 2011, as shown in the table below. Unobligated balances carried over to 2011 of $165,134,338 and obligated repayable advances of $400,000,000 provided the funding for 2011 obligations. In 2011, the amount of customs receipts credited to the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund receipt account totaled $904,708,177. Available budget authority totaling $485,094,851 was carried forward into 2012 as an unobligated balance.Fiscal Year 2011 Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund Obligations and Outlays[In millions of dollars]PROGRAMSOBLIGATIONSOUTLAYS

Natural Resources Conservation Service Conservation OperationsFor necessary expenses for carrying out the provisions of the Act of April 27, 1935 (16 U.S.C. 590a-f), including preparation of conservation plans and establishment of measures to conserve soil and water (including farm irrigation and land drainage and such special measures for soil and water management as may be necessary to prevent floods and the siltation of reservoirs and to control agricultural related pollutants); operation of conservation plant materials centers; classification and mapping of soil; dissemination of information; acquisition of lands, water, and interests therein for use in the plant materials program by donation, exchange, or purchase at a nominal cost not to exceed $100 pursuant to the Act of August 3, 1956 (7 U.S.C. 428a); purchase and erection or alteration or improvement of permanent and temporary buildings; and operation and maintenance of aircraft, $828,159,000 $827,500,000, to remain available until September 30, 2013, of which $12,500,000 shall be for the Common Computing Environment 2014: Provided, That appropriations hereunder shall be available pursuant to 7 U.S.C. 2250 for construction and improvement of buildings and public improvements at plant materials centers, except that the cost of alterations and improvements to other buildings and other public improvements shall not exceed $250,000: Provided further, That when buildings or other structures are erected on non-Federal land, that the right to use such land is obtained as provided in 7 U.S.C. 2250a. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)Through the Conservation Technical Assistance (CTA) Program, NRCS provides agricultural producers, private landowners, conservation districts, Tribes, and other organizations with the knowledge and conservation tools they need to conserve, maintain, and improve our natural resources. This assistance comes in the form of both individual and landscape-scale conservation plans which contain optimal strategies tailored to protect the resources on the land they manage. Actions described in the plans help land managers reduce erosion; protect water quality and quantity; address air quality; enhance the quality of fish and wildlife habitat; improve long-term sustainability of all lands; and facilitate land use changes while protecting and sustaining our natural resources. In addition, legislation will be submitted for a user fee that helps cover the costs of conservation planning services. The 2013 Budget requests $728.8 million, a decrease of $0.6 million from the 2012 enacted level. MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

The primary focus of the Soil Survey Program is to provide current and consistent map interpretations and data sets of the soil resources of the United States. Managing soil as a strategic natural resource is a key component to the vitality of the Nation's rural economies. Scientists and policy makers use soil survey information in studying climate change and evaluating the sustainability and environmental impacts of land use and management practices. Soil surveys are used by planners, engineers, farmers, ranchers, developers, and home owners to evaluate soil suitability and make management decisions for farms, home sites, subdivisions, commercial and industrial sites, and wildlife and recreational areas. NRCS is the lead Federal agency for the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS), a partnership of Federal land management agencies, State agricultural experiment stations, private consultants, and State and local governments. NRCS provides the scientific expertise to enable the NCSS to develop and maintain a uniform system for mapping and assessing soil resources. The 2013 Budget maintains the 2012 enacted level of $80 million.MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Snow survey and water supply forecastingThe water supply forecasts are used by individuals, Tribes, organizations, and government for decisions relating to agricultural production, hydroelectric power generation, fish and wildlife management, municipal and industrial water supply, reservoir managements, urban development, flood control, recreation, and water quality management. The 2013 Budget maintains the 2012 enacted level of $9.3 million. Operation of plant materials centersThe identification, testing, evaluation, and demonstration of plants and plant technologies to solve natural resource problems and improve the utilization of natural resources are made at 27 plant materials centers (25 NRCS-managed and 2 with partial NRCS-funding) to determine suitability for erosion control, cropland soil health and productivity, restoring wetland, improving water quality, improving wildlife habitat (including pollinators), protecting streambank and riparian areas, stabilizing coastal dunes, producing biomass, improving air quality, and addressing other conservation treatment needs. Plant materials centers document and transfer plant science technology in fact sheets, technical notes, the Field Office Technical Guide, and transferred to the public on the Web. Work at plant materials centers is the foundation of vegetative recommendations for NRCS and many other Federal and State agencies. The 2013 Budget maintains the 2012 enacted level of $9.4 million.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1000–0–1–3022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L.110–246), amended Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 and reauthorized a number of USDA's conservation programs. As noted below, a number of conservation programs were extended in the 2013 Budget's baseline based upon scorekeeping conventions and/or language included in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–55). For conservation programs where NRCS is the lead implementation agency, funds are transferred from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to the Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs account. This account funds the cost-share, monitoring, easement, financial assistance, and technical assistance costs necessary for delivering the following programs: Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)This program is authorized under Section 1237 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The authority provides for up to 3,041,200 acres to be enrolled in the program. The purpose of the WRP is to preserve, protect, and restore valuable wetlands. The program's authority to enroll new easements expires at the end of 2012 and is not assumed to extend in the 2013 Budget's baseline. Therefore, the 2013 Budget includes funding to support monitoring, restoration and maintenance of easements enrolled before September 30, 2012. Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)This program is authorized under section 1240 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Section 716 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–55) reauthorized the program through 2014, and the 2013 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond that date in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. The purpose of the program is to promote agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible national goals. The 2013 Budget proposes $1.403 billion for this program and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2013. Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP)This program is authorized by Section 1240I of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Under AWEP, NRCS enters into partnership agreements with eligible entities to promote ground and surface water conservation or improve water quality on agricultural lands. The program's authority to use CCC funds expires at the end of 2012; however, the 2013 Budget's baseline assumes extension of this program for scorekeeping purposes. Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)This program is authorized by Section 1238D of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Section 716 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–55) reauthorized the program through 2014 and the 2013 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond that date in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. The program encourages producers to address resource concerns in a comprehensive manner by undertaking additional conservation activities and improving, maintaining and managing existing conservation activities. The 2013 Budget proposes $972 million for this program to enroll 12,009,368 acres and proposes to permanently reduce the program by 759,632 acres. This program is the successor to the Conservation Security Program, which was not continued in the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 except as necessary to support contracts entered into before September 30, 2008. The 2013 Budget proposes $182 million for the Conservation Security Program.Farmland Protection Program (FRPP)This program is authorized under Section 1238I of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Section 716 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–55) reauthorized the program through 2014 and the 2013 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond that date in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. This program protects soil by limiting nonagricultural use of prime and unique farm and ranch land. Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP)This program is authorized by Section 1240N of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Section 716 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–55) reauthorized the program through 2014 and the 2013 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond that date in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. The program develops habitat for upland wildlife, wetland wildlife, threatened and endangered species, fish, and other wildlife. The 2013 Budget's baseline assumes extension of WHIP and proposes a level of $73 million, while proposing to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount in 2013.Grassland Reserve Program (GRP)This program is authorized by Section 1238N of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The purpose of the program is to assist landowners in restoring and protecting grassland. The program's authority to use CCC funds to enroll new easements expires at the end of 2012. As a result, the 2013 Budget only includes funding to support easements enrolled before September 30, 2012.Chesapeake Bay Watershed Program (CBWP)This program is authorized by Section 1240Q of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. It helps agricultural producers improve water quality and quantity and restore, enhance and preserve soil, air and related resources in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed through the implementation of conservation practices. The program's authority to use CCC funds expires at the end of 2012; however, the 2013 Budget's baseline assumes extension of this program for scorekeeping purposes. Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Technical AssistanceThe CRP is authorized by Sections 1231–1235A of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Although CRP is administered by the Farm Service Agency, NRCS provides technical assistance to producers to implement conservation practices on CRP land. FSA provides funds to NRCS as offsetting collections for this purpose in this account. The 2013 Budget assumes $108 million in technical assistance for NRCS support of CRP. In addition to the programs authorized under the Food Security Act of 1985, NRCS implements the following conservation programs:Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA)This program is authorized by Section 524(b) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1524(b)), as amended. It authorizes $15 million annually for fiscal years 2008 through 2012. Section 716 of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–55) reauthorized the program through 2014 and it is extended beyond that date in the baseline based upon permanent authority. This program is implemented by NRCS, the Agricultural Marketing Service, and the Risk Management Agency. The NRCS AMA activities are carried out in 16 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 to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality. The Budget proposes limiting the overall AMA program to $10 million in 2013, of which NRCS is limited to $2.5 million, and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2013.Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP)This program is authorized by Section 502 of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003, as amended. The program assists landowners in restoring, enhancing and protecting forest ecosystems on private lands to promote the recovery of threatened and endangered species, improve biodiversity, and enhance carbon sequestration. Authorization for mandatory funding for this program expires at the end of 2012. NRCS works to deliver 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.The U.S. has made great strides in improving water quality; however, nonpoint source pollution remains a significant challenge that requires policy attention and thoughtful new approaches. In 2013, the Budget suports an effort to better coordinate conservation efforts among key Federal partners, along with agricultural producer organizations, conservation districts, States, Tribes, NGOs and other local leaders to identify areas where a focused and coordinated approach can achieve substantial improvements in water quality. The Presidents Budget builds upon the collaborative process already underway among Federal partners to demonstrate substantial improvements in water quality from conservation programs by ensuring that USDAs key investments through Farm Bill conservation programs and related efforts are appropriately leveraged by other federal programs. Finally, as part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility the Budget reflects a proposal to reduce the Environmental Quality Incentives Program by -$100 million annually to generate outlay savings of over $800 million over 10 years.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1004–0–1–3022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations NRCS watershed 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. Emergency watershed protection programNRCS undertakes 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. Subject to the terms and conditions of funding, NRCS may provide Emergency Watershed Protection assistance to address small scale, localized disasters. In 2012, the Emergency Watershed Protection Program was funded at $215.9 million for expenses resulting from major disasters declared pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq). State agencies including environmental, natural resource, and fish and game agencies participate in planning and coordinating emergency work. Funding for the emergency watershed protection program is typically provided through emergency supplemental appropriations. The 2013 Budget does not request funding for this program. Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 78–534NRCS 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. This program did not receive an appropriation in 2011 and 2012, and the 2013 budget does not request funding for this program. NRCS is closing out watershed operations projects started prior to 2011 with unoligated balances from prior years.Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 83–566NRCS 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 70 percent of the funding provided is used for financial assistance. This program did not receive an appropriation in 2011 and 2012, and the 2013 budget does not request funding for this program. NRCS is closing out small watershed operations projects started prior to 2011 with unobligated balances from prior years.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 2013. MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2011 actual2012 est.

Watershed Rehabilitation Program Watershed Rehabilitation ProgramUnder the authorities of section 14 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, $15,000,000 is provided. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.) Under the authorities of Section 14 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, assistance is provided to communities to address the rehabilitation of aging local dams. The 2012 enacted level included $15 million for the Watershed Rehabilitation Program. No funding is requested in the 2013 Budget, reflecting the Administration's position that the maintenance, repair, and operation of these dams are the responsibility of local project sponsors. The 2013 Budget also proposes no mandatory funding for this program in 2013; $165 million currently available are proposed to be permanently cancelled (see General Provisions for the Department of Agriculture).Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1002–0–1–3012011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Resource Conservation and Development The Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program was developed under the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (16 U.S.C 590a-590f); the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (16 U.S.C. 1010 and 1011); and the Food and Agricultural Act of 1962 (P.L. 87–703). It is authorized under subtitle H, title XV of the Agricultural and Food Act of 1981 (16 U.S.C. 3451–3461), as amended. The program was permanently authorized by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 and further amended by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L. 110–246). No funding was appropriated for the RC&D Program in 2012, and the 2013 Budget requests no funding for the program. After decades of Federal assistance, many RC&D Councils supported by the program have developed sufficiently strong State and local ties and are now able to secure funding for their continued operation without the need for ongoing Federal assistance.

Healthy Forests Reserve Program Title V of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (Public Law 108–148) authorized the establishment of the Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP). This program assists landowners in restoring, enhancing and protecting forest ecosystems to 1) promote the recovery of threatened and endangered species; 2) improve biodiversity; and 3) enhance carbon sequestration. NRCS implements this voluntary program. Only privately held land is eligible for enrollment into HFRP. Land enrolled in HFRP must have a restoration plan that includes practices necessary to restore and enhance habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered or candidates for the threatened or endangered species list.

The objectives of the Water Bank Program are to conserve water; to preserve, maintain, and improve the Nation's wetlands; to increase waterfowl habitat in migratory waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding areas in the United States; and to secure recreational and environmental benefits for the Nation. The program was authorized by the Water Bank Act of 1970, as amended by Public Law 96–182, approved January 2, 1980. The 2012 enacted level included $7.5 million for this program. No funding is requested in the 2013 Budget, given that the program is duplicative of the Wetlands Reserve Program, USDA's primary wetlands conservation program.

Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program 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 the authorities of the Agricultural Conservation Program, Water Quality Incentive Program, Great Plains Conservation Program, and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program into the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The FAIR Act also repealed CRBSC authority, while maintaining program account balances until expended. Since 1996, EQIP has provided cost-share assistance to landowners and others in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming to enhance the supply and quality of water in the Colorado River for delivery to downstream users in the U.S. and Mexico.

Rural Development Salaries and Expenses(including transfers of funds)For necessary expenses for carrying out the administration and implementation of programs in the Rural Development mission area, including activities with institutions concerning the development and operation of agricultural cooperatives; and for cooperative agreements; $182,023,000, of which $4,500,000 shall be for the Common Computing Environment $206,857,000: Provided, That notwithstanding any other provision of law, funds appropriated under this heading may be used for advertising and promotional activities that support the Rural Development mission area: Provided further, That any balances available from prior years for the Rural Utilities Service, Rural Housing Service, and the Rural Business—Cooperative Service salaries and expenses accounts shall be transferred to and merged with this appropriation. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Rural Development Salaries and Expenses (S&E) account is a consolidated 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 electric and telecommunications loan and grant programs are administered in the national office in Washington, DC. The Rural Development field office staff performs the services related to the water and wastewater grant and loan programs. Program staff for the electric and telecommunication loans programs are general field representatives, who visit borrowers periodically and serve as liaisons between the borrowers and headquarters.RHS delivers rural housing and community facility programs through a system of area, local, and State and national offices.RBS delivers direct loans, loan guarantees, grants, technical assistance, and payment programs to cooperatives and other rural businesses.The 2013 Budget maintains total S&E funding at the 2012 enacted level and continues the Regional Innovation Initiative included in the 2012 Budget. This initiative focuses on regional planning and coordination of USDA and other Federal and private sector resources for rural communities. The initiative recognizes that individual communities are often affected by linkages to the other communities within regions and that working together can produce more prosperity for all. The 2013 Budget supports robust regional strategies that continue to focus on the most efficient and effective ways to leverage existing resources to strengthen rural communities. In addition to setting aside up to 5 percent of certain funds to support the Regional Innovation Initiative, funding is being specifically provided for this initiative through the Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) under the community facility program account. This funding will be used to support regional economic development strategies. Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–0403–0–1–4522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Rental Assistance Program Rental Assistance ProgramFor rental assistance agreements entered into or renewed pursuant to the authority under section 521(a)(2) or agreements entered into in lieu of debt forgiveness or payments for eligible households as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Housing Act of 1949, $904,653,000 $907,128,000; and, in addition, such sums as may be necessary, as authorized by section 521(c) of the Act, to liquidate debt incurred prior to fiscal year 1992 to carry out the rental assistance program under section 521(a)(2) of the Act: Provided, That of this amount not less than $1,500,000 is available for newly constructed units financed by section 515 of the Housing Act of 1949, and not less than $2,500,000 $3,000,000 is for newly constructed units financed under sections 514 and 516 of the Housing Act of 1949: Provided further, That rental assistance agreements entered into or renewed during the current fiscal year shall be funded for a 1-year period: Provided further, That any unexpended balances remaining at the end of such one-year agreements may be transferred and used for the purposes of any debt reduction; maintenance, repair, or rehabilitation of any existing projects; preservation; and rental assistance activities authorized under title V of the Act: Provided further, That rental assistance provided under agreements entered into prior to fiscal year 2012 2013 for a farm labor multi-family housing project financed under section 514 or 516 of the Act may not be recaptured for use in another project until such assistance has remained unused for a period of 12 consecutive months, if such project has a waiting list of tenants seeking such assistance or the project has rental assistance eligible tenants who are not receiving such assistance: Provided further, That such recaptured rental assistance shall, to the extent practicable, be applied to another farm labor multi-family housing project financed under section 514 or 516 of the Act. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The rental assistance program is authorized under section 521(a)(2) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and is designed to reduce rent expenses for 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 and assistance for newly constructed units financed by the section 515 loan program and the 514/516 farm labor housing loan and grant programs. At USDA's discretion, some funds may also be used for additional servicing assistance for existing projects. For 2013, the request for rental assistance grants is for one year contracts with one-year availability, with a total funding level of $907.1 million. The 2013 Budget proposes legislation to gain authorities for RHS to have access to the Health and Human Services National Database of New Hires as well as the IRS data, similar to what the Department of Housing and Urban Development has for its projects-based rental program.From 1978 through 1991, the rental assistance program was funded under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund (RHIF). Beginning in 1992, pursuant to Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established for this program. Prior year obligations are funded with "such sums" amounts to cover those pre-credit reform contracts in RHIF.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–0137–0–1–6042011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Multifamily Housing Revitalization Program Account Multi-Family Housing Revitalization Program AccountFor the rural housing voucher program as authorized under section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949, but notwithstanding subsection (b) of such section, and for additional costs to conduct a demonstration program for the preservation and revitalization of multi-family rental housing properties described in this paragraph, $13,000,000 $46,942,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That of the funds made available under this heading, $11,000,000 $12,575,000, shall be available for rural housing vouchers to any low-income household (including those not receiving rental assistance) residing in a property financed with a section 515 loan which has been prepaid after September 30, 2005: Provided further, That the amount of such voucher shall be the difference between comparable market rent for the section 515 unit and the tenant paid rent for such unit: Provided further, That funds made available for such vouchers shall be subject to the availability of annual appropriations: Provided further, That the Secretary shall, to the maximum extent practicable, administer such vouchers with current regulations and administrative guidance applicable to section 8 housing vouchers administered by the Secretary of the Department of the Department of the Department of Housing and Urban Development: Provided further, That if the Secretary determines that the amount made available for vouchers in this or any other Act is not needed for vouchers, the Secretary may use such funds for the demonstration program for the preservation and revitalization of multi-family rental housing properties described in this paragraph: Provided further, That of the funds made available under this heading, $2,000,000 $34,367,000 shall be available for a demonstration program for the preservation and revitalization of the sections 514, 515, and 516 multi-family rental housing properties to restructure existing USDA multi-family housing loans, as the Secretary deems appropriate, expressly for the purposes of ensuring the project has sufficient resources to preserve the project for the purpose of providing safe and affordable housing for low-income residents and farm laborers including reducing or eliminating interest; deferring loan payments, subordinating, reducing or reamortizing loan debt; and other financial assistance including advances, payments and incentives (including the ability of owners to obtain reasonable returns on investment) required by the Secretary: Provided further, That the Secretary shall as part of the preservation and revitalization agreement obtain a restrictive use agreement consistent with the terms of the restructuring: Provided further, That if the Secretary determines that additional funds for vouchers described in this paragraph are needed, funds for the preservation and revitalization demonstration program may be used for such vouchers: Provided further, That if Congress enacts legislation to permanently authorize a multi-family rental housing loan restructuring program similar to the demonstration program described herein, the Secretary may use funds made available for the demonstration program under this heading to carry out such legislation with the prior approval of notification to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress: Provided further, That in addition to any other available funds, the Secretary may expend not more than $1,000,000 total, from the program funds made available under this heading, for administrative expenses for activities funded under this heading. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)USDA's portfolio of multifamily housing projects provides housing for nearly half a million low-income families, many of whom are elderly. Recent Federal court rulings allow projects that received their financing prior to 1989 to prepay and leave the program. Current law allows USDA to assist families displaced by sponsors' prepayments by providing them with letters of priority and vouchers, which were newly funded in 2006. The Budget requests $12.6 million in 2013 for housing vouchers for residents of projects whose sponsors prepay their outstanding indebtedness on USDA loans and leave the program. In addition, the Budget requests $34.4 million for a continuation of the multi-family housing revitalization pilot program in 2013. This funding will allow USDA to focus on the management of their current multifamily housing portfolio to ensure that the USDA-financed properties continue to provide decent, safe, affordable housing for their rural tenant population. 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–2002–0–1–6042011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.) This account funds the direct and guaranteed community facility loans and community facility grants, which 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 2013 is projected to be $2 billion for direct loans. The 2013 Budget proposes no guaranteed loans, due to an increase in the cost of the program and because it is likely that some demand for the guarantee program will be filled with the increase in the direct loan program. The 2013 Budget requests $25 million. This includes $8 million for Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) grants, which will be used to support regional economic development strategies and will be instrumental in carrying out the Regional Innovation Initiative. In addition, $4 million is included for Tribal College grants.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1951–0–1–4522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account(including transfers of funds)For gross obligations for the principal amount of direct and guaranteed loans as authorized by title V of the Housing Act of 1949, to be available from funds in the rural housing insurance fund, as follows: $900,000,000 $652,764,000 shall be for direct loans and $24,000,000,000 shall be for unsubsidized guaranteed loans; $10,000,000 $27,952,000 for section 504 housing repair loans; $64,478,000 for section 515 rental housing; $130,000,000 and $150,000,000 for section 538 guaranteed multi-family housing loans; $10,000,000 for credit sales of single family housing acquired property; and $5,000,000 for section 523 self-help housing land development loans.For the cost of direct and guaranteed loans, including the cost of modifying loans, as defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as follows: section 502 loans, $42,570,000 $38,970,000 shall be for direct loans; section 504 housing repair loans, $1,421,000; and repair, rehabilitation, and new construction of section 515 rental housing, $22,000,000 $3,821,000: Provided, That the Secretary may charge a guarantee fee of up to 4 percent on section 502 guaranteed loans: Provided further, That to support the loan program level for section 538 guaranteed loans made available under this heading the Secretary may charge or adjust any fees to cover the projected cost of such loan guarantees pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and the interest on such loans may not be subsidized: Provided further, That of the total amount appropriated in this paragraph, the amount equal to the amount of Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account funds allocated by the Secretary for Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones for the fiscal year 2011, shall be available through June 30, 2012, for communities designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones Provided further, That, of the amounts available under this paragraph for section 502 direct loans, no less than $4 million shall be available for direct loans for full time school teachers until August 1, 2013, and no less than $8.4 million shall be available for direct loans for individuals whose homes will be built pursuant to a program funded with a mutual and self help housing grant authorized by section 523 of the Housing Act of 1949 until June 1, 2013.In addition, for the cost of direct loans, grants, and contracts, as authorized by 42 U.S.C. 1484 and 1486, $14,200,000 $17,526,000, to remain available until expended, for direct farm labor housing loans and domestic farm labor housing grants and contracts: Provided, That any balances available for the Farm Labor Program Account shall be transferred to and merged with this account.In addition, for administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs, $430,800,000 $408,127,000 shall be transferred to and merged with paid to the appropriation for "Rural Development, Salaries and Expenses''. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)Rural Housing Insurance FundThis 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 single family housing direct loans and loan guarantees; section 504 housing repair loans; section 515 multi-family housing direct loans; section 524 housing site loans, single family and multi-family housing credit sales of acquired property, and section 538 multi-family housing guarantees. The section 523 self-help housing land development loan program is funded in this account as of 1997. In addition, the farm labor housing program was merged with this account in 2012, bringing the 514 farm labor housing loans back into this account along with the 516 farm labor housing grants. The 514 loans were originally funded in this account but were pulled-out to create a flexible funding stream with funding for farm labor housing grants in 2001. The merge will allow the administration of the farm labor program to be more efficient and less burdensome. Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include towns, villages, and other places which are not part of an urban area. These areas have a population not in excess of 2,500 inhabitants, or in excess of 2,500, but not in excess of 10,000 if rural in character, or a population in excess of 10,000 but not more than 20,000. Areas are within a standard metropolitan statistical area and have a serious lack of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers. For 2013, the Budget funds single family housing activities primarily through the Section 502 single family housing guaranteed loan program. The Section 502 single family housing guarantees are requested at a $24 billion loan level for 2013. The 2010 Supplemental Disaster Relief and Summer Jobs (P.L. 111–212) increased the authorized cap on the up-front fee to 3.5 percent and established an annual fee authority capped at 0.5 percent. In 2012, the program charged an annual fee in combination with an up-front fee for the first time. For 2013, the program will continue to have combination annual and up-front fee structure for both new purchase and refianced loans. This fee structure, with the current loan performance, generates a negative subsidy rate for 2013. The rate could not be negative without the annual fee in 2013. The subsidy rate for 2013 is a blended rate of the new/purchase single family housing guarantees with the refinanced single family housing guarantees. The 2013 Budget requests a reduced loan level of $652.8 million for Section 502 single family housing direct loans. This is a minimum funding level to allow for targeted support for teachers in rural areas and beneficiaries of the mutual self-help housing program, along with other very-low and low income individuals in rural areas still needing mortgage credit assistance despite historically low interest rates. The 2013 Budget requests a funding level of approximately $28 million for Section 504 very low-income housing repair loans. No funding is requested for Section 524 site development, Section 523 self-help housing land development or credit sales of acquired property for single and multi-family housing. The 2013 Budget does not include funding for Section 515 multi-family housing loans because the focus is on the 515 multifamily housing portfolio for 2013 is rehabilitation, which is being carried out through the funding in the multifamily housing revitalization appropiration request. However, this account does include $26 million in farm labor housing loans and $8.9 million in farm labor housing grants. The 2013 Budget also requests $150 million in funding for the multi-family housing guaranteed loan program. The 2013 Budget continues to include in the appropriations language that will allow the program to operate without interest subsidy and with a fee, which removes the main subsidy cost drivers in 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 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.

National sheep industry improvement center revolving fund Funding has been provided since 2001 to support grants for areas that have high energy costs. These grants can be made to eligible entities or the Denali Commission to construct, extend, upgrade, and otherwise improve energy generation, transmission, or distribution facilities serving communities in which the average residential expenditure for home energy is at least 275 percent of the national average residential expenditure for home energy (as determined by the Energy Information Agency using the most recent data available). Grants are also available to establish and support a revolving fund to provide a more cost-effective means of purchasing fuel where the fuel cannot be shipped by means of surface transportation. The Budget proposes no funding in 2013 for these grants.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–2042–0–1–4522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

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. In 2013 the projected loan level is $1 billion for direct loans. No guaranteed loans are proposed for 2013 due to the increase in cost for this program coupled with the low demand for these funds.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.

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 flexibility of funds authority. The 2013 Budget assumes no funding for these grants. 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.

Rural Electrification and Telecommunications Loans Program Account Rural Electrification and Telecommunications Loans Program Account(including transfer of funds)The principal amount of direct and guaranteed rural electric loans as authorized by sections 305 and 306 made under section 4 of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 935 and 936 904) shall be made as follows: 5 percent rural electrification loans, $100,000,000; loans made pursuant to section 306 of that Act, rural electric, $6,500,000,000; guaranteed underwriting loans pursuant to section 313A, $424,286,000; 5 percent rural telecommunications loans, $145,000,000; cost of money rural telecommunications loans, $250,000,000; and for loans made pursuant to section 306 of that Act, rural telecommunications loans, $295,000,000 $6,100,000,000, and the principal amount of rural telecommunications loans made under section 305 of such Act (7 U.S.C. 935) shall be $690,000,000: Provided, That up to $2,000,000,000 not less than $4,000,000,000 shall be used for the construction, acquisition, or improvement of renewable energy plants or for construction, acquisition or improvement of fossil-fueled electric generating plants (whether new or existing) that utilize carbon sequestration systems: Provided further, That funding may be made available for fossil-fuel electric generating peaking units (new or existing) to the extent that the peaking unit operates in conjunction with an electric generating plant that produces electricity from solar, wind, or other intermittent sources of energy: Provided further, That not more than $2,000,000,000 shall be available for environmental improvements to fossil-fuel electric generating plants that would reduce emission of air pollution including greenhouse gases.For the cost of guaranteed loans, including the cost of modifying loans, as defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as follows: $594,000 for guaranteed underwriting loans authorized by section 313A of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 940c-1).In addition, for administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs, $36,382,000 $34,467,000, which shall be transferred to and merged with paid to the appropriation for "Rural Development, Salaries and Expenses''. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) conducts the rural electrification and the rural telecommunications loan programs. The rural electrification loan program finances the operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems. The Budget proposes to implement the 2008 Farm Bill direct electric loan authority under section 4 of the Rural Electrification Act in lieu of section 305 direct hardship loans and section 306 loan guarantees from the Federal Financing Bank (FFB). The new program will operate under the same terms and conditions as the FFB program. The rural telecommunications loan program provides funding for construction, expansion, and operation of telecommunications lines and facilities or systems. The Budget requests $690 million in 2013 for the telecommunications loan program.The Budget supports the Administration's commitment to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. The total electric loan level included in the budget is $6.1 billion, of which, up to $2 billion may be available for environmental improvements to fossil fuel electric generating plants that would reduce emissions of air pollutants, including greenhouse gases. The remaining funding would be limited to renewable energy, transmission, distribution, carbon capture projects on generation facilities, and low emission peaking units affiliated with energy facilities that produce electricity from solar, wind and other intermittent sources of energy.RUS will cancel loans obligated, but not disbursed, more than ten years ago. Most electric loans obligated more than ten years ago have either been disbursed or cancelled. However, current law prohibits the cancellation 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. As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct and guaranteed loans obligated 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1230–0–1–2712011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

The Rural Telephone Bank was dissolved in 2006. To accomplish this, the Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were used to redeem a portion of the Government's stock. The Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were transferred to the Rural Electrification and Telecommunications liquidating account in 2006.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.This program is financed through RUS direct loans for the construction and operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems.As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications 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 following tables reflect statistics on loans made through the liquidating account only.

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. Since there is little demand for the Distance Learning, Telemedicine (DLT) loans, the Budget proposes no funding for DLT loans in 2013 while requesting $24.95 million for DLT grants. The request for Broadband grants is $13.4 million and the Broadband loan request is $8.9 million.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1232–0–1–4522011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Rural Development Insurance Fund Liquidating Account 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. 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 administered by the Rural Housing Service, and the business and industry direct and guaranteed loan programs are administered by the Rural Business-Cooperative Service.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.

Foreign Agricultural Service Salaries and Expenses(including transfers of funds)For necessary expenses of the Foreign Agricultural Service, including not to exceed $158,000 for representation allowances and for expenses pursuant to section 8 of the Act approved August 3, 1956 (7 U.S.C. 1766), $176,347,000 $176,789,000: Provided, That the Service may utilize advances of funds, or reimburse this appropriation for expenditures made on behalf of Federal agencies, public and private organizations and institutions under agreements executed pursuant to the agricultural food production assistance programs (7 U.S.C. 1737) and the foreign assistance programs of the United States Agency for International Development: Provided further, That, of the amount appropriated under this heading, $5,550,000 is for stabilization and reconstruction activities to be carried out under the authority provided by title XIV of the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 (7 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.) and other applicable laws: Provided further, That funds made available for middle-income country training programs, funds made available for the Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology Fellowship program, and up to $2,000,000 of the Foreign Agricultural Service appropriation solely for the purpose of offsetting fluctuations in international currency exchange rates, subject to documentation by the Foreign Agricultural Service, shall remain available until expended. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The Foreign Agricultural Service's (FAS) mission is linking U.S. agriculture to the world to enhance export opportunities and global food security. FAS helps to provide outlets for the wide variety of U.S. agricultural products, thereby enhancing economic activity for U.S. workers. FAS serves U.S. agriculture's interests by expanding and maintaining international export opportunities, supporting international economic development and trade and capacity building, and global food security. The outcomes envisioned are exports that help U.S. agriculture prosper, the expansion of U.S. exports of organics and crops produced using new technologies and food that are globally available, accessible, and appropriately used. In addition to its Washington-based staff, the agency maintains a network of overseas offices that serve as first responders in cases of market disruption. The overseas offices also provide the Department with critical market and policy intelligence, and they represent U.S. agriculture in consultations with foreign governments. The 2013 Budget includes $176.8 million for FAS, which is $0.4 million more than the 2012 enacted level. Trade Promotion. A substantial portion of U.S. agricultural cash receipts come from export sales, making the vitality of rural America heavily dependent on international trade. U.S. farmers and ranchers are among the most productive and efficient in the world. However, they face complex and unfair obstacles in the global marketplace, where 95 percent of the world's consumers live. FAS trade promotion activities help U.S. food and agricultural exporters take advantage of market opportunities created by its trade policy and capacity building successes. FAS adminsters a set of market development tools that support U.S. exporters facing fierce competition in the international marketplace. A cooperative effort with the U.S. industry is needed to ensure that the U.S. agricultural sector has fair market access, a strong understanding of key market trends, and support in overcoming constraints such as tight credit in international markets. FAS administers programs and activities, working in partnership with private sector associations and state and regional trade groups, and U.S. food and agricultural exporters. U.S. producers are not guaranteed a role in the global marketplace. Successful marketing strategies depend on a strong understanding of market trends, such as rising incomes in countries such as China, Indonesia, and Mexico that stimulate demand for a more nutritious and varied diet. As markets change, farmers need the tools to introduce new products to new customers, maintain current sales in the face of new competition, and overcome constraints such as tight credit. The results of FAS efforts ultimately benefit both the farm and non-farm sectors of the U.S. economy through job creation and additional economic activity. FAS supports the National Export Initiative (NEI) which has the primary goal of spurring economic growth and employment opportunities. The future of U.S. agriculture is tied to trade, as agricultural trade is an important generator of output, employment, and income in the U.S. economy. Currently, FAS employs available personnel and information resources to contribute to preparation of the National Export Strategy, report on NEI activities and accomplishments, and planning and executing NEI road shows.Trade Policy. The agency's trade policy work ensures that U.S. exporters can sell safe, wholesome U.S. food and agricultural products around the world. With its network of knowledgeable overseas attaches and Washington experts, FAS is well positioned to harness a wide range of resources to address complex problems. FAS partners with the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), other U.S. Government agencies and trade associations, as well as regional and international organizations, in a coordinated effort to negotiate trade agreements; establish transparent, science-based standards; and resolve trade barriers. Unfair trade barriers limit U.S. sales to many countries. As tariffs and other traditional trade barriers have been negotiated away, many importing countries have begun to erect new trade barriers using unscientific plant and animal health requirements and other technical barriers to limit trade. Removing existing barriers, while ensuring new ones are not introduced, will directly help U.S. food and agricultural exports thrive. U.S. farmers are taking full advantage of biotechnology and other new technologies to increase their productivity. They are also expanding production of organic products in response to growing consumer demand. Capacity Building/Food Security. FAS capacity building and food security activities lay the groundwork for furthering U.S. agriculture's trade interests in developing countries around the world. In-country institutional capacity-building, research, technical training, and food assistance activities target developing economies with promising market potential. Our farmers and scientists are among the most productive and advanced in the world, producing bountiful supplies of staple foods like wheat, rice, and soybeans, while developing new innovative crop technologies and farming techniques. FAS plays the lead role in coordinating the linkage of agricultural expertise to U.S. international development activities, ensuring alignment with U.S. trade and foreign affairs policies as well as the national security strategy. FAS administers several food assistance programs to help developing countries with humanitarian crises, economic development, and the transition from being food aid recipients to commercial importers. Programs administered by FAS consist of P.L. 480, Title I; Food for Progress; the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program; and the Local and Regional Food Aid Procurement Program. These programs feature a mix of monetization, direct distribution, and local food aid commodity procurement to meet the specific needs of recipient countries.

Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers Program was reauthorized and modified by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as established by Subtitle C of Title I of the Trade Act of 2002, which amended the Trade Act of 1974. The statute authorized appropriations to the Department of Agriculture not to exceed $90 million each year for 2009 and for 2010 and $22.5 million for the period beginning October 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010 to carry out the program. Section 101 of the Omnibus Trade Act of 2010 (Public Law 111–344) amended this statute by providing $10.4 million for a 6-week period beginning January 1, 2011 and ending February 12, 2011. Title II of Public Law 112–40, the Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act of 2011, extends the authority for the program and authorizes appropriations of $90 million for 2012 and 2013, and $22.5 million for the period October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. The 2013 Budget does not request funding for the program. The statute requires the Secretary of Agriculture (the Secretary) to provide assistance to eligible producers of agricultural commodities and fishermen when production in the most recent marketing year yields less than 85 percent of the average national price, production quantity, value of production, or cash receipts for such commodity for the 3 preceding marketing years, and increases in imports contributed importantly to such declines, as determined by the Secretary. The TAA for Farmers program provides producers of raw agricultural commodities and fishermen, who have been adversely affected by import competition, free technical assistance, the reimbursement of certain travel and per diem costs associated with training, and cash benefits of up to $12,000 for costs linked to the development and implementation of business adjustment plans. The program covers farmers, livestock producers, fish farmers, and fishermen competing with like or directly competitive imported products.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1406–0–1–3512011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

1Assets of the trust can be released any time the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development determines that Title II of the Food for Peace Act funding for emergency needs is inadequate to meet these needs in any fiscal year.
Included in this category are the following activities carried out under Food for Peace Act, also known as Public Law 480 (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; 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. No 2013 funding is requested for new direct credit under Title I; however, funding for administrative expenses associated with managing the existing loan portfolio is requested. No funding is requested for Title I ocean freight differential for 2013.Sales are made to developing countries as defined in section 402(5) 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 five 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. 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.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 Public Law 480 Title II, agricultural commodities are furnished to meet emergency relief needs and address the underlying causes of food insecurity through non-emergency programs. The Commodity Credit Corporation (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. McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program GrantsFor necessary expenses to carry out the provisions of section 3107 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (7 U.S.C. 1736o-1), $184,000,000 $184,000,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That the Commodity Credit Corporation is authorized to provide the services, facilities, and authorities for the purpose of implementing such section, subject to reimbursement from amounts provided herein. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program, as amended, is authorized under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107–171). The 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 in order to improve food security, reduce the incidence of hunger and malnutrition, and improve literacy and primary education. Maternal, infant, and child nutrition programs also are authorized. The 2013 Budget includes $184 million, which maintains the 2012 enacted level.

Food for Peace Title II Grants Food for Peace Title II GrantsFor expenses during the current fiscal year, not otherwise recoverable, and unrecovered prior years' costs, including interest thereon, under the Food for Peace Act (Public Law 83–480, as amended), for commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad under title II of said Act, $1,466,000,000 $1,400,000,000, to remain available until expended, of which up to $6,500,000 shall be for costs for services provided by the Farm Service Agency, and which shall be available in addition to other funds available for such purpose. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)This account funds the grant component of Public Law 480. Under Title II, agricultural commodities are furnished to meet emergency relief needs and address the underlying causes of food insecurity through non-emergency programs.The Commodity Credit Corporation (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.

The SNAP contingency fund level holds in reserve about one month's worth of benefits to cover unforeseen events, such as natural disasters and fluctuations in food prices.The President's Budget includes a proposal to restore SNAP benefit cuts included in The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (P.L. 111–296), which accelerated the sunset date of SNAP Recovery Act benefits to October 31, 2013. This proposal would revert the sunset date back to March 31, 2014, the date these benefits would have expired prior to enactment of The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. The Budget also includes a proposal to temporarily suspend participation time limits for certain working-age, low-income adults without dependents for an additional year. This account also includes the effects of the proposal to increase child support pass-through payments to families on TANF, as well as the proposal to extend SSI time limits for qualified refugees.

National Forest SystemFor necessary expenses of the Forest Service, not otherwise provided for, for management, protection, improvement, and utilization of the National Forest System, $1,556,628,000 $1,623,591,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That of the funds provided, $336,049,000 shall be for forest products: Provided further, That of the funds provided, $40,000,000 shall be deposited in the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Fund for ecological restoration treatments as authorized by 16 U.S.C. 7303(f): Provided further, That of the funds provided, up to $68,000,000 is for the Integrated Resource Restoration pilot program for Region 1, Region 3 and Region 4: Provided further, That of the funds provided for forest products, up to $44,585,000 may be transferred to support the Integrated Resource Restoration pilot program in the preceding proviso funds provided under this heading may be used for necessary expenses of the Forest Service to manage Federal lands in Alaska for subsistence uses under title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (Public Law 96–487): Provided further, That funds provided under this heading shall be available for urgently needed road decommissioning, road and trail repair and maintenance and associated activities, and removal of fish passage barriers, especially in areas where Forest Service roads may be contributing to water quality problems in streams and water bodies that support threatened, endangered or sensitive species or community water sources, as authorized by Public Law 88–567, as amended (16 U.S.C. 532–538) and Public Law 85–767, as amended (23 U.S.C. 101 and 205): Provided further, That funds provided herein shall be available for the decommissioning of roads which are no longer needed, including unauthorized roads not part of the transportation system. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The 2013 Budget requests $1,623,591,000 for the National Forest System (NFS), an increase of $69,454,000 above the 2012 enacted level for the stewardship and management of the 193 million acres of national forests and grasslands. This includes the 155 National Forests and 20 National Grasslands located in 44 States and Puerto Rico that 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 best meets 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 NFS. 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 integrated resource restoration; land management planning, assessment, and monitoring; recreation, heritage, and wilderness; grazing management; minerals and geology management; landownership management; and law enforcement operations. These programs maintain the capability to manage natural resources in a manner consistent with ecological principles and responsibilities. Following the Secretary's "All Lands" vision, the Budget focuses on meeting the challenges of ecological restoration through collaborative approaches to address fire and fuels, invasive species, and watershed degradation; engaging communities to help Americans reconnect to the outdoors, expand on recreation benefits and create a wide range of opportunities for economic expansion to retain and create jobs; and partnering with communities and fellow agencies to reduce the threat of wildland fires. The goals of these efforts are to reestablish and retain the resilience of NFS lands, to achieve sustainable management and use, and to provide a broad range of ecosystem services. Healthy and resilient landscapes have a greater capacity to survive natural disturbances, provide for the natural storage and sustained delivery of high quality water, and are more resilient and adaptable to changing environmental conditions. Specific conservation and restoration actions depend on the particular needs and priorities identified for a given landscape. These may include management of off-highway vehicle use and other recreation activities, road decommissioning, mitigation of abandoned mine and hazardous material sites, enhanced administration of grazing authorizations, and other actions identified as necessary for ecosystem restoration.The Budget emphasizes Integrated Resource Restoration (IRR) as a priority approach to accomplish on-the-ground restoration. IRR promotes improved forest and grassland health and resilience using landscape scale restoration to recover watershed health and clean water and create or maintain local economic opportunities and jobs. IRR does this by improving the efficient delivery of NFS programs throughout the Nation and integrating watershed protection and restoration into all aspects of our management of national forests and grasslands. This allows the Forest Service to more effectively accomplish forest health and water quality improvement goals. The Budget also invests in the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) Program, which fosters collaborative, science-based restoration on priority forest landscapes across the U.S. The CFLR Program was established specifically to create job stability, achieve a reliable wood supply, restore forest health, and reduce the costs of fire suppression in overgrown forests. The ultimate goal of the CFLR Program is to collaboratively achieve improved forest benefits for people, water, and wildlife in a way that can be shared across broad landscapes.The request for the National Forest System includes $2,000,000 for Management of National Forest Lands for Subsistence Uses, a decrease of $573,000 below the 2012 enacted level. Funding allows the Forest Service to meet agency responsibilities under the 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). The Budget reflects the continuing emphasis on Forest Service program performance and accountability agency-wide. The Forest Service business rules for accomplishment reporting incorporate not only directly funded work, but also accomplishments achieved through integration between program areas or partnerships with external groups. This effort improves performance and accountability by shifting focus to one that naturally aligns other programs and partner organizations to achieve multiple goals.

Gifts, Donations and Bequests for Forest and Rangeland ResearchFor expenses authorized by 16 U.S.C. 1643(b), $45,000 $46,000, to remain available until expended, to be derived from the fund established pursuant to the above Act. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The 2013 Budget requests $292,796,000 for Forest and Rangeland Research (Forest Service R&D), a decrease of $2,504,000 below the 2012 enacted level. Funding maintains an essential level of basic research associated with the Priority Research Areas and Strategic Program Areas. Forest Service R&D provides scientific information and new technologies to support sustainable management of the Nation's forests and rangelands. Forest Service R&D conducts ecological and social science research to understand ecosystems, how humans influence those ecosystems, how those ecosystems respond to the impacts of climate change, and how forests can be managed sustainably to enable both environmental conservation and economic opportunities. These products and services increase the basic biological and physical knowledge of the composition, structure, and function of forest and grassland ecosystems. Forest Service R&D is federally mandated to provide new knowledge and technologies to foster healthy watersheds, forest products, wildlife protection, outdoor recreation opportunities, and other benefits, across all U.S. territories and States. Research is conducted at five Research Stations, the Forest Products Laboratory, and the International Institute of Tropical Forestry located in Puerto Rico. The Forest Service R&D structure has two components: Priority Research Areas and Strategic Program Areas. The Priority Research Areas address national needs in seven areas: Forest Inventory and Analysis, Forest Disturbances, Watershed Management and Restoration, Bioenergy and Biobased Products, Urban Natural Resources Stewardship, Nanotechnology, and Localized Needs Research. Strategic Program Areas include Wildland Fire and Fuels; Invasive Species; Recreation; Resource Management and Use; Water, Air, and Soil; Wildlife and Fish; and Inventory and Monitoring. The Budget sustains the outputs and products on which land managers depend for developing management options, strategies and systems for addressing current issues.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1104–0–1–3022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

State and Private Forestry State and Private ForestryFor necessary expenses of cooperating with and providing technical and financial assistance to States, territories, possessions, and others, and for forest health management, including treatments of pests, pathogens, and invasive or noxious plants and for restoring and rehabilitating forests damaged by pests or invasive plants, cooperative forestry, and education and land conservation activities and conducting an international program as authorized, $253,331,000 $250,730,000, to remain available until expended, as authorized by law; of which $53,388,000 $60,000,000 is to be derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The 2013 Budget requests $250,730,000 for State and Private Forestry (S&PF), a program decrease of $2,196,000 below the 2012 enacted level. Funds provide technical and financial assistance to landowners and resource managers. S&PF programs help sustain the Nation's urban and rural forests and protect communities and the environment from wildland fires, insects, disease, and invasive plants. S&PF provides assistance to landowners and resource managers to help sustain forests on State and private lands, in both rural and urban areas, to meet domestic and international demands for goods and services. S&PF programs also help facilitate sound stewardship and provide tools to address forest health threats on lands of all ownerships on a landscape scale, while maintaining the flexibility for individual forest landowners to pursue their objectives.The International Forestry program is included as part of the S&PF appropriation. To improve the transparency of funding for forest health and fire assistance, the budget proposes to shift funds for State and Volunteer Fire Assistance from S&PF to Wildland Fire Management (WFM) and Federal and Cooperative Forest Health Management from WFM to S&PF. This allows for the full funding amount to be reflected in a single account.Landscape Scale RestorationThe Budget establishes the Landscape Scale Restoration program and formalizes the S&PF Redesign process. It includes funding for competitive projects focused on issues and landscapes of national importance and on activities that promise meaningful outcomes on the ground. Building upon the successes of the State and Private Forestry Redesign process, Landscape Scale Restoration focuses and prioritizes resources to better shape and influence forest land use on a scale, and in a way, that optimizes public benefits from trees and forests. The funds continue to improve our ability to identify the greatest threats to forest sustainability and accomplish meaningful change in high-priority areas. As a competitive grant program, it provides flexible opportunities to fund innovative projects across program boundaries and across landscape jurisdictions to address priorities and needs consistent with the State Forest Action Plans. Projects will focus on restoring healthy and resilient forests and communities in priority areas that States have identified. These high-priority needs are essential to addressing todays critical restoration issues on Federal, State and private lands. This program will continue to help ensure the ability of the Nation's forests to sustain and enrich the well-being of all citizens and communities.Includes funding for Federal and cooperative lands to maintain healthy, productive ecosystems by preventing, detecting, and suppressing damaging native and invasive forest and tree insects and diseases across all land ownerships and invasive plants on cooperative lands. Through the continued use of a science-based forest health risk map, the Budget reflects allocations of program funding that address national priorities and reduce risk in the most effective and efficient manner. The agency will document changes in insect, disease, and invasive plant geographic range, population dynamics of host preferences of pests, and other changes in pest activity and will explore gene conservation efforts to conserve at-risk tree species projected to be negatively impacted by climate change. Cooperative Fire ProtectionActivities conducted under the Cooperative Fire Protection program are shifted to the Wildland Fire Management appropriation. The Budget includes funding to enhance the capacity of States to provide effective initial attack and coordinated fire suppression response, reduce hazardous fuels in and adjacent to communities, and purchase and maintain equipment. Funding also supports training, planning, and fire prevention education that include the "Smokey Bear" and Firewise programs. Includes funding for the Forest Stewardship, Forest Legacy, Community Forest and Open Space Conservation, and Urban and Community Forestry programs. This suite of complementary programs helps maintain the integrity of our nation's valuable forested landscapes and supports the Federal interest in obtaining public benefits from private forests that include an array of social, economic, and environmental benefits. The Cooperative Forestry programs will continue to provide assistance to landowners, conserve private lands, and support the priorities identified in State Forest Action Plans. The Forest Service will track how cooperative funds are targeted to priority areas and themes identified in these Forest Action Plans.The Forest Stewardship ProgramProvides professional forestry assistance to landowners to encourage sound environmental management of non-industrial private forest lands.Partners with States to protect environmentally sensitive forestlands. Consistent with the President's commitment to the America's Great Outdoors Initiative, the Budget includes funding for the Forest Legacy Program through the Land and Water Conservation Fund to support the acquisition of conservation easements and other interests in forest lands threatened by conversion. These conservation easements will protect air and water quality, provide access for recreation, and provide habitat for threatened or endangered wildlife and fish. Community Forest and Open Space ConservationAchieves community benefits through grants to local governments, Tribal Governments, and nonprofit organizations to establish community forests by acquiring and protecting forestlands.Urban and Community ForestryProvides technical, financial and educational assistance to cities and towns nationwide so they can improve the condition and extent of their trees and forests to achieve the full range of benefits and services from these resources. This program improves the lives of most Americans near where they live and work. Provides funding for high priority investments in natural resource conservation issues, including invasive species, biodiversity conservation, migratory species, and advancing U.S. policy interests.

(Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The 2013 Budget requests $1,971,394,000 for Wildland Fire Management (WFM), an increase of $236,543,000 above the 2012 enacted level to fund Forest Service fire preparedness, fire suppression, hazardous fuels treatments, joint fire sciences, research and development, and cooperative fire programs on National Forest System (NFS) lands, adjacent State and private lands, and other lands under fire protection agreement. To protect 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; aviation services; and other preparedness activities. Through this program the Forest Service also assists other Federal agencies and States with planning assistance, sharing joint equipment use contracts, and interagency fire coordination centers. Readiness levels reflect improvements in efficiencies and management controls, including those gained through a centralized aviation services office, as well as management of national shared resources such as: large airtankers, helitankers, hotshot crews and smokejumpers. Risk-informed suppression of wildland fires on or threatening NFS lands, Department of the Interior lands, or other lands under fire protection agreements. The Budget request responsibly budgets for wildfires, providing funding at the 10-year average of suppression costs, adjusted for inflation, and includes indirect costs as required by Congress. Suppression, FLAME, and preparedness costs have been realigned to inform accurate costs of initial attack, large complex fires, and readiness. To improve the management of wildland fire resources, the Forest Service will:—Utilize the Senior Fire Leadership Council to provide executive level oversight and leadership of Wildland Fire Suppression practices.—Implement key findings from large fire cost reviews.—Continue implementation of performance improvements including monitoring and analyzing large fire suppression expenditures with the stratified cost index and reducing the number of human-caused ignitions.—Utilize a risk-informed management response strategy for unplanned ignitions to manage risk, maximize resource utilization, manage loss and contain costs.—Implement Phase 1 and Phase 2, and initiate development of Phase 3 of the Cohesive Strategy for Wildland Fire Management. —Accurately share firefighting costs in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) between responding agencies.— Continue to use the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS) to support managers in analyzing risk relative to strategic suppression decisions which affect suppression costs, firefighter and public safety, and impacts to property and resources. —Utilize an integrated system to procure and allocate firefighting assets that improves the systems for determining the appropriate type and quantity of firefighting assets needed for the fire season or for effectively and efficiently procuring them.—Place priority on those projects associated with a community wildfire protection plan, or equivalent.These actions highlight important refinements within the Forest Service wildland fire management program that strengthen oversight and accountability of suppression spending and use risk management principles to guide decision-making at the strategic, program, and operational levels. As part of these efforts, the Forest Service will categorize incidents by risk and apply operational and managerial protocols to guide the risk-informed allocation and use of resources; improve firefighter and community safety; and develop and use credible performance indicators. By identifying and analyzing risk in a systematic fashion, the Forest Service is better equipped to assess wildfire intensity and associated threats posed to lives, improved property, or the environment. This risk-informed fire protection system allows agency administrators the ability to choose from a full spectrum of wildfire management actions and appropriately scale their responses to the risks posed. The Other Fire Operations programs include Hazardous Fuels, National Fire Plan Research and Development, Joint Fire Sciences, State Fire Assistance, and Volunteer Fire Assistance. Funding will focus on treating hazardous fuels in the WUI and highest priority areas, research and technology transfer activities, and providing vital support to assist local communities and State foresters develop firefighting capacity to provide critical preparedness and response actions for communities at risk. The request provides funding for treatment of hazardous fuels within WUI and highest priority areas of NFS lands and adjacent State and private lands. Treatments for purposes other than community protection (non-Wildland Urban Interface) will be funded through the NFS appropriation. Hazardous fuel reduction modifies the arrangement of or reduces the volume of naturally occurring flammable vegetation and forest litter. The program includes prescribed burning, mechanical treatments, and other methods. Treatments are designed to alter fire behavior and reduce negative impacts of wildland fires such as erosion or soils that, due to high fire temperatures, shed water rather than absorbing it. Managing forest fuels and increasing the use of fire is necessary to maintain the carbon sequestration capability of national forest lands.The strategy of focusing treatments on the WUI and highest priority areas will help minimize large, destructive, and costly wildfires, thereby protecting both communities and natural resources, and reducing safety risks to firefighters and the public. In 2013, the Forest Service will continue to use the Hazardous Fuels Prioritization and Allocation (HFPAS) System to allocate funds to the field. Additional modifications to HFPAS will be made as better data and information becomes available. Funding will be prioritized for communities that have identified acres to be treated in Community Wildfire Protection Plans and made an investment in implementing local solutions to protection against wildland fire. To improve the transparency of funding for forest health and fire assistance, the budget proposes to shift funds for State and Volunteer Fire Assistance from State and Private Forestry to WFM and Federal and Cooperative Forest Health Management from WFM to State and Private Forestry. This allows for the full funding amount to be reflected in a single account.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1115–0–1–3022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Forest Service Payments to Communities FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund Flame Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund(including transfers of funds)For necessary expenses for large fire suppression operations of the Department of Agriculture and as a reserve fund for suppression and Federal emergency response activities, $315,886,000 $315,000,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That such amounts are available only for transfer to the "Wildland Fire Management'' account and only following a declaration by the Secretary that either (1) a wildland fire suppression event meets certain previously established risk-based written criteria for significant complexity, severity, or threat posed by the fire or (2) funds in the "Wildland Fire Management'' account will be exhausted within 30 days. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The 2013 Budget requests $315,000,000 for the FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund, a decrease of $381,000 below the 2012 enacted level. The FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund and the Wildland Fire Management appropriations fully fund the 10-year average cost of fire suppression obligations, adjusted for inflation. The Secretary may permit transfers from this account to cover severe complex fire events. The Secretary may also transfer funds in the event that USDA has exhausted its suppression resources due to an active fire season.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1120–0–1–3022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Presidential Wildland Fire Contingency Reserve Range Betterment FundFor necessary expenses of range rehabilitation, protection, and improvement, 50 percent of all moneys received during the prior fiscal year, as fees for grazing domestic livestock on lands in National Forests in the 16 Western States, pursuant to section 401(b)(1) of Public Law 94–579, as amended, to remain available until expended, of which not to exceed 6 percent shall be available for administrative expenses associated with on-the-ground range rehabilitation, protection, and improvements. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The 2013 Budget requests $2,360,000 for the Range Betterment Fund, a decrease of $897,000 below the 2012 enacted level. This program emphasizes essential structural and non-structural improvements prescribed in grazing allotment National Environmental Policy Act decision documents. Treatment of invasive plant species related to permitted livestock use continues to be a priority for non-structural rangeland improvement work. Fifty percent of grazing fees from National Forests in the 16 western States, once appropriated, are used to protect and improve rangeland productivity primarily through revegetation, construction and reconstruction, and maintenance of improvements under authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1751), as amended.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–5207–0–2–3022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO Land AcquisitionFor expenses necessary to carry out the provisions of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, as amended (16 U.S.C. 460l-4 through 11), including administrative expenses, and for acquisition of land or waters, or interest therein, in accordance with statutory authority applicable to the Forest Service, $52,605,000 $57,934,000, to be derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund and to remain available until expended. Acquisition of Lands for National Forests Special ActsFor acquisition of lands within the exterior boundaries of the Cache, Uinta, and Wasatch National Forests, Utah; the Toiyabe National Forest, Nevada; and the Angeles, San Bernardino, Sequoia, and Cleveland National Forests, California, as authorized by law, $955,000, to be derived from forest receipts. Acquisition of Lands to Complete Land ExchangesFor acquisition of lands, such sums, to be derived from funds deposited by State, county, or municipal governments, public school districts, or other public school authorities, and for authorized expenditures from funds deposited by non-Federal parties pursuant to Land Sale and Exchange Acts, pursuant to the Act of December 4, 1967, as amended (16 U.S.C. 484a), to remain available until expended (16 U.S.C. 460l-516–617a, 555a; Public Law 96–586; Public Law 76–589, 76–591; and Public Law 78–310). (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2012.)The 2013 Budget requests $59,116,000 for the Land Acquisition acccounts, an increase of $5,415,000 above the 2012 enacted level. This heading consolidates land acquisition authorities for acquisition of lands, waters, or interest therein, as authorized by law. Consistent with the President's commitment to the America's Great Outdoors Initiative, the Budget will provide funding for land acquisition through the Land and Water Conservation Fund to support the acquisition of high-priority forests and grasslands. The 2013 Federal Land Acquisition program builds on efforts started in 2011 and 2012 to strategically invest in interagency landscape-scale conservation projects while continuing to meet agency-specific programmatic needs. The Department of the Interior and the U.S. Forest Service collaborated extensively to develop a process to more effectively coordinate land acquisitions with government and local community partners to achieve the highest priority shared conservation goals. Lands and other interests are acquired adjacent to areas of the National Forest System for such purposes as outdoor recreation, wilderness management, wildlife habitat conservation, watershed protection and enhancement, resource management, and land consolidation.Acquisition of Lands of National Forests, Special ActsTo acquire lands within critical watersheds to provide soil stabilization and restoration of vegetation. Public Laws 76–589, 76–591 and 78–310 (54 Stat. 297, 298, 299, and 402; and 58 Stat. 227–228) authorize appropriations for the purchase of lands to minimize erosion and flood damage to critical watersheds within the following National Forests: the Cache, Uinta, and Wasatch, Utah; the Toiyabe, Nevada; and the Angeles, Cleveland, San Bernardino, and Sequoia, California. Appropriations are made from receipts on these national forests.Acquisition of Lands to Complete Land ExchangesDeposits are made by State, county, or municipal governments, public school authorities, or non-Federal parties and are used to acquire lands for National Forest System purposes or for other authorized purposes.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–9923–0–2–3022011 actual2012 est.2013 est.

Forest Service Permanent Appropriations Operation and Maintenance of QuartersQuarters 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).Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement FundThe Secretary may implement a fee program for certain recreation sites on Federal lands. Fees collected from users of recreation facilities are used to pay for on-the-ground operation, maintenance, and improvements of recreation sites and services to maintain and enhance recreation opportunities, visitor experiences, and related habitat. Funds are available until expended (16 U.S.C. 6806 and 6807, P.L. 108–447, Div. J, [title VIII, Sec. 807 and Sec. 808] Dec. 8, 2004, 118 Stat. 3388).Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie Rental FeesMonies received under a special use authorization are available to cover the cost to the United States of prairie improvement work at the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie (Public Law 104–106, Div. B, [Title XXIX, sec. 2915 (b), (c)], Feb. 10,1996, 110 Stat. 601). Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie Restoration FundMonies received from user fees and the salvage value proceeds from sale of any facilities and improvements are available to cover the costs of restoration and administrative activities. (Public Law 104–106, Div. B, [Title XXIX, sec. 2915 (d), (e), and (f)], Feb. 10,1996, 110 Stat. 601) 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 GrasslandsThis 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). The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (SRS Act), P.L. 106–393, was enacted to provide for transitional assistance to rural counties affected by the decline in revenue from timber harvests on federal lands. The last payment authorized under P.L. 106–393 was for 2006. Section 601 of Division C of P.L. 110–343 amends and reauthorizes the SRS Act (P.L. 106–393). The SRS Act, as amended, retains the original title. The amended SRS Act, which was similar to P.L. 106–393, although it is structured to phase out payments, is no longer authorized at the end of fiscal year 2011 with the last payment being issued in 2012. The Budget reflects a five-year reauthorization, starting in 2012, of the Secure Rural Schools Act with funding through mandatory appropriations. This SRS proposal revises the allocation split between the three portions of the program from the current authority emphasizing enhancement of forest ecosystems, restoration and improvement of land health and water quality and the increase of economic activity. The 2013 payment is proposed for $294 million.Funds from payments by purchasers of National Forest timber to dispose of or treat slash and other debris that result from cutting operations (16 U.S.C. 490). Funds from fees for the use of characters by private enterprises are collected under regulations promulgated by the Secretary as follows: For furthering the nationwide forest fire prevention campaign (16 U.S.C. 580p(2)).For promoting wise use of the environment and programs which foster maintenance and improvement of environmental quality (16 U.S.C. 580p(1)).Restoration of Forestlands and ImprovementsFunds 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 Election Roads Constructed by Forest ServiceFunds 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 FundFunds from sales of Alaska timber to maintain the timber supply from the Tongass National Forest at a specified level (16 U.S.C. 539d). 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 FundFunds are used for restoring the timber pipeline and funding the backlog of recreation projects on National Forest System lands (P.L. 104–134, Sec. 101 (c), [Title III Sec. 327], April 26, 1996, 110 Stat. 1321–206 and 207).Funds authorized under the Valles Caldera Preservation Act (Public Law 106–248) are 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 (16 U.S.C. 698v-4, 698v-6).Forest Botanical ProductsFunds are used 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 (16 U.S.C. 528 note).The Forest Service may enter into stewardship projects via agreement or contract to perform services to achieve land management goals and meet local and rural community needs. Stewardship contracting enables the Forest Service to apply the value of timber or other forest products from stewardship sales as an offset against the costs to accomplish land and resource management objectives. If the offset value exceeds the value of the resource improvement treatments, those receipts are retained and deposited in the Stewardship Contracting Fund and are available until expended for other authorized stewardship projects (16 U.S.C. 2104 note). The Budget proposes permanent reauthorization of stewardship contracting. The current authority expires at the end of 2013.Roads and Trails (10 Percent) FundUnder this fund, 10 percent of all national forest receipts are used by the Forest Service, to repair or reconstruct roads, bridges, and trails on NFS lands. Funds are directed towards correcting road and trail deficiencies that adversely affect ecosystems. Beginning in 1999 and continuing in subsequent appropriation acts, the authority was expanded to allow the use of funds for the purpose of improving forest health conditions, and repairing or reconstructing roads and bridges on NFS lands in the wildland-urban interface where there is an abnormally high risk of fire. The program reduces risk to human safety and public health and property, and enhances ecological functions, long-term forest productivity, and biological integrity (16 U.S.C. 501). Refer to the Capital Improvement and Maintenance appropriation for details of activities funded for roads and trails.Federal Land and Facility Enhancement FundWork functions for this program include Land and Facility Conveyances Under Special Legislation and the Administrative Site Conveyances Program.

Forestry-related supply and support services include: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. The Budget includes Forest Service implementation, in conjunction with the General Services Administration, of a vehicle allocation methodology that analyzes fleet vehicle effectiveness, cost to serve, life cycle costs, vehicle pooling, procurement practices, and reduction of operating costs.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.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, research 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 research experiment stations at cost.The fund operates seed supply services that provide tree seeds for direct seeding or sowing in nurseries for the production of trees. Activities include purchase or collection of cones, extraction of seeds, cleaning and testing, and storage and delivery. The fund operates in conjunction with forest tree nurseries and cold storage facilities for storage of tree seedlings.
