Departmental Administration includes offices that provide staff support to policy officials and overall direction and coordination of the Department. These activities include Department-wide programs for human resources management, occupational safety and health management, real and personal property management, acquisitions and contracting, motor vehicle and aircraft management, supply management, participation of small and disadvantaged businesses, service-disabled veterans programs, and the regulatory hearing and administrative proceedings conducted by the Administrative Law Judges, and Judicial Officer. The 2014 Budget requests $23 million.

The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 required the establishment of a Chief Information Officer (CIO) for all major Federal agencies. The Act requires USDA to maximize the value of information technology acquisitions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of USDA programs. To meet the intent of the law and to provide a Departmental focus for information resources management issues, Secretary's Memorandum 1030–30, dated August 8, 1996, established the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). The CIO serves as the primary advisor to the Secretary on Information Technology (IT) issues. OCIO provides leadership for the Department's information and IT management activities in support of USDA program delivery. The 2014 Budget requests $44 million for OCIO.

The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) was established in 1995 under authority provided in Reorganization Plan Number 2 of 1953 (7 U.S.C. 2201) to comply with the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990. The OCFO focuses on the Department's financial and performance management activities to improve program delivery and assure maximum contribution to the Secretary's Strategic Goals. The 2014 Budget requests $6 million.

The Office of Budget and Program Analysis (OBPA) coordinates the preparation of Departmental budget estimates, regulations, and legislative reports; administers systems for the allotment and apportionment of funds; provides analysis of USDA program issues, draft regulations, and budget proposals; participates in strategic planning; and provides assistance to USDA policy makers in the development and execution of desired policies and programs. The 2014 Budget requests $11 million. To support evidence-based policy-making, $2 million is requested in the Budget to provide support for the establishment of a Chief Evaluation Officer within USDA to work closely with program offices and agencies to develop and implement evaluation agendas and priorities set by policy officials.

The Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Coordination formulates emergency preparedness policies and objectives for USDA. The Staff directs and coordinates all of the Department's program activities that support USDA emergency programs and liaison functions with the Congress, the Department of Homeland Security, and other Federal Departments and agencies involving homeland security, natural disasters, other emergencies, and agriculture-related international civil emergency planning and intelligence activities. The 2014 Budget requests $1.5 million.

The Office of Advocacy and Outreach (OAO) improves access to USDA programs and enhances the viability and profitability of small farms and ranches, beginning farmers and ranchers, and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers ensuring that the Department and its programs are open and transparent. The Department is committed to ensuring that all USDA constituents, including historically underserved groups, have the opportunity to participate in and benefit from the programs offered by the Department. The 2014 Budget requests $1 million.

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.

For necessary expenses of the Department of Agriculture, to comply with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.), [$3,992,000]$3,600,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That appropriations and funds available herein to the Department for Hazardous Materials Management may be transferred to any agency of the Department for its use in meeting all requirements pursuant to the above Acts on Federal and non-Federal lands.

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Department has the responsibility to meet the same standards for environmental cleanup and regulatory compliance regarding hazardous wastes and hazardous substances as private businesses. With substantial commitments under these Acts, the Hazardous Materials Management account was established as a central fund so that the Department's agencies may be reimbursed for their cleanup efforts. The Department determines what projects to fund by using objective criteria that identify what sites pose the greatest threats to public health and the environment. The 2014 Budget requests $4 million.

The Economic Research Service provides economic and other social science research and analysis to inform public and private decision-making on food, agriculture, natural resources, and rural America. The Agency's mission is to anticipate 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 (ARMS) and associated farm and farm household finance estimates, consumer data and related research on food consumption, 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 FSA and NCRS; 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. The 2014 budget request of $78,506,000 continues to fund ERS core program of research, data analysis, and market outlook, and in addition, supports a new program enhancement, Research Innovations for Improving Policy Effectiveness, which will strengthen ERS' ability to conduct research through two innovative strategies—the use of behavioral economics and the statistical use of administrative data—to address critical information gaps that hinder policy effectiveness. Results of the initiative will provide science-based evidence that informs decision making by policy makers and program managers in the USDA, across Federal and State Governments, and in the Congress. In addition, ERS proposes an initiative for 2014 that will fund enhancements of its general information technology support through the redirection of IT funding. Additional funds received from other Governmental agencies may also be available for support of economic research and analysis.

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 400 reports issued each year. In addition, the Census of Agriculture, which is conducted every five years for years ending in 2 and 7, takes a snapshot of America's agriculture and provides comprehensive data on the Nation's agricultural industry down to the county level. NASS' responsibilities are authorized under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C 1621–1627) and the Census of Agriculture Act of 1997, Public Law 105–113 (7 U.S.C. 2204g).

Agricultural Estimates.—According to the USDA Chief Economist the Agricultural Estimates program is vital to for producers, agricultural commodity markets in the U.S. and the world, policy makers in government, and people involved in making planning, investment, price discovery mechanisms, and marketing decisions. Billions of dollars could be put at risk without these essential Agricultural Estimates statistical reports. 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 commodity markets; 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. In 2012 NASS achieved several accomplishments: 1) conducted a survey of hogs for USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service's National Animal Health Monitoring System; 2) centralized processing of the Objective Yield samples at the National Operations Center; 3) developed several vegetation indexes to improve crop growth models to determine crop stages; 4) obtained system code for Computer Audio Recorded Interview system from the U. S. Census Bureau and started testing to improve the quality of data collection; and 5) completed its third 48 state Cropland Data Layer for the 2011 reference year with high resolution and improved accuracy of the classifications and the precision of the acreage estimates generated.

Census of Agriculture.—The Census of Agriculture provides the only source of comparable and consistent detailed data about agriculture down to the county level. The Census of Agriculture is critical because it provides comprehensive data on the agriculture economy, land use, production expenses, value of land and buildings, farm size and characteristics of farm operators, market value of agricultural production sold, acreage of major crops, inventory of livestock and poultry, and farm irrigation practices. The Census of Agriculture helps to measure trends and new developments in the agricultural sector of our Nation's economy. In 2012 NASS achieved several accomplishments: 1) finalized the mail list for the 2012 Census of Agriculture; 2) completed the online reporting system through exhaustive testing to improve data quality and reduce respondent burden; 3) finished the forms design process for the preparation of mail packets; 4) enhanced critical programming and tested to automate and streamline the correction of omitted and erroneous data in order to minimize analyst intervention; and 5) continued a vigorous marketing campaign to encourage producers to be represented in the 2012 Census of Agriculture. The 2014 Budget request is for a level to reflect the expected activity related to completing and releasing the results of the 2012 Census of Agriculture and conducting scheduled Follow-on surveys.

The 2014 request of $159,601,000 for NASS includes $42.3 million for the Census of Agriculture. NASS will do two much needed Follow-on surveys: 1) the Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey, and 2) the Census of Aquaculture. At the request of the USDA Chief Economist, NASS will start producing four of the Current Industrial Reports (CIR) formerly compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau. The CIRs include: 1) Oilseeds, Beans, & Nuts; 2) Fats and Oils (Production, Consumption, & Stocks); 3) Cotton, Manmade Fiber Staple, & Raw Linters (Consumption, & Stocks, & Spindle Activity); and 4) Flour Milling Products. Funding for Agricultural Estimates will continue at the 2012 base level of about $117 million. NASS continues to review its programs to improve 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). NASS also provides technical consultation, support, and assistance for international programs under participating agency service agreements.

The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the principal in-house research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). ARS conducts scientific 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. This mission is carried out through ARS' major research program areas and other activities listed below (in italics).

The major research programs in ARS address and support the Department's priorities and are: New Products/Product Quality/Value Added; Environmental Stewardship; Livestock/Crop Production; Livestock/Crop Protection; Food Safety; and Human Nutrition.

The 2014 Salaries and Expenses budget for ARS requests $1,124 million, which includes increases for new and expanded research initiatives in environmental stewardship; animal/crop breeding and protection; food safety; child and human nutrition; priority initiatives in the earth sciences area including, sustainable agriculture, climate change, and bioenergy; and the National Agricultural Library, as well as salary increases. ARS will finance these new and expanded initiatives almost entirely through the redirection of $125.2 million in existing lines of research including the consolidation or closure of some research locations. The proposed reductions will provide necessary funding for the critical research priorities proposed by the agency for 2014.

New Products/Product Quality/Value Added._ARS 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 for domestic and foreign markets, and 3) providing higher quality, healthy foods that satisfy consumer needs in the United States and abroad.
Environmental Stewardship—ARS research programs in environmental stewardship span the areas of water availability and watershed management; climate change, soil, and emissions; agricultural and industrial byproducts; agricultural system competitiveness and sustainability; and pasture, forage, and rangeland systems. 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 research programs also focus on 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.

Livestock Production._ARS' livestock production program is directed toward fostering an abundant, safe, nutritionally wholesome, and competitively priced supply of animal products produced in a viable, competitive, and sustainable animal agriculture sector of the economy by: 1) safeguarding and utilizing animal genetic resources, associated genetic and genomic databases, and bioinformatic tools; 2) developing a basic understanding of food animal physiology for food animal industry issues related to animal production, animal well-being, and product quality and healthfulness; and 3) developing information, best management practices, novel and innovative tools, and technologies that improve animal production systems, enhance human health, and ensure domestic food security.

Crop Production._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 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.

Livestock Protection._ARS' research on livestock protection 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 through the discovery and development of diagnostics, vaccines, biotherapeutics, animal genomics applications, disease management systems, animal disease models, and farm biosecurity measures. 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) ensure access to specialized high containment facilities to study zoonotic and emerging diseases; 3) develop an integrated animal and microbial genomics research program; 4) establish core competencies in bovine, swine, ovine, and avian 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.

Crop Protection._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.

Food Safety._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 on 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.

Human Nutrition._Maintenance of health throughout life 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.

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."

Repair and Maintenance of Facilities._Funds 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.

Reimbursements._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.

The 2014 Budget includes $4.0 million, which is the same as the 2012 enacted level.

Crop Protection/Pest Management Program._This program supports projects that respond to pest management challenges with coordinated region-wide and national research, education, and extension programs, and serves as a catalyst for promoting further development and use of integrated pest management approaches. The program also fosters regional and national team building efforts, communication networks, and enhanced stakeholder participation. The 2014 Budget includes $17.1 million, which reflects combined pest management funding transferred from Research and Education and Extension Activities.

Regional rural development centers._Funding supports activities that pursue a holistic development strategy that tailors programming to meet regional and local needs and addresses areas of opportunity arising from a consumer-driven agricultural economy. The 2014 Budget includes $1.0 million, which is the same as the 2012 enacted level.

Food and agriculture defense initiative (homeland security)._The program provides support and enhancement of nationally-coordinated plant and animal disease diagnostic networks and supports activities to identify and respond to high risk biological pathogens in the food and agricultural system. The 2014 Budget includes 6.0 million. Additional funding for these laboratories is included in the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative._This mandatory program, authorized by section 7206 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA), 2008 Farm Bill, supports research and extension programs that enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic agricultural products. Mandatory funding for the program expired at the end of September 2012.

Specialty Crop Research Initiative._This mandatory program, authorized by section 7311 of the FCEA, 2008 Farm Bill, provides funding to solve critical industry issues through research and extension activities that focus on research in plant breeding, genetics, and genomics to improve crop characteristics; efforts to identify and address threats from pests and diseases, including threats to specialty crop pollinators; efforts to improve production efficiency, productivity, and profitability over the long term; new innovations and technology, including improved mechanization and technologies that delay or inhibit ripening; and methods to prevent, detect, monitor, control, and respond to potential food safety hazards in the production and processing of specialty crops. Mandatory funding for the program expired at the end of September 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 grants._Section 7406 of FCEA establishes the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). AFRI is the core competitive grant program 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 agricultural and food production and security ; agricultural production and climate variability; sustainable bioenergy; nutrition and health; food safety; foundational science; food, agricultural, natural resources, and human sciences education initiative; and water and water resources. 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. The 2014 Budget proposes to increase funding for AFRI from $266 million to $383 million, a 44 percent increase in this program from the 2013 estimate.

Payments under the Hatch Act._Funds under the Hatch Act are allocated on a formula basis to agricultural experiment stations of the land-grant colleges in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Micronesia, and Northern Mariana Islands. The 2014 Budget is funded at the same level as the 2012 enacted level, $236.3 million.

Cooperative forestry research._These funds are allocated by formula to land-grant colleges or agricultural experiment stations in the 50 States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other State-supported colleges and universities having a forestry school and offering graduate training in forestry sciences. The 2014 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 University._Funds allocated on a formula basis support agricultural research and broaden the curricula at the eighteen 1890 land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University. The 2014 Budget is funded at the same level as the 2012 enacted level, $50.9 million.

Special research grants._This program addresses research areas of national interest. The 2014 Budget includes $22.7 million for sustainable agriculture. Funding is proposed for IR-4 minor crop pest management at $11.9 million to address the growing need for registration of safe pesticides for minor crops and lead to a reduction by half in the levels of chemical residues in food prooducts. Funding for agroclimatology (global change) is proposed at $1.4 million for research at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative. The 2014 Budget also includes funding for aquaculture centers at the same level as 2012 enacted, $3.9 million.

1994 Institutions Research._The 2014 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.

Federal administration._A coordinating and review staff assists in maintaining cooperation within and among the States, and between the States and their Federal research partners. This staff also administers research and education grants and payments to States. Federal administration is funded from a combination of program set-asides from formula and grant programs and from direct appropriation for administration. The 2014 Budget includes $14.4 million, which is $3.8 million over the 2013 annualized CR level. Most of the increase will support the Electronic Grants Administration System.

Higher education._2014 funding is proposed for Hispanic-serving institutions education grants program at $9.2 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, and Grants for Insular Areas programs at $1.7 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 2014 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 2014 Budget, at $4.8 million, for the Veterinary Medical Services Act to provide incentives to hire Federal veterinarians to work in shortage areas.

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

Native American Institutions Endowment Fund._ The 2014 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 Fund._This 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 2014 Budget includes $10 million for this proposed fund.

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

The 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 2014 Budget proposes Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) programs to be funded at $294.0 million, which is the same as the 2012 enacted level.

Extension resources are provided to the States by these formula funds and competitively-awarded programs such as sustainable agriculture. Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) provides payments to the 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University, funded at $42.6 million in the 2014 Budget request, the same as the 2012 enacted level, and provides funds to support the Extension's infrastructure.

Designated programs funded by Smith-Lever 3(d) include the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP); New Technologies for Agricultural Extension; Children, Youth and Families at Risk; AgrAbility/Farm Safety (Farm Safety Program and Youth Farm Safety Education and Certification); and Federally-Recognized Tribes Extension Program. The 2014 Budget includes $85.7 million for these programs. Other Extension programs supported in the 2014 Budget include Extension Services at 1994 Institutions at $4.3 million, Renewable Resources Extension Act at $4.1 million, and 1890 Facilities Grants at $19.7 million.

Federal administration._A coordinating and review staff assists in maintaining cooperation within and among the States, and between the States and their Federal partners. This staff also administers extension grants and payments to States. Federal administration is funded from direct appropriation for administration. The 2014 Budget proposes $8.6 million in funding, which includes $0.5 million for support of risk management education.

Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program._This mandatory program, authorized by section 7410 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA), 2008 Farm Bill, provides funding to support the development of education, outreach, curricula, workshops, educational teams, training, and technical assistance programs to assist beginning farmers and ranchers in the United States and its territories in entering, building, and managing successful farm and ranch enterprises. This program also provides support for an online electronic and library clearinghouse to provide associated support to individually funded projects, and the overall program. Mandatory funding for the program expired at the end of September 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' 2014 budget request of $798 million is an overall reduction of $24 million from the 2013 estimate. The budget request includes funding to continue implementation of the refocused Animal Disease Traceability program that will enable us to detect animal disease faster, minimize disease spread, and assist in keeping global trade markets open to U.S. animals and animal products. The Agency is also requesting funding to enforce the Animal Welfare retail pet store rule, which closes a loophole of pets being sold over the Internet, phone, and by mail, that are currently exempt from the regulatory process. The requested funding levels will help support these important regulatory efforts.
APHIS also is requesting $20 million to implement a national control program for feral swine. Feral swine are a harmful and destructive invasive species whose increase in population and expanding range is having significant impact on animal and human health; crops and livestock; rural, suburban and even urban areas; and, natural resources and native resources, causing an estimated $1.5 billion in damages annually. The overall objective of the program will be to minimize the damage inflicted by feral swine. The Agency proposed an increase to support the efforts, while proposing reductions in other areas. These reductions include programs where we have achieved success, such as nearing eradication for the cotton pests pink bollworm and boll weevil, and the Agency's enhanced ability to prepare for, detect, and respond to avian health issues. Other reductions are for programs which we have determined as lower priority, where the Federal role could be smaller, and where cooperators who benefit directly from activities should increase their contributions. The budget request also includes decreases for programs where activities are concluding or progress is slower than anticipated.

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 2014 Budget proposes $1,008.5 million for inspection of meat, poultry and egg products, which is a $2.1 million decrease from the annualized 2013 Continuing Resolution level. The proposed budget contains an increase for sufficient funding to implement the Cooperative Interstate Shipment program. There is a decrease for implementation of new methods in poultry slaughter inspection. In addition, the budget proposes 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.

Under authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, Federal meat and poultry inspection services are provided upon request and for a fee in cases where inspection is not mandated by statute. This service includes: certifying products for export beyond the requirements of export certificates; inspecting certain animals and poultry intended for human food where inspection is not required by statute, such as buffalo, rabbit, and quail; and inspecting products intended for animal consumption.

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 2014 Budget requests $40.5 million, an increase of $2.55 million above the annualized 2013 Continuing Resolution level to purchase necessary equipment, including scientific equipment, supplies, and other support expenses.

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.

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 2014 Budget requests $82,792,000 for Marketing Services, approximately $0.8 million above the annualized 2013 Continuing Resolution level. The individual Marketing Services activities include:

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

Inspection, grading and standardization._Nationally uniform standards of quality for agricultural products are established and applied to specific lots of products to: promote confidence between buyers and sellers; reduce hazards in marketing due to misunderstandings and disputes arising from the use of nonstandard descriptions; and encourage better preparation of uniform quality products for market. Grading services are provided 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 protection and promotion._This program consists of: 1) the research and promotion programs which are designed to improve the competitive position and expand markets for cotton, eggs and egg products, honey, pork, beef, dairy products, potatoes, watermelons, mushrooms, soybeans, fluid milk, popcorn, blueberries, 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. Of the total funds provided for Marketing Services pursuant to the Continuing Resolution (CR) for 2013, $1,842,000 is for Pesticide Recordkeeping (PRK) program activities for the full term of the CR. No funding is included in the 2014 Budget for this program.
The Pesticide Data program develops comprehensive, statistically defensible information on pesticide residues in food to improve government dietary risk procedures.
Federal seed inspectors conduct tests on seed samples to help ensure truthful labeling of agricultural and vegetable seeds sold in interstate commerce.
The Capper-Volstead Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act protect producers against discriminatory practices by handlers, permit producers to engage in cooperative efforts, and ensure that such cooperatives do not engage in practices that monopolize or restrain trade.
The National Organic Program certifies that organically produced food products meet national standards.

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

The Acts are intended to ensure equitable treatment to farmers and others in the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. Commission merchants, dealers, and brokers handling these products in interstate and foreign commerce are licensed. Complaints of violations are investigated and violations dealt with by a) informal agreements between the two parties, b) formal decisions involving payment of reparation awards, and/or c) suspension or revocation of license and/or publication of the facts.

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.

The Agriculture Appropriations Act of 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c) established the Section 32 program 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 statutes.

Expenses and refunds, inspection and grading of farm products._The 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.

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.

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 risk management education. This account covers expenses of national, regional and compliance offices located across the United States. The 2014 Budget requests $71.496 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 Corporation Fund account.

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 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 2012 with over $11 billion in premiums and indemnities projected at about $17 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 2014 Budget requests funding to support $13.7 billion in obligations, a decrease of over $4.7 billion from the 2013 estimated obligations of $18.3 billion. Estimates for the 2013 fiscal year are based on 2012 crop year projected loss ratio of 1.5, factoring in some actuals with estimates for the year. In fiscal year 2014, funding level estimates are based on a 1.0 loss ratio, which is the statutory target loss ratio used for estimating future crop insurance costs.

In fiscal year 2013 the appropriations request appears lower than what might be expected in a 1.5 loss ratio year, but that is due to a timing shift in premium collections. Policy changes made by the 2008 Farm Bill were intended to accelerate premium collections originally due in fiscal year 2013 into fiscal year 2012. However, in response to the severe drought conditions the USDA used its discretionary authority to waive interest penalties for one month on late paid premiums. This effectively shifted some premium collections back into fiscal year 2013 and reduced the overall need for additional appropriations. This is a one-time shift, and the funding returns to normal beginning in fiscal year 2014.

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.

The following table illustrates Crop Year statistics as of September 30, 2012. Crop Year is generally all activity for crops from July 1-June 30 of a given year.

Financing._The Corporation is authorized under the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, to use funds from the issuance of capital stock which provides working capital for the Corporation.
Receipts, which are for deposit to this fund, mainly come from premiums paid by farmers. The principal payments from this fund are for indemnities to insured farmers, and administrative expenses for approved insurance providers.
Premium subsidies are authorized by section 508(b) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, and are received through appropriations.
The following table illustrates premium subsidies and indemnities for all crop years as expected to occur during the period of October 1-September 30 for fiscal years 2013 and 2014 .

As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility the Budget includes five 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 few 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 $2.8 billion over 10 years.

3. Decrease the premium subsidy paid on behalf of producers by 3 percentage points. The proposal would reduce the premium subsidy levels by 3 percentage points for those policies that are currently subsidized by more than 50 percent. This proposal is expected to save about $4.2 billion over 10 years.

4. Decrease the premium subsidy paid on behalf of producers by 2 percentage points on policies where the producer elects the harvest price option (HPO). This reduction is in addition to the 3 percentage point reduction on policies currently subsidized by more than 50 percent. The HPO provides upward price protection which provides a higher indemnity if the commodity prices are higher at harvest time than when the policy was purchased. This proposal is expected to save about $3.2 billion over 10 years.

5. Decrease 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 $292 million over 10 years.

Federal Funds

For necessary expenses of the Farm Service Agency, [$1,208,290,000]$1,176,460,000: Provided, That the Secretary is authorized to use the services, facilities, and authorities (but not the funds) of the Commodity Credit Corporation to make program payments for all programs administered by the Agency: Provided further, That other funds made available to the Agency for authorized activities may be advanced to and merged with this account: Provided further, That funds made available to county committees shall remain available until expended. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the 2008 Farm Bill through the 2013 crop year. 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 2014 Budget decreases the direct appropriation by $22 million and increases the transfers by $17 million, providing about $1.5 billion in total (approximately the same level as the 2012 enacted level).

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.

Farm programs._These programs provide an economic safety net through farm income support to eligible producers, cooperatives, and associations to help improve the economic stability and viability of the agricultural sector and to ensure the production of an adequate and reasonably priced supply of food and fiber. Activities of the Agency include providing direct and counter-cyclical and average crop revenue election 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 base acres for farm planting history; (d) notifying producers of established base acres 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 and average crop revenue election (ACRE) payments and issuing checks; (i) certifying payment eligibility and monitoring payment limitations; and (j) processing farm storage facility loans and issuing checks.

Conservation and environment._These 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.

Commodity operations._This activity includes: (a) overall management of CCC-owned commodities; (b) purchasing commodities; (c) donating commodities; (d) selling commodities; (e) accounting for loans and commodities; and (f) commercial warehouse activities, which include improving the effectiveness and efficiency of FSA's commodity acquisition, procurement, storage, and distribution activities to support domestic and international food assistance programs and administering the U.S. Warehouse Act (USWA). 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 underserved groups. Activities include reviewing applications, servicing the loan portfolio, and providing technical assistance and guidance to borrowers.

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 69 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 2014 Budget requests $3.8 million for the program, which is the same as the 2013 estimated level.

The Claims Resolution Act of 2010, P.L. 111–291 that was signed into law on December 8, 2010 provides funding to settle claims of prior discrimination brought by black farmers against the Department of Agriculture. These funds supplement funding previously provided to USDA for this purpose by section 14012 of P.L. 110–246. Claimants that suffered discrimination between 1989 and 1997 and submitted a late-filing request can seek fast-track payments of up to $50,000 plus debt relief, or choose a longer, more rigorous review and documentation process for damages of up to $250,000. The actual value of awards may be reduced based on the total amount of funds made available and the number of successful claims.

In 2012, $600,000 was appropriated by Section 727 of the 2012 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, P.L. 112–55. The program's purpose is to demonstrate the use of new technologies that increase the rate of growth of re-forested hardwood trees on private non-industrial forest lands, enrolling lands on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The 2014 Budget proposes no funding for this 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.

During 2012, 45 States and 1 Territory participated in the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP), involving an estimated 1,900,000 acres and approximately $56,113,938 in cost-share and technical assistance outlays. In 2012, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, P.L. 112–55, provided $122,700,000 for ECP. Use of this appropriation is limited to major disasters declared pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.). These funds continue to help agricultural producers remove debris from farmland, restore livestock fences and conservation structures, provide water for livestock during periods of severe drought, and grade and shape farmland damaged by natural disasters. The Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 provided $15 million for ECP and, as in 2012, limits the use of funds for major disasters declared pursuant to the Stafford Act. The 2014 Budget does not propose funding for this program.

The Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP) provides payments to eligible owners of non-industrial private forest (NIPF) for implementation of emergency measures to restore land damaged by a natural disaster. A total of $18 million was appropriated by the Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2010, P.L. 111–212 and an additional $28.4 million was appropriated in 2012 by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, P.L. 112–55.

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 authorized this program to continue through 2012. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended this program through September 30, 2013. The 2012 enacted level provided $3.8 million for GSWPP, and the 2014 Budget proposes no funding for this program.

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

This program account includes subsidies to provide direct and guaranteed loans for farm ownership, farm operating, 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 2014 Budget does not provide funding for guaranteed subsidized farm operating loans or direct conservation loans. The 2013 estimated level is $108.9 million for loan subsidies, and the 2014 Budget requests $91.6 million for loan subsidies and grants, which is a decrease of $17.3 million. However, the 2014 Budget request is sufficient to support about the same loan levels as those in 2013. The 2014 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 2013 estimated level provides $299.4 million, and the 2014 Budget requests $314.9 million, which is an increase of $15.5 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 2012, $286,777 was paid to producers who filed claims under the program and the 2014 Budget requests such sums as may be necessary, which are estimated to be $250,000 for this program.

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.

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). Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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

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

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

Budget assumptions._The following general assumptions form the basis for the Corporation's 2013 and 2014 budget estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2013 and 2014 from the present level; (b) 2013 crop production will increase from 2012 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2014 are expected to be higher than 2013 levels; and (d) yields for the 2013 crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends.
It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the year ending September 30, 2014, 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 2012–2023 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.

Price support, marketing assistance loans, and related stabilization programs._The Corporation conducts programs to support farm income and prices and stabilize the market for agricultural commodities. Price support is provided to producers of agricultural commodities through loans, purchases, payments, and other means. This is done mainly under the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act, as amended, the Agricultural Act of 1949 (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) as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–240).
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 Payments._The 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 and through the 2013 crop year by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. 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) Payments._The 2008 Farm Bill adds the ACRE program for the 2009–2012 crop years and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the ACRE program to the 2013 crop year. 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 loans._The 2002 Farm Bill authorized producers of eligible crops to receive non-recourse marketing assistance loans from the government for any quantity of a loan commodity produced on the farm by pledging their production as loan collateral. This loan shall have a term of 9 months beginning on the first day of the first month after the month in which the loan is made. The loan cannot be extended. As a condition of the receipt of a marketing assistance loan, the producer shall comply with applicable conservation requirements under subtitle B of title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 and applicable wetland protection requirements under subtitle C of title XII of the Act during the term of the loan. Producers of eligible commodities can repay a marketing assistance loan at a rate that is the lesser of (1) the loan rate established for the commodity plus interest; or (2) a rate that the Secretary determines. Special rules apply to upland cotton, rice, and extra long staple cotton. Crops eligible for marketing assistance loans include wheat, corn, barley, oats, grain sorghum, rice, upland cotton, soybeans, extra long staple cotton, other oilseeds, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, honey, wool, and mohair. 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 producers._The 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 program._Under the 2008 Farm Bill, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, peanuts qualify for ACRE or direct payments, counter-cyclical payments, marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments for the 2009 through 2013 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.

Tobacco program._The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, P.L. 108–357, eliminated the program effective with the 2005 crop. In return for losing the program, growers and quota holders will receive a buyout. The owners of quota 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 program._Sugar qualifies for price support. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the national average sugar loan rates to cover through the 2007 crops at 18 cents per pound for raw cane sugar and 22.9 cents per pound for refined beet sugar. The 2008 Farm Bill, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 provides for escalating rates through crop year 2013. 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 2011–2013. For refined beet sugar, the rates for crop year 2009–2013 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 2013 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.

Dairy program._The 2002 Farm Bill extended the Dairy Price Support Program from June 1, 2002 through December 31, 2007 at a rate of $9.90 per hundredweight for milk containing 3.7 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, as amended by the American Taxpayer Releif Act of 2012 replaces the price support program of the 2002 Farm Bill with the Dairy Product Price Support Program, which is effective for calendar years 2008–2013. 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, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extends the MILC program through September 30, 2013: 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, 2013. 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.

Payment Limitations._In general, the 2002 Farm Bill revised the Food Security Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 1308) for payment limitations. The total amount of direct payments made to a person during any crop year for 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 2009–2013 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 Program._The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 eliminated the area loss requirement for triggers and made other changes. It also included a provision that all types or varieties of a crop or commodity may be considered to be a single eligible crop for NAP assistance 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 Programs._

Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP)._DEIP provides cash bonus payments to exporters to facilitate commercial sales of U.S. dairy products in overseas markets. Estimates of the quantity of dairy products to be exported under DEIP and associated expenditures were formulated within the maximum allowable expenditure and quantity levels specified in conjunction with provisions of the Uruguay Round Agreement. Consequently, current baseline projections assume that DEIP will not exceed $116.6 million annually during 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, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 continued the authority for the MAP program with funding of $200 million for 2008–2013.

Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMD) and Quality Samples Program._Under the FMD program, cost-share assistance is provided to nonprofit commodity and agricultural trade associations to support overseas market development activities that are designed to remove long-term impediments to increased U.S. trade. The 2002 Farm Bill increased the available funds for this program to $34.5 million for 2002 through 2007 and the 2008 Farm Bill, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 continues this funding level for 2008–2013.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.

Commodity Donations._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 Trust._The 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 PL 480 Title II 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, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 extended the authorization to replenish the BEHT through 2013.

Conservation Programs._Conservation 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 and air 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. In the 2008 Farm Bill (P.L. 110–246) CRP was re-authorized through September 30, 2012.The 2008 Farm Bill permitted 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. Most recently, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–240) extended the CRP enrollment period through September 30, 2013.
CRP enrolls land through general signups, Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) signups, and non-CREP continuous signups, including FWP. 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 2011 and 2012, in which 2.7 million acres and 3.6 million acres, respectively, were enrolled. Approximately 620,000 acres were enrolled under FY 2012s continuous signup. The budget assumes a general signup of approximately 2.8 million acres in 2013, and a continuous signup of about 700,000 acres. Under continuous signup, including CREP and FWP, a combined total of 5.3 million acres were under contract as of the end of fiscal year 2012.
Fiscal year 2012 ended with 29.5 million acres under contract. With contracts expiring on 6.5 million acres on September 30, 2012 and contracts beginning on 3.6 million acres from FY 2012's general signup and 500,000 acres of continuous signup, 2012 enrollment began with 27.1 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. For FY2014, the Budget proposes to allow up to $50 million in mandatory funding for FSA to administer the CRP. Finally, the Budget includes a legislative proposal to gradually reduce the total acreage cap for CRP to 25 million acres.
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 was made available for VPA-HIP in fiscal year 2012. The 2013 Budget proposes funding for a similar program to be administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. However, in January 2013, The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–240) authorized up to $10 million to be appropriated for VPA-HIP in fiscal year 2013 but funds still must be appropriated through separate legislation.

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 establishment and annual payments in FY 2012, BCAP processed the submission of project proposals seeking more than $80 million to enroll more than 76,000 acres. FSA designated two new project areas and expanded on existing project area, targeting acreage signup in FY 2012 of 9,000 acres. BCAP project area signups were held from June to September 2012, resulting in the enrollment of over 3,129 acres for three different feedstocks (shrub willow, switch grass, & two varieties of giant miscanthus) with intended conversion to fuel pellets, bio-ethanol, and biobased products.
The total BCAP obligations for fiscal year 2012 were approximately $11.6 million. The fiscal year 2012 BCAP matching payments total investment (obligation) was approximately $557,443, supporting the collection, harvest, storage and transportation of nearly 10,320 dry tons of herbaceous crop residue (corn stover) for conversion to bioenergy in fiscal year 2012. Fiscal year 2012 BCAP obligations for appeals, technical assistance, IT and other administrative costs totaled approximately $2.7 million. The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (P.L. 112–55) limited funding for the program to $17 million. In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–240) authorized up to $20 million to be appropriated for BCAP in fiscal year 2013 but funds must still be appropriated through separate legislation.

Agricultural Management Assistance Program._The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized CCC funding of $10 million for 2001 and subsequent years for the Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMAP). AMAP provides cost-share assistance to producers in 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 extended the $15 million level through fiscal year 2014 The 2014 Budget proposes a reduction of the level to $10 million in FY 2014.

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. Signup ended on January 30, 2009. There were 231,365 acres enrolled as of September 30, 2012. These acres have not counted against the CRP maximum program authority for acreage enrollment.

Operating expenses._The Corporation carries out its functions through utilization of employees and facilities of other Government agencies. Administrative expenses are incurred by: the Farm Service Agency (FSA); the Foreign Agricultural Service; the Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Risk Management Agency; other agencies of the Department engaged in the Corporation's activities; and the Office of the Inspector General for audit functions. Additional expenses are incurred by FSA county offices for work related to programs of the Corporation, other FSA expenses offset by revenue, custodian, and agency expenses of the Federal Reserve banks and lending agencies, and miscellaneous costs.
Expenses are incurred for acquisition, operation, maintenance, improvement, or disposition of existing property that the Corporation owns or in which it has an interest. These expenses are treated as program expenses. Such program expenses include inspection, classing, and grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or Federal- or State-licensed inspectors; and special services performed by Federal agencies within and outside this Department. Most of these general expenses, including storage and handling, transportation, inspection, classing and grading, and producer storage payments, are included in program costs. They are shown in the program and financing schedule in the entries entitled "Storage, transportation, and other obligations not included above.''
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.

Borrowing authority._The Corporation has an authorized capital stock of $100 million held by the U.S. Treasury and, effective in 1988, authority to have outstanding borrowings up to $30 billion at any one time.
Funds are borrowed from the Treasury and may also be borrowed from private lending agencies and others. The Corporation reserves a sufficient amount of its borrowing authority to purchase at any time all notes and other obligations evidencing loans made to the Corporation by such agencies and others. All bonds, notes, debentures, and similar obligations issued by the Corporation are subject to approval by the Secretary of the Treasury as required by the Act of March 8, 1938.
Interest on borrowings from the Treasury (and on capital stock) is paid at a rate based upon the average interest rate of all outstanding marketable obligations (of comparable maturity date) of the United States as of the preceding month. Interest is also paid on other notes and obligations at a rate prescribed by the Corporation and approved by the Secretary of the Treasury.
The Department of Agriculture and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1966, made provision for terminating interest after June 30, 1964 on the portion of the Corporation's borrowings from the Treasury equal to the unreimbursed realized losses recorded on the books of the Corporation after the end of the fiscal year in which such losses are realized.

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

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

Appropriations._Under section 2 of Public Law 87–155 annual appropriations are authorized for each fiscal year to reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses incurred as of the close of each year.
The special activities are financed as indicated in the program descriptions above. In addition to certain reimbursements from other agencies, appropriations are made for foreign assistance programs.

As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility, the Budget includes significant offsets. The proposals include programmatic changes that:

1. Eliminate Direct Payments.—The 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. Direct payments do not vary based upon actual production or prices. As a result, landowners receive direct payments during times of record profitability, yet the direct payments may not provide an adequate safety-net during difficult times. Eliminating them 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 25 million acres, saving about $2.2 billion over 10 years when compared to the 2014 Budget's baseline.

3. Extend Mandatory Disaster Assistance.—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 some of these programs. In particular, the Administration proposes to extend mandatory funding, through the Commodity Credit Corporation, for the Livestock Indemnity Program, Livestock Forage Program, Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees and Farm Raised Fish, and Tree Assistance Program. The programs provide financial assistance to producers when they suffer a 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. This proposal is estimated to cost about $3 billion over 10 years.

4. Provide Gross Margin Protection for Dairy Producers.—The Administration supports a strong safety net for dairy producers. While row crop producers are experiencing record or near record prices for the corn and soy beans they raise, the profits of dairy producers are being squeezed by rising feed costs. Dairy gross margin insurance, available through the Federal crop insurance program, would allow producers to purchase insurance coverage to protect their profitability. Federal support for livestock insurance products, including dairy gross margin insurance, is currently capped at $20 million per year. This proposal would provide an additional $100 million per year, from the funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation, to support the dairy gross margin insurance program available through the Federal crop insurance program.

5. Provide Funding for Other Administration Priorities.—The Administration remains strongly committed to programs that create jobs, expand markets for existing products, and help develop the next generation of farmers and ranchers. To accomplish these goals, the Administration proposes additional funding to extend the Biomass Research and Development Initiative and the Rural Energy for America Program and provide funding for organics, specialty crops, and beginning farmers. These proposals would invest an additional $1.3 billion in these high priority initiatives.

For administrative expenses to carry out the Commodity Credit Corporation's export guarantee program, GSM 102 and GSM 103, [$6,806,000]$6,748,000; 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 [$6,452,000]$6,394,000 shall be paid to the appropriation for "Foreign Agricultural Service, Salaries and Expenses'', and of which $354,000 shall be paid to the appropriation for "Farm Service Agency, Salaries and Expenses''. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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 2014 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 2014 Budget includes $6.8 million for administrative expenses.

Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) Program._The 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 Loans._The 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.

The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill), P.L. 110–246, provided for Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance under Sec.12033 and 15101. The Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 provides authority to continue the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 for fiscal year 2013. 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 $694,335,032 were incurred and total outlays were $696,171,992 in FY 2012, as shown in the table below. Unobligated balances carried over to 2012 of $485,094,851 and obligated repayable advances of $400,000,000 provided the funding for 2012 obligations. In 2012, the amount of customs receipts credited to the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund receipt account totaled $36,629.69. Available budget authority totaling $176,699,490 was carried forward into 2013 as an unobligated balance.

An additional $705,000,000 of borrowing authority in 2013 will be utilized to make payments for the continuing disaster programs (SURE payments for qualifying crop losses due to natural disasters occurring on or before September 30, 2011).

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) protects the natural resource base on private lands by providing technical assistance to farmers, ranchers and other private landowners to support the development of conservations plans, and by providing financial assistance to partially offset the cost to install practices necessary to safeguard natural resources and improve wildlife habitat. NRCS provides additional support for conservation efforts through soil surveys, snow survey and water supply forecasting, and plant materials centers. These activities are supported by appropriated funding, including funding which has traditionally been requested in the Conservation Operations account, and by mandatory funding in the Farm Security and Rural Investment account. NRCS is comprised of roughly 11,000 employees across a wide range of natural resource backgrounds such as soil and rangeland conservation, wildlife biology, forestry and engineering. Through this collective conservationist workforce, the Administration strives to protect the natural resource base on private lands.

In 2014, the Administration proposes to show the total staff resources necessary to implement its private lands conservation program in the Private Lands Conservation Operations account. Importantly, this new display will not alter the current authorities under which staff resources are provided through mandatory and discretionary funding. In addition to providing greater transparency regarding the level of staff required to accomplish this important mission, the Administration also proposes to competitively award funding to private sector conservation partners in a way that will leverage Federal resources and increase key conservation outcomes across important regional and National landscapes. This process will ensure that all partnering entities are held to the same standards, metrics and performance measures while still allowing for flexible and innovative approaches to private lands conservation. A more detailed description of the specific programs within the Private lands Conservation Operations account follows:

Technical assistance._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 2014 Budget requests a total of $807.9 million for Conservation Operations.


	2012 actual	2013 est.	2014 est.

Customers receiving technical assistance for planning & application, number	85,900	85,400	81,600
Conservation systems planned, million acres	26.8	26.6	25.4
Cropland with conservation applied to improve soil quality, million acres	8.2	8.0	7.6
Grazing land with conservation applied to protect the resource base, million acres	16.4	15.4	14.7

In addition to technical assistance for conservation planning provided through CTA, NRCS also offers technical assistance for the design, implementation, and management of cost-shared conservation practices through mandatory farm bill conservation programs under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Program. This combined technical assistance funding provides for the salaries and expenses of conservation professionals, including NRCS's extensive field staff and a growing number of technical service providers and other cooperators who work with land managers in assessing and applying conservation strategies. The following table is intended to provide a more complete summary of total Federal support for private lands conservation efforts as well as the Federal and non-Federal staff capacity supported by these technical assistance investments.

Soil surveys._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 Budget accelerates Soils Survey Program efforts to harmonize existing soils survey data to improve underlying data quality and meet new and emerging applications of soils data.

Acres mapped annually (millions)	36.8	38	40

Snow survey and water supply forecasting._Snowpack is measured at nearly 1,800 automated and manual sites across the mountain west. Water supply forecasts are issued by NRCS and are used by Federal, State, local, Tribal and private entities for decisions related to agricultural production, hydroelectric power generation, fish and wildlife management, municipal and industrial water supply, reservoir management, urban development, drought assessment, flood hazards, recreation, and water quality management.

Operation of plant materials centers._The 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 wetlands, 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 NRCS 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.

Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 provided mandatory funding for critical conservation efforts on private lands, including critical wetlands, grasslands, forests, and farm and ranch lands. 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 mandatory funding supports NRCS efforts to protect the natural resource base on private lands by providing technical assistance to farmers, ranchers and other private landowners to support the development of conservations plans, and by providing financial assistance to partially offset the cost to install practices necessary to safeguard natural resources and improve wildlife habitat.

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. In addition, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (P.L. 112–240) extended through the end of 2013 the programs that expired at the end of 2012. As noted below, a number of conservation programs were extended in the 2014 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). In 2014, the Administration proposes to show the total staff resources necessary to implement its private lands conservation program in the Private Lands Conservation Operations account. Importantly, this new display will not alter the current authorities under which staff resources are provided through mandatory and discretionary funding. This account will continue to show the funding provided for the financial 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. P.L. 112–240 extended the program's authority to enroll easements through the end of 2013. Therefore, the 2014 Budget includes $268 million to support monitoring, restoration and maintenance of easements enrolled before September 30, 2013.

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 2014 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 2014 Budget proposes $1.35 billion for this program and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2014.

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 was extended through 2014. The 2014 Budget's baseline assumes extension of this program for scorekeeping purposes at a level of $60 million.

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 2014 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 2014 Budget proposes $1,003 million for this program to enroll 11,991,222 acres and proposes to permanently reduce the program by 777,778 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 2014 Budget proposes $134 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 2014 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond that date in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes and includes a net amount (factoring in the impact of a proposed mandatory reduction) of $150 million. 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. The 2014 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond that date in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes and includes net amount (factoring in the impact of a proposed mandatory reduction) of $45 million. The program develops habitat for upland wildlife, wetland wildlife, threatened and endangered species, fish, and other wildlife.

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. P.L. 112–240 extended the program's authority through the end of 2013.

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 was extended through the end of 2013 by P.L. 112–240.

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Technical Assistance._The 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. P.L. 112–240 authorized the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to enroll new acres and retains the 32 million acre cap (enrollment is currently at 27 million acres) through September 30, 2013. The 2014 Budget assumes $96 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 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 2014, of which NRCS is limited to $2.5 million.

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. P.L 112–240 included a one year extension of program authorities provided by the 2008 Farm Bill. The Act authorizes USDA to implement these program authorities at their associated mandatory funding levels as in effect on September 30, 2012. This means that HFRP, which lost enrollment authority with the expiration of the 2008 Farm Bill, is authorized for 2013 enrollments.

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 2014, the Budget continues the agency's efforts 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 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, the Budget includes legislative proposals to reduce the allowable acreage cap for the Conservation Stewardship Program to 10,348,000 acres annually and to fund a new Agricultural Conservation Easement Program, which combines the authorities of the Wetlands Reserve Program, Grasslands Reserve Program, and the Farmland Protection Program.

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 program._NRCS 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 2013, the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act provided $180 million in Emergency Watershed Protection Program assistance for expenses related to Hurricane Sandy 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 2014 Budget does not request funding for this program.

Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 78–534._NRCS 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, 2012, and 2013, and the 2014 budget does not request funding for this program. NRCS is closing out watershed operations projects started prior to 2011 with unobligated balances from prior years.

Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 83–566._NRCS 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, 2012, and 2013, and the 2014 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 2014.

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 2014 Budget, reflecting the Administration's position that the maintenance, repair, and operation of these dams are the responsibility of local project sponsors. The Budget also proposes no mandatory funding for this program in 2014; $165 million currently available are proposed to be permanently cancelled (see General Provisions for the Department of Agriculture).

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 2013, and the 2014 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. The 2014 Budget includes a proposal to cancal remaining RC&D unobligated balances of $2.017 million.

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. Technical assistance will be provided by USDA to assist owners in complying with the terms of restoration plans under HFRP.

The 2014 Budget does not request discretionary funding for the Healthy Forests Reserve Program.

No funds are proposed for the Forestry Incentives Program (FIP). The FIP has not been reauthorized. Prior-year account balances are maintained in this account until expended. FIP shared up to 65 percent of the cost of tree planting and timber stand improvement in designated counties. Technical assistance was provided by the Forest Service. The 2012 Agriculture appropriations general provisions rescinded the unobligated balances in this account.

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 2014 Budget, given that the program is duplicative of the Wetlands Reserve Program, USDA's primary wetlands conservation program.

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 2014 includes a $32M set aside for the Comprehensive Loan Program (CLP) accounting system. The CLP investments will provide benefits to all RD stakeholders and program beneficiaries, including: improved data integrity, system reliability, and portfolio performance information; more user friendly interfaces for customers and employees alike; and the ability to adopt loan program changes more quickly.

The very low-income housing repair grant program is authorized under section 504 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. This grant program enables very low-income elderly residents in rural areas to improve or modernize their dwellings, to make the dwelling safer or more sanitary, or to remove health and safety hazards. The Budget requests $25 million for this program in 2014.

No funding is requested in the 2014 Budget for the rural housing preservation grant program. USDA's preservation activities for multifamily housing are being carried out through programs in the multifamily housing revitalization account.

For other housing assistance grants authorized for funding in this account such as supervisory and technical assistance grants as authorized by section 509(f) and 525 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, no funding is requested in the 2014 Budget, which is the same as the 2013 CR level.

The direct farm labor loan program is authorized under section 514 and the rural housing for domestic farm labor grant program is authorized under section 516 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. The loans, grants, and contracts are made to public and private nonprofit organizations for low-rent housing and related facilities for domestic farm labor. Grants assistance may not exceed 90 percent of the cost of a project. Loans and grants may be used for construction of new structures, site acquisition and development, rehabilitation of existing structures, and purchase of furnishings and equipment for dwellings, dining halls, community rooms, and infirmaries. In order to gain efficiencies in administering the program, the farm labor housing program was merged with the Rural Housing Insurance Fund (RHIF) in 2012.

For rental assistance agreements entered into or renewed pursuant to the authority under section 521(a)(2) or agreements entered into in lieu of debt forgiveness or payments for eligible households as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Housing Act of 1949, [$907,128,000] $1,015,050,000; 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 $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 [2013] 2014 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] 6 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. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175).

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 2014, the request for rental assistance grants is for one year contracts with one-year availability, with a total funding level of $1.015 billion.

The 2014 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.

For 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, [$46,942,000] $32,575,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That of the funds made available under this heading, $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 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, [$34,367,000] $20,000,000 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 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. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

USDA's portfolio of multifamily housing projects provides housing for nearly half a million low-income families, many of whom are elderly. Projects that received their financing prior to 1989 are allowed to prepay and leave the program. USDA may 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 2014 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 $20 million for continuation of the multi-family housing revitalization pilot program in 2014. This funding will allow USDA to focus on management of the 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.

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 2014 is projected to be $1.5 billion for direct loans. The 2014 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 2014 Budget requests $17 million for grant purposes. This includes $13 million for regular community facilities grants and $4 million for Tribal College grants.

Rural Housing Insurance Fund._This fund was established in 1965 (Public Law 89–117) pursuant to section 517 of title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended.
The programs funded through the Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program account are: section 502 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, section 538 multi-family housing guarantees, and section 523 self-help housing land development loan program. 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 combined into a flexible funding stream in the farm labor housing grants account in 2001. Maintaining the fleixible funding stream in the loan program account allows 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 2014, 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 2014. The subsidy rate for 2014 is a blended rate of the new/purchase single family housing guarantees with the refinanced single housing guarantees, and with the combintation annual and up-front fee structure, the subisdy rate continues to be negative.
The 2014 Budget requests a reduced loan level of $360 million for Section 502 single family housing direct loans. The 2014 Budget requests a funding level of approximately $28.4 million for Section 515 multi-family housing loans, $26.3 million for Section 504 very low-income housing repair loans, $5 million for Section 524 site development loan, and $10 million for credit sales of acquired property for single family housing loans. No funding is requested for Section 523 self-help housing land development and credit sales of acquired propery for multi-family housing.
The 2014 Budget also requests $150 million in funding for the multi-family housing guaranteed loan program, and continues to include 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.
In addition, the 2014 Budget includes $23.8 million in farm labor housing loans and $8.3 million in farm labor housing grants.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

The President's budget proposes a new economic development grant program designed to target small and emerging private businesses and cooperatives in rural areas with populations of 50,000 or less. This new program will award funding to grantees that meet or exceed minimum performance targets, and that agree to be tracked against those performance targets. Additional points will be awarded to communities that meet the minimum performance targets and have exceptional need as measured by socioeconomic indicators, established by the Secretary. Because the new program will improve upon the agency's current grant allocation and evaluation process, the President's Budget does not provide funding to the following programs: Rural Business Enterprise Grants, Rural Business Opportunity Grants, Rural Cooperative Development Grants, Small/Socially Disadvantaged Producer Grants, Rural Microenterprise Assistance Grants, and Rural Community Development Initiative Grants. The consolidated rural business and cooperative grant authority will allow the Agency to better promote economic development through regional planning, and by leveraging resources to create greater wealth, improve quality of life, and sustain and grow the regional economy. The Department plans to set up the new platform for the Rural Business and Cooperative Grants Program under a Notice of Funding Availability. For 2014, $55 million is available for the program to remain available until September 30, 2015.

For rural cooperative development grants authorized under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1932), [$27,706,000]$17,250,000, of which $2,250,000 shall be for cooperative agreements for the appropriate technology transfer for rural areas program[: Provided, That not to exceed $3,456,000 shall be for grants for cooperative development centers, individual cooperatives, or groups of cooperatives that serve socially disadvantaged groups and a majority of the boards of directors or governing boards of which are comprised of individuals who are members of socially disadvantaged groups]; and of which $15,000,000, to remain available until expended, shall be for value-added agricultural product market development grants, as authorized by section 231 of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 (7 U.S.C. 1621 note). Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act by Public Law 104–127, April 4, 1996. These grants are made available to nonprofit corporations and institutions of higher education to fund the establishment and operation of centers for rural cooperative development. In 2006, the Rural Business Service began a separate solicitation for the Small Minority Producer grants. These grants provide assistance to small, minority producers through cooperatives and associations of cooperatives. The Budget does not propose funding for these programs. Instead, these activities will be part of a new economic development grant program designed to target small and emerging private businesses and cooperatives in rural areas with populations of 50,000 or less. The new Rural Business and Cooperative Grants program will award funding to grantees that meet or exceed minimum performance targets, and that agree to be tracked against those performance targets. Additional points will be awarded to communities that meet the minimum performance targets and have exceptional need as measured by socioeconomic indicators, established by the Secretary. The new program will improve upon the agency's current grant allocation and evaluation process. The Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas (ATTRA) program was first authorized by the Food Security Act of 1985. The program provides information and technical assistance to agricultural producers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly and lower production costs. The 2014 Budget requests $2.25 million for ATTRA.

Additionally, USDA provides Value-Added Marketing Grants for producers of agricultural commodities. These grants can be used for planning activities and for working capital for marketing value-added agricultural products. The Budget requests to fund the program at $15 million.

This grant program is authorized under section 313 of the Rural Electrification Act, as amended, and provides funds for the purpose of promoting rural economic development and job creation projects, including funding for project feasibility studies, start-up costs, incubator projects and other expenses for the purpose of fostering rural development.

Funding for this program is provided from the interest differential on Rural Utilities Service borrowers' "cushion of credit" accounts. The Budget proposes a cancellation of $155 million from the "cushion of credit" account in 2014. The Budget proposes $10 million for rural economic development grants and $2.8 million for loan subsidy. This subsidy maintains the 2013 loan level at $33.077 million.

For the cost of loans, [$3,356,000]$1,405,000, under the same terms and conditions as authorized by section 379E of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 2008s): Provided, That such costs of loans, including the cost of modifying such loans, shall be as defined by section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175).

This account funds direct and guaranteed business and industry loans, rural business enterprise grants, and rural business opportunity grants. Business and industry guaranteed and direct loans are authorized under section 310B(a)(1) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development, as amended. These loans are made to public, private or cooperative organizations, Indian tribes or tribal groups, corporate entities, or individuals for the purpose of improving the economic climate in rural areas. For direct loans, no funds have been requested or provided since 2002, and no funds are requested in the Budget. The 2014 projections for loan guarantees are $740.7 million. The Budget does not propose funding for rural business enterprise grants and rural business opportunity grants. Instead, these activities will be part of a new economic development grant program designed to target small and emerging private businesses and cooperatives in rural areas with populations of 50,000 or less. The new Rural Business and Cooperative Grants program will award funding to grantees that meet or exceed minimum performance targets, and that agree to be tracked against those performance targets. Additional points will be awarded to communities that meet the minimum performance targets and have exceptional need as measured by socioeconomic indicators, established by the Secretary. The new program will improve upon the agency's current grant allocation and evaluation process.

This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who, in turn, re-lend the funds to small rural businesses, community development corporations, and other organizations for the purpose of improving economic opportunities in rural areas. Through the use of local intermediaries, this program serves small-scale enterprises and gives preference to those communities with the greatest need. The 2014 Budget proposes $4.1 million in budget authority to support this program.

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

Rural economic development loans are made for the purpose of promoting rural economic development and job creation projects. Loans are made to electric and telecommunication borrowers, who, in turn, finance rural development projects in their service areas. Program costs are derived from interest earnings on borrowers' "cushion of credit'' loan prepayments. The 2014 Budget proposes a loan level of $33 million for this program.

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

High energy costs 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 2014 for these grants.

This account funds the direct and guaranteed water and waste disposal loans, water and waste disposal grants, emergency community water assistance grants, and solid waste management grants.

Water and waste disposal loans are authorized under 7 U.S.C. 1926. The program provides direct loans to municipalities, counties, special purpose districts, certain Indian Tribes, and non-profit corporations to develop water and waste disposal systems in rural areas and towns with populations of less than 10,000. The program also guarantees water and waste disposal loans made by banks and other eligible lenders. In 2014 the projected loan level is $1.2 billion for direct loans. No guaranteed loans are proposed for 2014 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. The grants can be used to finance development, storage, treatment, purification, or distribution of water or the collection, treatment, or disposal of waste in rural areas and cities or towns with populations of less than 10,000. The amount of any development grant may not exceed 75 percent of the eligible development cost of the project. In 2014, $300 million is requested for this program.

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 2014 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. In 2014 $4 million is requested for this program.

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 rural telecommunications loan program provides funding for construction, expansion, and operation of telecommunications lines and facilities or systems. The Budget requests $690 million in 2014 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 $4 billion, of which, up to $1 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.

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) continues 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.

Rural electric._This program is financed through RUS direct loans for the construction and operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems.
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. Since 1992 new electric and telephone loans have been made through a separate program account.

The Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) completed dissolution in 2006, therefore no federally funded RTB loans are proposed.

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

The loan and grant program provides access to advanced telecommunications services for improved education and health care in rural areas throughout the country. The loans and grants help education and health care providers bring the most modern technology, level of care, and education to rural America so its citizens can compete regionally, nationally, and globally.

Since there is little demand for the Distance Learning, Telemedicine (DLT) loans, the Budget proposes no funding for DLT loans in 2014 while requesting $24.95 million for DLT grants. The request for Broadband grants is $10.4 million and the Broadband loan request is $8.3 million.

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.

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 2014 Budget includes $178.8 million for FAS, an increase of $1.4 million over the 2013 annualized Continuing Resolution 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.

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; and the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. These programs feature a mix of monetization, direct distribution, and local food aid commodity procurement to meet the specific needs of recipient countries. All funding for PL 480 Title II food aid is being replaced with funding through three other accounts managed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

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. Title II of Public Law 112–40, the Trade Adjustment Assistance Extension Act of 2011, extended the authority for the program and authorized appropriations of $90 million for 2012 and 2013, and $22.5 million for the period October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. The 2014 Budget does not request funding for the program.

Multiple food aid programs are appropriated to USDA and administered by USDA or the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to provide U.S. commodities, technical and financial assistance to address hunger and malnutrition needs worldwide. These programs address emergency needs and foster economic development activities to alleviate global food insecurity.

Included in this category are the following activities carried out under 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 2014 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 2014..
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)._To ensure the U.S. can respond most effectively to humanitarian crises and chronic food insecurity within current budget constraints, while reaching more people in need, the FY 2014 Budget shifts funding previously requested in P.L. 480 Title II, which is administered by USAID, to three other assistance accounts: International Disaster Assistance for emergency food response; Development Assistance to support the Community Development and Resilience Fund (CDRF) to address chronic food insecurity in areas of recurrent crises; and a new Emergency Food Assistance Contingency Fund. USAID's Office of Food for Peace will continue to manage these resources. (See the account narrative for additional information.) For any residual Title II funds, including carryover, recoveries, and offsetting collections, 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.

For 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] $185,126,000, 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. Note.—A full-year 2013 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2013 (P.L. 112–175). The amounts included for 2013 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

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 2014 Budget includes $185 million, which maintains the 2013 annualized level.

The Budget shifts P.L. 480 Title II food aid funding to three other accounts managed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as part of the Food Aid Reform described below. USAID's Office of Food for Peace (FFP) will continue to manage related emergency food and development assistance resources.

Food Aid Reform: The FY 2014 Food Aid Reform will ensure that the U.S. Government can respond most effectively to humanitarian crises and chronic food insecurity within current budget constraints, while reaching more people in need. It includes a shift of funding previously requested in P.L. 480 Title II to three other assistance accounts: International Disaster Assistance (IDA) for emergency food response; Development Assistance (DA) for the Community Development and Resilience Fund (CDRF) to address chronic food insecurity in areas of recurrent crises; and a new Emergency Food Assistance Contingency Fund. The CRDF will be composed of $330 million, replacing Title II non-emergency resources, including $80 million in DA from the Bureau for Food Security resources and $250 million in additional DA, to be implemented by NGOs that have received Title II funding. These jointly-funded CDRF programs will be managed by FFP and are a critical component of Feed the Future, strengthening the ability to address chronic poverty, build resilience, and help prevent food crises. The goal is to make food aid more timely and cost-effective and to improve program efficiencies and performance by shifting resources to programs that will allow the use of the right tool at the right time for responding to emergencies and chronic food insecurity. The range of tools and programs include interventions such as local and regional purchase, purchase of U.S. agricultural commodities and products, cash vouchers and transfers, and cash for work programs. Provided that the proposed food aid reforms are enacted and all the funding previously requested in P.L. 480 Title II is appropriated as described above, at least fifty-five percent of the requested (and appropriated) IDA funding of $1,416 million for emergency food assistance programs administered by FFP will be used for the purchase and transport of agricultural commodities produced in the United States. The reform will facilitate robust emergency and development programming. (The Budget also shifts $25 million of the efficiency savings to the Department of Transportations Maritime Administration for additional targeted operating subsidies for militarily-useful vessels and incentives to facilitate the retention of mariners.)

The Child Nutrition Programs provide reimbursement to State agencies for cash and commodity meal subsidies through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Special Milk Program, Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). These programs provide nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free breakfasts and lunches to children every school day; provide nutrition assistance to children when school is not in session during summer months; and improve the quality of day care, making it more affordable for low-income families by providing reimbursement for nutritious meals and snacks. In addition, the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable program (FFVP), targeted to low-income elementary schools, provides fresh fruits and vegetables at no charge to children during the school day. The 2014 Budget will support almost 5.6 billion lunches and snacks served to 32.1 million children in the NSLP, over 2.4 billion breakfasts served to 14.0 million children in the SBP, and over 2.0 billion meals and snacks served in day care facilities.

The 2014 Budget requests $328,783,000 for Capital Improvement and Maintenance, a decrease of $67,718,000 below the 2013 annualized CR level. Funding provides for capital improvement and maintenance of Forest Service assets including facilities, roads, and trails. Addressing critical maintenance and operational components of the Forest Service demonstrates our commitment to maintaining a healthy environment. The program emphasizes an efficient and effective infrastructure that supports public and administrative uses and quality recreation experiences with minimal impact to ecosystem stability and conditions.

Capital improvement of facilities, roads, and trails includes alteration of existing assets to change the function of the assets, or expansion of an asset to change the capacity or to serve needs that are different from what was originally intended . The Budget shifts activities previously conducted under the Legacy Roads and Trails program, such as road decommissioning, to the Integrated Resource Restoration program under the National Forest System appropriation.

Facilities._Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of recreation developed sites, fire, administrative, and other facilities, including visitor centers, research facilities, telecommunication sites and towers, and dams. The program also includes the acquisition of buildings and other facilities necessary to carry out the mission of the Forest Service.

Roads._Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of the national forest road system, including bridges and terminal facilities such as parking lots, trailhead parking, camping spurs, and truck turnarounds. The agency continues to address the growing road system maintenance backlog. Funding priorities are health and safety and resource protection, including clean water, aquatic passage, and mission critical needs.

Trails._Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of National Forest System trails. Funding is used to protect capital investments by keeping trails open for access and protecting vegetation, soil, and water quality. Work includes clearing the pathway of encroaching vegetation and fallen trees, and repairing or improving trail signs, treadways, drainage facilities, and bridges.

Infrastructure Improvement._Provides for capital improvement and maintenance directed toward reducing the backlog in deferred maintenance on National Forest System roads and trails, as well as recreation developed sites and fire, administrative, and other facilities. Funding priorities are to ensure the safety of the public, agency employees, volunteers and contractors.

The 2014 Budget requests $310,236,000 for Forest and Rangeland Research (Forest Service R&D), an increase of $13,129,000 above the 2013 annualized CR 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 that sustain jobs and provide economic benefits. 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.

The 2014 Budget requests $1,556,662,000 for the National Forest System (NFS), an decrease of 6,987,000 below the 2013 annualized continuing resolution (CR) 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 Program (CFLRP), which fosters collaborative, science-based restoration on priority forest landscapes across the Nation. The CFLRP 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 CFLRP is to collaboratively achieve improved forest benefits for people, water, and wildlife in a way that can be shared across broad landscapes.

The Budget proposes to fund Restoration Partnerships at $10,029,000. This new program will develop public-private partnerships intended to reduce risk to fire-prone communities. Projects will protect and enhance water quality in municipal watersheds and maintain and restore resilience to aquatic ecosystems through the agency's Watershed Condition Framework (WCF). National forests that largely comprise a municipal watershed area, forests with special use utility permits, and priority partnership actions within the WCF will be eligible for restoration partnership funding. This program will support Restoration Partnership projects reducing fire risk through hazardous fuels reduction, forest thinning, and similar vegetative activities to protect and enhance water quality and reduce risk to utility investments, while providing ancillary benefits for public recreation, trails, and fish and wildlife management.

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 accomplishments that naturally align other programs and partner organizations to achieve multiple goals.

The 2014 Budget requests $239,954,000 for State and Private Forestry (S&PF), a decrease of $14,520,000 below the 2013 annualized CR 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 Restoration._The 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. Evidence of these improved outcomes will be identified through improved data collection on project accomplishments by leveraging existing investments in streamlined spatial reporting tools. 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 today's 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.

Forest Health Management._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 Forestry._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 State Forest Action Plans.

Forest Stewardship Program._Provides professional forestry assistance to landowners to encourage sound environmental management of non-industrial private forest lands.

Forest Legacy Program._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 Conservation._Achieves community benefits through grants to local and Tribal governments and qualified nonprofit organizations to establish community forests by acquiring and protecting forestlands.

Urban and Community Forestry._Provides 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.

International Forestry._Provides funding for high priority investments in natural resource conservation issues, including invasive species, biodiversity conservation, migratory species, and advancing U.S. policy interests.

The 2014 Presidents Budget does not propose a separate funding level for Subsistence Management. This is a decrease of $2,589,000 from the 2013 Annualized CR. The Forest Service will continue to meet its responsibilities under the 1980 Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). The most critical subsistence management related components will be achieved through other NFS funds, such as Integrated Resource Restoration, Recreation Management, and Law Enforcement Operation funds that complement the objectives of the subsistence program.

The 2014 Budget requests $2,046,669,000 for Wildland Fire Management (WFM), an increase of $75,279,000 above the 2013 annualized CR 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.

Preparedness._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.

Suppression._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.

Fire Operations—Other._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. State and Volunteer Fire Assistance programs 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 and education programs. The request for Hazardous Fuels 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 NFS 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 2014, 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.

The 2014 Budget requests $1,922,000 for the Range Betterment Fund, a decrease of $1,355,000 below the 2013 annualized CR 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.

Stewardship Contracting._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.

The 2014 Budget requests $59,113,000 for the Land Acquisition accounts, an increase of $5,083,000 above the 2013 annualized CR 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 2014 Federal Land Acquisition program builds on efforts started in 2012 and 2013 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.

Land Acquisition._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.
Mandatory Land and Water Conservation Fund.—The Administration proposes to permanently authorize annual mandatory funding, without further appropriation or fiscal year limitation for Departments of Agriculture and the Interior Land and Water Conservation Fund programs beginning in fiscal year 2014.

Acquisition of Lands for National Forests, Special Acts._To 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 Exchanges._Deposits 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.

Land Facilities Enhancement Fund._This fund includes the Conveyance of Administrative Sites Program and the Sites Specific Lands Acts Program. These programs enable specific national forests to convey land or facilities and use the proceeds to acquire, construct, or improve land and facilities within the same national forest or State. They also provide for the realignment of the agency's facility portfolio by providing an incentive for local managers to liquidate obsolete or underutilized assets and reinvest in assets that best support the agency's mission (U.S.C. 590d note).

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

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

Recreation Fees, Forest Service (also referred to as the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Fund)._The 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.

Organizational Camps._The National Forest Organizational Camp Fee Improvement Act of 2003 permits the collection of land use fees from organizational camps located on national forests. (16 U.S.C. 6231 et seq.) (P.L. 108–7).

Administration of Rights-of-Way Reimbursable Program (Cost Recovery Lands Major Projects)._See description of Administration of Rights-of-Way above. (31 U.S.C. 9701; 43 U.S.C. 1764(g); 30 U.S.C. 815(1); P.L. 82137; P.L. 66146; P.L. 94579; 113 Stat. 1501A-196197 as amended by 118 Stat. 3105; 119 Stat. 555 and P.L. 110161; 16 U.S.C. 46016d; 117 Stat. 294297).

Payments to States._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 amended and reauthorized the SRS Act (P.L. 106–393) through 2011, and P.L. 112–141 reauthorized the program through 2012. The SRS Act, as amended, retains the original title. The amended SRS Act was similar to P.L. 106–393, although it is structured to phase out payments. The amended Act is no longer authorized at the end of 2012 with the last payment being issued in 2013.
If the SRS Act is not reauthorized, States will revert to the Payments to States Act of 1908, as amended (16 U.S.C. 500). This Act requires with a few exceptions, that 25 percent of all monies received from the national forests and deposited into the National Forest Fund during a fiscal year from timber, grazing, special-use permits, power and mineral leases, and admission and user fees be paid to the States in which the national forests are located, for public schools and public roads in the county or counties in which the national forests are situated.
The Budget reflects a five-year reauthorization, starting in 2013, 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 2014 payment is proposed to be $278 million.

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

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

Roads and Trails (10 Percent) Fund._Under 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 , 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. (16 U.S.C. 501). Refer to the Capital Improvement and Maintenance appropriation for details of activities funded for roads and trails. Since 2008, Congress directed that funds becoming available under the Act of March 4, 1913, be transferred to Treasury.

Licensee Program._Funds from fees for the use of characters by private enterprises are collected under regulations promulgated by the Secretary. Funds collected and used annually are less than $1 million. The licensee program includes the following:

Smokey Bear._For furthering the nationwide forest fire prevention campaign (16 U.S.C. 580p(2)).

Woodsy Owl._For promoting wise use of the environment and programs which foster maintenance and improvement of environmental quality (16 U.S.C. 580p(1)).

Quinault Special Management Area._The Act of November 8, 1988 assigns responsibility to the Forest Service for managing the natural resources and distributing proceeds from the sale of forest products in the Quinault Special Management Area of the Olympic National Forest. Receipts from use of this land are divided between the State of Washington (45 percent), the Quinault Tribe (45 percent) and the Quinault Special Management Area fund (10 percent) for use by the Olympic National Forester to administer future timber sales. Funds collected and used annually are less than $1 million (P.L 100–638) (102 Stat. 3327).

Hardwood Technology Transfer and Applied Research Fund._The Hardwood Technology Transfer and Applied Research fund allows for funds to be collected from leasing the Wood Education and Research Center (WERC) wood shop and rough mill under a special use permit. These funds are available for the management and operation of the WERC and the payment of salaries and expenses. Funds collected and used annually are less than $1 million (P.L. 106–113, div. B, 1000(a)(3) [Title III, 332], Nov. 29, 1999, 113 Stat. 1535, 1501A197).

The Working Capital Fund is a self-sustaining revolving fund that provides services to national forests, to research experiment stations, to other Federal agencies when necessary, to State and private agencies as provided by law, and to persons who cooperate with the Forest Service in fire control and other authorized programs. Forestry-related supply and support services include:

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

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

Supply Services._The fund operates the following common services, and provides for cost-recovery of Working Capital Fund Program Management: photo reproduction laboratories that store, reproduce, and supply aerial photographs, aerial maps, and other photographs of national forest lands. Photographic reproductions are sold to national forests, 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.

Nurseries._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. Tree seedlings are sold to national forests, State foresters, and other cooperators at cost.
