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 Office (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 2015 Budget requests $45 million.

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Department must 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 the Department's agencies may be reimbursed for their cleanup efforts. The Department determines what projects to fund by using objective criteria to identify what sites pose the greatest threats to public health and the environment. The 2015 Budget requests $3.6 million.

This account finances the operations, repair, improvement and maintenance activities of two headquarters buildings in Washington, DC and the George Washington Carver Center in Beltsville, MD. The 2015 budget proposes decentralization of rent and Department of Homeland Security payments to the USDA agencies, and proposes transferring those funds to the agencies for direct payment to GSA and DHS. Funding for rental payments to GSA by the Forest Service was not included in this proposal, as the Forest Service is funded in the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The 2015 Budget requests $65 million for operations and maintenance.

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 2015 budget request of $83,446,000 continues to fund ERS' core program of research, data analysis, and market outlook, and in addition, augments the 2014 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. Additional funding also will be provided for the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS). Through the initiative's support, ERS will expand internal expertise, support collaboration with USDA program agencies, and form partnerships with extramural researchers to: (1) fund experiments that incorporate concepts from behavioral economics, identifying high (and low) performing options without the costs associated with new program implementation; and (2) create and evaluate unique merged administrative data systems by linking multiple sources, assessing statistical properties, and analyzing the merged data for policy-relevant research.

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. 2204 g(d)(f)).

In 2013, NASS completed its restructuring to 12 Regional offices serving all 50 States. NASS deployed a multifaceted transformation over the past five years that focused on making the agency more nimble to respond to data needs in support of American agriculture. NASS is now more centralized with standardized processes on applications and a business model focused on providing relevant solutions.

Agricultural Estimates.—The Agricultural Estimates program is vital 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 12 Regional offices serving all 50 States. 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 existng programs to determine which programs are most critical to serving agency goals, with evaluations based on the following prioritites: 1) Federal 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 2013, NASS achieved several accomplishments: 1) increased the number of livestock commodity reports that have a corresponding data quality measure and methodology reports; 2) collaborated with the Economic Research Service (ERS) to issue Broiler Highlights from the 2012 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) of the U.S. broiler industry; 3) examined model-based estimation techniques to improve the statistical reliability of published forecasts and provide accurate error measures; 4) explored methods to identify operations for which it is most unlikely to obtain responses in future surveys during data collection; and 5) completed the fourth 48 state Cropland Data Layer (CDL) in 2013 for the 2012 crop year as well as going back to the 2008 crop year and creating a fifth CDL.

Census of Agriculture.—The Census of Agriculture provides the only source of comparable and consistent detailed data about agriculture and helps to measure trends and new development in the agricultural sector of our Nation's economy. The Census 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. In 2013, NASS achieved several accomplishments: 1) completed all data collection for the 2012 Census of Agriculture; 2) significantly increased the number of responses via Internet reporting, using improved user-friendly questionnaires and by highlighting the NASS public messaging that electronic reporting is quicker, easier, secure, and leads to less mail correspondent burden; 3) revised the process of implementing improved weighting methodology for the Census of Agriculture; 4) completed content and design forms for the Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey; and 5) completed content and design forms for the Census of Aquaculture.

The 2015 total request is $178,999,000 for NASS. In 2015, funding for Agricultural Estimates will increase to $130,955,000 to conduct 1) the essential Federal Principal Economic Indicator surveys; 2) fruit and vegetable in-season forecasts for fruits and nuts reinstated at the 2010 level; 3) chemical use rotation reinstated to the 2010 level; 4) expanded Geospatial Research to: 4a) enhance the current satellite based agriculture statistics monitoring, 4b) extend current monitoring capabilities of CropScape and VegScape and provide new information that supports them, and 4c) enhance the evaluation of climate change at the local level on crop production; and 5) two new Bee Studies: 5a) a quarterly survey on Bee and Honey Production with additional questions to assess colony loss, and 5b) an annual survey on Pollination Service Costs to gain more data in an effort to examine Colony Collapse Disorder. NASS continues to review its programs to improve efficiency and as a result of moving forward with the geospatial program and the Bee Studies. Moving into the future with the expanded Geospatial research serves a dual purpose of capacity building for a new geospatial intelligence, enabling more accurate, detailed data; and systematic greenhouse gas modeling, monitoring, and assessment from the national to the local scale. Additionally, to better understand and mitigate the potentially disastrous Colony Collapse Disorder it is vital to obtain more data to study and understand what can be done to change the current status.

The 2015 NASS request includes $48,044,000 for the Census of Agriculture. NASS will 1) continue planning and begin preparations for the 2017 Census of Agriculture; 2) continue producing the Current Agricultural Industrial Reports (CAIRs) including: 2a) Fats and Oils: Production, Consumption, and Stocks, 2b) Fats and Oils: Oilseed Crushings, 2c) Consumption on the Cotton System and Stocks, and 2d) Flour Milling Products; 3) conduct the quinquennial COA special study Census of Horticulture; and 4) conduct the Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of Land (TOTAL) survey which has been a Follow-on to the Census of Agriculture every 10 years up to the 1999 program. Data from this new TOTAL survey will inform policy decisions for USDA programs linked to farm land ownership and rental arrangements, inform research on generational transitions in agriculture, and provide updated parameters for the National Accounts that ERS provides to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (Department of Commerce).

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 2015 Salaries and Expenses budget for ARS requests $1.104 million which includes increases for new and expanded research initiatives in environmental stewardship; livestock/crop breeding and protection; food safety; child and human nutrition; pollinator health; and the National Agricultural Library. ARS will finance these new and expanded initiatives almost entirely through the redirection of existing lines of research. The proposed reductions will provide necessary funding for the critical research priorities proposed by the agency for 2015.

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.—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 identification of: 1) 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 for 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._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 a national library by Congress in 1962, 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 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 food security; water for agriculture; climate variability and change; sustainable bioenergy production; food safety; childhood obesity prevention; foundational science; and food, agriculture, natural resources and human sciences education and literacy initiative. 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 2015 Budget proposes to increase funding for AFRI from $316 million to $325 million, a 3 percent increase in this program from the 2014 enacted level.

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 2015 Budget is funded at $243.7 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 2015 Budget is funded at $34.0 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 2015 Budget is funded at $52.5 million.

Special research grants._This program addresses research areas of national interest. The 2015 Budget includes $22.7 million for sustainable agriculture. Funding is continued 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 products. Funding for agroclimatology (global change) is proposed at $1.4 million for research at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative. The 2015 Budget also includes funding for aquaculture centers at $4.0 million. The 2015 Budget includes $2.5 million for food and agriculture resiliency program for military veterans to support the post September 11 veteran population in the food and agriculture sector. The 2015 Budget also includes $75 million to support public-private partnerships for Innovation Institutes that focus on emerging challenges to agriculture.

1994 Institutions Research._The 2015 Budget maintains funding at $1.8 million for the competitive research grants program to build research capacity at the legislatively eligible 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 2015 Budget includes $21.5 million, which is $7.4 million over the 2014 enacted level. Most of the increase will support the Grants Management System and rent expenses (rental expenses are funded centrally by USDA in FY 2014).

Higher education._The 2015 Budget funding is proposed for Hispanic-serving institutions education grants program at $9.2 million. Funding is also proposed for Native American institutions at $3.4 million, Alaska Native-serving and Native Hawaiian-serving Institutions at $3.2 million, and Grants for Insular Areas programs at $1.8 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 2015 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 2015 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 2015 Budget includes $11.9 million, for an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions (the legislatively eligible 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 2015 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 3,144 counties and county equivalents. 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 2015 Budget proposes Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) programs to be funded at $300.0 million.

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 $43.9 million in the 2015 Budget 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 2015 Budget includes $85.7 million for these programs. Other Extension programs supported in the 2015 Budget include Extension Services at 1994 Institutions at $4.4 million, Renewable Resources Extension Act at $4.1 million, and 1890 Facilities Grants at $19.7 million. The 2015 Budget also includes $2.5 million for the Food Safety Outreach Program to provide food safety standards and guidance in a variety of agricultural production systems.

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 2015 Budget proposes $8.6 million in funding.

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. In 2015, mandatory funding for the program is $20 million.

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 U.S. agricultural and other animal and plant resources that are vulnerable to pests, diseases, predation, natural disasters, or inhumane treatment. APHIS performs this important work using three major areas of activity, as follows:

Safeguarding and Emergency Preparedness/Response._APHIS monitors animal and plant 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, Tribal and industry partners to conduct animal and plant 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, Tribes, 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, Tribes, and other programs to implement 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 presence of foreign and exotic pests and diseases and work with partners to determine an appropriate course of action, including 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 allow the benefits of genetic research to safely enter the marketplace, while protecting against the release of potentially harmful organisms into the environment. APHIS 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 animal and plant protection programs of the Agency and its cooperators at the State, Tribal, 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 animal and plant 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 they are 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' 2015 budget request of $834 million is a reduction of about $8 million from the 2014 enacted level. The budget request includes the necessary funding to continue implementation of the refocused Animal Disease Traceability program that will allow us to detect animal disease quicker, minimize disease spread, and assist in keeping global trade markets open to U.S. animals and animal products. The Agency proposes increases to support these efforts, while proposing reductions in other areas. The 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 known risks related to avian health issues. APHIS also requests a reduction of $4 million for the National Clean Plant Network, as the Agricultural Act of 2014 provides funding to support this effort. The Agency requests other reductions for plant health programs to achieve a more equitable Federal cost-share rate for those programs. The total for APHIS also includes 42.6 million for rental payments to the General Services Administration that is funded centrally by USDA in FY 2014.

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 2015 Budget proposes $1,001.4 million for inspection of meat, poultry and egg products, which is a $9.3 million decrease from the 2014 Enacted level. 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.

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 2015 Budget requests $44 million, an increase of $3.76 million above the 2014 enacted 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 53 official private and state agencies: 41 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 2015 Budget requests $82,963,000 for Marketing Services, approximately $3 million above the 2014 enacted 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 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; c) suspension or revocation of license and/or publication of the facts; or d) monetary penalty in lieu of license suspension or revocation.

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 the crop insurance program as authorized under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) . This account includes resources to maintain ongoing operations of the Federal crop insurance program and other functions assigned to RMA such as risk management education. The 2015 Budget requests $76.779 million, of which $2.265 million will be utilized for additional compliance and other activities related to the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act (IPERA).

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.). FCIC is administered by the Risk Management Agency (RMA), and provides economic stability to agriculture through crop insurance. The Federal crop insurance program includes products providing crop yield and revenue insurance, pasture, rangeland forage, and livestock insurance, as well as other educational and risk mitigation initiatives/tools. The Federal crop insurance program provides farmers with a risk management program that protects against agricultural production losses due to unavoidable causes such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, wind, lightning, and insects. In addition to these causes, revenue insurance programs are available to protect against loss of revenue. Federal crop insurance is provided through private insurance companies that market and service policies. Federal crop insurance is available for more than 350 different commodities in over 3,066 counties covering all 50 states, and Puerto Rico. For the 2013 Crop Year, there were 1.2 million policies written with over $11 billion in premiums.

The 2015 Budget requests funding to support $12.5 billion in obligations, a decrease of over $2 billion from the 2014 estimated obligations of $14.5 billion. For the Budget, 2015 funding level estimates and out are based on a 1.0 loss ratio, which is the statutory target loss ratio used for estimating future crop insurance costs.

The minimum level of coverage is Catastrophic (CAT) crop insurance, 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 CAT 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 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, 2013. Crop Year is generally all activity for crops from July 1-June 30 of a given year. For the 2013 Crop Year the data includes actuals through mid-February of 2014.

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 2014 and 2015 . The 2014 figures on the table represent actuals through mid-February 2014.

As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility the 2015 Budget includes five proposals:

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' return should be around 12 percent, but it is currently expected to be 14 percent. The Administration is proposing to lower the crop insurance companies' return on retained premium to meet the 12 percent target. This proposal is expected to save about $1.2 billion over 10 years.

2. Reduce the reimbursement rate of administrative and operating expenses. The current cap on administrative expenses to be paid to participating crop insurance companies is based on the 2010 premiums, which were among the highest ever. A more appropriate level for the cap would be based on 2006 premiums, neutralizing the spike in commodity prices over the last four years, but not harming the delivery system. The Administration, therefore, proposes setting the cap at $0.9 billion adjusted annually for inflation. This proposal is expected to save about $2.9 billion over 10 years.

3. Lower the subsidy paid for producer premium by 3 percentage points for policies where the Government subsidizes more than 50 percent of the premium. Producers with policies whose premium subsidies are 50 percent or less would not be affected by this change. Currently the government subsidizes buy-up coverage at 60 percent on average. That level of a subsidy is no longer needed to boost or sustain participation. Participation has increased substantially in recent years and farmers have, by now, incorporated crop insurance into their business model. With that level of participation, the reduced premium levels will still provide a level of subsidy sufficient to incentivize participation, and the safety net will remain intact. This proposal is expected to save about $3.8 billion over 10 years.

4. Reduce premium subsidy by 4 percentage points for revenue coverage that provides protection for upward price movements at harvest time. Producers will be able to continue to purchase affordable revenue coverage for potential upward price changes that may occur at time of harvest. This type of revenue coverage is the most expensive and provides producers with coverage that can fluctuate depending on price movement at time of harvest. The ability to have increased harvest price coverage seamlessly integrated into a crop insurance policy presents a convenience that approximates certain revenue protection available through private sector markets, and this proposal would shift more of the cost of this enhanced coverage from the taxpayer to the insured party, while still maintaining the availability and integrity of the policy. This proposal is expected to save about $6.3 billion over 10 years.

5. Rescind the authority for the funding of a pilot program for Wild Salmon (Section 523(a) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act) saving $10 million over 10 years.

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) was established October 3, 1994, pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, P.L. 103–354. The Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 was amended on April 4, 1996, by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act), P.L. 104–127. The FSA administers a variety of activities, such as farm income support programs through various loans and payments; the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); the Emergency Conservation Program; the Hazardous Waste Management Program; the Commodity Operation Programs including the warehouse examination function; farm ownership, farm operating, emergency disaster, and other loan programs; and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), which provides crop loss protection for growers of many crops for which crop insurance is not available. FSA also assists in the administration of several conservation cost-share programs financed by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), including the Grasslands Reserve Program (GRP). In addition, FSA currently provides certain administrative support services to the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and to the Risk Management Agency (RMA). The authority for most FSA programs is continued in the 2014 Farm Bill, the Agricultural Act of 2014.

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 2015 Budget decreases the direct appropriation by $38.6 million and decreases the transfers by $0.2 million, providing about $1.4 billion in total .

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 price loss coverage and agricultural risk coverage 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. Funding for farm loan administrative expenses is transferred to this consolidated account from the ACIF. Appropriations representing subsidy amounts necessary to support the individual program loan levels under Federal Credit Reform are made to the ACIF account.

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

This grant program is authorized by Title V of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, P.L. 100–233, as amended. Originally designed to address agricultural credit disputes, the program was expanded by the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (P.L. 103–354) to include other agricultural issues such as wetland determinations, conservation compliance, rural water loan programs, grazing on National Forest System lands, and pesticide use. Grants are made to States whose agricultural mediation programs have been certified by the Farm Service Agency. A grant will not exceed 80 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 30, 2015. The 2015 Budget requests $3.4 million for the program.

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.

The USDA Supplemental Assistance Program includes the Reimbursement Transportation Cost Payment Program for the Geographically Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers (RTCP) program. The Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, continues the authority for this program, which provides payments intended to offset a portion of the higher costs of transporting agricultural inputs and commodities over long distances. RTCP assists farmers and ranchers in Alaska, Hawaii and insular areas including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Virgin Islands of the United States, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands and Republic of Palau. Discretionary funds in the amount of $1,996,000 were appropriated in FY 2014 for this program, but no funding is requested in the 2015 Budget.

In 2014, $600,000 was appropriated by P.L. 113–76, the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014. The Reforestation Pilot 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 2015 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 2013, 36 States participated in ECP, with new or continued activity from the previous year, involving approximately $41.1 million in cost-share and technical assistance funds outlays. In FY 2013, $15 million of ECP supplemental funding for Super Storm Sandy was provided by P.L. 113–2, the Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013. An additional $11.1 million of ECP funding was provided by P.L. 113–6, the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2013, involving an estimated 2.1 million acres. The 2015 Budget does not propose funding for this program.

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 Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, continues the authority for this program. The 2014 enacted level provides $5.5 million for GSWPP, and the 2015 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 which is proposed at $2.5 million in the 2015 Budget. 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 estimated level is $90 million for loan subsidies, and the 2015 Budget requests $81.2 million for loan subsidies and grants, which is a decrease of $8.8 million. However, the 2015 Budget requests a loan level increase of $874.8 million over 2014 loan levels. Almost all of the increase is due to the demand in direct ownership loan category and to invest in new and beginning farmers.

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 2014 estimated level provides $314.7 million, and the 2015 Budget requests $314.9 million, which is an increase of $.2 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 2013, $1,648,000 was paid to producers who filed claims under the program and the 2015 Budget requests such sums as may be necessary, which are estimated to be $500,000 for this program.

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

The Corporation's capital stock of $100 million is held by the U.S. Treasury. Under present law, up to $30 billion may be borrowed from the U.S. Treasury to finance operations. Current, indefinite appropriation authority is requested to cover all net realized losses. Appropriations to the Corporation for net realized losses have no effect on budget authority, as they are used to repay debt directly with the Treasury.

The Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill), P.L. 113–79, was signed by the President on February 7, 2014. The Act repeals certain programs, continues some programs with modifications, and authorizes several new programs. Most of these programs are authorized and funded through 2018.

There was not sufficient time for USDA to do a thorough, program by program analysis of all the changes in the Agricultural Act of 2014 enacted in February. Therefore, the budget is submitted using previous assumptions but adjusted at a macro level for farm bill changes to commodity programs. Changes to conservation and foreign assistance programs have been incorporated into their respective areas. The budget assumptions will be updated for the 2015 Mid-session Review with greater analysis of the effects of the Farm Bill on individual commodities.

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.

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, Counter-Cyclical and Average Crop Revenue (ACRE) Payments.—The 2014 Farm Bill repeals Direct Payments, Counter-Cyclical Payments and Average Crop Revenue Election Payments and establishes two new programs, Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC).

Price Loss Coverage (PLC).—Payments are issued when the effective price of a covered commodity is less than the respective reference price for that commodity established in the statute. The payment is equal to 85 percent of the base acres of the covered commodity times the difference between the reference price and the effective price times the program payment yield for the covered commodity.

Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC).—There are two types: County ARC and Individual ARC.

County ARC: Payments are issued when the actual county crop revenue of a covered commodity is less than the ARC county guarantee for the covered commodity and are based on county data, not farm data. The ARC county guarantee equals 86 percent of the previous 5-year average national farm price, excluding the years with the highest and lowest price (the ARC guarantee price), times the 5-year average county yield, excluding the years with the highest and lowest yield (the ARC county guarantee yield). Both the guarantee and actual revenue are computed using base acres, not planted acres. The payment is equal to 85 percent of the base acres of the covered commodity times the difference between the county guarantee and the actual county crop revenue for the covered commodity. Payments may not exceed 10 percent of the benchmark county revenue (the ARC guarantee price times the ARC county guarantee yield).

Individual ARC: Payments are issued when the actual individual crop revenues, summed across all covered commodities on the farm, are less than ARC individual guarantees summed across those covered commodities on the farm. The farm for individual ARC purposes is the sum of the producer's interest in all ARC farms in the State. The farm's ARC individual guarantee equals 86 percent of the farm's individual benchmark guarantee, which is defined as the ARC guarantee price times the 5-year average individual yield, excluding the years with the highest and lowest yields, and summing across all crops on the farm. The actual revenue is computed in a similar fashion, with both the guarantee and actual revenue computed using planted acreage on the farm. The individual ARC payment equals: (a) 65 percent of the sum of the base acres of all covered commodities on the farm, times (b) the difference between the individual guarantee revenue and the actual individual crop revenue across all covered commodities planted on the farm. Payments may not exceed 10 percent of the individual benchmark revenue.

Base Reallocation and Yield Updates.—Owners of farms that participate in PLC or ARC programs for the 2014–2018 crops have a one-time opportunity to: (1) maintain the farm's 2013 bases through 2018; or (2) reallocate base acres (excluding cotton bases). Covered commodities include wheat, oats, barley, corn, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, sunflower seed, rapeseed, canola, safflower, flaxseed, mustard seed, crambe and sesame seed, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, and large chickpeas. Upland cotton is no longer considered a covered commodity, but the upland cotton base acres on the farm are renamed "generic" base acres. Producers may receive payments on generic base acres if those acres are planted to a covered commodity.

A producer also has the opportunity to update the counter-cyclical payment yield for each covered commodity based on 90 percent of the farm's 2008–2012 average yield per planted acre, excluding any year when no acreage was planted to the covered commodity. Program payment yields are used to determine payment amounts for the Price Loss Coverage program.

Election Required.—All of the producers on a farm must make a one-time, unanimous election of: (1) PLC/County ARC on a covered-commodity-by-covered-commodity basis; or (2) Individual ARC for all covered commodities on the farm. If the producers on the farm elect PLC/County ARC, the producers must also make a one-time election to select which base acres on the farm are enrolled in PLC and which base acres are enrolled in County ARC. Alternatively, if Individual ARC is selected, then every covered commodity on the farm must participate in Individual ARC.

The election between ARC and PLC is made in 2014 and a producer cannot switch to ARC (from PLC), or vice versa, in subsequent years. If an election is not made in 2014, the farm may not participate in either PLC or ARC for the 2014 crop year and the producers on the farm are deemed to have elected PLC for subsequent crop years, but must still enroll their farm to receive coverage. If the sum of the base acres on a farm is 10 acres or less, the producer on that farm may not receive PLC or ARC payments, unless the producer is a socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher or is a limited resource farmer or rancher. Payments for PLC and ARC are issued after the end of the respective crop year, but not before October 1.

Producers enrolling in PLC, and who also participate in the Federal crop insurance program, may, beginning with the 2015 crop, make the annual choice whether to purchase additional crop insurance coverage called the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO). SCO provides the producer the option of covering a portion of his or her crop insurance deductible and is based on expected county yields or revenue. The cost of SCO is subsidized and indemnities are determined by the yield or revenue loss for the county or area. SCO is not available to producers who enroll in ARC.

Adjusted Gross Income.—Adjusted gross income (AGI) provisions have been simplified and modified. Producers whose average AGI exceeds $900,000 during a crop, fiscal, or program year are not eligible to participate in most programs administered by FSA and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Previous AGI provisions distinguished between on-farm and nonfarm AGI.

Payment Limitations.—The total amount of payments received, directly and indirectly, by a person or legal entity (except joint ventures or general partnerships) for Price Loss Coverage, Agricultural Risk Coverage, marketing loan gains, and loan deficiency payments (other than for peanuts), may not exceed $125,000 per crop year. A person or legal entity that receives payments for peanuts has a separate $125,000 payment limitation.

Cotton transition payments are limited to $40,000 per year. For the livestock disaster programs, a total $125,000 annual limitation applies for payments under the Livestock Indemnity Program, the Livestock Forage Program, and the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees and Farm-Raised Fish program. A separate $125,000 annual limitation applies to payments under the Tree Assistance Program.

Cotton Transition.—Upland cotton is the only "covered commodity" that is no longer eligible to participate in these programs, but rather, becomes eligible for the new Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX) offered by the Risk Management Agency (RMA). Until STAX becomes available, upland cotton is eligible for transition payments made by FSA for 2014 and 2015 crops.

For the 2014 crop year, transition payments are provided to cotton producers on farms that had cotton base acres in 2013. For the 2015 crop year, transition payments will only be offered in counties where STAX is unavailable. The transition payment is equal to 60 and 36.5 percent of the farm's 2013 cotton base acres for 2014 and 2015, respectively, times the farm's program payment yield times the transition rate provided in the statute.

Marketing Assistance Loans (MALs) and Sugar Loans.—The 2014 Farm Bill extends the authority for sugar loans for the 2014 through 2018 crop years and nonrecourse marketing assistance loans (MALs) and loan deficiency payment (LDPs) for the 2014–2018 crops of wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, extra-long staple cotton, long grain rice, medium grain rice, soybeans, other oilseeds (including sunflower seed, rapeseed, canola, safflower, flaxseed, mustard seed, crambe and sesame seed), dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, large chickpeas, graded and nongraded wool, mohair, honey, unshorn pelts and peanuts. Availability of loans for some commodities may be affected by appropriations language. Provisions are mostly unchanged from the 2008 farm bill, except marketing loan gains and loan deficiency payments are subject to payment limitations.

The 2014 Act extends the Milk Income Loss Contract Program (MILC) from October 1, 2013, through the earlier of the date on which the Secretary certifies that the Dairy Margin Protection Program is operational or September 1, 2014. Dairy producers who were enrolled in 2013 do not need to re-apply. MILC payments are issued when the Boston Class I milk price falls below $16.94 per hundredweight (cwt), as adjusted by a dairy feed ration formula.

The Dairy Margin Protection Program.—Replaces MILC and will be effective not later than September 1, 2014, through December 31, 2018. The margin protection program offers dairy producers: (1) catastrophic coverage, at no cost to the producer, other than an annual $100 administrative fee; and (2) various levels of buy-up coverage. Catastrophic coverage provides payments to participating producers when the national dairy production margin is less than $4.00 per hundredweight (cwt). The national dairy production margin is the difference between the all-milk price and average feed costs. Producers may purchase buy-up coverage that provides payments when margins are between $4.00 and $8.00 per cwt. To participate in buy-up coverage, a producer must pay a premium that varies with the level of protection the producer elects. In addition, the 2014 Act creates the Dairy Product Donation Program. This program is triggered in times of low operating margins for dairy producers, and requires USDA to purchase dairy products for donation to food banks and other feeding programs.

Dairy Indemnity Payment Program (DIPP).—The program provides payments to dairy producers when a public regulatory agency directs them to remove their raw milk from the commercial market because it has been contaminated by pesticides and other residues.

Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).—NAP has been expanded to include buy-up protection, similar to buy-up provisions offered under the federal crop insurance program. Producers may elect coverage for each individual crop between 50 and 65 percent, in 5 percent increments, at 100 percent of the average market price. Producers also pay a fixed premium equal to 5.25 percent of the liability. The waiver of service fees has been expanded from just limited resource farmers to also include beginning farmers and socially disadvantaged farmers. The premiums for buy-up coverage are reduced by 50 percent for those same farmers. NAP coverage is expanded to include crops grown expressly for the purpose of producing a feedstock for renewable biofuel, renewable electricity, or biobased products. NAP is also made available to producers that suffered a loss to a 2012 annual fruit crop grown on a bush or tree in a county declared a disaster by the Secretary due to a freeze or frost. Grazing land is not eligible for buy-up coverage.

Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP).—BCAP provides incentives to farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to establish, cultivate and harvest eligible biomass for heat, power, bio-based products, research and advanced biofuels. Crop producers and bioenergy facilities can team together to submit proposals to USDA for selection as a BCAP project area. BCAP has been extended through 2018 and is funded at $25 million per fiscal year.

Feedstock Flexibility Program (FFP).—FFP is continued through fiscal year 2018. Congress authorized the FFP in the 2008 Farm Bill, allowing for the purchase of sugar to be sold for the production of bioenergy in order to avoid forfeitures of sugar loan collateral under the Sugar Program.

Bio-Based Fuel Production.—Section 5(e) of the CCC Charter Act authorizes CCC to take action to increase the consumption of agricultural commodidites by "...aiding in the development of new and additional markets, marketing facilities, and uses for such commodities." Under this authority, CCC will make available up to $170 million to subsidize the production of bio-based jet fuel. Because there is no existing viable commerical source for the large-scale production of such fuel, CCC has entered into an agreement with the Department of Energy and the Navy to assist in the development of this product. The Defense Logistics Agency will award the contract at the end of FY 2014 or beginning of FY 2015. CCC expects to outlay $60 million for this purpose in 2015.

The following four disaster programs were authorized by the 2008 Farm Bill under the USDA Supplemental Disaster Assistance program. These programs were re-authorized under CCC and extended indefinitely (beyond the horizon of the 2014 Farm Bill). The programs are made retroactive to Oct. 1, 2011. Producers are no longer required to purchase crop insurance or NAP coverage to be eligible for these programs (the risk management purchase requirement) as mandated by the 2008 Farm Bill.

Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP).—LFP provides compensation to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses due to drought or fire on land that is native or improved pastureland with permanent vegetative cover or that is planted specifically for grazing. LFP payments for drought are equal to 60 percent of the monthly feed cost for up to 5 months, depending upon the severity of the drought. LFP payments for fire on federally managed rangeland are equal to 50 percent of the monthly feed cost for the number of days the producer is prohibited from grazing the managed rangeland, not to exceed 180 calendar days.

Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP).—LIP provides benefits to livestock producers for livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by adverse weather or by attacks by animals reintroduced into the wild by the Federal Government. LIP payments are equal to 75 percent of the average fair market value of the livestock.

Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish (ELAP).—ELAP provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish for losses due to disease (including cattle tick fever), adverse weather, or other conditions, such as blizzards and wildfires, not covered by LFP and LIP. Total payments are capped at $20 million in a fiscal year.

Tree Assistance Program (TAP).—TAP provides financial assistance to qualifying orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate eligible trees, bushes, and vines damaged by natural disasters.

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 2014 Farm Bill continues the authority for the MAP program with annual funding of $200 million for 2014–2018.

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. 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.

Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops and Emerging Markets.—Emerging Markets is extended through 2018. Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops is extended through 2018 with annual funding of $9 million 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 Trust's 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 2014 Farm Bill extends the authorization to replenish the BEHT through 2018.

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).—The 2014 Farm Bill extends the authorization of CRP with modifications. The acreage cap is gradually lowered to 24 million acres for fiscal years 2017 and 2018. The requirement to reduce rental payments under emergency haying and grazing is eliminated. Rental payment reductions of not less than 25 percent are required for managed haying and grazing. Producers are also given the opportunity for an "early-out" from their CRP contracts, but only in fiscal year 2015. The rental payment portion of the Grassland Reserve Program enrollment has been incorporated into the CRP.

The Transition Incentive Program (TIP).—The 2014 Farm Bill allows for the transition of CRP land to a beginning or socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher so land can be returned to sustainable grazing or crop production. TIP now includes eligibility for military veterans (i.e., "veteran farmers").

Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP).—VPA-HIP is a competitive grant program, with up to $50 million available through FY 2018. 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 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 remains in 2015.

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.

Appropriations.—Reimbursement for Net Realized Losses. Under Section 2 of Public Law 87 155, the Act of August 17 1961 (15 U.S.C. 713a 11), annual appropriations are authorized for each fiscal year, commencing with 1961, to reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 amended Public Law 87–155 to authorize that the Corporation is reimbursed for its net realized losses by means of a current, indefinite appropriation as provided in annual appropriations acts.

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.

Non-Expenditure Transfers.—The Commodity Credit Corporation transfers CCC funds to several agencies responsible for administering Farm Bill and other Corporation programs. Once transferred the expenses are recorded in the receiving agencies accounts.

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 2015 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 2015 Budget includes $6.7 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 Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, continues the authority for this 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. The 2014 Farm Bill continues the authority for this program.
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 Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized up to $5 million for the cost to provide loans to producers of apples for economic losses as the result of low prices. Although the program is funded through the Commodity Credit Corporation, program management is performed through farm loan programs. No further funding is requested for this program.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

The Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, authorizes the continuation of the Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance Programs under Section 1501 and provides funding under the Commodity Credit Corporation.

Funds will be used to make payments to farmers and ranchers under the following four disaster assistance programs: Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP); Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP); Tree Assistance Program (TAP); and Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish (ELAP) Program.

The Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) program continues to cover losses through crop year 2011 to eligible producers in designated areas. SURE sign-up for those losses was held from October 2012 through June 2013. In FY 2014, $92,800,000 of borrowing authority from the Trust Fund that was established by the 2008 Farm Bill will be utilized to make payments for these losses.

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 10,400 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 2015, 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 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. The 2015 Budget requests a total of $814.8 million for Conservation Operations.


	2013 actual	2014 est.	2015 est.

Customers receiving technical assistance for planning & application, number	78,447	75,000	75,000
Conservation systems planned, million acres	28.4	25.0	25.0
Cropland with conservation applied to improve soil quality, million acres	8.4	6.8	6.8
Grazing land with conservation applied to protect the resource base, million acres	15.3	11.7	11.7

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.

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.

._
Operations 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 25 NRCS-managed plant materials centers (limited funding is provided to non-NRCS centers in Alaska and Colorado for the development of plant materials products needed by NRCS) 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 by 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 provides 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's 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 conservation plans, and by providing financial assistance to partially offset the cost to install practices necessary to safeguard natural resources and improve wildlife habitat.

The Agricultural Act of 2014 amended Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985, reauthorizing some programs, repealing some programs (although the purposes of these programs are included in other programs), and creating two new conservation programs that are administered by NRCS. A number of conservation programs were extended in the 2015 Budget's baseline beyond 2018 based upon scorekeeping conventions.

Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)._This program is authorized under section 1240 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The Agricultural Act of 2014 reauthorizes the program through 2018, and the 2015 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 2015 Budget proposes $1,350 million for this program and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2015.

Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)._This program is authorized by Section 1238D of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The Agricultural Act of 2014 reauthorized the program through 2018, and the 2015 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 2015 Budget proposes $1,442 million for this program to enroll 10,000,000 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 2015 Budget proposes $35 million for the Conservation Security Program.

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Technical Assistance._CRP is authorized by Sections 1231–1235A of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, and is administered by the Farm Service Agency. NRCS supports the program by providing technical assistance to producers to implement conservation practices on CRP land. The Agricutural Act of 2014 reauthorized the program, and the 2015 Budget assumes $50 million in technical assistance for NRCS support of CRP.

Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP)._ACEP consists of two components: 1) an agricultural land easement component under which NRCS assists eligible entities to protect agricultural land by limiting non-agricultural uses of that land through the purchase of agricultural land easements; and 2) a wetland reserve easement component under which NRCS provides financial and technical assistance directly to landowners to restore, protect and enhance wetlands through the purchase of wetlands reserve easements. The program is authorized through 2018 by the Agricultural Act of 2014 as a Title XII program under the Food Security Act of 1985. The 2015 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond 2018 in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. For 2015, the authorized level of funding for ACEP is $425 million.

Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP)._RCPP promotes the implementation of conservation activities through agreements between NRCS and partners and through conservation program contracts and easements with producers and landowners. The program is authorized through 2018 by the Agricultural Act of 2014 as a Title XII program under the Food Security Act of 1985. Through agreements between partners and conservation program contracts or easements directly with producers and landowners, RCPP helps implement conservation projects that may focus on water quality and quantity, soil erosion, wildlife habitat, drought mitigation, and flood control, or other regional priorities. The 2015 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond 2018 in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. The authorized level of funding for RCPP is $100 million. In addition, seven percent of the funds and acres in covered programs (ACEP, EQIP, CSP, and HFRP) are reserved to ensure additional resources are available to carry out this program (funds and acres not committed by April 1 of each year revert back to the original program for use under that program).

Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP)._The program is authorized by Section 1240R of the Food Security Act of 1985, and Section 2503 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 reauthorizes the program and provides $40 million per year for 2014 through 2018 (this program was not extended in the baseline beyond 2018). VPA-HIP is a competitive grant program. 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.

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 $10 million annually for the program ($15 million annually for 2008 through 2012), of which NRCS is to receive 50 percent. 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 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 providing the overall AMA program $10 million in 2015, of which NRCS is to receive $5 million.

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 2015, 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 USDA's key investments through Farm Bill conservation programs and related efforts are appropriately leveraged by other Federal programs.

Finally, the Agricultural Act of 2014 repealed the Wetlands Reserve Program, Grasslands Reserve Program and the Farmlands and Ranchlands Protection Program and included the purposes of those programs in the new Agricultural Conservation Easement Program referred to above. The Agricultural Act of 2014 also repealed the Agricultural Water Enhancement Program, Chesapeake Bay Watershed Program, Great Lakes Basin Program, and the Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative and included the purposes of those programs in the new Regional Conservation Partnership Program referred to above. The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program has also been repealed, and its purposes are now included in the Environmental Quality Incentives 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. 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 2015 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, 2013, and 2014. The 2015 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. The 2015 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 2015.

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 2014 enacted level included $12 million for the Watershed Rehabilitation Program. No funding is requested in the 2015 Budget, reflecting the Administration's position that the maintenance, repair, and operation of these dams are the responsibility of local project sponsors. The Agricultural Act of 2014 provided $250 million for this program, while the Budget proposes no mandatory funding for this program in 2015; $153 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 cancelled $2.017 million of the unobligated balances. 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. No funding is requested in the 2015 Budget.

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 2015 Budget does not request discretionary funding for the Healthy Forests Reserve Program.

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 2014 enacted level included $4 million to implement non-renewable agreements on eligible lands, including flooded agricultural lands, as determined by the Secretary, under the Water Bank Act (16 U.S.C. 1301–1311). No funding is requested in the 2015 Budget.

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 2015.

No funding is requested in the 2015 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 2015 Budget, which is the same as the 2014 appropriations.

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, [$1,110,000,000] $1,088,500,000; 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 rental assistance agreements entered into or renewed during the current fiscal year shall be funded [for a 1-year period] up to one year: Provided further, That rental assistance contracts will not be renewed within the 12-month contract period: Provided further, That rental assistance will be renewed at the discretion of the Secretary: Provided further, That tenants in projects financed under section 514 and 515 shall contribute a minimum of $50 per month towards the rent, as determined by the Secretary, unless the Secretary determines a lower amount because the tenant qualifies for a hardship exemption, which shall, to the extent possible and practical, be consistent with similar hardship exemption requirements and conditions established by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for similar programs: Provided further, That any unexpended balances remaining at the end of such 1-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 [2014] 2015 for a farm labor multi-family housing project financed under section 514 or 516 of the Act may not be recaptured for use in another project until such assistance has remained unused for a period of 12 consecutive months, if such project has a waiting list of tenants seeking such assistance or the project has rental assistance eligible tenants who are not receiving such assistance: Provided further, That such recaptured rental assistance shall, to the extent practicable, be applied to another farm labor multi-family housing project financed under section 514 or 516 of the Act.

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 2015, the request for rental assistance grants is for one year contracts with one-year availability, with a total funding level of $1.089 billion. Rural Development is committed to maintaining a sustainable rental assistance program. The 2015 Budget incorporates changes to the operation of the program that are designed to ensure the long term viability of the program. Residents receiving rental assistance payments will be required to pay a minimum rent of $50 per month; the agency will no longer automatically renew contracts within the same 12 month period; contracts will be renewed at the discretion of the Secretary depending upon the needs of the project; and contracts will be issued for a fixed time and fixed sum, and income verification will ensure the right level of subsidy is being received by the appropriate tenant. The authorities are included in the Budget and will also be proposed in a separate multifamily housing reinvention legislative package that will, in addition to those propsoals, include language to provide permanent authority for the tools used to preserve and revitalize the existing Section 515 portfolio.

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, [$32,575,000] $28,000,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That of the funds made available under this heading, [$12,575,000] $8,000,000, 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, $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 approval of] notice 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.

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 $8 million in 2015 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 2015. 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. The Budget includes a legislative proposal to make this program permanent.

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 2015 is projected to be $2.2 billion for direct loans. The 2015 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 2015 Budget requests $21 million for grant purposes. This includes $17 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. 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 2015, 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 . The subsidy rate for 2015 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 subsidy rate continues to be negative. For this program, the 2015 Budget includes two proposals to improve program delivery and increase efficiency: 1.) To make USDA's guaranteed home loan program a direct endorsement program, which is consistent with VA and FHA's guaranteed home loan programs. 2.) Require a $50 per loan guaranteed underwriting fee for lenders, which would become a dedicated funding source to pay for systems upgrades and maintenance of the Guarantee Loan Underwriting System (GUS).
The Budget requests a reduced loan level of $360 million for Section 502 single family housing direct loans. The 2015 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 2015 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 2015 Budget includes $23.9 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, 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 2015, $57.5 million is available for the program until September 30, 2016.

The President's budget includes a general provision requesting $2 million for the Southwest Border Regional Commission to support economic development in the Southwest region. The funding will be disbursed in the Rural Business and Cooperative Grants account.

For rural cooperative development grants authorized under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act (7 U.S.C. 1932), [$26,050,000] $16,087,000, of which [$2,250,000] $2,087,000 shall be for cooperative agreements for the appropriate technology transfer for rural areas program: Provided, That not to exceed $3,000,000 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] $11,000,000, 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. 1632a). (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2014.)

Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act by Public Law 104–127, April 4, 1996. These grants are made available to nonprofit corporations and institutions of higher education to fund the establishment and operation of centers for rural cooperative development. The 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 2015 Budget requests $2.1 million for ATTRA. The 2015 Budget also includes $3 million for grants to assist minority producers. These grants provide assistance to small minority producers through cooperatives and associations of cooperatives.

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 $11 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 2015. The Budget proposes $10 million for rural economic development grants and $7.8 million for loan subsidy. This subsidy supports a loan level of $59.456 million.

For the cost of loans, $3,290,000, 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 cost of loans, including the cost of modifying such loans, shall be defined by section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

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 2015 projections for loan guarantees are $591 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 2015 Budget proposes $3.1 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 2015 Budget proposes a loan level of $59.5 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 2015 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 2015 due to the 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 2015, $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 2015 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 2015 $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 $345 million for the telecommunications Treasury loan program and $345 million for the telecommunications loan program FFB.

The Budget supports the Administration's commitment to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. The total electric loan level included in the Budget is $5 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 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 2015 while requesting $24.95 million for DLT grants. The request for Broadband grants is $20.4 million and the Broadband loan request is $8.3 million.

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 2015 Budget includes $182.5 million for FAS, an increase of $4.7 million over the 2014 enacted level. For more information on FAS's mission and program topic areas, please visit http://www.fas.usda.gov/topics.

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 2015 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.

Title II of the Food for Peace Act (P.L. 83–480), as amended, formerly the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954) authorizes the provision of U.S. food assistance to meet emergency food needs around the world, and funds development-oriented programs to help address the underlying causes of food insecurity. Funding for Title II, also known as P.L. 480 Title II, is appropriated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

The FY 2015 request of $1.4 billion includes $270 million to be used for development programs in combination with an additional $80 million requested in the Development Assistance (DA) account under USAID's Community Development Fund, bringing the total funding for these types of programs to $350 million. Together, these resources support development food assistance programs' efforts to address chronic food insecurity in areas of recurrent crises using a multi-sectoral approach to reduce poverty and build resilience. The balance of the request, $1.13 billion, will be used to provide emergency food assistance in response to natural disasters and complex emergencies.

The request includes new authority to use up to 25 percent ($350 million) of the appropriation in emergencies for interventions such as local or regional procurement of food near emergencies, food vouchers, or cash transfers. This flexibility makes emergency food aid more timely and cost-effective, improving program efficiencies and performance, and allowing USAID to assist about 2 million more emergency beneficiaries annually with the same level of resources.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the primary source of nutrition assistance for low-income Americans.

This account also includes funds for a grant to Puerto Rico to administer a low-income nutrition assistance program, in lieu of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; funds to carry out the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983; and funds for food distribution and administrative expenses for Native Americans under section 4(b) of the Food and Nutrition Act.

The SNAP contingency fund holds benefits in reserve to cover unforeseen events, such as natural disasters and fluctuations in food prices.

In addition, the Budget proposes an advance appropriation and enhanced flexibility in the fourth quarter to conform the treatment of SNAP with other direct spending programs subject to appropriations that serve low-income individuals, such as Medicaid, SSI, Child Support, and Foster Care.

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 2015 Budget will support almost 5.3 billion lunches and snacks served 30.4 million children in the NSLP, almost 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.

This account funds the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), farmers' market nutrition programs, assistance for the nuclear- affected islands, and disaster relief.

CSFP provides food packages for low-income elderly persons and for some low-income women, infants and children. It also funds State administrative expenses. TEFAP provides cash to support State administrative activities and to maintain the storage and distribution pipeline for USDA and privately-donated commodities (TEFAP commodities are separately funded through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) account). The account also funds two programs which provide low-income participants vouchers to purchase produce at farmers' markets. The Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is funded by transfer from the Commodity Credit Corporation. The WIC Farmers' Market Program is funded by discretionary appropriation.

The 2015 Budget requests $306,280,000 for Capital Improvement and Maintenance, a decrease of $43,720,000 below the 2014 enacted 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 in the National Forest System (NFS) 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, and acquisition of buildings, and other facilities necessary to carry out the mission of the Forest System.

Roads._Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of the NFS 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 NFS trails. Funding is used to protect capital investments by keeping trails open for access and protecting vegetation, soil, and water quality.

Infrastructure Improvement._Provides for capital improvement and maintenance directed toward reducing the backlog in deferred maintenance on NFS 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 2015 Budget requests $275,315,000 for Forest and Rangeland Research (Forest Service R&D), a decrease of $17,490,000 below the 2014 enacted level. Funding maintains an essential level of basic research associated with the Priority Research Areas and Strategic Program Areas. Forest Service R&D provides scientific information and new technologies to support sustainable management of the Nation's forests and rangelands 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 2015 Budget requests $1,640,484,000 for the National Forest System (NFS), an increase of $144,154,000 above the 2014 enacted level for the stewardship and management of the 193 million acres of national forests and grasslands. This includes the 155 national forests and 20 national grasslands located in 44 States and Puerto Rico that are managed under multiple-use and sustained-yield principles. The natural resources of timber, minerals, range, wildlife, outdoor recreation, watershed, and soil are used in a planned combination that best meets the needs of the Nation without impairing productivity of the land or damaging the environment.

The Budget prioritizes funding of programs designed to increase the health and resilience of the Nation's forests and grasslands, while meeting the multiple use requirements on our Nation's forests and grasslands. Increases are provided for the Integrated Resource Restoration program (IRR) and the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration program (CFLRP) which can be used to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, increase water quantity and quality, improve carbon sequestration, and increase economic opportunities and jobs. These increases support a broader goal of mitigating fire risk, protecting communities, preparing for wildland fire, and suppressing wildland fire where and when appropriate, while meeting other critical land management goals.

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.

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 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 2015 Budget requests $229,485,000 for State and Private Forestry, essentially level with the 2014 enacted level. Funds provide technical and financial assistance to landowners and resource managers. S&PF programs help sustain the Nation's urban and rural forests on State and private lands and protect communities and the environment from wildland fires, insects, disease, and invasive plants. S&PF programs also help facilitate sound stewardship and provide tools to address forest health threats on a landscape scale, while maintaining the flexibility for individual forest landowners to pursue their objectives. For more information visit http://www.fs.fed.us/spf/.

The Administration has worked this year to analyze and develop a strategy to address catastrophic fire risk. There are three main issues that need to be addressed for there to be a comprehensive plan of action. The first key is to address wildland fire suppression to provide a stable source of funding while minimizing the destabilizing transfers from non fire programs. The second is to improve the management of federal lands. Improved land management will have many benefits including a reduction in wildland fire risk, an increase in fire fighter safety, improved water quantity and quality, and increased carbon sequestration. The third issue is for non-federal land managers, including private land owners, to implement actions to reduce the risk of fire and increase the resiliency of these lands to fire, when it occurs. This budget made hard choices to support important activities while maximizing the Forest Service's ability to address the three main issues with wildland fire noted above. This resulted in reductions in some programs to increase or maintain funding in others.

Landscape Scale Restoration._The Landscape Scale Restoration program funds competitive projects focused on issues and landscapes of national importance and on activities that promise meaningful outcomes. Outcomes are measured by improved data collection using streamlined spatial reporting tools. Building upon the State and Private Forestry Redesign process (see http://www.fs.fed.us/spf/redesign/index.shtml for more information on the Redesign), Landscape Scale Restoration prioritizes resources to shape forest land use on a scale that optimizes public benefits from forests. 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, as well as projects to restore healthy and resilient forests and communities. Funding of this program is a critical part of the Forest Service's toolbox to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, improve water quality and quantity and increase carbon sequestration.

Forest Health Management._Funds Federal and cooperative lands to maintain healthy, productive ecosystems by preventing, detecting, and suppressing damaging native and invasive insects and diseases across all land ownerships and invasive plants on cooperative lands. Based on a science-based forest health risk map, the Budget allocates funding to 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. Funding of this program is a critical part of the Forest Service's toolbox to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, improve water quality and quantity and increase carbon sequestration.

Cooperative Forestry._Funds the Forest Stewardship, Forest Legacy, Community Forest and Open Space Conservation, and Urban and Community Forestry programs. These 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 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 easements protect air and water quality, provide access for recreation, and provide habitat for threatened or endangered species.

Mandatory Land and Water Conservation Fund._The Administration proposes $900 million in discretionary and mandatory funding in FY 2015, and proposes to permanently authorize $900 million in annual mandatory funding for the Departments of the Interior and Agriculture Land and Water Conservation Fund programs beginning in FY 2016.

Community Forest and Open Space Conservation._Funds 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 localities nationwide to 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._Assists agencies with missions centrally focused on international issues with natural resource conservation. The Budget proposes to eliminate funding for this program.

The 2015 Budget requests $2,265,113,000 for Wildland Fire Management (WFM), an increase of $102,811,000 above the 2014 enacted level to fund Forest Service fire preparedness, fire suppression, hazardous fuels treatments, joint fire sciences, research and development, and cooperative fire programs on National Forest System (NFS) lands, adjacent State and private lands, and other lands under fire protection agreement. The 2015 budget proposes to amend the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, to establish a new budget framework for the Wildland Fire Management program that is designed to provide stable funding for fire suppression, while minimizing the adverse impacts of fire transfers on the budgets of other fire and non-fire programs, as well as reduce fire risk, manage landscapes more comprehensively, and increase the resiliency of public lands and the communities that border them. In this proposed new budget framework, a portion of the funding need for suppression response is funded within the discretionary spending limits and a portion is funded in an adjustment to those limits. In addition, it does not increase overall discretionary spending, as it would reduce the ceiling for the existing disaster relief cap adjustment by an equivalent amount as is provided fro wildfire suppression operations. More detail is provided in the Budget Process chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.

Preparedness._To ensure agency capability to protect life, property, and natural resources while assuring an appropriate, risk informed, and effective response to wildfires that is consistent with land and resource management objectives. Firefighter and public safety are the primary considerations for all operations.
Preparedness provides for fire management assets that protect NFS, other Federal, State, and private lands from damaging wildfires, reducing threats to life and values at risk commensurate with land management objectives in the Cohesive Strategy. Key components of the wildland fire response mission delivery are readiness capability and program leadership necessary to ensure appropriate, risk informed, and effective operations. Preparedness also supports other vital elements of a comprehensive wildland fire management program like modernization of the large airtanker fleet, planning, prevention, development of information technology and decision support systems, training and education, development and advancement of firefighting technology, and organizational learning through program analysis and review.
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 predictive services analysis of fire season potential to strategically deploy firefighting resources, web-based wildfire decision support tools, centralized management of aviation assets, implementation of optimized dispatching analysis, and streamlining of information technology investments.

Suppression._Risk-informed suppression of wildland fires on or threatening NFS lands, other Federal lands, and 20 million acres of non-Federal lands under fire protection agreements. The Budget request proposes an adjustment to the discretionary spending limits as a new approach for responsibly budgeting for wildland fire suppression to minimize the risk of fire transfers and provide more stability and certainty of funding to other programs to invest in critical forest and rangeland management needs. The Budget proposes a base level of funding of 70 percent of the 10-year average of suppression costs to be funded within the discretionary cap. The proposed cap adjustment would fund the remaining identified need for Suppression. The base level of funds ensures that the cap adjustment is only used for the most severe fire activity since it is one percent of the fires that results in 30 percent of the costs. In 2015, 70 percent of the 10-year average is $708 million. The amount requested in the budget adjustment equals the difference between the total amount of suppression expenditures projected for the fiscal year, based on the Outyear Forecast developed by the U.S. Forest Service's Southern Research Station, and the 70 percent of the 10-year suppression average that is requested within the discretionary budget caps. For 2015, the request for the budget cap adjustment is $954 million.
Wildfires continue to be larger and more difficult to suppress due to the effects of a changing climate, persistent drought and hazardous fuels conditions, and the increased size and complexity of housing developments adjacent to the wildland-urban interface (WUI). The Forest Service recognizes the costs of WUI suppression activities and will continue to aggressively pursue management improvements, including:
— focusing hazardous fuels funding for treatments in the WUI,
—using risk-informed, performance-based suppression strategies,
— clarifying roles and responsibilities in the WUI,
— using appropriate cost-share agreements, and
— deploying decision support tools.
Development of necessary governance and risk management protocols that will guide program management and incident response with the application of resources to reduce unnecessary risk to firefighter safety in the short-term and to the long-term resiliency of fire-adapted ecosystems will continue to be a focus. The Forest Service will also continue efforts to allow fire to return to the landscape when these fires will improve the health of the forest and when risks to safety and communities make it appropriate to do so.

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 include funding to enhance the capacity of States to increase the fire adaptability of communities by providing funding and technical assistance to: (1) increase their initial attack capabilities, (2) reduce hazardous fuels in and around communities, and (3) purchase and maintain firefighting 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 will be focused on the most strategic acres for treatment, which are often the most expensive because they require mechanical treatment or a combination of mechanical treatment with prescribed fire. Projects completed using hazardous fuels funds will focus on: strategically protecting communities (and associated lives, property, and public infrastructure) which are at the highest risk from damaging wildfire; providing a safer environment for wildland fire management operations; and supporting communities that are working to achieve Firewise standards, have identified acres to be treated in Community Wildfire Protection Plans or equivalent plans, and have made an investment in implementing local solutions to protect against wildland fire.
The Hazardous Fuels program restores forest health and reduces wildfire risks. 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. Healthy, resilient landscapes have greater capacity to adapt to and withstand natural disturbances and large scale threats to sustainability, especially under changing and uncertain future environmental conditions such as those created by climate change.

The 2015 Budget requests $2,320,000 for the Range Betterment Fund, a decrease of $680,000 below the 2014 enacted level. This program emphasizes essential structural and non-structural improvements prescribed in grazing allotment National Environmental Policy Act decision documents. Treatment of invasive plant species related to permitted livestock use continues to be a priority for non-structural rangeland improvement work. Fifty percent of grazing fees from National Forests in the 16 western States, once appropriated, are used to protect and improve rangeland productivity primarily through revegetation, construction and reconstruction, and maintenance of improvements under authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1751), as amended.

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.

The 2015 Budget requests $52,166,000 for the Land Acquisition accounts, an increase of $7,512,000 above the 2014 enacted level. This heading consolidates land acquisition authorities for acquisition of lands, waters, or interest therein, as authorized by law. Consistent with the President's commitment to the America's Great Outdoors Initiative, the Budget will provide funding for land acquisition through the Land and Water Conservation Fund to support the acquisition of high-priority forests and grasslands. This program is included in the proposal for mandatory funding for LWCF. The 2015 Federal Land Acquisition program builds on efforts started in 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 (NFS) 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 $900,000,000 in discretionary and mandatory funding in FY 2015, and proposes to permanently authorize $900,000,000 in annual mandatory funding for the Departments of Agriculture and the Interior Land and Water Conservation Fund programs beginning in fiscal year 2016.

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 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).

Administration of Rights-of-Way Reimbursable Program (Cost Recovery Lands Major Projects)._

Payments to States._The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act (SRS Act) provides for transitional assistance to rural counties affected by the decline in revenue from timber harvests on Federal lands. This authority was extended through September 30, 2013, pursuant to P.L. 113–40, the Helium Stewardship Act of 2013. Payments will be made in FY 2014 with FY 2013 receipts.
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) which 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 mandatory reauthorization, starting in 2014, of the SRS Act. 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.

Payment to Minnesota._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 annually provides 25 percent of net revenues from the use of Title III-Bakhead-Jones Acquired Lands to counties in which Title III-Bankhead-Jones Acquired Lands are located for funding public schools and roads. (7 U.S.C. 1012).

Roads and Trails (10 Percent) 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 to correct road and trail deficiencies that adversely affect ecosystems. Since FY 2008, Congress has directed that funds becoming available 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. The licensee program includes Smokey Bear to further the nationwide forest fire prevention campaign (16 U.S.C. 580p(2)) and Woodsy Owl to promote wise use of the environment (16 U.S.C. 580p(1)).

Quinault Special Management Area._The Forest Service manages the natural resources and distributes proceeds from the sale of forest products in the Quinault Special Management Area of the Olympic National Forest 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 Forest to administer future timber sales. (P.L 100–638) (102 Stat. 3327).

Hardwood Technology Transfer and Applied Research Fund._Funds collected from leasing the Wood Education and Research Center (WERC) wood shop and rough mill under a special use permit are available for the management and operation of the WERC and the payment of salaries and expenses (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.
