             The Office of the Secretary is responsible for the overall planning, coordination and administration of the Department's programs.
                This includes the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under Secretaries, Assistant Secretaries, and their immediate staffs, who provide
                top policy guidance for the Department; maintain relationships with agricultural organizations and others in the development
                of farm programs; and provide liaison with the Executive Office of the President and Members of Congress on all matters pertaining
                to agricultural policy.

             The 2018 Budget requests $16.7 million for the Office of the Secretary.
             The Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Coordination formulates emergency preparedness policies for USDA and directs
                and coordinates Department activities that support USDA emergency programs and liaison functions with Congress, the Department
                of Homeland Security, and other Federal agencies involving homeland security, natural disasters, agriculture-related international
                civil emergency planning and intelligence activities. The 2018 Budget requests $1.4 million.

             The Office of Advocacy and Outreach improves access to USDA programs and enhances the viability and profitability of small
                farms and ranches, beginning farmers and ranchers, and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. The Department is committed
                to ensuring that all USDA constituents, including historically underserved groups, have the opportunity to participate in
                and benefit from the programs offered by the Department. The 2018 Budget requests $1.2 million.

             Departmental Administration provides staff support to policy officials and overall direction and coordination of the Department.
                Activities include Department-wide programs for human resources management, occupational safety and health management, real
                and personal property management, acquisitions and contracting, motor vehicle and aircraft management, supply management,
                and participation of small and disadvantaged businesses and veterans programs. The 2018 Budget requests $22.5 million. This
                funding level reflects a transfer of $2 million and the realignment of the Office of Administrative Law Judges and the Office
                of the Judicial Officer from Departmental Administration to the Office of Hearings and Appeals.

             The Office of Communications provides leadership, expertise, and coordination to implement successful strategies and products
                that advance the mission of the USDA while serving the public in a fair, equal, transparent and accessible manner. The 2018
                Budget requests $7.3 million.

             The Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) is responsible for conducting first and second-level administrative adjudications
                at USDA through fair, transparent, and consistent processes. Activities are carried out by three offices, the National Appeals
                Division (NAD), the Office of Administrative Law Judges (OALJ), and the Office of the Judicial Officer (OJO). NAD is responsible
                for listening to farmers and other rural program participants concerning their disputes with certain agencies within USDA
                through fair and impartial administrative hearings and appeals. OALJ and OJO (previously housed in Departmental Administration)
                are responsible for regulatory hearings and administrative proceedings. OHA was established in 2016 with the consolidation
                of the three offices. The 2018 Budget requests $14.7 million and reflects this realignment.

             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 2018 Budget requests $59 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,
                safety, and the environment. The 2018 Budget requests $3.5 million.

             The Economic Research Service provides economic and other social science research and analysis to inform public and private
                decision making on food, agriculture, natural resources, and rural America. The Agency's mission is to anticipate issues that
                are on the horizon, and to conduct sound, peer-reviewed economic research. ERS is also the primary source of statistical indicators
                that, among other things, gauge the health of the farm sector (including farm income estimates and projections), assess the
                current and expected performance of the agricultural sector (including trade), and provide measures of food security here
                and abroad. Most of the Agency's research is conducted by a highly trained staff of economists and social scientists through
                an intramural program of research, market outlook, and analysis.

             Five principles characterize ERS' core program: (1) Research that builds on unique or confidential data sources at the Federal
                level and is inherent in the role of a Federal Statistical Agency, including the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS)
                and associated farm and farm household finance estimates, consumer data and related research on food consumption, and development
                of USDA's commodity market outlook; (2) Research that provides coordination for a national perspective or framework, setting
                a single standard; (3) Research that requires a sustained investment and large teams; (4) Research that directly services
                the U.S. Government or USDA's long-term national goals such as the cost to the economy of sickness and premature death due
                to foodborne illnesses for FSIS, rural definition analysis for Rural development, and conservation program options for FSA
                and NCRS; and (5) Research that addresses questions with short-run payoff or has immediate policy implications.

             The 2018 budget request of $76.7 million continues to fund ERS' highest priority core programs, including research, data,
                and market outlook on the following: How investments in rural people, businesses, and communities affect the capacity of rural
                economies to prosper in a changing global marketplace; economic issues related to developing natural resource policies and
                programs that respond to the need to protect the environment while enhancing agricultural competitiveness; production agriculture,
                domestic and international markets, and Federal farm policies, to understand the U.S. food and agriculture sector's performance;
                the Nation's food and nutrition assistance programs, to study the relationships among factors that influence food choices
                and health outcomes and to enhance methodologies for valuing societal benefits associated with reducing food safety risks.

             The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) provides the official National and State estimates of acreage, yield,
                and production of crops, grain stocks, value and expenditures associated with farm commodities and inventory, values, and
                expenditures of livestock items. Data on approximately 120 crops and 45 livestock products are covered in more than 450 reports
                issued each year. In addition, the Census of Agriculture, which is conducted every five years for years ending in 2 and 7,
                an in-depth picture 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)).

             Agricultural Estimates.—The Agricultural Estimates program is vital for a wide range of people. Users of these data include but are not limited
                to farmers, ranchers and growers. Agricultural commodity markets in the U.S. and around the world, Federal, State and local
                policy makers, and people involved in planning, investment, price discovery mechanisms, research, and marketing decisions.
                Billions of dollars could be put at risk without these essential Agricultural Estimates statistical reports. Staff in 12 Regional
                offices and 34 State offices serving all 50 States conduct the work to produce these commodity estimates. Cooperative arrangements
                with State agencies provide additional State and county data. In order to support Administration priorities and improve efficiency,
                NASS has carefully completed a comprehensive review of existing programs to determine where reductions could be taken, evaluating
                with the following priorities: 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 2016, NASS achieved
                several accomplishments: 1) published the regular schedule of Agricultural Estimates Federal Principal Economic Indicators;
                2) released the first-ever Cost of Honey bee Pollination report from operators with five or more colonies; 3) conducted the
                Vegetable Chemical Use Survey; 4) closed the NASS data center and migrated to the USDA Enterprise Data Center; and 5) implemented
                two-factor secure connectivity to the NASS virtual desktop environment.

             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 of Agriculture is critical
                because it provides comprehensive data on the agriculture economy, land use, production expenses, value of land and buildings,
                farm size and characteristics of farm operators, market value of agricultural production sold, acreage of major crops, inventory
                of livestock and poultry, and farm irrigation practices. The 2018 Budget request includes an increase to reflect the normal
                activity levels related to the cyclical nature of the 5-year Census of Agriculture program. This represents the highest level
                of funding during the five year Census cycle. NASS will also use field enumeration to collect information from minority and
                underserved populations, such as American Indians and Hispanic producers. Historically, these groups have been hard to reach.
                In 2016, NASS achieved several accomplishments: 1) conducted Local Foods Marketing Practices survey; 2) published four Current
                Agricultural Industrial Reports previously suspended by the Department of Commerce; and 3) released results of the 2015 Certified
                Organic Survey.

             The 2018 total request is $185.7 million for NASS, including $121.8 million for Agricultural Estimates to: 1) conduct the
                essential Federal Principal Economic Indicator surveys; and 2) conduct other Core Integrated Surveys and Estimates to support
                USDA programs.

             The 2018 NASS request includes $63.9 million for the Census of Agriculture. NASS will: 1) continue planning and preparing
                for the FY 2017 Census of Agriculture; 2) finalize the census mail list by mailing the National Agricultural Classifications
                Survey to more than 1,000,000 potential operations to determine if they meet the farm definition.

             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 2018 Salaries and Expenses budget for ARS requests $993.1 million which supports ongoing intramural research conducted
                by ARS. It also includes proposed terminations of projects and closures of labs and research units.

             New Products/Product Quality/Value Added.—ARS has active research programs directed toward improving the efficiency and reducing the cost for the conversion of agricultural
                products into biobased products and biofuels; developing new and improved products for domestic and foreign markets; and providing
                higher quality, healthy foods that satisfy consumer needs in the United States and abroad.

             Environmental Stewardship.— The emphasis of ARS' environmental stewardship research programs is on developing technologies and systems that support
                sustainable 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 also
                focuses 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 this
                program. ARS' range and grazing land research objectives include 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: safeguarding and utilizing animal genetic resources, associated genetic and genomic databases, and bioinformatic tools;
                developing a basic understanding of food animal physiology to address priority issues related to animal production, animal
                well-being, and product quality and healthfulness; and 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 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. Research activities attempt to minimize
                the impacts of crop pests while maintaining healthy crops and safe commodities that can be sold in markets throughout the
                world. ARS is conducting research to discover and exploit naturally occurring and engineered genetic mechanisms for plant
                pest control, develop agronomic germplasm with durable defensive traits, and transfer genetic resources for commercial use.
                ARS provides taxonomic information on invasive species that strengthens prevention techniques, aids in detection/identification
                of invasive pests, and increases control through management tactics that restore habitats and biological diversity.

             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 the following strategic
                objectives: establish ARS laboratories into a fluid, highly effective research network to maximize use of core competencies
                and resources; ensure access to specialized high containment facilities to study zoonotic and emerging diseases; develop an
                integrated animal and microbial genomics research program; establish core competencies in bovine, swine, ovine, and avian
                immunology; launch a biotherapeutic discovery program providing alternatives to animal drugs; build a technology-driven vaccine
                and diagnostic discovery research program; develop core competencies in field epidemiology and predictive biology; establish
                a best-in-class training center for our Nation's veterinarians and scientists; and develop a model technology transfer program
                to achieve the full impact of ARS research discoveries.

             Crop Protection.—ARS' research on crop protection protects crops from insects and diseases through research to understand pest and disease
                transmission mechanisms, and to identify and apply new technologies that increase understanding of virulence factors and host
                defense mechanisms. ARS research priorities include identification of: genes that convey virulence traits in pathogens and
                pests; factors that modulate infectivity, gene functions, and mechanisms; genetic profiles that provide specified levels of
                disease and insect resistance under field conditions; and mechanisms that reduce 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 and to address quarantine issues.

             Food Safety.— ARS' food safety research program 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 the Food Safety and Inspection
                Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
                Department of Homeland Security, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ARS also collaborates in international research
                programs to address and resolve global food safety issues. Specific research efforts are directed toward developing new technologies
                that assist ARS stakeholders and customers, including 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 the lifespan along with prevention of obesity and chronic diseases via food-based recommendations
                are the major emphases of ARS' human nutrition research program. These health-related goals are based on the knowledge that
                deficiency diseases are no longer primary public health concerns in the U.S. 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 qualities. Four specific areas of research are
                emphasized: nutrition monitoring; the scientific basis for dietary recommendations; prevention of obesity and related diseases;
                and 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 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 a 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.

             This account provides funds for the acquisition of land, construction, repair, improvement, extension, alteration, and purchase
                of fixed equipment or facilities of or used by the Agricultural Research Service.

             ARS operates an extensive network of Federally-owned research facilities strategically located throughout the United States,
                reflective of the wide geographic diversity and site specificity of agricultural production and distinct climatic and agroecosystem
                zones. The agency completed a review of its laboratory portfolio in 2012 and developed a plan for future capital investment
                that would be required to maintain this aging infrastructure. The resulting "Capital Investment Strategy" recommended modernization
                of selected facilities. The 2018 Budget request does not include funding for this account and proposes to cancel $212 million
                in unobligated balances that are no longer needed for capital improvements.

             Integrated research, education, and/or extension grants are awarded for competitive and non-competitive programs.
             Crop Protection/Pest Management Program.—This program supports projects that respond to pest management challenges with coordinated region-wide and national research,
                education, and extension programs, and serves as a catalyst for promoting further development and use of integrated pest management
                approaches. The program also fosters regional and national team building efforts, communication networks, and enhanced stakeholder
                participation. The 2018 Budget includes $14.6 million for this program.

             Food and agriculture defense initiative (homeland security).—The program provides support and enhancement of nationally-coordinated plant and animal disease diagnostic networks and supports
                activities to identify and respond to high risk biological pathogens in the food and agricultural system. The 2018 Budget
                includes $5.7 million. Additional funding for these laboratories is included in the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

             Organic Agriculture Research and Extension Initiative.—This mandatory program, authorized by section 7206 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill), supports
                research and extension programs that enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards
                to grow and market high quality organic agricultural products. In 2018, mandatory funding for the program is $20 million.

             Specialty Crop Research Initiative.—This mandatory program, authorized by section 7306 of the 2014 Farm Bill, which amends Section 412 of the Agricultural Research,
                Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998, provides funding to solve critical industry issues through: research and extension
                activities that focus on research in plant breeding, genetics, and genomics to improve crop characteristics; efforts to identify
                and address threats from pests and diseases, including threats to specialty crop pollinators; efforts to improve production
                efficiency, productivity, and profitability over the long term; new innovations and technology, including improved mechanization
                and technologies that delay or inhibit ripening; and methods to prevent, detect, monitor, control, and respond to potential
                food safety hazards in the production and processing of specialty crops. In 2018, mandatory funding for the program is $80
                million. Of the monies available for this program, $25 million is reserved to carry out the Emergency Citrus Disease Research
                and Extension Program.

             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 leverage State and local funding for agricultural research and higher
                education.

             Payments under the Hatch Act.—Funds under the Hatch Act are allocated on a formula basis to agricultural experiment stations of the land-grant colleges
                in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Micronesia, and Northern
                Mariana Islands. The 2018 budget includes $243.2 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 2018 Budget is funded at $28.9 million.

             Payments to 1890 Institutions for Research.—Funds allocated on a formula basis support agricultural research and broaden the curricula at the nineteen 1890 land-grant
                colleges, including Tuskegee University, West Virginia State University, and Central State University. The 2018 Budget includes
                $54.1million.

             Special grants and other research programs.—This program addresses research areas of national interest. The 2018 Budget includes $11.9 million for IR-4 minor crop pest
                management to assist growers in obtaining registrations of pesticides for use on specialty food crops, ornamental horticulture
                crops, and minor uses on major crops. The 2018 Budget also includes funding for sustainable agriculture at $19 million. The
                2018 Budget proposes funding at $1.8 million for the competitive 1994 Institutions research grants program to build research
                capacity at the legislatively eligible 1994 institutions by supporting tribal, national and multistate agricultural research
                priorities.

             Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants.—Section 7406 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–246) 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. The 2018 Budget includes $349.3 million for AFRI to support the transformative
                innovations needed to achieve nutritional security. This investment is essential for the foundational research and agricultural
                workforce development that complements and underpins large systems-level research, education, and extension activities needed
                to maintain America's global preeminence in food and agricultural production. To achieve this transformation of U.S. agricultural
                systems, NIFA proposes the AFRI to include investments on three major foci: Sustainable Agricultural Systems, Foundational
                and Applied Science, and Education and Workforce Development. These complementary foci will support the creation, delivery,
                and application of the knowledge, tools, and innovations needed to tackle the broad range of global agricultural challenges
                impacting America. Addressing these challenges 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; bioenergy, 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.

             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 2018 Budget includes $19.3 million.

             Higher education.—The 2018 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. The 2018 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 $2 million. These programs enable universities to broaden
                their curricula, and increase faculty development and student research projects in the food and agricultural sciences. Funding
                also is proposed in the 2018 Budget, at $5 million, for the Veterinary Medical Services Act to provide incentives to hire
                veterinarians to work in shortage areas.

             Native American Institutions Endowment Fund.—The 2018 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. An estimated $4.7 million
                in interest earned in 2017 will be available to the program in 2018.

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

             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) NIFA at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; b) Extension professionals at land-grant universities
                throughout the U.S. 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 also are crucial to the Cooperative Extension System's strength
                and vitality.

             Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c).—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. Funds will be used to develop practical applications of existing
                or improved practices or technologies in agriculture; and disseminate information to communities through demonstrations and
                publications. The 2018 Budget proposes Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) programs to be funded at $299.4 million.

             1890 Institutions.—Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) provides formula payments to the 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University, West Virginia State University,
                and Central State University. The 2018 Budget includes $45.5 million and provides funds to support the Extension's infrastructure.

             1890 Facilities.—The 2018 Budget includes $19.7 million for 1890 Facilities Grants for the acquisition and improvement of food, agricultural,
                and human sciences facilities and equipment, including libraries, so that the 1890 land-grant institutions, including Tuskegee
                University, West Virginia State University, and Central State University may participate fully in the production of human
                capital in the food and agricultural sciences.

             Smith-Lever 3(d) Programs.—Designated programs funded by Smith-Lever 3(d) include the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program; Children, Youth,
                and Families at Risk; and Federally-Recognized Tribes Extension Program. The 2018 Budget includes $79.2 million for these
                programs.

             Other Extension Programs.—Other Extension programs supported in the 2018 Budget include Extension Services at 1994 Institutions at $4.4 million, Food
                Animal Residue Avoidance Database Program at $1.2 million, and Food Safety Outreach Program at $5 million.

             Federal administration.—A coordinating and review staff assists in maintaining cooperation within and among the States, and between the States and
                their Federal partners. This staff also administers extension grants and payments to States. Federal administration is funded
                from direct appropriation for administration. The 2018 Budget includes $8.3 million, which includes $0.6 million for agriculture
                in the classroom.

             Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program.—This mandatory program, authorized by section 7410 of the 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 U.S. 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 2018, mandatory funding for the program is $20 million.

             Agriculture Risk Management Education Program.—This mandatory program, authorized by section 133 of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000, which amends the Federal
                Crop Insurance Act, provides funding for educating agricultural producers on the full range of risk management activities.
                These activities include futures, options, agricultural trade options, crop insurance, cash forward contracting, debt reduction,
                production diversification, marketing plans and tactics, farm resources risk reduction, and other appropriate risk management
                strategies. In 2018, mandatory funding for this program is $5 million.

             Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive Program.—This mandatory program, authorized by section 4208 of the Farm Bill, funds and evaluates projects intended to increase the
                purchase of fruits and vegetables, any variety of fresh, canned, dried, or frozen whole or cut fruits and vegetables without
                added sugars, fats, or oils, and salt (i.e. sodium), by low-income consumers participating in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
                Program (SNAP) by providing incentives at the point of purchase. The program will test strategies that could contribute to
                the understanding of how best to increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables by SNAP participants to inform future efforts,
                and develop effective and efficient benefit redemption technologies. In 2018, mandatory funding for the program is $25 million.

              Reimbursable program.—Funds support activities performed for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies.

             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 animal and plant pests and diseases. Should a pest or disease enter the United
                States, APHIS works cooperatively with other Federal, State, Tribal and industry partners 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.  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.  APHIS conducts diagnostic laboratory activities that support the Agency's animal 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. APHIS provides technical and some operational assistance to States, Tribes, and local entities in reducing wildlife
                damage to natural and agricultural resources. Finally, 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.

             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' 2018 budget request is $810 million, a reduction of approximately $83 million from 2017. The Agency has made progress
                towards eradication of the pink bollworm and requires less resources for its Cotton Pests program. We will continue to address
                the boll weevil in affected areas. The Agency also proposes a decrease where Congress provided additional funding for specific
                non-recurring investments. Additionally, APHIS proposes decreases to reduce the Federal share of funding for certain plant
                health and wildlife services programs, resulting in a more equitable Federal cost-share for efforts that provide local benefits.
                APHIS works as a partner with its cooperators at the State, local, and industry levels to achieve overall program goals; it
                is expected that cooperators contribute their share of responsibility by devoting appropriate resources towards the effort.
                The Agency proposes to maintain funding for its other programs and functions.

             The primary objective of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is to ensure that meat, poultry, and egg products are
                safe, 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 2018 Budget proposes $1.04 billion for inspection of meat, poultry and egg products,
                which is a $25 million increase above 2017. With these funds, FSIS will support Federal, in-plant and other frontline personnel,
                the Federal share of State inspection programs, its data infrastructure, and its scientific approach to food safety. This
                budget also requests Congress return Siluriformes inspection to FDA. In addition, the budget proposes a user fee which will
                be charged to plants to support inspections and central operations costs for Federal, State, and International inspection
                programs for meat, poultry, and eggs.

             The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration's (GIPSA) Federal Grain Inspection Service 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 Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) provides a uniform system for the inspection and weighing
                of grain for marketing and trade purposes. Services provided under this system accurately and consistently describe the quality
                and quantity of grain and 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 46 official private and state agencies: 34 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.

             The Budget proposes eliminating the obligation limitation on fees collected from inspection and weighing services in order
                to allow GIPSA to fully support the Federal Grain Inspection Service's inspection and weighing program. In order to support
                these mandatory export services and the voluntary domestic services and continue to meet the demand of the domestic and foreign
                grain and related commodity markets, the limitation on inspection and weighing services expenses that is currently in place
                needs to be eliminated. The elimination of the cap will provide GIPSA with the flexibility needed to respond to market needs.

             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 2018 Budget requests about $77.5 million for Marketing Services, approximately $3.6 million below 2017 . 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.

             National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard.— Public Law 114–216 charges AMS with developing a national mandatory system for disclosing the presence of bioengineered
                material. AMS will develop rulemaking and ensure an open and transparent process to effectively establish this new program,
                which will increase consumers' confidence and understanding of the foods they buy, and avoid uncertainty for food companies
                and farmers.

             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.

             Inspections of egg handlers and hatcheries are conducted quarterly 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, sorghum, processed raspberries, Christmas trees, paper
                and packaging, softwood lumber, and peanuts; 2) the Federal Seed Act; 3) the Pesticide Data Program; 4) Country of Origin
                Labeling; and 5) the National Organic Program.

             The Pesticide Data program develops comprehensive, statistically defensible information on pesticide residues in food to improve
                government dietary risk procedures.

             Federal seed inspectors conduct tests on seed samples to help ensure truthful labeling of agricultural and vegetable seeds
                sold in interstate commerce.

             Country of Origin Labeling reviews and verifies that retailers are notifying their customers of the country of origin of certain
                foods as specified in the law.

             The National Organic Program develops national standards for organically-produced agricultural products, assuring consumers
                that products with the USDA organic seal meet consistent, uniform 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 Milk Market Orders Assessment Fund displays the non-Federal costs of administrating Federal milk marketing orders, and
                includes salaries and expenses, travel, and rent for office space. The Agricultural Marketing Service reports this account
                in the President's Budget because milk marketing administration staff are excepted service. Salaries, health insurance, TSP
                contributions and all other federal benefits are paid by the marketing order funds and as a result there are no costs to the
                Federal government. As a result, corresponding dollars are reported for presentation purposes only. For Federal funds for
                the Secretary's oversight responsibilities of Marketing Orders, please see AMS's Section 32 account.

             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 are
                financed by assessments on regulated handlers and partly by deductions from producers, which 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 for direct disbursement by the market administrator. A portion of the funds collected may be 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 2018 Budget requests $55 million in discretionary funds. In addition, RMA also plans to transfer $9 million from mandatory
                FCIC funding for reviews, compliance and integrity under section 516(b)(2)(C) to the S&E account in 2018. By transferring
                these funds into the S&E account, RMA will be able to use these funds more efficiently and flexibly to maintain operations.

             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 FCIC Fund account. The $55 million in funding
                in this account appropriately covers administrative activities for RMA. This funding is supplmented by $47 million in additional
                mandatory funding that is authorized in the Farm Bill and the Federal Crop Insurance Act for administrative and IT related
                costs. The $47 million in mandatory funds are spent directly out of the FCIC fund.

             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 available for more than 350 different commodities
                in over 3,066 counties covering all 50 states, and Puerto Rico. For the 2016 Crop Year, there were 1 million policies written
                with over $9.6 billion in premiums.

             Federal crop insurance policies are sold and serviced by 16 private crop insurance companies that share in the risk on the
                policies they sell under terms set out by USDA's Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA). The risk sharing is designed to be
                in favor of the companies, not one for one with the government. In most years the companies realize underwriting gains. In
                bad years, the companies' underwriting losses are minimalized because the government takes on more of the risk and ultimately
                back-stops the program after a certain level of loss. Currently, the government provides companies, on average, $1.1 billion
                a year in underwriting gains. In addition, the government pays the companies an Administrative and Operating (A&O) subsidy
                to offset the costs incurred to carry out the program. They are reimbursed on average for about 14 percent of the premiums
                sold. The government currently pays $1.4 billion annually for A&O. For the 2018 Budget, the payments to the companies are
                projected to be $2.5 billion in combined subsidies.

             The 2018 Budget requests funding to support $12.3 billion in obligations. Funding estimates for 2017 are based on an estimated
                .52 loss ratio and 2018 as well as the outyears 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. They also depend on the producer's average production history (APH). 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.

             Currently for revenue protection, the farmer can opt to cover the projected or the harvest price. Traditional revenue insurance
                only protects against a projected price, where the farmer is guaranteed a price at the time of planting. Revenue coverage
                that protects the price at the time of harvest guarantees the price to the farmer for the higher of the projected price or
                the harvest price. This additional revenue protection allows farmers to hedge against low prices at harvest. The harvest price
                protection policies are more costly than traditional revenue coverage and therefore more heavily subsidized by the government.
                Almost all farmers choose the harvest price option because taxpayers pay such a large portion of the extra premium.

             A crop insurance policy also contains coverage for when a producer is prevented from planting their crop due to weather and
                other perils. When an insured producer is unable to plant their crop within the planting time period because of excessive
                drought or moisture, they may file a prevented planting claim, which pays a portion of their full coverage level. It is optional
                for the producer to plant a second crop on the acres. If the producer does, the prevented planting claim on the first crop
                is reduced and the producer's Average Production History (APH) is updated to incorporate that year. If the producer does not
                plant a second crop, they get their full prevented planting claim, and their APH is not affected in subsequent years for premium

             The 2018 the Budget proposes to permanently cancel to Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA) and rescind the $4
                million in funds. 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, of which RMA receives 40 percent. This program is implemented by RMA,
                the Agricultural marketing Service, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The RMA 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 reduce their costs for crop insurance.

             The following table illustrates Crop Year statistics as of September 30, 2015. Crop Year is generally all activity for crops

             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 2017 and 2018.

             Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Fund

             (Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)
             The 2018 Budget includes two proposals that are designed to optimize the current crop insurance program so that it will continue
                to provide a quality safety net at a lower cost, as well as introduce a measure of means testing to the beneficiaries of the
                crop insurance subsidies:

             1. Limit Premium Subsidies for Crop Insurance. The 2018 Budget proposes to establish a limit of $40,000 for the premium subsidies
                an individual or entity may receive. It would reduce the generous subsidies that are arguably no longer necessary to encourage
                participation, as crop insurance is now an established part of the farm industry's business plans. The $40,000 limit in premium
                subsidy would apply to all levels of coverage, including catastrophic coverage.

             2. Eliminate Subsidized Harvest Price Revenue Coverage. The 2018 Budget also proposes to eliminate the ability for producers
                to insure their crops at the higher of the price projected at planting or the harvest price. Crop insurance was not designed
                to reduce risk in forward selling, and the Government should not bear the risk of such losses. Producers that want to hedge
                their risk can do so using futures and options on commodity exchanges as they did before this type of insurance coverage was
                available. Private sector insurance companies could offer harvest price protection as an addendum to the Federal crop insurance
                policy; however, the premium for such an addendum would not receive a premium subsidy nor would the premium be included in
                the A&O or underwriting gain/loss calculations for payments to the companies. This proposal maintains the crop insurance program
                as a tool for farmers to use as protection in times of low yields and low prices.

             In addition to these proposals, the 2018 Budget proposes to target commodity assistance, crop insurance subsidies, and conservation
                funding to those producers that have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $500,000 or less. It is hard to justify providing assistance
                to farmers with incomes over half a million dollars. Doing so undermines the credibility and the purpose of farm programs.
                Strengthening the income test for commodity, crop insurance, and conservation programs will improve their integrity. Collectively,
                the changes are expected to save $29 billion 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. 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, 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 Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Farm Bill).

             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 2018 Budget requests a total of $1.43 billion for administrative expenses.

             USDA's Service Center Agencies comprise FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Rural Development offices that 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 price loss coverage and agriculture
                risk coverage, 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; production under the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program; livestock under the Livestock Indemnity Program;
                and 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 RMA and FAS, 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 79 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. 113–079
                expires September 30, 2018. The 2018 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 Agricultural Act of 2014 re-authorized the Reimbursement Transportation Cost Payment Program for Geographically Disadvantaged
                Farmers and Ranchers (RTCP) program for FY 2012 and each succeeding fiscal year subject to appropriated funding. The purpose
                of RTCP is to offset a portion of the higher cost of transporting agricultural inputs and commodities over long distances.
                This program assists farmers and ranchers residing outside the 48 contiguous states that are at a competitive disadvantage
                when transporting agriculture products to the market. RTCP benefits are calculated based on the costs incurred by the producer
                for transportation of the agricultural commodity or inputs during a fiscal year, subject to an $8,000 per producer cap per
                fiscal year. RTCP enrollments for FY 2016 began on July 18, 2016, and ended on September 09, 2016. Payments for FY 2016 signup
                will be disbursed in FY 2017. No funding is requested in the 2018 Budget for this program.

             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 2018 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 2016, 33 States participated in ECP, with new or continued activity from the previous year,
                involving approximately $28.1 million in cost-share and technical assistance funds outlays. The Further Continuing and Security
                Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017 provided $103 million for disasters declared pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the
                Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. The 2018 Budget does not propose funding for this program.

             The Emergency Forest Restoration Program (EFRP) provides payments to eligible owners of non-industrial private forest for
                implementation of emergency measures to restore land damaged by a natural disaster. During 2016, 5 States participated in
                EFRP with new or continued activity from the previous year, involving approximately $4.7 million in cost-share and technical
                assistance fund outlays. The 2018 Budget does not include funding for EFRP.

             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
                2018 Budget proposes no funding for this program.

             Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund Program Account
             (including transfers of funds)For gross obligations for the principal amount of direct and guaranteed farm ownership (7 U.S.C. 1922 et seq.) and operating

                the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as follows: farm operating loans, $52,716,000 for direct operating loans, $15,467,000 for unsubsidized guaranteed operating loans, and emergency loans, $1,260,000, to remain available until expended.
          In addition, for administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs, $305,291,000, of which $297,386,000 shall be transferred to and merged with the appropriation for "Farm Service Agency, Salaries and Expenses".

          Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
             budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts

             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.  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 2018 Budget requests $69.4
                million for loan subsidies. The 2018 Budget requests a program level increase of $616.3 million over 2017 loan levels. Per
                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, 2018 Budget requests $305.3 million.

             Under the Dairy Indemnity Program, payments are made to farmers and manufacturers of dairy products who are directed to remove
                their milk or milk products from commercial markets because they contain residues of chemicals that have been registered and
                approved by the Federal Government, other chemicals, nuclear radiation, or nuclear fallout. Indemnification may also be paid
                for cows producing such milk. In 2016, $238,000 was paid to producers who filed claims under the program. The 2018 Budget

             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 (the 2014 Farm Bill) repeals certain programs, continues some programs with modifications, and
                authorizes several new programs. Most of these programs are authorized and funded through 2018.

                BUDGET ASSUMPTIONSThe 2017 and 2018 budget estimates are primarily driven by ample world grain supplies and modest demand growth that keep prices
                from returning to pre-2014 Farm Bill levels. Lower acreage coupled with modest increases in use is expected to stabilize or
                support small price increases in marketing years 2016/2017 and 2018/2019. Nonetheless, there will be significant Price Loss
                Coverage and Agriculture Risk Coverage payments. Outlay projections are subject to complex and unpredictable factors such
                as weather, U.S. and world consumer income growth, factors which affect the volume of production crops not yet planted, demands
                for feed, food, and bio-energy here and overseas, and foreign currency exchange rates and the value of the U.S. dollar overall.

                PROGRAMS OF THE CORPORATIONPrice 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. 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.

             Commodity Payment Programs.—The 2014 Farm Bill repealed Direct Payments, Counter-Cyclical Payments and Average Crop Revenue
                Election Payments and established two new programs, Price Loss Coverage and Agriculture Risk Coverage.

             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.

             Agriculture 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 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, Agriculture 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, became
                eligible for the new Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX) offered by the Risk Management Agency (RMA). Upland cotton was
                eligible for transition payments made by FSA only for the 2014 and 2015 crops.

             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 (eligible for loans only), 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 Consolidated Appropriations
                Act, 2016 (Public Law 114–113) amended the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, allowing producers to receive
                certificates in lieu of marketing loan gains or loan deficiency payments starting with the 2015 crop marketing year.

                DAIRY PROGRAMSThe Dairy Margin Protection Program. This program replaced the Milk Income Loss Contract program and will be effective from 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 Farm Bill 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.

                OTHER PROGRAMSNoninsured 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 authorized at
                $25 million per fiscal year.  The program is capped at $3 million.

             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 commodities
                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 in total to subsidize the production of bio-based jet fuel. Because
                there is no existing viable commercial 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.

                DISASTER PROGRAMSThe 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 October 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.

                FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMSMarket 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 PROGRAMSConservation 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").

                OPERATING EXPENSESThe 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; RMA; other agencies of the Department engaged in the Corporation's activities; and the Office of 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 2017 and 2018.

             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.

                FINANCINGAppropriations.—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.

             The 2018 President's Budget targets commodity assistance, crop insurance subsidies, and conservation assistance to producers
                that have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $500,000 or less. It is hard to justify to hardworking taxpayers why the Federal
                government should provide assistance to wealthy farmers with incomes over a half a million dollars. Doing so undermines the
                credibility and purpose of farm programs. The Budget also eliminates funding for a number of programs for which there is no
                Federal purpose, those programs include the Market Access Program, the Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program, and
                the Biomass Crop Assistance Program. In a time of belt tightening, the Government should not be subsidizing the advertising
                and promotion of commodities, or providing subsidies for the manufacturing of biobased products. Lastly, the Budget targets
                conservation funding to the most sensitive agricultural land, by maintaining acreage in the Conservation Reserve Program at
                the current statutory cap of 24 million acres, eliminating distortionary signing and practice incentive payments, and focusing
                near-term enrollment on higher-value continuous acreage.

             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 18 months. 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 2018 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 2018 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 1980s 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 also offers a micro-loan option for loans under
                $50,000 with three, five, or seven year repayment terms. 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 and extended in the 2014 Farm Bill, directs that CCC establish a sugar
                storage facility loan program to provide financing for processors of domestically produced sugarcane and sugar beets to construct
                or upgrade storage and handling facilities for raw sugars and refined sugars. The loan term is a minimum of seven years with
                the amount and terms being determined as any other commercial loan.

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

             Apple Loans Program Account

             The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized up to $5 million for the cost to provide loans to producers of apples
                for economic losses as the result of low prices. Although the program is funded through 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 Disaster Relief Trust Fund, established under Section 902 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008,
                administered by USDA Farm Service Agency, used to execute payments to farmers and ranchers under the following five disaster
                assistance programs: Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program, 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 Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, extended all but SURE and shifted the funding authority
                for these disaster programs from the Agriculture Disaster Relief Trust Fund to the Commodity Credit Corporation. In FY 2016,
                the outlays are due to residual payments, corrections and/or appeals to obligations incurred during crop years 2008–2011.
                Obligations in 2017 will be still be required to make residual payments for disaster programs under the Disaster Trust authority.

             The Pima Agriculture Cotton Trust Fund was authorized under Section 12314 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill,
                to reduce the economic injury to domestic manufacturers resulting from tariffs on cotton fabric that are higher than tariffs
                on certain apparel articles made of cotton fabric. Mandatory funding as established in the Farm Bill is $16 million annually
                from 2014 to 2018, to be transferred from funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation.

             The 2018 President's Budget eliminates funding for a number of programs, including the Pima Cotton Trust Fund. In a time of
                belt tightening, the Government should not be singling out select commodities for special assistance. Furthermore, there is
                no reason the Federal government should be providing the majority of the $8 million that is made available for manufacturers
                of cotton shirts to one manufacturer.

             The Agriculture Wool Apparel Manufacturers Trust Fund was authorized under Section 12315 of the Agricultural Act of 2014,
                the 2014 Farm Bill, to reduce the economic injury to domestic manufacturers resulting from tariffs on wool fabric that are
                higher than tariffs on certain apparel articles made of wool fabric. Mandatory funding as established in the Farm Bill is
                the lesser of the amount the Secretary determines to be necessary to make payments in that year or $30 million each year from
                2014 to 2019, to be transferred from funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation.

             The 2018 President's Budget eliminates funding for a number of programs, including the Agriculture Wool Apparel Manufacturers
                Trust Fund. In a time of belt tightening, the Government should not be singling out select commodities for special assistance.

             The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) supports the rural economy and helps private landowners and producers 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. NRCS provides additional science-based 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 requested in the Private Lands Conservation Operations
                account, and by mandatory funding in the Farm Security and Rural Investment account. NRCS comprises over 10,000 employees
                across a wide range of natural resource backgrounds such as soil and rangeland conservation, wildlife biology, forestry and
                engineering. Through this collective conservationist workforce, the Administration strives to protect the natural resource
                base on private lands. The 2018 Budget requests a total of $766 million for Private Lands Conservation Operations.

             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 CTA Program also provides the science-based tools that support conservation planning.

             In addition to technical assistance for conservation planning provided through the CTA Program, 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 Programs. 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 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.

             Snow survey and water supply forecasting.—NRCS field staff and cooperators collect and analyze data on snow depth, snow water equivalent, and other climate parameters
                at approximately 2,000 remote, high elevation data collection sites. The water supply forecasts are used by individual farmers
                and ranchers; water resource managers; Federal, State, and local government agencies; municipal and industrial water providers;
                hydroelectric power generation utilities; irrigation districts; fish and wildlife management agencies; reservoir project managers;
                recreationists; Tribal Nations; and the countries of Canada and Mexico.

             Operation of Plant Material Centers (PMCs). NRCS's network of 25 PMCs identify, evaluate, and demonstrate the performance
                of plants and plant technologies to help solve natural resource problems and improve the utilization of our nation's natural
                resources. PMCs continue to build on their long and successful history of releasing plants for resource conservation, which
                has been instrumental in increasing the commercial availability of appropriate plant materials for the public. PMC plants
                and plant technologies contribute to reducing soil erosion; increasing cropland soil health and productivity; restoring wetlands,
                improving water quality, improving wildlife habitat (including pollinators); protecting streambank and riparian areas; stabilizing
                coastal dunes; producing forage; improving air quality; and addressing other conservation treatment needs.

             The studies conducted by PMCs help provide a basis for NRCS vegetative recommendations and conservation practices. The work
                performed by the PMC staff ensures that NRCS conservation practices are scientifically-based, improves the knowledge of NRCS
                field staff through PMC-led training sessions and demonstrations, and results in recommendations to meet new and emerging
                natural resource issues. The work at PMCs is carried out cooperatively with State and Federal agencies, universities, Tribes,
                commercial businesses, and seed and nursery associations. PMC activities directly benefit private landowners as well as Federal
                and State land managing 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 2018 Budget's baseline beyond 2018 based
                upon scorekeeping conventions.

             In 2018, the Administration proposes to show the total staff resources necessary to implement its private lands conservation
                program in the Private Lands Conservation Operations account. Importantly, this new display will not alter the current authorities
                under which staff resources are provided through mandatory and discretionary funding. This account will continue to show the
                funding provided for the financial assistance costs necessary for delivering the following programs:

             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 2018 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.  EQIP promotes the voluntary application of land-based conservation practices and activities that maintain
                or improve the condition of the soil, water, plants, and air; conserve energy; and address other natural resource concerns.
                Eligible land includes cropland, rangeland, pastureland, private nonindustrial forestland, tribal land, and other farm or
                ranch lands. The land must have an identified natural resource concern that poses a serious threat to soil, water, air, or
                related resources by reason of land use practices, soil type, terrain, climatic conditions, topography, flooding, saline characteristics,
                or other natural resource factors. In 2018, the Budget proposes $1.4 billion for this program and proposes to permanently
                cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2018.

             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 2018 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 2018 Budget proposes
                $1.5 billion for this program to enroll the authorized level of 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 2018 Budget does not propose funding 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 Agricultural Act of 2014 reauthorized the program, and the 2018 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 2018 Budget assumes that
                the program extends beyond 2018 in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. For 2018, the Budget includes the authorized level
                of funding for ACEP at $250 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 2018 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 for obligation between 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, 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 2018 Budget proposes to permanently cancel
                funding for this program.

             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 2018, 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, non-governmental organizations 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.

             In addition to targeting conservation payments to those farmers with an Adjusted Gross Income of $500,000 or less, the Budget
                proposes to increase working agricultural land and easement programs by providing an additional $250 million per year for
                the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and an additional $450 million per year for the Agricultural Conservation Easement
                Program.  The Budget proposes to offset these program increases by eliminating new enrollment in the Conservation Stewardship
                Program and the funding for the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).  The Administration supports the goals of
                the RCPP and will evaluate alternative mechanisms such as regulatory reform or legislative flexibility that would support
                a similar public-private partnership-based approach to conservation work.

             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.  The Further Continuing and Security Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017, provides $103.1 million
                for the Emergency Watershed Protection Program. Funding for the Emergency Watershed Protection Program is typically provided
                through emergency supplemental appropriations.  The 2018 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.  The 2018 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.  NRCS is closing out small watershed
                operations projects started prior to 2011 with unobligated balances from prior years. The 2018 budget does not request funding
                for this program.

             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 2018.

             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.  No funding is requested in the 2018 Budget, reflecting the Administration's
                position that the maintenance, repair, and operation of these dams are the responsibility of local project sponsors. The Budget
                proposes to permanently cancel $61 million of mandatory funds provided prior to 2010 (see General Provisions for the Department
                of Agriculture).

             Resource Conservation and Development

             Healthy Forests Reserve Program

             Title V of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (Public Law 108–148) authorized the establishment of the Healthy Forests
                Reserve Program (HFRP). This program assists landowners in restoring, enhancing and protecting forest ecosystems to: 1) promote
                the recovery of threatened and endangered species; 2) improve biodiversity; and 3) enhance carbon sequestration.

             Administered by NRCS, HFRP is a voluntary program with enrollment eligible only to privately-held land. 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 are candidates for the threatened or endangered species list. Technical assistance is provided by USDA to
                assist owners in complying with the terms of restoration plans under HFRP.

             The 2018 Budget does not request funding for HFRP.

                States; and to secure recreational and environmental benefits for the Nation.  No funding is requested in the 2018 Budget
                for this program.

             The 2018 Budget requests a new consolidated Rural Economic Infrastructure Grants account. The following programs are part
                of this account:

              The Distance Learning and Telemedicine (DLT) grant program is specifically designed to meet the educational and health care needs of rural America through the use of advanced telecommunications
                technologies. Advanced telecommunications services play a vital role in the economic development, education, and health care
                of rural Americans. The DLT program provides grants for the deployment of equipment utilized in providing distance learning
                and telemedicine services to rural schools, educational institutions and health care providers. The DLT program assists rural
                schools and learning centers in gaining access to improved educational resources, and assists rural hospitals and health care
                centers in gaining access to improved medical resources. Projects funded under the program are providing new and improved
                health care services and benefits to rural residents, many in medically underserved areas, by linking to urban medical centers
                for clinical interactive video consultation, distance training of rural health care providers, and access to medical expertise
                and library resources. Distance learning projects provide funding for internet-based educational services in schools and libraries
                and promote confidence in, and understanding of, the internet and its benefits to students and young entrepreneurs.

              The Community Connect grant program provides financial assistance in the form of grants to eligible applicants that will provide, on a "community-oriented connectivity"
                basis, broadband service that fosters economic growth and delivers enhanced educational, health care, and public safety benefits.
                The provision of broadband service is vital to the economic development, education, health, and safety of rural Americans.
                Priority is given to the most rural and economically challenged communities. Specific areas being addressed currently include
                communities and areas that are unserved by broadband. One major goal of the program is to provide all critical community facilities
                in a service area with free access to broadband internet for two years.

              The Section 504 Housing Repair grant program funds home repairs and improvements with grants of up to $7,500 that resolve health and safety hazards for very low-income
                elderly rural homeowners.

              The Community Facility (CF) grant program offers competitive grants to help rural communities build or improve community infrastructure and essential community facilities
                for public use in rural communities of 20,000 or less. CF programs have the flexibility to finance more than 100 separate
                types of essential community facilities. Strengthening investment in rural community infrastructure is critical for spurring
                economic growth, creating jobs and improving access to healthcare, education, public safety and other critical facilities
                and services.

             This consolidation of these grants into one account will provide the Administration with the flexibility to place resources
                where the maximum impact can be made for economic infrastructure development. The 2018 Budget proposes $162 million for this
                account, with $80 million of the funds specifically targeted to communities located in Appalachia.

             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. Funding in the 2018 Budget is being requested under
                the Rural Economic Infrastructure Grants account.

             For other housing assistance grants authorized for funding in this account such as housing preservation grants and 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 2018 Budget.

                Act of 1949, $1,345,293,000; 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 one-year
                period: Provided further, That any unexpended balances remaining at the end of such one-year agreements may be transferred and used for 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 2018 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: Provided further, That except as provided in the third proviso under this heading and notwithstanding any other provision of the Act, the Secretary may recapture rental assistance
                provided under agreements entered into prior to fiscal year 2018 for a project that the Secretary determines no longer needs rental assistance and use such recaptured funds for current needs.

             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. For 2018, the request
                for rental assistance grants is for contracts for up to one year, with one-year availability, with a total funding level of
                $1.35 billion. Rural Development is committed to maintaining a sustainable rental assistance program.

             From 1978 through 1991, the rental assistance program was funded under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund (RHIF). Beginning
                in 1992, pursuant to Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established for this program. Prior year obligations are
                funded with "such sums" amounts to cover those pre-credit reform contracts in RHIF.

             Multi-family housing revitalization program accountFor the rural housing voucher program as authorized under section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949, but notwithstanding subsection
                (b) of such section, $20,000,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That the funds made available under this heading 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 in addition to any other available funds, the Secretary may expend not more than $1,000,000 total, from the program
                funds made available under this heading, for administrative expenses for activities funded under this heading.
          Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
             budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
             included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

             USDA's portfolio of multi-family 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 $20 million in 2018 for housing vouchers for residents of projects whose sponsors prepay
                their outstanding indebtedness on USDA loans and leave the program. The vouchers related to prepayments will be awarded based
                on prioritization of need as determined by the Secretary. No funding is requested in the 2018 Budget for the multi-family
                housing revitalization pilot program. The 2018 Budget also includes language to permanently cancel $4 million in unobligated
                balances from this account.

                Grants program is being requested under the Rural Economic Infrastructure Grants account.

             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 2018 Budget requests $147.6 million.

             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 2018, the Section 502 single family housing guarantees are requested at a $24 billion loan level. The subsidy rate for
                2018 continues to be negative with the combination annual and up-front fee structure.

             The Budget requests a loan level of $10 million for credit sales of acquired property for single family housing loans. No
                funding is requested for Section 502 single family housing direct loans, Section 515 multi-family housing direct loans, Section
                504 very low-income housing repair loans, Section 524 site development loans, Section 523 self-help housing land development
                loans, nor credit sales of acquired property for multi-family housing.

             The 2018 Budget also requests a $250 million loan level 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.

             No funding is requested in the 2018 Budget for the farm labor housing loans and grants. In addition, the 2018 Budget includes
                language to permanently cancel $4 million in unobligated farm labor housing program balances from this account.

             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 2018 Budget requests $244.2 million.

             The purpose of the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels is to provide payments to eligible agricultural producers to support
                and ensure an expanding production of advanced biofuels. This program is authorized pursuant to section 9005 of the Farm Security
                and Rural Investment Act of 2002, as amended by the Agricultural Act of 2014. For 2018, the Agricultural Act of 2014 provides
                $15 million in mandatory funds for this account.

             The account also includes funding for Repowering Assistance payments. The purpose of this program is to encourage biorefineries
                to replace fossil fuel used to produce heat or power to operate the biorefineries. This program was authorized pursuant to
                section 9004 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, as amended by the Agricultural Act of 2014. The Budget
                does not request discretionary funding in 2018 for either program.

             Rural cooperative development grants
          Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
             budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
             included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

             Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development
                Act by Public Law 104–127, April 4, 1996. These grants are made available to nonprofit corporations and institutions of higher
                education to fund the establishment and operation of centers for rural cooperative development.  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.  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 2018 Budget eliminates
                these programs because they have not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such as economic growth and decreasing
                out-migration.

             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 2018 Budget eliminates this program because it has not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such
                as economic growth and decreasing out-migration. The 2018 Budget also includes language to permanently cancel $176 million
                in unobligated balances from this account.

             This account funds direct and guaranteed business and industry loans, and rural business development grants. Business and
                industry guaranteed 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. The 2018 Budget eliminates these programs
                because they have not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such as economic growth and decreasing out-migration.
                The Budget also proposes to cancel $25 million in unobligated balances from this account.

             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 2018 Budget eliminates this program because it has not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes;
                such as economic growth and decreasing out-migration.

             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.

                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 2018 Budget
                eliminates this program because it has not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such as economic growth and decreasing
                out-migration.

             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.

                      1

              The Rural Business Investment Program was authorized by section 6029 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002,
                Public Law 107–171. As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy
                costs associated with the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value
                basis. The 2018 Budget eliminates this program because it has not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such as
                economic growth and decreasing out-migration.

             The Biorefinery Assistance Program provides loan guarantees to fund the development, construction, and retrofitting of commercial-scale
                advanced biorefineries. The 2018 Budget does not request discretionary funding for this program. The Biorefinery Assistance
                Program is authorized under section 9003 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002; as amended by the Food, Conservation,
                and Energy Act of 2008, as amended by the American Taxpayers Relief Act of 2012, and as amended by the Agricultural Act of
                2014. Loan assumptions reflect an illustrative example for informational purposes only. The assumptions will be determined
                at the time of execution and will reflect the actual terms and conditions of the loan guarantee contracts. The 2018 Budget
                includes language to permanently cancel $175 million from mandatory unobligated balances.

             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 2018 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.

             Water and waste disposal grants are authorized under Section 306(a)(2) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act,
                as amended. Grants are authorized to be made to associations, including nonprofit corporations, municipalities, counties,
                public and quasi-public agencies, and certain Indian tribes. The grants can be used to finance development, storage, treatment,
                purification, or distribution of water or the collection, treatment, or disposal of waste in rural areas and cities or towns
                with populations of less than 10,000. The amount of any development grant may not exceed 75 percent of the eligible development
                cost of the project.

             Emergency community water assistance grants are authorized under Section 306A of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development
                Act, as amended. Grants are made to public bodies and nonprofit organizations for construction or 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 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 $5.5 billion for the electric direct FFB loan program, $345 million for
                the telecommunications Treasury loan program, and $345 million for the telecommunications FFB loan program.

             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 2018 Budget request proposes to eliminate the interest accrual on future deposits in the Rural Utilities Service borrowers'
                "cushion of credit" accounts, as well as the interest that is paid to the Rural Economic Development Grant Account to pay
                for rural economic development grants and loans. This change is consistent with the President's Budget request, which eliminates
                rural business programs.

             The Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) completed dissolution in 2006, therefore no federally funded RTB loans are proposed.
             As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for the RTB, the subsidy costs associated with
                the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

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

             Since there is little demand for the Distance Learning, Telemedicine (DLT) loans, the Budget proposes no funding for DLT loans
                in 2018. The Budget proposes $4.5 million to support $27 million in Broadband loans.  Funding in the 2018 Budget for DLT and
                Broadband grants is being requested under the Rural Economic Infrastructure Grants account.

             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 2018 Budget includes $188 million for FAS. For more information on FAS's mission
                and program topic areas, please visit http://www.fas.usda.gov/topics.

             Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

             The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers Program was reauthorized and modified by the American Recovery and Reinvestment
                Act of 2009 as established by Subtitle C of Title I of the Trade Act of 2002, which amended the Trade Act of 1974. The 2018
                Budget does not request funding for the program.

             FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

             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.

             1The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 and the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017, provided $5 million within
             McGovern-Dole that can be used for Local and Regional Food Aid Procurement.2Includes $250 million provided through section 748 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2016 and the Further Continuing
             Appropriations Act, 2017.3Assets of the trust can be released any time the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development determines
             that P.L. 480 Title II funding for emergency needs are inadequate to meet these needs in any fiscal year.
             Included in this category are the following activities carried out under Public Law 480 (P.L. 480):
             Financing sales of agricultural commodities to developing countries for dollars on credit terms, or for local currencies (including
                   for local currencies on credit terms) for use under sec 104; and for furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress
                   Act of 1985, as amended (Title I).—Funds appropriated for P.L. 480 Title I since FY 2006 are used to finance all sales made pursuant to agreements concluded
                under the authority of Title I. No 2018 funding is requested for new direct credit under Title I; however, funding for administrative
                expenses associated with managing the existing loan portfolio is requested.

             Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad (Title II).—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. 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 Commodity Credit Corporation (the Corporation) is authorized to pay the costs of acquisition, packaging, processing, enrichment,
                preservation, fortification, transportation, handling, and other incidental costs incurred up to the time of delivery at U.S.
                ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight charges, and pays transportation costs to points of entry other than ports
                in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific country are not available, where ports cannot be used effectively,
                or where a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and pays general average contributions arising from ocean
                transport. In addition, transportation costs from designated points of entry or ports of entry abroad to storage and distribution
                sites and associated storage and distribution costs may be paid for commodities made available to meet urgent and extraordinary
                relief requirements. P.L. 480 funds reimburse the Corporation for all of the cost items authorized above. The 2018 Budget
                proposes to eliminate the program.

             mcgovern-dole international food for education and child nutrition program grants
          Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
             budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
             included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

             The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program, as amended, is authorized under the Farm Security
                and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107–171). The program provides for the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities
                and associated technical and financial assistance to carry out preschool and school feeding programs in foreign countries
                . Maternal, infant, and child nutrition programs also are authorized. The 2018 Budget proposes to eliminate the program because
                it is duplicative of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) programs, lacks evidence that it is being effectively
                implemented, and has unaddressed oversight and performance monitoring challenges. During the 15-year operation of McGovern-Dole,
                auditors have found oversight weaknesses as reported by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), independent consultants,
                and the Department of Agriculture's Office of Inspector General.  In the most recent GAO report in 2011, the GAO found weaknesses
                in performance monitoring, program evaluations, and prompt closeouts of agreements. Weak performance monitoring cannot accurately
                show whether program objectives are achieved and ensure that sustainability is ultimately reached in the communities served
                once agreements close. While the GAO recommendations have technically been addressed, USDA is not able to provide evidence
                of substantive impacts on the nutrition of recipients.

             As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for the P.L. 480 Program, the subsidy costs associated
                with the direct credit obligated in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct credit agreements that resulted from
                obligation in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
                value basis; and the administrative expenses and grants are estimated on a cash basis. The current balance of Title I debt
                owed to USDA is $3.4 billion. No additional funding is requested for new Title I credit financing in 2018. The 2018 Budget
                includes $149,000 for administrative expenses.

             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 SNAP; 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.

             The President's Budget includes a number of legislative proposals that are designed to target benefits to those who need them
                while ensuring careful stewardship of taxpayers' money. This suite of proposals includes standardizing how States account
                for utility costs and aligning the treatment of actual out-of-pocket expenses for low income households. The Budget also seeks
                to ensure that those who can work, do work by limiting the use of waivers that exempt able-bodied adults without dependents
                from work requirements. The Budget improves consistency across safety net programs by aligning income and asset limits and
                eliminating loopholes. The Budget also proposes to alter the program's funding structure by requiring States to cover, on
                average, 25 percent of SNAP benefits, phased in between 2020 and 2023, offering new flexibilities and creating an incentive
                for States to manage benefit costs as they make operational choices available to them under the law. The President's Budget
                includes proposals to manage the cost of the program by eliminating the minimum benefit now provided to those who would otherwise
                qualify for less, and by setting an overall limit for a household's benefit at the current maximum for a household of six.
                Finally, the President's Budget includes a proposal to collect a modest certification fee from retailers who also benefit
                from participating in SNAP. These fees would be scaled by retailer size and would help offset the overall cost of the program.

             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, targeted to low-income elementary schools,
                provides fresh fruits and vegetables at no charge to children during the school day. The 2018 Budget will support almost 5.4
                billion lunches and snacks served to 31 million children in the NSLP, almost 2.6 billion breakfasts served to more than 15
                million children in the SBP, and over 2.2 billion meals and snacks served in day care facilities.

             This account funds the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), The Senior
                Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP), 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 the SFMNP, which provides low-income elderly
                participants with vouchers to purchase produce at farmers' markets. The Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is funded
                by a transfer from the Commodity Credit Corporation.

             The 2018 Budget requests $259,000,000 for Forest and Rangeland Research (Forest Service R&D). Funding requested maintains
                an essential level of basic research associated with the Priority Research Areas and Strategic Program Areas, while also providing
                $77 million for the Forest Inventory and Analysis program to continue to implement the annualized inventory program in all
                50 States (including interior Alaska), the affiliated Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

             Forest Service R&D is federally mandated to provide new knowledge and technologies to support sustainable management of the
                Nation's forests and rangelands, sustain jobs and provide environmental, social and economic benefits including healthy watersheds,
                forest products, wildlife protection, outdoor recreation , and other benefits , across all U.S. territories and States. Forest
                Service R&D accomplishes this mandate through ecological and social science research to understand ecosystems, how humans
                influence those ecosystems, and how forests can be managed sustainably to support both environmental conservation and economic
                opportunities. These research products and services increase the basic biological and physical knowledge base of the composition,
                structure, and function of forest and grassland ecosystems. 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 2018 Budget sustains the outputs and products on which land managers depend for developing
                management options, strategies, and systems for addressing current issues.

             The 2018 Budget requests $1,747,442,000 for the National Forest System (NFS) for the stewardship and management of the system's
                193 million acres of national forests and grasslands. This includes the 154 national forests and 20 national grasslands, located
                in 44 States and Puerto Rico, and 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 2018 Budget prioritizes funding of programs designed to increase the health and resilience of the national forests and
                grasslands, while also meeting the multiple use requirements for the resources on our Nation's forests and grasslands. In
                doing so, the Hazardous Fuels program has been moved from the Wildland Fire Management appropriation to the National Forest
                System. Most hazardous fuels work takes place on National Forest System lands, and the Forest Service will be able to administer
                this program more efficiently and effectively as a part of the National Forest System.

             The request for Hazardous Fuels provides funding for treatment of hazardous fuels within the wildland-urban interface, and
                highest priority areas of NFS lands and adjacent State and private lands. 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 will be focused on the most strategic acres, 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 wildfire; providing a safer environment for wildland fire management operations; and supporting communities
                that are working to achieve Firewise standards and 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. 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.

             The overall objective of all NFS program activities is to reestablish and retain the resilience of NFS lands, to achieve sustainable
                management and use, and to provide a broad range of ecosystem services. In 2018, this includes additional Budget support for
                Law Enforcement Operations to clean up and reclaim illegal marijuana grow sites on NFS lands.

             The 2018 Budget reflects an emphasis on Forest Service program performance and accountability agency-wide and delivering critical
                services more efficiently. 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

             The 2018 Budget requests $118,010,000 for State and Private Forestry. State and Private Forestry programs provide technical
                assistance to landowners and resource managers to help sustain forests on State and private lands, in both rural and urban
                areas, and protect communities and the natural environment from wildland fires, tree pests and diseases, and invasive plants.
                These programs also help facilitate sound resource stewardship by providing tools to address forest health threats on a landscape
                scale, while maintaining the flexibility for individual forest landowners to pursue their objectives.

             Forest Health Management.—Funds Federal and cooperative lands to maintain healthy, productive ecosystems by preventing, detecting, and suppressing
                damaging native and invasive insect infestations and tree diseases across all land ownership jurisdictions, and invasive plants
                on cooperative lands. Based on a science-based forest health risk map, the 2018 Budget allocates funding to address national
                priorities and reduce risk for landscape damage 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
                capacity to continue to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, improve water quality and quantity and increase carbon
                sequestration.

             Cooperative Forestry.—Funds the Forest Stewardship Program, which provides professional forestry assistance to landowners to encourage sound environmental
                management of non-industrial private forest lands. Cooperative forestry activities help maintain the integrity of our Nation's
                valuable forested landscapes and supports the Federal interest in obtaining and preserving for the public an array of social,
                economic, and environmental benefits from privately owned forests. The Forest Service will track how cooperative funds are
                targeted to priority areas and themes identified in State Forest Action Plans.

             International Forestry.—Assists agencies whose missions are centrally focused on international issues with natural resource conservation.

             Management of national forest lands for subsistence usesFor necessary expenses of the Forest Service to manage Federal lands in Alaska for subsistence uses under title VIII of the
                Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (Public Law 96–487), $2,225,000, to remain available until expended.
          Note.—A full-year 2017 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
             budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114–254). The amounts
             included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

             The 2018 Budget requests $2,495,038,000 for Wildland Fire Management (WFM) for Forest Service fire preparedness, fire suppression
                operations, fire research and development, and cooperative fire programs on National Forest System lands, adjacent State and
                private lands, and other lands under fire protection agreements.

             Preparedness.—To ensure agency capability to protect life, property, and natural resources while assuring an appropriate, risk informed,
                and effective initial attack 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 lands, and other Federal, State, and private lands from
                damaging wildfires, thus 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 including 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. Starting in FY 2018, Forest Service firefighters will use
                the same business rule as the Department of the Interior and charge all base hours (the first eight hours of each day) to
                Preparedness and, when fighting fires, and charge any hours over eight per day to Suppression.

             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.

             Hazardous Fuels.— The hazardous fuels program has been moved from the Wildland Fire Management request to the National Forest System request.
                Most hazardous fuels work takes place on National Forest System lands, and the Forest Service will be able to administer this
                program more efficiently and effectively as a part of the National Forest System.

             Suppression.—Risk-informed extended attack suppression operations at wildland fires on or threatening NFS lands, other Federal lands,
                and 20 million acres of non-Federal lands under fire protection agreements. The 2018 Budget proposes funding 100 percent of
                the 10-year average of suppression expenditures, which is $1,056,818,000 .

             Wildfires continue to be larger and more difficult to suppress due to the effects of persistent drought, hazardous fuels conditions,
                and the increased size and complexity of housing and commercial development 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:

             — 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.

             Note: The 10-year average has been rebaselined for 2018. That is, per the Preparedness narrative above, Base 8 expenditures
                   are proposed to be accounted for in Preparedness and not in Suppression. Based on this change and adherence to established
                   business rules, actual obligations for 2007–2016 have been adjusted and the Base 8 expenditures over the past 10 years were
                   removed from the 10-year average suppression expenditure calculation.
             Fire Operations, Other.—The Other Fire Operations programs include National Fire Plan Research and Development, State Fire Assistance, and Volunteer
                Fire Assistance. Funding will focus on research and technology transfer activities, and providing vital support to assist
                local communities and State foresters to 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, and (2) purchase
                and maintain firefighting equipment. Funding also supports training, planning, and fire prevention, and education programs.

             In 2010 through 2016, amounts in the FLAME Fund included the portion of the ten-year average of suppression obligations, adjusted
                for inflation, intended to support the most severe, complex, and threatening fires. The Secretary may permit transfers from
                this account to cover these extreme fire events. The Secretary may also transfer funds in the event the Forest Service has
                exhausted its suppression resources due to an active fire season.  In 2018, the Budget proposes to discontinue funding requests
                in the FLAME account.  Funding for all wildfire suppression activities is requested in the Wildland Fire Management account.
                The FLAME account will be closed out when the current balance is drawn down.

             The 2018 Budget requests $2,065,000 for the Range Betterment Fund and is commensurate with expected grazing fee receipts.
                Fifty percent of fees from permitted grazing on national forests in 16 western States, once appropriated, are used to protect
                and improve rangeland productivity, primarily through revegetation, and construction, reconstruction, and maintenance of rangeland
                improvements under authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1751), as amended. This program
                emphasizes essential structural and non-structural improvements prescribed in grazing allotment management plans and other
                project plans as developed according to the National Environmental Policy Act. Treatment of invasive plant species related
                to permitted livestock use continues to be a priority for non-structural rangeland improvement work, such as fencing for proper
                livestock management and vegetation management for restoring rangelands to healthy conditions.

             Stewardship Contracting.—The Forest Service may enter into stewardship agreements or contracts for projects to achieve land management goals and
                meet local and rural community needs. Stewardship contracting product sales enable the Forest Service to apply the value of
                timber or other forest products from stewardship sales as an offset against the costs to accomplish land and resource management
                objectives. If the offset value of timber or other forest products exceeds the value of the resource improvement treatments,
                those sales receipts are retained and deposited in the Stewardship Contracting Fund, and are available until expended for
                other authorized stewardship projects. This authority was reauthorized permanently, pursuant to P.L. 113–79, Agricultural
                Act of 2014.

             The 2018 Budget requests $8,042,000 for the Land Acquisition accounts. This heading consolidates land acquisition authorities
                for acquisition of lands, waters, or interest therein, as authorized by law. The Budget will provide funding for land acquisition
                through the Land and Water Conservation Fund to manage the acquisition of high-priority forests and grasslands using prior-year
                funds.

             Land Acquisition.—Lands and other interests are acquired adjacent to areas of the National Forest System for such purposes as outdoor recreation,
                wilderness management, wildlife habitat conservation, watershed protection and enhancement, resource management, and land
                consolidation.

             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, in Utah; the Toiyabe, in Nevada; and the Angeles, Cleveland,
                San Bernardino, and Sequoia, in 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 the National Forest System or 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 and grasslands 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).

             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 including national forests, research experiment stations, other Forest Service units, and
                to other federal and non-federal agencies, at rates which recover the cost of operation, repair and maintenance, management,
                and depreciation. The rental rates also include an increment which, when added to depreciation cost recovery 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,
                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. 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.

          Any appropriations or funds available to the Forest Service may be transferred to the Wildland Fire Management appropriation
                for forest firefighting, emergency rehabilitation of burned-over or damaged lands or waters under its jurisdiction, and fire
                preparedness due to severe burning conditions upon the Secretary's notification of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
                that all fire suppression funds appropriated under the heading "Wildland Fire Management"  will be obligated within 30 days.
          Funds appropriated to the Forest Service shall be available for assistance to or through the Agency for International Development
                in connection with forest and rangeland research, technical information, and assistance in foreign countries, and shall be
                available to support forestry and related natural resource activities outside the United States and its territories and possessions,
                including technical assistance, education and training, and cooperation with U.S., private, and international organizations.
                The Forest Service, acting for the International Program, may sign direct funding agreements with foreign governments and
                institutions as well as other domestic agencies (including the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Department of
                State, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation), U.S. private sector firms, institutions and organizations to provide technical

          None of the funds made available to the Forest Service in this Act or any other Act with respect to any fiscal year shall
                be subject to transfer under the provisions of section 702(b) of the Department of Agriculture Organic Act of 1944 (7 U.S.C.
                2257), section 442 of Public Law 106–224 (7 U.S.C. 7772), or section 10417(b) of Public Law 107–171 (7 U.S.C. 8316(b)).
          None of the funds available to the Forest Service may be reprogrammed without the advance notification to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations in accordance with the reprogramming procedures contained in the explanatory
                statement accompanying this Act.

                Department of Agriculture and not more than $14,500,000 of funds available to the Forest Service shall be transferred to the
                Department of Agriculture for Department Reimbursable Programs, commonly referred to as Greenbook charges. Nothing in this
                paragraph shall prohibit or limit the use of reimbursable agreements requested by the Forest Service in order to obtain services
                from the Department of Agriculture's National Information Technology Center and the Department of Agriculture's International
                Technology Service.
          Of the funds available to the Forest Service, up to $5,000,000 shall be available for priority projects within the scope of
                the approved budget, which shall be carried out by the Youth Conservation Corps and shall be carried out under the authority
                of the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993, Public Law 103–82, as amended by Public Lands Corps Healthy Forests Restoration Act
                of 2005, Public Law 109–154.
          Of the funds available to the Forest Service, $4,000 is available to the Chief of the Forest Service for official reception
                and representation expenses.
          Pursuant to sections 405(b) and 410(b) of Public Law 101–593, of the funds available to the Forest Service, up to $3,000,000
                may be advanced in a lump sum to the National Forest Foundation to aid conservation partnership projects in support of the
                Forest Service mission, without regard to when the Foundation incurs expenses, for projects on or benefitting National Forest
                System lands or related to Forest Service programs: Provided, That of the Federal funds made available to the Foundation, no more than $300,000 shall be available for administrative
                expenses: Provided further, That the Foundation shall obtain, by the end of the period of Federal financial assistance, private contributions to match
                funds made available by the Forest Service on at least a one-for-one basis: Provided further, That the Foundation may transfer Federal funds to a Federal or a non-Federal recipient for a project at the same rate that
                the recipient has obtained the non-Federal matching funds.
          Pursuant to section 2(b)(2) of Public Law 98–244, up to $3,000,000 of the funds available to the Forest Service may be advanced
                to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation in a lump sum to aid cost-share conservation projects, without regard to when
                expenses are incurred, on or benefitting National Forest System lands or related to Forest Service programs: Provided, That such funds shall be matched on at least a one-for-one basis by the Foundation or its sub-recipients: Provided further, That the Foundation may transfer Federal funds to a Federal or non-Federal recipient for a project at the same rate that
                the recipient has obtained the non-Federal matching funds.
          Funds appropriated to the Forest Service shall be available for interactions with and providing technical assistance to rural
                communities and natural resource-based businesses for sustainable rural development purposes.
          Funds appropriated to the Forest Service shall be available for payments to counties within the Columbia River Gorge National
                Scenic Area, pursuant to section 14(c)(1) and (2), and section 16(a)(2) of Public Law 99–663.
          Any funds appropriated to the Forest Service may be used to meet the non-Federal share requirement in section 502(c) of the
                Older Americans Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3056(c)(2)).
          Funds available to the Forest Service, not to exceed $65,000,000, shall be assessed for the purpose of performing fire, administrative
                and other facilities maintenance and decommissioning. Such assessments shall occur using a square foot rate charged on the
                same basis the agency uses to assess programs for payment of rent, utilities, and other support services.
          Notwithstanding any other provision of law, of any appropriations or funds available to the Forest Service, not to exceed $500,000 may be used to reimburse the Office of the General Counsel (OGC), Department of Agriculture, for travel
                and related expenses incurred as a result of OGC assistance or participation requested by the Forest Service at meetings,
                training sessions, management reviews, land purchase negotiations and similar  matters unrelated to civil litigation. Future budget justifications for both the Forest Service and the Department of Agriculture should clearly display the sums
                previously transferred and the sums requested for transfer.
          An eligible individual who is employed in any project funded under title V of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. 3056
                et seq.) and administered by the Forest Service shall be considered to be a Federal employee for purposes of chapter 171 of
                title 28, United States Code.

          Federal Funds
             Marketing Orders and Agreements Fees

             The Administration proposes establishing an Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) user fee to cover the full costs of the agency's
                oversight of Marketing Orders and Agreements. Marketing Orders and Agreements are initiated by industry to help provide stable
                markets, and are tailored to the specific industry's needs. For example, milk marketing orders help assure a minimum price
                for dairy products, while Marketing Orders and Agreements for fruits, vegetables and other specialty crops help control supply
                and ensure that produce on the market maintains high quality standards.  AMS is authorized only to provide oversight of Marketing
                Orders and Agreements. AMS's oversight responsibilities range from reviewing applications for new orders and holding hearings
                on proposals to publishing Federal Register notices establishing new agreements. The industries that substantially benefit
                from Marketing Orders and Agreements should pay for the oversight of these programs.  The proposal would result in approximately
                $20 million in receipts.

             Food Safety Inspection Fees

             The Administration proposes establishing a Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) user fee to cover the costs of all domestic
                inspection activity and import re-inspection and most of the central operations costs for Federal, State, and International
                inspection programs for meat, poultry, and eggs. FSIS inspections benefit the meat, poultry, and egg industries. FSIS personnel
                are continuously present for all egg processing and domestic slaughter operations, inspect each livestock and poultry carcass,
                and inspect operations at meat and poultry processing establishments at least once per shift. The inspections cover microbiological
                and chemical testing as well as cleanliness and cosmetic product defects. The "inspected by USDA" stamp on meat and poultry
                labels increases consumer confidence in the product which may increase sales. The user fee would not cover federal functions
                such as investigation, enforcement, risk analysis, and emergency response. We estimate this fee would increase the cost of
                meat, poultry, and eggs for consumers by less than one cent per pound.  The proposal would result in approximately $660 million
                in receipts starting in fiscal year 2019.

             Grain Inspection, Packers, and Stockyards Fees

             The Administration proposes establishing two Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) user fees. The
                first would recover the costs for the development, review, and maintenance of official U.S. grain standards. Entities that
                receive marketing benefits from grain standards should pay for the costs of standardization. The second would recover the
                costs of GIPSA's Packers and Stockyards Program (P&SP) through a licensing fee. The P&SP benefits the livestock, meat, and
                poultry industries by promoting fair business practices and competitive market environments. The proposal would result in
                approximately $30 million in receipts ($6 million and $24 million, respectively).

             Animal and Plant Health Inspection Fees

             The Administration proposes establishing three new Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) user fees to offset
                costs related to 1) enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act, 2) regulation of biotechnology derived products, and 3) regulation
                of veterinary biologics products. The fees would result in approximately $20 million in receipts including $9 million for
                animal care, $7 million for veterinary biologics, and $4 million for Biotechnology Regulatory Services. 1) Under the authority
                of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA), APHIS conducts activities designed to ensure the humane care and treatment of certain animals
                bred for commercial sale, used in research, transported commercially or exhibited to the public. These activities include
                licensing, registering, and inspecting certain establishments to ensure compliance with the AWA. APHIS would charge entities
                for the costs associated with licensing and registration. 2) Under the authority of the Plant Protection Act, APHIS regulates
                the introduction—meaning the importation, interstate movement, and field-testing—of organisms derived through biotechnology
                that may pose a plant pest risk. After careful review, APHIS may issue a permit or notification to allow entities to conduct
                these specific activities, and conduct the necessary oversight to ensure compliance. APHIS would charge an application fee
                from entities seeking authorization for the introduction of biotechnology derived products. 3) Under the authority of the
                Virus-Serum-Toxin Act, APHIS regulates veterinary biologics (vaccines, bacterins, antisera, diagnostic kits, and other products
                of biological origin) to ensure that those products produced in or imported into the United States are not "worthless, contaminated,
                dangerous, or harmful." APHIS' licensing activities allow manufacturers to market their products. APHIS would charge a licensing
                fee to manufacturers of veterinary biologics.
