         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 1030â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 Office of Inspector General provides the Secretary and Congress with information or intelligence about fraud, other serious
            problems, mismanagement, and deficiencies in Department programs and operations, recommends corrective action, and reports
            on the progress made in correcting the problems. The Office reviews existing and proposed legislation and regulations and
            makes recommendations to the Secretary and Congress regarding the impact these laws have on the Department's programs and
            the prevention and detection of fraud and mismanagement in such programs. The Office provides policy direction and conducts,
            supervises, and coordinates all audits and investigations. The Office supervises and coordinates other activities in the Department
            and between the Department and other Federal, State and local government agencies whose purposes are to: (a) promote economy
            and efficiency; (b) prevent and detect fraud and mismanagement; and (c) identify and prosecute people involved in fraud or
            mismanagement. The 2018 Budget requests $92.7 million.

            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 1621â1627) and
            the Census of Agriculture Act of 1997, Public Law 105â113 (7 U.S.C. 2204 g(d)(f)).
         
         Agricultural Estimates.â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.â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.â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.â 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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â 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.â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.â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.âFunds are used to restore, upgrade, and maintain ARS' facilities to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration and

         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.â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).â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.â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.â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

         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.â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.â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.â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.â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.âSection 7406 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110â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.â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.â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.â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.â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).â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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. 2131â2159), and the Horse Protection Act of 1970 as amended (15 U.S.C.
            1821â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.â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.â Public Law 114â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.â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.â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. 491â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.â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. 104â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
            calculation purposes.
         
         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.

         Financing.â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.

         (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. 103â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. 104â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.â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

         Conservation and environment.â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.

            (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

            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).â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.â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. 100â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. 103â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. 113â079
            expires September 30, 2018. The 2018 Budget requests $3.4 million for the program.

         The Claims Resolution Act of 2010, P.L. 111â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. 110â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. 2201â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

         included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.
      
         Dairy indemnity program

            dairy indemnity program, such sums as may be necessary, to remain available until expended: Provided, That such program is carried out by the Secretary in the same manner as the dairy indemnity program described in the Agriculture,
            Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001 (Public Law 106â387, 114 Stat.
            1549A-12).

         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
            requests such sums as may be necessary, which are estimated to be $500,000 for this program in both 2017 and 2018.

         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.â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.â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).â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).â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.âOwners of farms that participate in PLC or ARC programs for the 2014â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 2008â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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 2014â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 114â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).â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).â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).â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).â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.â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).â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).â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).â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).â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).â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 2014â2018.
         
         Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMD) and Quality Samples Program.â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.â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.â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).â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).â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 87â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.â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 87â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.â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.â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.â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 facilitiesâ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.â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.

         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 2008â2011.
            Obligations in 2017 will be still be required to make residual payments for disaster programs under the Disaster Trust authority.

         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 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 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.â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.â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.â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).â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).â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.âCRP is authorized by Sections 1231â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).â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).â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).â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).â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.â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 78â534.â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 83â566.â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 83â566 or 78â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).

            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.

         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.

            into in lieu of debt forgiveness or payments for eligible households as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Housing
            Act of 1949, $1,345,293,000; 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.â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. 114â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.

         This account funds the direct community facility loans and community facility grants, which are authorized under sections
            306(a)(1) and 306(a)(19) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Loans are provided to local governments
            and nonprofit organizations for the construction and improvement of community facilities providing essential services in rural
            areas of not more than 20,000 population, such as hospitals and fire stations. Total program level in 2018 is projected to
            be $3 billion for direct loans. The 2018 Budget proposes no guaranteed loans or funding for place-based community projects,
            Rural Community Development Initiative, and Tribal College Grants. Funding in the 2018 Budget for the Community Facilities
            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 program account
         (including transfers of funds)For gross obligations for the principal amount of direct and guaranteed loans as authorized by title V of the Housing Act
            of 1949, to be available from funds in the rural housing insurance fund, as follows:  $24,000,000,000 shall be for unsubsidized guaranteed loans; $250,000,000 for section 538 guaranteed multi-family housing loans; and $10,000,000 for credit sales of single family housing acquired property: Provided, That to support the loan program level for section 538 guaranteed loans made available under this heading the
               Secretary may charge or adjust any fees to cover the projected cost of such loan guarantees pursuant to the provisions of
               the Credit Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), and the interest on such loans may not be subsidized: Provided further,

      Note.â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. 114â254). The amounts
         included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

         Rural Housing Insurance Fund.âThis fund was established in 1965 (Public Law 89â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.

         Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development
            Act by Public Law 104â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.

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

          The Rural Business Investment Program was authorized by section 6029 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002,
            Public Law 107â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.

         budget assumes this account is operating under the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2017 (P.L. 114â254). The amounts
         included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

         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.
         
         Solid waste management grants are authorized under Section 310B(b) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as
            amended. Grants are made to non-profit organizations to provide regional technical assistance to local and regional governments
            and related agencies for the purpose of reducing or eliminating pollution of water resources, and for improving the planning
            and management of solid waste disposal facilities.

         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.â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.

         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).â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).âTitle II of the Food for Peace Act (P.L. 83â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

            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.

         P.L.480 II grants fund emergency and development food aid programs authorized under Title II of the Food for Peace Act (P.L.

            for International Development (USAID). There is no request for P.L. 480 Title II, as part of an Administration effort to streamline
            foreign assistance, prioritize funding, and use funding as effectively and efficiently as possible. 
         
         The 2018 request includes funding for emergency food needs within the more efficient International Disaster Assistance account.

         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.

            Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786), $6,150,000,000, to remain available through September 30, 2019: Provided, That notwithstanding section 17(h)(10) of the Child Nutrition Act of 1966 (42 U.S.C. 1786(h)(10)), not less than $60,000,000 shall be used for breastfeeding peer counselors and other related activities, and $13,600,000 shall be used for infrastructure: Provided further, That none of the funds provided in this account shall be available for the purchase of infant formula except in accordance
            with the cost containment and competitive bidding requirements specified in section 17 of such Act: Provided further, That none of the funds provided shall be available for activities that are not fully reimbursed by other Federal Government
            departments or agencies unless authorized by section 17 of such Act: Provided further, That upon termination of a federally mandated vendor moratorium and subject to terms and conditions established by the Secretary,
            the Secretary may waive the requirement at 7 CFR 246.12(g)(6) at the request of a State agency.
      Note.â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. 114â254). The amounts
         included for 2017 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

         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
            partner organizations to achieve multiple goals.

         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.â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.â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.âAssists agencies whose missions are centrally focused on international issues with natural resource conservation.

         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.â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.â 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.â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:
         
         â using risk-informed, performance-based suppression strategies,
         â clarifying roles and responsibilities in the WUI,
         â using appropriate cost-share agreements, and
         â 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 2007â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.â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.â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. 113â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.â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.âTo acquire lands within critical watersheds to provide soil stabilization and restoration of vegetation. Public Laws 76â589,
            76â591 and 78â310 (54 Stat. 297, 298, 299, and 402; and 58 Stat. 227â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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.â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

            cost of uniforms as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5901â5902; and (7) for debt collection contracts in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 3718(c).
      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
            assistance and training programs overseas on forestry and rangeland management.
      Funds appropriated to the Forest Service shall be available for expenditure or transfer to the Department of the Interior,
            Bureau of Land Management, for removal, preparation, and adoption of excess wild horses and burros from National Forest System
            lands, and for the performance of cadastral surveys to designate the boundaries of such lands.
      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 106â224 (7 U.S.C. 7772), or section 10417(b) of Public Law 107â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.
      Not more than $82,000,000 of funds available to the Forest Service shall be transferred to the Working Capital Fund of the
            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 103â82, as amended by Public Lands Corps Healthy Forests Restoration Act
            of 2005, Public Law 109â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 101â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 98â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 99â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 introductionâmeaning the importation, interstate movement, and field-testingâ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.
