AGENCY: Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of Extension of Sales Closing Date (Acceptance of 
Applications).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Effective for the 1995 crop year only, the Federal Crop 
Insurance Corporation (FCIC) herewith gives notice of its determination 
to extend the date for acceptance of applications for small grains 
(wheat, oats, rye, and barley), sugarcane, potatoes, and nursery crop 
insurance for all policies having a September 30 sales closing date.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 4, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Mari Dunleavy, Regulatory Specialist, Federal Crop Insurance 
Corporation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C. 20250, 
telephone (202) 254-8314.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under its regulations for insuring crops, 
FCIC requires that applications for crop insurance protection must be 
filed on or before the policy sales closing date. The small grains, 
potatoes, surgarcane, and nursery crop insurance policies have a sales 
closing date in some areas of September 30. Due to the uncertain nature 
of improvements being made to agricultural risk management policies, 
producers have requested that FCIC extend the sales closing dates to 
allow producers opportunity to assess their risk management needs and 
make an informed decision as to the purchase of crop insurance. 
Therefore, to assist those producers who have requested an extension of 
sales closing date, the Manager of FCIC has determined that the 
September 30 sales closing date shall be extended to October 31.
    Under the provisions of the General Crop Insurance Regulations 
(Sec. 401.8 and Sec. 457.8), the sales closing date for accepting 
applications may be extended by notice in the Federal Register upon 
determination that no adverse selection will result from such 
extension. FCIC has determined that no adverse selection will result 
from this extension.
    FCIC will discontinue the acceptance of applications if it 
determines that the insurance risk because excessive and adverse 
conditions develop.

Notice

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in the Federal 
Crop Insurance Act, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.), the Federal 
Crop Insurance Corporation herewith gives notice that, effective for 
the 1995 crop year only, applications for wheat, barley, oats, rye, 
nursery, potatoes, and surgarcane crop insurance with sales closing 
prior to October 31, 1994, will be accepted up to the close of business 
on October 31, 1994, for producers requesting multiple peril crop 
insurance coverage. This sales closing may be terminated by the 
Corporation prior to October 31, 1994 if the insurance risk becomes 
excessive and adverse conditions develop.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1506, 1516.

    Done in Washington, D.C. on September 29, 1994.

Acting Manager, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
