Wheat Crop Insurance

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) gives notice of its determination to 
extend the date for acceptance of wheat crop insurance applications for 
those counties where producers are offered the winter coverage 
endorsement. The sales closing date of September 30 previously extended 
to October 31 shall be further extended to November 4, 1994.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 31, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joan Rogers, Regulatory Specialist, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, 
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC 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. On Tuesday, October 
4, 1994, FCIC published in the Federal Register (59 FR 50559), 
effective for the 1995 winter wheat crop year only, a sales closing 
date extension to October 31. FCIC has determined that an additional 
extension of the sales closing date may be needed for wheat counties in 
which the winter coverage endorsement is available. By extending the 
sales closing date, farmers will have more time to make crop insurance 
decisions for the 1995 wheat crop year. The Manager has determined that 
extension of the sales closing date for the 1995 wheat crop year only 
in counties in which the winter coverage endorsement is available will 
not adversely affect the actuarial status of the crop insurance 
program. Therefore, the Manager of FCIC has determined that the October 
31 sales closing date shall be further extended to November 14 for 
wheat counties in which the winter coverage endorsement is available. 
No other crop insurance program dates are affected or extended at this 
time.
    Under the provisions of the General Crop Insurance Regulations 
(Sec. 457.8), the sales closing date for accepting applications may be 
extended by notice in the Federal Register upon determination that no 
adverse effect will result from such extension. FCIC has determined 
that no adverse effect will result from this extension.
    FCIC will discontinue the acceptance of applications if it 
determines that adverse conditions develop and that insurance risk 
becomes excessive.

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 (FCIC) herewith gives notice that, effective 
for the 1995 crop year only, applications for wheat crop insurance in 
counties in which the winter coverage endorsement is available with 
published sales closing dates of September 30, 1994, will be accepted 
up to the close of business on November 4, 1994. This sales closing 
date may be terminated by the Corporation prior to November 4, 1994, if 
FCIC determines that adverse conditions develop and that insurance risk 
becomes excessive.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1501, as amended.

    Done in Washington, DC on November 3, 1994.
Kenneth D. Ackerman,
Acting Deputy Administrator, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
