SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule for AILFP was published on 
June 8, 2000, with an initial budget of $12.5 million. This funding was 
nearly exhausted by January 2001. The Agriculture, Rural Development, 
Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 
of 2001 (2001 Act) provided additional funding of $11.9 million to 
continue the AILFP.
    The 2001 Act authorized AILFP funding only for those AILFP 
contracts and requests to extend feeding periods for existing AILFP 
contracts that were approved by the Deputy Administrator for Farm 
Programs (DAFP) no later than September 30, 2001. As a result of this 
statutory provision, AILFP funding is not available for any AILFP 
contract or request to extend a feeding period for an existing AILFP 
contract not submitted and approved by DAFP by September 30, 2001. The 
program is terminated.

    Signed at Washington, DC, on March 28, 2002.
