Prompt Disaster Set-Aside Consideration and Primary Loan 
Servicing Facilitation

AGENCY: Farm Service Agency, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a final rule published September 25, 
2003, which provided disaster set-aside more quickly to those who can 
most benefit from the program. This document is necessary to correct an 
editorial mistake relating to the amount which may be set aside.

DATE: This rule is effective on December 16, 2003.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Cumpton, Farm Loan Programs, 
Loan Servicing and Property Management Division, United States 
Department of Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, STOP 0523, 1400 
Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250-0523, telephone (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects a final rule which 
amended 7 CFR part 1951 published in the Federal Register on September 
25, 2003 (68 FR 55299-55304). Section 1951.954(b)(3), as promulgated 
incorrectly states, ``The installment that may be set aside is limited 
to the first or second scheduled annual installment due after the 
disaster occurred and the amount may not exceed the installment set 
aside.'' This document removes the words, ``and the amount may not 
exceed the installment set aside'' as extraneous. The maximum set-aside 
amount is covered by paragraph (b)(4). This correction will make the 
regulation more clear.
