RIN 0563-AC77


Pandemic Cover Crop Program; Correction

AGENCY: Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: Due to inadvertently having not included valid cover cropping 
practices because of the timing of acreage reporting, the Federal Crop 
Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is correcting a final rule that published 
in the Federal Register on February 11, 2022. The final rule announced 
the Pandemic Cover Crop Program (PCCP) that provides support for 
agricultural producers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for the 2022 
crop year. With a specific focus on strengthening outreach to 
underserved producers and communities and small and medium agricultural 
operations, USDA dedicated funding to reaching a broader set of 
producers than was reached in previous COVID-19 assistance programs. As 
a part of that initiative, the final rule established PCCP for 2022.

DATES: Effective April 12, 2022.

May 31, 2022, for 2022 crop year qualifying cover crops planted after 
March 15, 2022, which may be prior to FSA's acreage reporting date, and

2022, (or May 31, 2022, for 2022 crop year qualifying cover crops 
planted after March 15, 2022), will be considered for PCCP''.
