DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Information Resources Management.—This office designs,
implements, and revises systems, processes, work methods,
and techniques to improve the management of information
resources and the operational effectiveness of USDA. The Director serves as the Department’s clearance officer for information collection. This activity also provides telecommunications and ADP services to USDA agencies and staff offices,
including the operation of computer centers in Fort Collins,
Colorado and Kansas City, Missouri.
Civil Rights.—This office provides overall guidance, leadership, direction, and coordination for the Department’s programs for equal opportunity and civil rights, which include
program delivery, compliance and equal employment opportunity, and for efforts to further participation of minority
colleges and universities in Departmental programs.
Administrative Law Judges and Judicial Officer.—The administrative law judges hold hearings on new regulations and
orders and on disciplinary complaints filed by the Department
or on some petitions filed by private parties. The Judicial
Officer serves as final decision officer in regulatory proceedings.
Disaster Management and Coordination.—This staff is the
focal point of contact with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and all other Federal departments and agencies
having disaster management responsibilities and provides
oversight, coordination, and guidance to USDA agencies in
their emergency planning, training, and activities.
Modernization of Administrative Process (MAP).—This staff
activity provides support to the Assistant Secretary for Administration in his role as steward of the Department’s physical and capital assets, and as manager of the Department’s
administrative functions and processes. The MAP staff functions include: (1) coordinating all National Performance Review initiatives, (2) conducting reinvention activities for Departmentwide administrative processes, (3) conducting analysis and studies related to USDA administrative functions,
(4) conducting strategic planning for the Assistant Secretary
that covers Departmentwide administrative business areas,
and (5) coordination of information requests, legislative proposals, and studies of the administrative processes of the
Department that cut across administrative lines.
Info Share.—This activity provides funds for the USDA Info
Share program, a new customer-oriented method for USDA
agencies to test, evaluate and acquire new technologies which
will implement one-stop customer service and integrated data
sharing. In the past, USDA agencies independently acquired
or developed data systems, hardware, and software to accomplish agency missions. This resulted in redundant business
processes, a paperwork burden on USDA customers, high financial investments, and the inability of agencies to share
information in an effective time frame. Info Share is a partnership among agricultural, rural development, natural resource agencies and the customer, to provide improved service
at less cost, where customers experience that they are being
served by only one agency: Team USDA. The basic goals
of the collective Info Share initiatives are to reengineer business processes, reduce duplication, speed up delivery of customer services, and realize short- and long-term savings with
the financial investments that are necessary for automation
improvements. By sharing technologies and strategies, USDA
Info Share will be able to take advantage of advancing technologies and modern business processes.

Agricultural estimates.—The Service provides the official
National and State estimates of acreage, yield, and production
of crops, stocks, and value of farm commodities, and numbers
of inventory values of livestock items. Data on approximately
120 crops and 45 livestock products are covered in nearly
400 reports issued each year. Detailed data are also collected
on agricultural chemical use, labor, and expenditures. Data
collected and published on prices paid and received by farmers are basic to computation of farm program payments.
The work under this activity is conducted through 45 State
offices serving the 50 States; most of these offices are operated as joint State and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies provide additional State and county data. The FY 1996 program includes increases of
$3,300,000 for additional pesticide data, $3,000,000 for restricted use pesticide data/integrated pest management, and
$1,100,000 for enhanced distributed processing systems.
Statistical research and service.—This activity is designed
to improve agricultural estimating techniques by improving
sample survey designs and procedures and by testing new
forecasting and estimating techniques, such as the use of
satellite data.

The Agricultural Research Service conducts research to provide the means for a safer, more economical supply of agricultural products for the Nation and to provide producers with
technologies to competitively supply these products. Technology needs of regulatory, technical assistance and education
agencies of USDA and other Federal agencies are supported
through ARS research. The Service uses coordinated, interdisciplinary approaches to perform basic and applied research
on soil and water conservation, plant and animal sciences,
commodity conversion and delivery, human nutrition, and integrated agricultural systems. In FY 1996, the Service proposes increased emphases for critical research needs in agriculture, such as: food safety, integrated pest management,
human nutrition, agricultural biodiversity, and air quality.
Research on soil and water conservation.—Research is conducted to improve soil and water management, irrigation,
and conservation practices; to protect natural resources from
harmful effects of soil, air, and water pollutants and to minimize certain agricultural pollution problems; and to determine
the relation of soil types and water to plant, animal, and
human nutrition.
Research on plant science.—Research is conducted to increase plant productivity by improving plant varieties, devel-

127

oping new crop resources, and improving crop production
practices, including methods to control plant diseases, nematodes, insects, and weeds.
Research on animal science.—Research is conducted to increase livestock productivity (including poultry) through improved breeding, feeding, and management practices, and to
develop methods for controlling diseases, parasites, and insect
pests affecting these animals.
Research on commodity conversion and delivery.—Research
is conducted to develop new and improved foods, feeds, products, and processes for agricultural commodities and to improve the processing, transportation, storage, wholesaling,
and retailing of products. Research is also conducted on
means to ensure the safety of food and feed supplies, control
insect pests of man and his belongings, and reduce the hazards to human life resulting from pesticide residues and other
causes.
Human nutrition research.—Research is conducted on subjects such as human nutritional requirements and the composition and nutritive value of foods, to promote optimum
human health through improved nutrition.
Integration of agricultural systems.—Research is conducted
to develop integrated systems for efficiently producing, processing, and marketing agricultural products, and to develop
alternative agricultural systems that are less dependent upon
nonrenewable resources and that are productive, efficient, and
sustainable in the long term.
Agricultural information and library services.—The National Agricultural Library provides a variety of information
products and services through: (1) the administration of a
unique collection of books, journals, and other information
materials about food and agriculture to ensure accessibility
to their contents; (2) the development and maintenance of
cooperative efforts in the library and related information
areas, with other Federal agencies and with educational institutions in each State; and (3) an active program of information dissemination.
Repair and maintenance of facilities.—Funds are used to
restore, upgrade, and maintain Federal facilities to meet
OSHA and EPA requirements, provide suitable workspace for
in-house research programs, and to retrofit existing structures
for better energy utilization.
Contingencies.—Funds available to meet urgent needs that
develop unexpectedly during the year when such needs cannot
be met by redirection of resources from other projects.
Construction of facilities.—Unobligated balances are used
for this purpose. Construction proposals for 1996 are included
under Buildings and Facilities.
Reimbursements.—Agricultural Research Service performs
program research activities and services for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies. These activities and services
are paid for on a reimbursable basis.

institutions, and between the State institutions and their Federal research partners. The Agency administers grants and
payments to State institutions to supplement State and local
funding for agricultural research and higher education.
Payments under the Hatch Act.—Funds under the Hatch
Act are allocated on a formula basis to agricultural experiment stations of the land-grant colleges in the 50 States,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Micronesia, and Northern Mariana
Islands.
Cooperative forestry research.—These funds are allocated by
formula to land-grant colleges or agricultural experiment stations in the 50 States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands,
and other State-supported colleges and universities having
a forestry school and offering graduate training in forestry
sciences.
Payments to 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University.—Funds
allocated on a formula basis support agricultural research
at the seventeen 1890 land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee
University.
Special research grants.—This program addresses research
areas of national interest. Increased funding is proposed for
grant programs in integrated pest management/biological control, pesticide clearance and pesticide impact assessment and
sustainable agriculture. Funding is also proposed for alternatives to pesticides and critical issues. Advances in these
areas will provide producers with safe, alternative pest control
methods. Funding proposed for pesticide clearance and minor
use animal drugs will address the growing need for registration of safe pesticides and drugs for minor crops and animals.
A grant program for global change is proposed for research
at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative.
Funding is also proposed for water quality, the National Biological Impact Assessment Program, rural development centers, aquaculture centers, rangeland research, energy biomass/biofuels research, and supplemental and alternative
crops. Proposed funding would support approximately 278
grants in 1996.
National research initiative competitive grants.—Funding is
being proposed for the National Initiative for Research on
Agriculture, Food, and the Environment (NRI). Research scientists throughout the U.S. scientific community compete for
funding under this program. These grants support research
in plants and animals; natural resources and the environment; nutrition, food safety, and health; markets, trade, and
rural development; and processing for adding value or developing new products. This Initiative includes funding for a
plant genome mapping program for which the Agricultural
Research Service will serve as lead agency. Global change
research being carried out through the NRI is part of a government-wide program developed by the Committee on Earth
and Environmental Sciences. In 1994, NRI funding supported
833 grants and it is estimated approximately the same number will be funded in 1995. The 1996 request would support
approximately 1,054 grants.
Animal health and disease research.—Funds, distributed by
formula, support livestock and poultry disease research in
sixty-seven colleges of veterinary medicine and in eligible agricultural experiment stations.
Federal administration.—A coordinating and review staff
assists in maintaining cooperation within and among the
States, and between the States and their Federal research
partners. This staff also administers research and education
grants and payments to States. Federal administration is
funded from a combination of program set-asides from formula and grant programs and from direct appropriation for

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996

administration. Funding is proposed for a capacity building
program at the 1890 institutions as part of a USDA initiative
to strengthen these institutions. Proposed funding would support approximately 49 teaching and research grants.
Higher education.—Funding is proposed for graduate fellowships grants, competitive challenge grants, Hispanic education
partnership grants, and a multicultural scholars program.
Proposed funding for all higher education programs would
support approximately 94 grants.
Reimbursable program.—Funds support basic and applied
agriculture research and activities performed for other USDA,
Federal, and non-Federal agencies.
Native American Institutions Endowment Fund.—This program establishes an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions (29 Tribally controlled colleges) to strengthen the infrastructure of these institutions and develop Indian expertise
for the food and agricultural sciences and businesses and
their own communities. At the termination of each fiscal year,
the Secretary shall withdraw the income from the endowment
fund for the fiscal year, and after making adjustments for
the cost of administering the fund, distribute the adjusted
income on a formula basis to the 1994 land-grant institutions.

Personnel Summary

The Cooperative Extension System, a national educational
network, is a dynamic organization pledged to meeting the
country’s needs for research-based educational programs that
will enable people to make practical decisions to improve their
lives. To accomplish its mission, the Cooperative Extension
System adjusts programs to meet the shifting needs and priorities of the people it serves.
The nonformal educational network combines the expertise
and resources of federal, state, and local partners. The partners in this unique System are: (a) The Cooperative State
Research, Education, and Extension Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; (b) Extension professionals at landgrant universities throughout the United States and its territories; and (c) Extension professionals in nearly all of the
Nation’s 3,150 counties. Thousands of paraprofessionals and
nearly 3 million volunteers support this partnership and magnify its impact. Strong linkages with both public and private
external groups are also crucial to the Cooperative Extension
System’s strength and vitality.
Base programs, funded by the Smith-Lever 3b&c legislated
formula funds, are the major educational efforts central to
the mission of the System and common to most Extension
units. They are the ongoing priority efforts of the System,
involving many discipline-based and multi-disciplinary programs. The System’s base programs are the foundation of
the Extension organization and partnership.
National initiatives funded by legislative formulas, administratively determined distribution, Congressional and Executive intent, and competitively-awarded projects, are the System’s commitment to respond to important problems of broad
national concern with additional resources and significantly
increased effort to achieve a major impact on national priorities. They are the most current significant and complex issues on which the Extension System has the potential to
make a difference—usually in cooperation with other agencies, groups, and units of government.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

A new grant program for improving facilities at the 1890
Institutions and Tuskeegee University is proposed as part
of a high-priority White House initiative for upgrading the
research, extension and teaching capabilities of historically
black colleges and universities. These projects will involve
the governmental streamlining principles of: merit-based
award; the development of human resources; the sharing of
costs through public and private partnership; and the advancement of equity through diversity. This program will require full dollar-for-dollar matching from non-Federal sources.

with other groups in APHIS and Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) officials to support PPQ programs of the Agency
and its cooperators at the State, national, and international
levels.
APHIS will reduce the number of plant and pest line items
from seventeen to seven in order to provide maximum flexibility to respond to changing priorities and needs as they arise,
within the major functions appearing in the appropriations
request. In addition, the APHIS contingency fund is proposed
to be increased in order to provide a source of funds for
emergency pest outbreaks and other unexpected program activity needs.
In addition, fees collected in the AQI user fee account are
proposed to be available without appropriations action, in
order to better provide services that are driven by demand.

The major objectives of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) are to protect the animal and plant
resources of the Nation from destructive pests and diseases.
This mission is carried out under the five major areas of
activity, as follows:
Pest and disease exclusion.—The agency conducts inspection
and quarantine activities at U.S. ports-of-entry to prevent
the introduction of exotic animal and plant diseases and
pests. APHIS develops and conducts preclearance programs
to ensure that agricultural products destined for U.S. portsof-entry do not present a risk to U.S. agriculture. APHIS
engages in cooperative programs in foreign countries to control pests of imminent concern to the United States. APHIS
also certifies plants and plant products for export and regulates imports and exports of designated endangered plant species. User fees have been implemented to recover the cost
of certain agricultural quarantine inspection services.
Plant and animal health monitoring.—The Agency conducts
programs to assess animal and plant health and to detect
endemic and exotic diseases and pests. The plant and animal
health monitoring programs are primarily cooperative efforts
of the Federal and State governments, and industry. The
Agency also carries out surveys in cooperation with the States
to detect harmful plant and animal pests and diseases and
to determine if there is a need for pest eradication programs.
Pest and disease management programs.—The Agency carries out programs to control and eradicate infestations and
animal diseases that threaten the United States; to reduce
agricultural losses caused by predatory animals, birds, and
rodents; to provide technical assistance to States, counties,
farmer or rancher groups, and foundations; and to ensure
compliance with interstate movement and disease control regulations. Interstate shipments of plants, livestock, and related
materials are monitored and regulated to prevent the spread
of disease. APHIS protects agriculture from detrimental animal predators through identification, demonstration, and application of the most appropriate methods of control.
Animal care.—The Agency conducts regulatory activities
which ensure the humane care and handling of animals used
in research, exhibition, or the wholesale pet trade. The Agency is also responsible for administering the Horse Protection
Act, which prohibits the showing, selling, or exhibition of
sore horses.
Scientific and technical services.—APHIS develops methods
to control animals and pests that are detrimental to agriculture, other wildlife, and public safety. The agency regulates
genetic research to guard against the release of potentially
harmful organisms into the environment. APHIS also conducts veterinary diagnostic laboratory activities and biologic
regulatory enforcement to ensure that the products developed
for combatting disease are potent, safe, and pure. It also
provides and directs technology development in coordination

Legislation will be proposed to charge fees for all overtime
inspections of meat, poultry, and egg products at all establishments inspected by the Food Safety and Inspection Service
(FSIS). Currently, fees to reimburse the cost of overtime inspection are required at some FSIS-inspected establishments,
but not at others. The Federal government would continue
to pay the full cost for a primary, eight-hour inspection shift.

that are predatory or monopolistic in nature. Consumers and
members of the livestock, poultry, and meat industries are
also protected against unfair business practices in the marketing of livestock, meat and poultry, and from restrictions on
competition which could unduly affect prices. The Agency also
carries out the Secretary’s responsibilities under Section 1324
of the Food Security Act of 1985 covering ‘‘central filing systems’’ established by States for pre-notification of security
interests against farm products.
Authorizing legislation will be submitted that would establish a license fee that, subject to appropriations, would allow
the collection and expenditure of funds for all costs associated
with administering the Packers and Stockyards Act. Authorizing legislation will also be submitted to establish a Dealers
Trust. This would require livestock inventories and accounts
receivable due from the sale of livestock to be held in trust
for unpaid cash sellers at a time of financial failure.

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) provides a uniform system for the inspection
and weighing of grain. Services provided under this system
are financed through a fee supported revolving fund. This
authority has been extended through September 2000.
Fee supported programs include direct services, supervision
activities and administrative functions. Direct services include
official grain inspection and weighing by GIPSA employees
at certain export ports as well as the inspection of U.S. grain
shipped through Canada. The Agency supervises the inspection and weighing activities performed by its own employees.
The agency also oversees the inspection and weighing of grain
performed by employees of 8 delegated States and 69 designated State and private agencies. The Agency provides an
appeal service of original grain inspections and a registration
system for grain exporting firms. Through support from the
Association of American Railroads and user fees, GIPSA conducts a railroad track scale testing program. In addition, the
agency provides grading services, on request, for rice and
grain related products under the authority of the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA).

Agricultural Marketing Service activities assist producers
and handlers of agricultural commodities by providing a variety of marketing services. These services continue to become
more complex as the volume of agricultural commodities increases, as a greater number of new processed commodities
are developed, and as the agricultural market structure undergoes extensive changes. Marketing changes include increased concentration in food retailing, direct buying, decentralization of processing, growth of interregional competition,
vertical integration, and contract farming. The individual activities include:
Market news service.—The market news program provides
the agricultural community with information pertaining to
the movement of agricultural products. This nationwide service provides daily reports on the supply, demand, and price
of over 700 commodities throughout the country.
Inspection, grading and standardization.—Nationally uniform standards of quality for agricultural products are established and applied to specific lots of products to: promote
confidence between buyers and sellers; reduce hazards in marketing due to misunderstandings and disputes arising from
the use of nonstandard descriptions; and encourage better
preparation of uniform quality products for market. Grading
services are provided for cotton and domestic and imported
tobacco.
Quarterly inspection of egg handlers and hatcheries is conducted to ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit
for human consumption.

dairy products, potatoes, watermelons, mushrooms, limes, soybeans, fluid milk and fresh cut flowers and greens; (2) the
Federal Seed Act; and (3) the administration of the CapperVolstead Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act.
The pecan program was terminated in March 1994 after
it was defeated in referendum. Fluid milk assessments were
collected only during six months in 1994 to fund the first
30 months of the program, as stipulated in the producers
plan.
Federal seed inspectors conduct tests on seed samples to
help ensure truthful labeling of agricultural and vegetable
seeds sold in interstate commerce.
The Capper-Volstead Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act protect producers against discriminatory practices
by handlers, permit producers to engage in cooperative efforts,
and ensure that such cooperatives do not engage in practices
that monopolize or restrain trade.
AMS has proposed increased funding in fiscal year 1996
to develop a Center of Excellence for World Food Distribution
Training at Prairie View University in conjunction with the
Economic Research Service, Food and Consumer Service, and
the Foreign Agricultural Service. The World Food Distribution
Training Center will provide students at this historically
Black university with a strong educational foundation to pursue a career in domestic and international marketing and
trade.

License fees are deposited in this special fund and are
used to meet the costs of administering the Perishable Agricultural Commodities and the Produce Agency Acts (7 U.S.C.
491–497, 499a–499s).
The Acts are intended to ensure equitable treatment to
farmers and others in the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits
and vegetables. Commission merchants, dealers, and brokers
handling these products in interstate and foreign commerce
are licensed. Complaints of violations are investigated and
violations dealt with by (a) informal agreements between the
two parties, (b) formal decisions involving payment of reparation awards, and/or (c) suspension or revocation of license
and/or publication of the facts. Beginning October 1, 1994,
an additional fee was instituted for the filing of formal and
informal complaints of violations of the Act.
A 1984 amendment to the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act requires traders to have trust assets on hand to
meet their obligations to fruit and vegetable suppliers. To
preserve their trust and establish their rights ahead of other
creditors, unpaid suppliers file notice with both the Department and their debtors that payment is due.

Under section 32 of the act of August 24, 1935, as amended
(7 U.S.C. 612c), an amount equal to 30 percent of customs
receipts collected during each calendar year is automatically
appropriated for expanding outlets for nonbasic commodities.
An amount equal to 30 percent of receipts collected on fishery
products is transferred to the Department of Commerce. Most
of the funds are transferred to the Food and Consumer and
are used to purchase commodities under section 6 of the National School Lunch Act and other authorities specified in
the child nutrition appropriation. If unforeseen commodity
surpluses should develop, unobligated reserve balances are
available for surplus removal. A portion of section 32 funds
issued to promote oilseed and exports. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) requires annual reductions
in oilseed export subsidies.

Expenses and refunds, inspection and grading of farm products.—The commodity grading programs provide grading, examination, and certification services for a wide variety of
fresh and processed food commodities using federally approved grade standards and purchase specifications. Commodities graded include poultry, livestock, meat, dairy products,
and fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. These programs use official grade standards which reflect the relative
quality of a particular food commodity based on laboratory
testing and characteristics such as taste, color, weight, and
physical condition. Producers voluntarily request grading and
certification services which are provided on a fee for service
basis.

Note.—The administration fund totals are comprised of 38 separate independent order accounts in 1994. The
Marketing Service fund totals are comprised of 36 separate independent order accounts in 1994.

The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended—under
certain conditions—to issue Federal milk marketing orders
establishing minimum prices which handlers are required to
pay for milk purchased from producers.
Market administrators are appointed by the Secretary and
are responsible for carrying out the terms of specific marketing orders. Their operating expenses, partly financed by assessments on regulated handlers and partly by deductions
from producers, are reported in these schedules. These funds
are collected locally, deposited in local banks, and disbursed
directly by the market administrator.
Expenses of local offices are met from an administrative
fund and a marketing service fund, which are prescribed in
each order. The administrative fund is derived from prorated
handler assessments. The marketing service fund of the individual order disseminates market information to producers
who are not members of a qualified cooperative. It also provides for the verification of the weights, sampling, and testing
of milk from these producers. The cost of these services is
borne by such producers.
The maximum rates for administrative assessment and for
marketing services are set forth in each order and adjustments below these rates are made from time to time upon
recommendations by the market administrator and upon approval of the Agricultural Marketing Service to provide reserves at about a 6-month operating level. Upon termination
of any order, the statute provides for distributing the proceeds

The Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of
Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, P.L. 103–354, enacted
October 13, 1994, established the Farm Service Agency (FSA).
The FSA will administer the commodity price support and
production adjustment programs financed by the Commodity
Credit Corporation, and the Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) and several conservation cost-share programs from the
former Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service;

148

crop insurance and other risk management programs from
the former Federal Crop Insurance Corporation; and farm
ownership and operating, emergency, and disaster loan programs from the former Farmers Home Administration. Also,
the administrative support functions of the Foreign Agricultural Service will be provided by FSA. In addition, the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture
Reorganization Act of 1994 amended the Federal Crop Insurance Act (FCIA). The Act repeals ad hoc disaster authority.
The new crop insurance program replaces disaster bills as
the Federal response to emergencies involving widespread
crop loss.
This consolidated administrative expenses account includes
funds to cover expenses of programs administered by, and
functions assigned to, the Agency. The funds consist of a
direct appropriation, transfers from program loan accounts
under credit reform procedures, user fees, and advances and
reimbursements from other sources. This is a consolidated
account for administrative expenses of national, regional,
State, district, and county offices.
Program formulation and appraisal.—The supply adjustment, conservation, and commodity support programs, and
the management and merchandising of commodities acquired
under the support program, have a significant impact on the
national and (to a lesser extent) the international economy.
This activity provides for the review and analysis of the effectiveness of these programs.
Inventory management and merchandising.—This activity
includes: (a) overall management of CCC-owned commodities;
(b) purchasing commodities; (c) donating commodities; (d) selling commodities; and (e) accounting for loans and commodities.
Warehouse examination.—This activity provides for the examination of warehouses licensed under the U.S. Warehouse
Act and non-licensed warehouses storing CCC-owned or
pledged commodities. Examiners perform periodic examinations of the facilities and the warehouse records to ensure
protection of depositors against potential losses of the stored
commodities and to ensure compliance with the U.S. Warehouse Act and any CCC storage agreements.
Operation of supply adjustment, conservation and price support programs.—This activity includes all functions dealing
with the administration of programs carried out through the
farmer committee system of the CFSA, including: (a) developing program regulations and procedures; (b) collecting and
compiling basic data for individual farms; (c) establishing individual farm allotments, bases, and yields; (d) notifying producers of established allotments, bases, and yields; (e) determining farm marketing quotas; (f) conducting referendums
and certifying results; (g) accepting farmer certifications and
checking compliance; (h) accepting producer applications for
participation in commodity price stabilizing programs; (i) issuing marketing cards so that production from the allotted acreage can be marketed without penalty; (j) processing producer
requests for conservation cost-sharing and issuing conservation reserve rental payments; (k) processing commodity loan
documents and issuing checks; (l) processing deficiency and
diversion payments and issuing checks; and (m) certifying
payment eligibility and monitoring payment limitations.
Risk Management.—Includes the program activities that
are in direct support of the insurance program. Functions
included are research and development, insurance services,
compliance and emergency and non-insured assistance. Included is policy formulation, procedures, and regulations development. Reviews and evaluation are conducted for overall

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996

performance to ensure the actuarial soundness of the insurance program.
Administrative Management.—This activity includes the administrative support for risk management including budget,
financial management, human resources, management services, and information technology services.
Program Management.—This includes functions that support legislation and congressional affairs; controller; equal employment; and internal controls activities for risk management.
Farm Credit Activities (Reimbursable).—Provides for administering the direct and guaranteed loan programs covered
under the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund (ACIF). Activities include reviewing applications, servicing the loan portfolio, and providing technical assistance and guidance to borrowers. These administrative expenses are transferred to this
consolidated account from the ACIF.
Other Reimbursable Activities.—This includes all FSA activities necessary to provide the Foreign Agricultural Service
with administrative support services under an annual reimbursable agreement.

The program is administered through the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) by State and local committees working
under the general direction of the Secretary.
Under the Food Security Act, as amended by Public Laws
101–624 and 103–66, authority is provided to enter into CRP
contracts through the 1995 crop year. Appropriations needed
to make annual payments on 10- to 15-year contracts and
for useful life easements will be requested through 2008.
From program inception in 1986 through 1994, approximately 36.4 million acres were enrolled. As announced by
the Secretary in December, 1994. During 1995, the Secretary
plans to authorize voluntary early termination of CRP contracts, without penalty, on enrolled acres that are less environmentally sensitive, followed by an enrollment of replacement acres that provide for greater environmental benefits.
In December 1994 the Secretary announced that, for contracts
expiring in FY 1996 and subsequently, CRP contract holders
will be eligible to extend CRP contracts up to 10 years, including altering the CRP lands under contract within a farm
to bring more environmentally sensitive lands under contract
as long as the total number of acres remains unchanged.
Producers will also be able to place permanent conservation
easements on the highest priority lands.
The appropriation requested for FY 1996 will be used for
annual rental and easement payments due on 1996 and prior
crop years’ contracts and for cost-share and technical assistance on 1997 and prior crop year enrollments.

øSALARIES

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was mandated
by sections 1231–1244 of the Food Security Act of 1985 (Public Law 99–198), as amended by sections 1411–1499 of the
Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (Public Law 101–624), and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1993 (P.L. 103–66), to establish permanent cover on
highly erodible cropland and on cropland posing environmental threats. The primary objectives of the CRP are to
help farmers control critical soil erosion that occurs on about
a third of America’s highly erodible and environmentally sensitive cropland and to decrease production of some surplus
agricultural commodities.
The CRP is authorized in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands, on all croplands meeting the eligibility
criteria of eroding at three times the soil loss tolerance or
higher, or twice the soil loss tolerance with serious gully
erosion or with an erosion predominance of 662⁄3 percent of
the field if planted to grass or an erosion predominance of
331⁄3 percent if the area is planted to trees. In addition to
cropland in areas adjacent to lakes and streams that can
be devoted to filter strips, and cropland subject to overflow
and suffering from scour erosion, eligible land may include
shelterbelts, windbreaks, cropland contributing to water quality problems, and other lands posing environmental threats.
Also eligible for the CRP are water quality impaired areas
that do not meet the highly erodible land (HEL) criteria,
such as the Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, and Long Island
Sound watershed regions.

This program was authorized by the Agricultural Credit
Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2201–05). It provides funds for sharing
the cost of emergency measures to deal with cases of severe
damage to farmlands and rangelands resulting from natural
disasters.
Under the 1994 program, cost-sharing assistance was provided in 33 States to treat farmlands damaged by floods,
tornadoes, wildfires, earthquakes, and drought. The 1994 program included rehabilitation of farmland damaged by the
Midwest Flood of 1993, using 1993 supplemental funding
available through June 30, 1994. Also in fiscal year 1994,
supplemental funding of $25 million, available through September 30, 1995, was provided for the Midwest Flood and
other natural disasters.
In fiscal year 1995, $23 million was transferred to the ECP,
to remain available until expended, from funding appropriated to Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations.
The 1996 budget provides cost-sharing to farmers and
ranchers to rehabilitate approximately 159,400 acres of damaged farmland.

FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE CORPORATION FUND
For payments as authorized by section ø508(b)¿ 516 of the Federal
Crop Insurance Act, as amended, ø$219,107,000¿ such sums as may
be necessary, to remain available until expended (7 U.S.C. 2209b).
(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and
Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995.)

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is a whollyowned government Corporation which provides crop insurance
to crop producers against losses because of unavoidable causes
and/or uncontrollable events. The Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994 made significant changes in the program
to provide more of the Nation’s farmers with an on-going
source of risk protection and to reduce the need for ad hoc
disaster payment assistance.
To be eligible for benefits under the price support or production adjustment program, the Conservation Reserve Program,
or farm credit programs, the producer must obtain at least
the catastrophic level of coverage for each insurable crop of
economic significance grown on each farm in the county in
which the producer has an interest. Catastrophic crop insurance protection will be fully subsidized with the exception
of a minor processing fee to be paid by the farmer. This
will compensate the farmer for yield losses exceeding 50 percent of a yield and at a price equal to 60 percent of a maximum price.
Additional protection at higher levels of coverage will continue to be offered. Coverage levels will be subsidized to the
extent of the premium on at least the catastrophic level of
coverage and the delivery costs.
A noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program is available to provide coverage equivalent to the catastrophic risk
protection in areas where catastrophic risk protection is not
available and if such crop is produced for food or fiber.
The 1994 appropriation provided sufficient funding for crop
year 1994 to insure 83.9 million acres with an estimated

Financing.—The Corporation is authorized under the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, to use funds from the
issuance of capital stock which provides working capital for
the Corporation.
Receipts, which are for deposit to this fund, come mainly
from premiums paid by farmers. The principal payments from
this fund are for indemnities to insured farmers, and agents’
commissions.
Premium subsidies are authorized by section 508(b) of the
Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, and are received
from both those insured and through appropriations.
In 1994, the Corporation received a transfer of $376 million
from the Commodity Credit Corporation as a reserve against
losses in excess of premium in crop year 1994.

The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) was created to:
stabilize, support, and protect farm income and prices; help
maintain balanced and adequate supplies of agricultural commodities, their products, foods, feeds, and fibers; and help
in their orderly distribution.
The Corporation’s capital stock of $100 million is held by
the United States Treasury. Under present law, up to $30
billion may be borrowed from the U.S. Treasury to finance
operations.
Current, indefinite appropriation authority is requested to
cover all net realized losses. Appropriations to the Corporation
for net realized losses have no effect on budget authority
as they are used to repay debt directly with the Treasury.
Budget assumptions.—The following general assumptions
form the basis for the Corporation’s 1995 and 1996 budget
estimates: (a) National income will rise both in 1995 and
1996 from the present level; (b) 1995 crop production will
increase from 1994 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 1996 are expected to be slightly higher than 1995 levels; (d) yields for
the 1995 crops are based on recent averages adjusted for
trend; (e) acreage allotments and marketing quotas will be
in effect for the 1995 crops of certain kinds of tobacco; (f)
poundage quotas will be in effect for the 1995 crop of peanuts;
and (g) the ethanol use regulation, proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency in December 1993, will be in effect
in FY 1996, but with the implementation schedule delayed,
as it is currently the subject of a court stay of execution.
It is difficult to forecast with accuracy requirements for
the year ending September 30, 1996, since the projections
are subject to complex and unpredictable factors such as
weather, other factors which affect the volume of production
of crops not yet planted, feed and food needs here and overseas, and available dollar exchange.
The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) also significantly
affects the CCC budget estimates, since there are significant
interactive effects between the two baselines. The CCC baseline figures are lower due to the Secretary’s December 1994
announcement of CRP extensions, which are forecast to result
in almost 33 million CRP acres continuing to be enrolled
by the year 2000. If CRP acreage were limited to a lesser
amount, CCC outlays would be estimated to increase.
Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for
net realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations:

PROGRAMS OF THE CORPORATION

Price support and related stabilization programs.—The Corporation conducts programs to support farm income and
prices and stabilize the market for agricultural commodities.
Price support is provided to producers of agricultural commodities through loans, purchases, payments, and other means.
This is done mainly under the Commodity Credit Corporation
Charter Act, as amended, the Agricultural Act of 1949, as
amended, and the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as
amended.
Price support is mandatory for the basic commodities—corn,
cotton, wheat, rice, peanuts, and tobacco. The Agricultural

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Act of 1949, as amended, also requires support of the following nonbasic commodities: honey, milk, barley, oats, rye, grain
sorghum, sugar and oilseeds. The National Wool Act of 1954,
as amended requires support for wool and mohair. Support
for other nonbasic commodities is discretionary. The support
program may also include operations to remove and dispose
of surplus agricultural commodities in order to stabilize prices
at levels not in excess of those permissible by law.
One method of providing support is loans to and purchases
from producers. With limited exceptions, loans made on commodities are nonrecourse. The commodities serve as collateral
for the loan and on maturity the producer may deliver or
forfeit such collateral to satisfy the loan obligation without
further payment.
Direct purchases are also made from processors as well
as producers, depending on the commodity involved. Also,
special purchases are made under various laws for the removal of surpluses; for example, the Act of August 19, 1958,
as amended, and section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949,
as amended.
Acreage limitation program.—The Agricultural Act of 1949,
as amended, authorizes the Secretary to establish, through
the Corporation, acreage limitation programs for the 1991
through 1995 crops of wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, extra
long staple cotton, and rice. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 amended the Agricultural Act of 1949 to
authorize the Secretary to also establish, through the Corporation, acreage limitation programs for the 1996 and 1997
crops of upland cotton.
Marketing Assessments/Loan Origination Fees.—The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 and the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 amended the
National Wool Act of 1954 and the Agricultural Act of 1949
to require marketing assessments for wool and mohair, malting barley, peanuts, tobacco, honey, dairy, and sugar. A two
percent loan origination fee is required for oilseeds. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 amended the National Wool Act of 1954 and the Agricultural Act of 1949
to eliminate marketing assessments for wool and mohair effective with the 1993 marketing year and for honey effective
with the 1994 crop year. The two percent loan origination
fee for oilseeds was also eliminated effective with the 1994
crop year. Marketing assessments for peanuts, tobacco, and
sugar were also increased.
Options Pilot Program.—The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (P.L. 101–624), as amended,
authorizes the Secretary to conduct a pilot program for the
1991 through 1995 crops of corn and for the 1993 through
1995 crops of wheat and soybeans to determine whether options trading can be used by producers to obtain protection
from price fluctuations and the impact of such trading on
market prices of the commodities. An Options Pilot Program
was implemented for the 1993 and 1994 crops of corn, wheat,
and soybeans.
Land diversion payments.—The Secretary is authorized to
establish paid land diversion programs for wheat, feed grains,
upland cotton, extra long staple cotton, and rice.
Producer eligibility.—Producers of wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, extra long staple cotton, and rice must comply
with acreage limitation provisions in order to be eligible for
price support loans and purchases, deficiency payments and
other program benefits.
Deficiency payments.—The Agricultural Act of 1949, as
amended, establishes: (1) minimum established ‘‘target’’ prices
for the 1991 through 1995 crops of the following commodities—wheat, corn, upland cotton, rice, and ELS cotton; (2)
minimum price support loan and purchase levels for wheat,
feed grains, and rice; and (3) minimum price support loan
levels for upland cotton and ELS cotton. The Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 amended the Agricultural Act of

CORPORATIONS—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

157

1949 to also establish minimum target prices for the 1996
and 1997 crops of upland cotton. The Extra Long Staple Cotton Program, however, as a result of the Agricultural Act
of 1949, as amended, will end after the 1995 crop of cotton.
Deficiency payments for each of the commodities are required
when the target price for the commodity exceeds the national
average market price or the price support loan level, whichever is higher. The target prices for grain sorghum and oats
and, if designated by the Secretary, barley, are established
at a level which is fair and reasonable in relation to the
target prices established for corn. These payments may be
paid by cash or on a non-cash basis, including payments
in the form of commodities or commodity certificates that
may be exchanged for commodities owned by CCC.
Disaster payments.—The Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Relief from the Major, Widespread Flooding in
the Midwest Act of 1993, P.L. 103–75, enacted August 12,
1993, appropriated funds for 1993 crop losses due to damaging weather and related conditions. The Act also required
the $100,000,000 released on July 4, 1993, remain available
until June 30, 1994, and be used for 1993 crop disaster losses
only. An amount of $1,050,000,000 was made available immediately, with an additional amount of $300,000,000 to be
made available only to the extent the President declares such
funds to be an ‘‘emergency requirement’’ under the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 and submits a budget request. The use of CCC funds through exercise
of the Corporation’s existing borrowing authority was also
authorized if extraordinary circumstances existed that warranted further assistance from CCC. The President submitted
a budget request for the additional $300,000,000 appropriated
by P.L. 103–75 on August 12, 1993. The use of CCC funds
was also authorized on the same day.
The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Appropriations Act, 1995, P.L. 103–
330, enacted September 30, 1994, made available funds for
1994 crop losses due to natural disasters. The use of CCC
funds was authorized, to be made available only to the extent
the President declares such funds to be an ‘‘emergency requirement’’ under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 and submits a budget request for
a specific dollar amount. The President submitted a budget
request for the use of $1,000,000,000 in CCC funds on November 3, 1994.
The Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994, P.L. 103–
354, was enacted on October 13, 1994. The reform provisions
remove the authority in the Agricultural Act of 1949 for disaster payments and expand current crop insurance authorities
to provide for catastrophic coverage at 50 percent yield protection at a flat fee for crops currently covered by insurance
programs. Crop insurance coverage, where available, will be
mandatory for participants of the price and income support
programs. Where crop insurance is not available, producers
of crops for food and fiber and certain other crops will be
covered under a Noninsured Assistance Program. The program will reimburse producers at the same rates and terms
as the catastrophic program where assistance is triggered
by area wide disasters.
Marketing loan and certificate programs.—The Agricultural
Act of 1949, as amended, provides for a mandatory marketing
loan program for each of the 1991 through 1995 crops of
rice, upland cotton, and oilseeds and a discretionary marketing loan program for each of the 1991 through 1995 crops
of wheat, feed grains, and honey. Under a marketing loan
program, a producer may repay a price support loan at a
level that is lower than the original loan rate. Section 1302
of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 provides
that the Secretary shall permit producers to repay price support loans for 1993 through 1995 crops of wheat and feed
grains at such a lower level under certain circumstances relat-

ing to achievement of an agricultural trade agreement in connection with the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
(GATT). The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, provides
for payments, in the form of negotiable marketing certificates,
to first handlers of upland cotton (persons regularly engaged
in buying or selling upland cotton) and also provides for a
marketing certificate program for rice producers.
The Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, authorizes
the Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP) through calendar
year 1995. DEIP provides subsidies to exporters of U.S. dairy
products to help them compete with other subsidizing nations.

Grain reserves.—The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended,
authorizes a producer-owned grain reserve program for wheat
and feed grains that provides 27 month extended loans to
producers. Producers receive quarterly storage payments
under the contract. Program provisions establish when interest is charged and storage payments are earned. The Secretary opened the Farm Owned Reserve for the 1994-crop
of feed grains.
Dairy.—The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, provides
for a dairy price support program which sets the minimum
support price for milk at $10.10 per hundredweight through
December 1996. If, on January 1 of each year, a milk surplus
is estimated at less than 3.5 billion pounds, milk equivalent,
the support price will be increased by 25 cents per hundredweight. If the surplus is estimated to be more than 5.0 billion
pounds, milk equivalent, the support price will be decreased
by 25 to 50 cents per hundredweight. The support price will
be unchanged if the estimated surplus is estimated to be
between 3.5 and 5.0 billion pounds, milk equivalent, as is
assumed to be the case.
Payment limitations.—The Food, Agriculture, Conservation,
and Trade Act of 1990 and the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 amended the Food Security Act of 1985
to provide that the total amount of deficiency and land diversion payments, excluding any deficiency payment received as
the result of a reduction of the wheat or feed grain price
support loan level, that a person is entitled to receive under
one or more annual programs for feed grains, wheat, upland
cotton, ELS cotton, and rice for each of the 1991 through
1997 crops of these commodities shall not exceed $50,000.
For each of the 1991 through 1997 crops of wheat, feed grains,
upland cotton, rice, and oilseeds, gains from repaying a loan
at a lower level than the original loan level, loan deficiency
payments, and any deficiency payment received as a result
of a reduction of the wheat or feed grain price support level
shall not exceed $75,000. For each of the 1991 through 1997
crops the total amount of: (1) deficiency payments, land diversion payments, payments for resource adjustment (excluding
diversion payments) or public access for recreation, disaster
payments, loan deficiency payments, inventory reduction pay-

ments and gains realized from a marketing loan repayment
with respect to wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, ELS cotton,
rice, and oilseeds; and (2) gains realized by a producer from
repaying a loan less than the original loan level with respect
to other commodities, that a person shall be entitled to receive
under one or more of the annual programs for such commodities shall not exceed $250,000, except as otherwise may be
authorized by the Secretary. Annual rental payments made
under the Conservation Reserve Program are limited to
$50,000 per person. The Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended,
limits the total amount of benefits that a person may receive
annually under one or more of the emergency livestock assistance programs to $50,000. Starting with the 1991 crop, the
total amount of benefits that a person may receive under
one or more of the emergency livestock assistance programs
will be $50,000 per crop year rather than calendar year.
The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990
also amended the National Wool Act of 1954 to establish
payment limitation provisions for the 1991 through 1995 marketing years of wool and mohair and also amended the Agricultural Act of 1949 to establish payment limitation provisions for the 1991 through 1995 crops of honey. The Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 further amended the National Wool Act of 1954 to extend payment limitation provisions to the 1996 and 1997 marketing years and decrease
the payment limitations for the 1994 and 1995 marketing
years. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 also
amended the Agricultural Act of 1949 to extend payment
limitation provisions to the 1996 through 1998 crops of honey
and to decrease the payment limitation for the 1995 marketing year. The annual payment limitations for these commodities are: $200,000 in 1991; $175,000 in 1992; $150,000 in
1993; $125,000 in 1994; $100,000 in 1995; $75,000 in 1996;
and $50,000 in 1997. The annual payment limitations for
honey is also $50,000 in 1998. FY 1995 appropriations action
limited the honey program to make only non-subsidized loans
(i.e., loans cannot be forfeited with honey as collateral and
loans must be repaid at the same rate that the loan was
made) for the 1994 and 1995 crops of honey. The National
Wool Act Amendments of 1993 (P.L. 103–130), repealed the
National Wool Act of 1954 effective on December 31, 1995.
Supply and foreign purchases.—The Corporation can procure from domestic and foreign sources food, agricultural commodities, and products and related materials to supply the
needs of Federal agencies, foreign governments, and private
and international relief agencies, under section 5(b) and (c)
of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act, as amended.
Commodity exports.—The Corporation promotes the export
of agricultural commodities and products through sales for
dollars or foreign currency, payments, extension of credit, assumption of certain risks, and conduct of other operations
with respect to the exportation of commodities. Such commodities and products may be those held in private trade channels
as well as those acquired by the Corporation. These programs
are carried out under the authority of the CCC Charter Act
and other specific legislation.
Foreign donations.—Under the authority of section 416(b)
of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended, the Corporation
may furnish eligible commodities for carrying out programs
of assistance in developing and friendly countries under the
Food for Progress Act of 1985 and titles II and III of the
Agricultural Trade Development Act of 1954, as amended.
CCC may pay costs associated with making the commodities
available. Not to exceed $10 million of CCC funds or commodities may be used each fiscal year to enhance the development
of private sector agriculture in countries receiving commodities under the Food for Progress Act of 1985.

Government agencies. Administrative expenses are incurred
by: the Farm Service Agency (FSA); the Foreign Agricultural
Service; other agencies of the Department engaged in the
Corporation’s activities; and the Office of Inspector General
for audit. Additional expenses are incurred by FSA county
offices for work related to programs of the Corporation, other
FSA expenses offset by revenue, custodian, and agency expenses of the Federal Reserve banks and lending agencies,
and miscellaneous costs.
Expenses are incurred for acquisition, operation, maintenance, improvement, or disposition of existing property that
the Corporation owns or in which it has an interest. These
expenses are treated as program expenses. Such program expenses include inspection, classing, and grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or Federal- or
State-licensed inspectors; and special services performed by
Federal agencies within and outside this Department. Most
of these general expenses, including storage and handling,
transportation, inspection, classing and grading, and producer
storage payments, are included in program costs. They are
shown in the program and financing schedule in the entries
entitled ‘‘Storage, transportation, and other obligations not
included above,’’ and ‘‘Producer storage payments.’’
The Corporation receives reimbursement for grain requisitioned pursuant to Public Law 87–152 by the States from
Corporation stocks to feed resident wildlife threatened with
starvation through the appropriation reimbursement for net
realized losses. There have been no requisitions in recent
years, however.

Note.—Accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other outstanding obligations not reflected on this table do
not become charges against the statutory borrowing authority until they result in borrowings from the Treasury.

Contract authority.—Price support and other programs required by statute may result in the Corporation incurring
obligations in excess of available funds and borrowing authority. Such obligations are liquidated from subsequent appropriations and other funds that may become available to the
Corporation. Any increase in obligations in excess of available
fund resources is reported as contract authority in the year
involved; a decrease is reported as the application of appropriations and other funds to liquidate the authority.
Appropriations.—Under section 2 of Public Law 87–155 annual appropriations are authorized for each fiscal year to
reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses incurred
as of the close of each year.
The special activities are financed as indicated in the program descriptions above. In addition to certain reimbursements from other agencies, appropriations are made for the
National Wool Act (see above) and foreign assistance programs.
Deficit.—The net realized losses of the Corporation have
previously been reimbursed as follows:

SUPPORT AND RELATED PROGRAMS
[In thousands of dollars]

Funds of the Corporation are used to carry on this program.
Section 705 of the act appropriates each fiscal year an amount
equal to amounts expended by the Corporation during the
preceding year and to amounts expended in all prior fiscal
years not previously reimbursed, but not to exceed an amount
equal to 70 percent of the gross receipts from total duties
collected on wool and wool manufactures during the calendar
year preceding the fiscal year. The National Wool Act Amendments of 1993 (P.L. 103–130) repealed the National Wool
Act of 1954 effective December 31, 1995.
FINANCING

Borrowing authority.—The Corporation has an authorized
capital stock of $100 million held by the United States and,
effective in 1988, authority to have outstanding borrowings
up to $30 billion at any one time.
Funds are borrowed from the Treasury and may also be
borrowed from private lending agencies and others. The Corporation reserves a sufficient amount of its borrowing authority to purchase at any time all notes and other obligations
evidencing loans made to the Corporation by such agencies
and others. All bonds, notes, debentures, and similar obligations issued by the Corporation are subject to approval by
the Secretary of the Treasury as required by the Act of March
8, 1938.
Interest on borrowings from the Treasury (and on capital
stock) is paid at a rate based upon the average interest rate
of all outstanding marketable obligations (of comparable maturity date) of the United States as of the preceding month.
Interest is also paid on other notes and obligations at a rate
prescribed by the Corporation and approved by the Secretary
of the Treasury.

The Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund Program Account’s
loans are authorized by title III of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act, as amended.
This program account includes subsidies to provide direct
and guaranteed loans for farm ownership, farm operating,
emergency, and soil and water loans to individuals. Associations, Indian tribes and tribal corporations are eligible for
the following types of loans: Indian land acquisition, watershed protection, flood prevention, and resource conservation
and development.
Additional funding for 1995 was provided in section 726
of Public Law 103–330 and is available only for emergency
requirements as the President designates.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees
committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative expenses of this
program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on
a cash basis.

Technical assistance.—Technical assistance is provided
through 2,955 conservation districts or special districts to
land users and decisionmakers, including individual landowners and operators, community groups, units of government, Indian tribes, and others for the planning of conservation programs and installation of needed conservation systems
on the land, including design, layout, installation, and consultation services.
Combinations of needed soil and water conservation systems are planned in relation to each other to achieve wellbalanced conservation programs. Technicians explain the various soil conditions, develop alternative uses and treatments,
help to evaluate the costs and returns of conservation work,
and furnish onsite assistance to farmers, ranchers, and others
in applying the needed treatments. About 70 percent of the
total annual investment in conservation practices applied
through the conservation technical assistance program is
made by private landusers. During 1996, the National Resources Conservation Service will continue to provide technical assistance as needed for the Wetlands Reserve Program,
Water Bank Program, Colorado River Basin Salinity Control
Program, and the Conservation Reserve Program, and the
highly erodible land and wetland conservation provisions of
the Food Security Act of 1985 as amended by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990.

Also included in this item are the inventory and monitoring,
resource appraisal, and program development activities. Resource inventories are conducted to provide soil, water, and
related resource data for evaluating land-use changes and
trends; and for guidance in the development and implementation of Federal, State, and local resource conservation programs. Resource appraisal and program development provides
for periodic reports to the public and Congress as required
by the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977
as amended.
Soil surveys.—Soil surveys and investigations are made of
the Nation’s soil resources, with interpretations and publications that provide physical land facts needed for program
development, resource conservation planning, installation of
planned practices, and for use by other Federal, State, and
local agencies in making land-use decisions. National leadership is provided for digitizing soil surveys in cooperation with
States, and other users of soil survey data.

Snow survey water forecasting.—Water supply forecasts prepared from snow surveys in western states are used in making efficient seasonal use of water for irrigation, flood control,
fish and wildlife, recreation, power generation, municipal and
industrial water supply, and water quality management.
Operation of plant materials centers.—The selection and
evaluation of plant materials are made at 25 plant materials
centers through field trials to determine their suitability for
erosion control, conservation, and other environmental improvements. Native plant species will be preferred and exotic
species introductions phased out for this program.

The Department makes surveys of proposed small watershed projects, and work plans are prepared in cooperation
with local sponsors. These plans outline the soil and water
management problems in the watershed, the steps that have
been or are authorized to be taken to alleviate these problems,
the proposed works of improvement to be installed, the estimated benefits and costs, cost sharing, operation and maintenance arrangements, and other information necessary to justify Federal participation in project development. Watershed
planning will emphasize water quality protection and improvement. This emphasis will better enable States to focus
on watersheds in fulfilling the requirements of the Clean
Water Act and in maintaining clean water.

These programs provide for cooperation between the Federal Government and States and their political subdivisions
to reduce damage from floodwater, sediment, and erosion,
for the conservation, development, utilization, and disposal
of water, and for the conservation and proper utilization of
land.
Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 534.—The
Department cooperates with soil conservation districts and
other local organizations in planning and installing works
of improvement for flood prevention in 11 watersheds authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944. The Federal Government shares the cost of works of improvement for flood prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish
and wildlife development. No funds are directly proposed for
this activity; however worthwhile projects, those with high
net social benefits and environmental objectives consistent
with current Administrations priorities, can be continued
under the Small Watershed Operations authorized by Public
Law 566.
Within the 11 authorized projects, 428 subwatershed areas
have been identified for planning purposes. Installation
progress in these subwatersheds is as follows:

Emergency watershed protection operations.—This program
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to undertake such
emergency measures for runoff retardation and soil erosion
prevention as may be needed to safeguard life and property
from floods and the products of erosion on any watershed
whenever natural elements or forces cause a sudden impairment of that watershed. An emergency is considered to exist
when a watershed is suddenly impaired by flood, fire, wind,
earthquake, or other natural cause and consequently life and
property are endangered by floodwater, erosion, or sediment
discharge. The emergency area need not be declared a national disaster area to be eligible for emergency watershed
protection. Emergency watershed protection is applicable to
small scale, localized disasters as well as large scale disasters.
State environmental, natural resource, fish and game, and
other agencies participate in planning and coordinating emergency work.
Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law
566.—The Department provides technical and financial assistance to local organizations to install measures for watershed
protection, flood prevention, agricultural water management,
recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. Significant reforms will be carried out in FY 1995 to make this program
environmentally beneficial, with high returns to society resulting from the investment. High priority P.L. 534 projects
will be eligible to compete for funding for P.L. 566 funding.
Watershed work plans are prepared by sponsoring local
organizations with the Department’s assistance or through
State and local resources. After work plans are approved by
the Department or Congress (projects where the estimated
Federal contribution will exceed $5 million require congressional approval), financial assistance is provided for specific
works of improvements.

Under this program, the Department assists States, local
units of government, groups and individuals in developing
area plans for resource conservation and development
(RC&D).
RC&D areas are provided technical and financial assistance
to help States and local units of government prepare plans
for resource development and economic improvement and to
plan and install community-type conservation projects or
measures. Financial contributions, loans, and other Federal
assistance are used to help carry out measures specified in
RC&D area plans. Loans are made through the farm loan
program of the Farm Service Agency, formerly the Farmers
Home Administration, to qualified local organizations to help
finance their share of the costs of installing the measures.
The following tabulation shows the status of RC&D areas
authorized to receive technical and financial assistance.

This program was authorized by the Cooperative Forestry
Assistance Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2101). The objectives of
the program are to bring private, nonindustrial forest land
under intensified management, to increase timber production,
to ensure adequate supplies of timber products, and to enhance other forest resources. Acreage selected will be targeted
to provide the maximum environmental benefits, particularly
to benefit water quality and wildlife habitat.
The Forestry Incentives Program shares up to 65 percent
of the cost of tree planting and timberstand improvement.
The percentage cost-shared depends on the rate set in a particular State and county by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), after consulting with the State forester.
The program is available in designated counties based on
a Forest Service survey of total eligible private timberland
available for production of timber products. Technical assistance is provided by Forest Service.

The objectives of the Water Bank Program are to conserve
water; preserve, maintain, and improve the Nation’s wetlands;
increase waterfowl habitat in migratory waterfowl nesting,
breeding, and feeding areas in the United States; and secure
recreational and environmental benefits for the Nation. The
program was authorized by the Water Bank Act of 1970,
as amended by Public Law 96–182, approved January 2, 1980.
The Water Bank Extension Act of 1994 extends for one year
1985 agreements entered into under this Water Bank Act
of 1970, and due to expire on December 31, 1995. Funding
for the expiring 1985 Water Bank agreements will be transferred from the Wetlands Reserve Program FY 1995 appropriation to this account as authorized under the Water Bank
Extension Act of 1994.
The Secretary of Agriculture, through designated county
offices, uses program funds to enter into 10-year agreements
with landowners and operators for the conservation of specified wetlands. Provisions exist to renew agreements for additional periods, to make annual payments on agreements, and
under certain conditions to increase payment rates in the
fifth year of a contract or at the time of renewal. During
the period of the agreement, the landowner agrees not to
drain, burn, fill, or otherwise destroy the wetland character
of such areas.
During fiscal year 1995, USDA plans to enter into approximately 540 agreements on about 63,000 acres of wetlands.

this account will be requested under Conservation Operations.
The Wetlands Reserve Program is authorized by Title XIV,
Section 1438 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and
Trade Act of 1990 (P.L. 101–624), as amended by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.L. 103–66). The 1993
Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act authorizes the enrollment
of not less than 330,000 acres by the end of calendar year
1995, and not less than 975,000 total cumulative acres enrolled by the end of calendar year 2000. The primary objectives of the program are to preserve and restore wetlands,
improve wildlife habitat, and protect migratory waterfowl.
The Secretary of Agriculture, through designated county
offices, uses program funds to enter into contracts with landowners that operate farmed or converted wetlands, farmed
wetlands, or prior converted wetlands and adjoining land or
riparian corridors. The contracts are for permanent easements
or easements of thirty years or the maximum allowable under
State law.
Under the 1992 program, 34,064 acres were accepted in
9 pilot States. No funding was provided for operating a fiscal
year 1993 program.
The 1994 program will provide funding for enrolling 75,000
acres in 20 States, including the nine pilot States. The 1995
program will provide funding for enrolling 118,823 acres. The
FY 1995 appropriation was amended by the Water Bank Extension Act of 1994 to provide $889,800 for expiring 1985
water bank agreements. Funds will be transferred from the

This experimental Rural Clean Water Program, authorized
by Public Law 96–108 and Public Law 96–528, is a cooperative endeavor among farmers, various USDA agencies, and
other organizations to develop and test means of controlling
agricultural nonpoint source water pollution in rural areas.
Recommended project areas were developed by local and
State committees and approved by the Secretary of Agriculture in consultation with the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Full funding has been provided
in previous budgets for all approved projects.
The 1996 budget requires no additional funding for implementing this program. Similar activities will be carried out
through the Agricultural Conservation Program.

The Rural Utilities Service conducts the rural electrification
and the rural telecommunications loan programs. The rural
electrification loan program is financed through RUS direct
loans for the operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems. The rural telecommunications loan program is financed through RUS direct
loans for construction, expansion, acquisition, and operation
of telecommunications lines and facilities or systems. In 1996,
RUS will maintain $100 million in 5 percent direct electric
loans, and provide $575 million in municipal rate rural eletric
loans. RUS will also provide $75 million in 5 percent direct
telecommunications loans in 1996. The remaining electric and
telecommunications loans will be provided at the Treasury
interest rate. In addition, electric and telecommunications
loans will also be made at the FFB rate, which is the Treasury rate plus one-eighth of one percent.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
loans obligated and the loan guarantees committed in 1992
and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan
guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in
any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program.
The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis;
the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for the Rural Telephone Bank, all cash
flows to and from the Government resulting from direct loans
obligated prior to 1992. This account is shown on a cash
basis. All new activity in this program in 1992 and beyond
(including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees
that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year)
is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts.
The Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) provided a supplemental
source of financing for rural telephone borrowers. The Bank
charged an interest rate based on the cost of money to the
Bank, as prescribed by law, but not less than 5 percent per
annum. The composite interest rate on cumulative loans
through September 30, 1994, was 7.23 percent. The longterm interest rate on advances made during FY 1994 for
loans approved after October 1, 1987, is 6.15 percent.
Equity capital of the Bank consists of class A stock purchased by the United States of $592 million with a 2 percent
dividend and classes B and C stock purchased by bank borrowers, organizations eligible to become borrowers and organizations controlled by borrowers. The Bank has borrowed $759
million from the Treasury. A total of $252,776,145, at interest
rates ranging from 11.5 percent to 14.6 percent was repaid
during the fiscal year. The outstanding balance of
$505,985,855, is at interest rates of 7.25 percent to 11.5 percent. The $592 million purchase of capital stock has been
financed through appropriations.
Administrative support is provided for the general operations of the Bank by RUS employees and the Office of the
General Counsel.
Bank loans totaled $200 million in 1994. After almost 22
years in operation, loans to 627 borrowers have been approved, totaling over $3.178 billion.
Beginning in fiscal year 1996 the Rural Telephone Bank
will be privatized consistent with current law and will function as a private entity.

The Rural Development Insurance Fund (RDIF) was established on October 1, 1972, pursuant to section 116 of the
Rural Development Act of 1972 (Public Law 92–419).
The fund is used to insure or guarantee loans for water
systems and waste disposal facilities, community facilities,
and industrial development in rural areas. Communities unable to afford low interest loans for water and waste disposal
facilities are also able to obtain water and waste water disposal grants.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, all cash flows to and
from the Government resulting from direct loans obligated
and loan guarantees committed prior to the 1992. New loan
activity in 1992 and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts.
In FY 1994, these loan programs were administered by
the Rural Development Administration. Under reorganization
of the Department of Agriculture, the water and waste direct
and guaranteed loan programs are administered by the Rural
Utilities Service, the community facility direct and guaranteed
loan programs are adminsitered by the Rural Housing and

The Secretary’s reorganization plan established the new
Rural Housing and Community Development Service
(RHCDS). This agency was formed from the Rural Housing
section of Farmers Home Administration and the Community
Facilities Division of the Rural Development Administration.
RHCDS will deliver rural housing and community facility
programs through a system of State, area, and local offices.

The Rural Telephone Bank Equity Fund was established
in 1993. Class B Stock equity funds transferred to this account include: (1) five percent of each loan repayment received
in the financing account and (2) current class B Stock purchases in the liquidating account. Redemption of Class A
Stock will occur in 1996, as allowed by law to achieve the
privatization of the Rural Telephone Bank. The funds accumulated in this account along with an additional appropriation will be used to retire 100 percent of the Class A, Federally-held stock in FY 1996. After such retirement, the RTB
will be fully privatized and off-budget. Authorizing legislation
will be proposed in FY 1996 to facilitate privatization.

The rental assistance program is authorized under section
521(a)(2) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and is
designed to reduce rents paid by very low-income and lowincome families living in RHCDS’ financed rural rental and
farm labor housing projects. Funding under this account is
provided for renewals of existing rental assistance contracts,
assistance for newly constructed units financed by the section
515 rural rental and cooperative housing program or the 514/
516 farm labor housing loan and grant programs, and for
additional servicing assistance for existing projects. Assistance is also provided in lieu of debt forgiveness or payments
for eligible households to subsidize tenant rents in projects
purchased by eligible nonprofit organizations or public agencies as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Act.
From 1978 through 1991, the rental assistance program
was funded under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund. Beginning in 1992, pursuant to Credit Reform, a separate grant
account was established for this program.

This account provides funding to local governments for the
construction and improvement of community facilities providing essential services in rural areas, such as hospitals and
fire stations.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees
committed in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative
expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated
on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are
estimated on a cash basis.
Under the reorganization of the Department of Agriculture,
the Community Facilities direct loan program and the Community Facilities guaranteed loan program are administered
through the newly created Rural Community Facility Loans
Program Account. Previously, the programs were administered through the Rural Development Administration’s Rural
Development Insurance Fund Program Account.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The Food, Agriculture Conservation and Trade Act Amendments of 1992, P.L. 102–237, and Secretary’s Memorandum
1020.34, dated December 31, 1992, established the Rural Development Administration. Major functions of the Agency included the efficient delivery of programs of financial and technical assistance to rural communities concerning water and
waste disposal, essential community facilities, other community services, and business financing. This Agency also provided national leadership for rural development by focusing
attention on high priority development opportunities and facilitating collaborative operations among government agencies
and other development organizations. Under reorganization
of the Department of Agriculture, these programs and services
will be provided by the Rural Utilities Service, the Rural
Housing and Community Development Service, and the Rural
Business and Cooperative Development Service.

Grants for rural technology were authorized by section 2347
of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade (FACT) Act
of 1990. These grants will be made available to public bodies
and nonprofit organizations to fund the establishment and
operation of centers for rural technology or cooperative development with their primary purpose being the improvement
of economic conditions in rural areas. Grants may be used
to promote the development and commercialization of new
services and products that can be produced or provided to
rural areas; new processes that can be utilized in the production of products in rural areas; and new enterprises that
add value to on-farm production through processing or marketing. RBCDS proposes to fund up to 75 percent of any
project funded for technology development and require at
least a 25 percent matching share from the applicant which
must be from non-Federal sources.

Loans from the Rural Development Loan Fund are made
to intermediary borrowers (i.e., small investment groups), who
in turn relend the funds to small rural businesses, community
development corporations, or other organizations for the purpose of improving economic opportunities in rural areas.
Through the use of local intermediaries, this program is able
to serve small-scale enterprises and give preference to those
communities with the greatest need.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, all cash flows to and
from the Government resulting from direct loans obligated
prior to 1992. New loan activity in 1992 and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts.

Funds support programs authorized by the Alternative Agricultural Research and Commercialization Act of 1990 (7
U.S.C. 5901 et seq.). This Act authorizes the provision of
assistance on a competitive basis to foster the development
and commercialization of new nonfood, nonfeed products derived from agricultural and forestry commodities. Development of nontraditional uses for farm, ranch and forestry products provides an opportunity to improve U.S. competitiveness
in foreign markets, create development and employment opportunities in rural areas, address environmental concerns
and lower farm program costs. Programs are managed by

The Foreign Agricultural Service mission is to help American farmers and traders take maximum advantage of increased opportunities to sell U.S. agricultural commodities
abroad and to help increase U.S. farm income.
Activities are conducted within four program areas:
Foreign agricultural affairs.—The Service maintains agri´
cultural counselors or attaches at 63 foreign posts to assist
overseas development of markets for U.S. farm commodities.
They work closely with numerous U.S. agricultural trade
groups and maintain significant contacts with foreign governments and traders to promote market access for U.S. farm
products. They also file annually about 5,000 comprehensive
reports regarding foreign agricultural production, supply, demand, marketing, and trade policy developments to keep U.S.
agriculture, industry, and Government currently informed.
Foreign market information and access.—Under this broad
program heading, the Service initiates, directs, and coordinates the Department’s formulation of trade policies and programs with the goal of maintaining and expanding world
markets for U.S. agricultural products. The Service is responsible for the development and maintenance of the USDA statistical data base encompassing foreign production estimates,
trade data, export forecasts, economic indicators, price data
and export sales reporting. These data are collected, analyzed,
and disseminated to U.S. farm and trade groups providing
ready access to reliable information to assess short-term
changes in world agricultural supply and demand conditions
by commodity.
The analyses of world commodity conditions provide the
information necessary to develop export marketing strategies
that can be used by the Department not only to gain market
access but to enhance the long term market development
plans for major U.S. commodities.
Foreign market development.—This program provides funding support to over 40 commodity associations (cooperators),
4 regional groups (representing 47 State departments of agriculture) and the National Association of State Departments
of Agriculture. Under FAS guidance and supervision, these
organizations conduct an extensive worldwide market development program on behalf of the U.S. farm sector. In addition,
the Service maintains 12 agricultural trade offices located
in key markets around the world. Working closely with cooperators, through these offices, the Service develops and operates a worldwide system of multicommodity promotional
programs utilizing product exhibits, trade teams, trade serv-

ices, market information programs, and trade referral services
to expand overseas markets.
International Cooperation and Development.—Under this
program heading are the activities carried out by the former
Office of International Cooperation and Development. This
activity promotes U.S. agriculture and the advancement of
agriculture in developing countries through a number of complementary programs. Direct program activities include the
administration of the Cochran Fellowship Program which provides food industry training to senior and mid-level professionals from the public and private sectors of selected middleincome countries and emerging democracies, and management
of USDA’s bilateral exchange and cooperative research programs with foreign governments and institutions.
At the request of the Agency for International Development,
international organizations and foreign governments, technical assistance and training in agriculture and rural development is provided on a reimbursable or advance of funds basis.
Programs are ongoing in over 80 countries focused on such
activities as land and water management, pest control, crop
and livestock production and conservation.
The General Sales Manager was established pursuant to
section 5(f) of the Charter Act of the Commodity Credit Corporation and 15 U.S.C. 714–714p. The funds allocated are
used for conducting the following programs: (1) CCC Export
Credit Guarantee Program (GSM–102), (2) Intermediate Credit Guarantee Program (GSM–103), (3) Export Enhancement
Program, (4) Market Promotion Program, (5) Public Law 480,
(6) Section 416 Overseas Donations, (7) Food for Progress,
(8) Dairy Export Incentive Program, (9) Sunflowerseed Oil
Assistance Program, (10) Cottonseed Oil Assistance Program,
and (11) programs authorized by the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act including barter, export sales of CCCowned commodities, export payments and other programs as
assigned to encourage or cause the export of U.S. agricultural
commodities. The General Sales Manager is funded through
a discretionary transfer from CCC and funds made available
from the CCC Export Guarantee Program Account and P.L.
480 Program Account.

Debt reduction is authorized for P.L. 480 Title I under
Title VI of the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954, as amended. Debt reduction for outstanding
Title I direct credit as of January 1, 1990 is authorized for
Latin American and Caribbean countries which meet certain
eligibility requirements including pursuing economic reform
programs with the International Monetary Fund and World
Bank, placing into effect major investment reforms in conjunction with an InterAmerican Development Bank Loan and,
if applicable, arranging with its commercial bank lenders a
debt service reduction. In fiscal year 1993, the U.S. government signed debt reduction agreements with El Salvador and
Uruguay reducing P.L. 480 Title I debt outstanding by 80%
and 40%, respectively.

As part of a comprehensive package of U.S. assistance for
Russia announced by the President in April 1993,
$385,000,000 was transferred from CCC to Food for Progress
under provisions of the Secretary of Agriculture’s Interchange
Authority (7 U.S.C. 2257) for commodity and related transportation assistance.
Sales under the credit portion of the Food for Progress
program for Russia carry a term of fifteen years, including
a seven year grace period. The interest rates are three percent
during the grace period and four percent thereafter. Funding
for commodity and ocean freight financing is under P.L. 480
Title I FFP and is subject to credit reform budgeting. All
shipments are expected to be completed in FY 1995.

Title II

Title III

Financing sales of agricultural commodities to developing
countries for dollars on credit terms, or for local currencies
(including for local currencies on credit terms) for use under
sec. 104; and for furnishing commodities to carry out the Food
for Progress Act of 1985, as amended (title I).—Funds appropriated for P.L. 480 are used to finance all sales made pursuant to agreements concluded under the authority of Title I.
The Corporation may serve as the purchasing or shipping
agent, or both, for the importing country or may award contracts for freight agent services on behalf of the Corporation
to handle shipping of commodities under P.L. 480.
Sales are made to developing countries as defined in section
402(4) of P.L. 480 and must not displace expected commercial
sales (secs. 403(e) and (h)). Agreements are made with developing countries for delivery in accordance with the terms
of the agreement.
When U.S.-flag vessels are required to ship commodities
under this title, the Corporation will pay the difference between U.S.-flag rates and foreign-flag rates. In limited cases,
full transportation costs to port-of-entry or point-of-entry
abroad may be included along with the cost of the commodity
in the amount financed by CCC in order to ensure that U.S.
food aid can reach the most needy recipients.
Financing sales of agricultural commodities for dollars on
credit terms (title I).—Payment by recipient countries may
be made over a period of not less than 10 nor more than
30 years with a deferral of principal payments for up to
7 years. Interest accrues at a concessional rate as determined
appropriate.
Section 411 of P.L. 480 authorizes the President to waive
payments of principal and interest under dollar credit sales
agreements for countries that meet certain enumerated requirements. Such debt relief may be provided only if the
President notifies Congress and may not exceed the amount
approved for such purpose in an Act appropriating funds to
carry out P.L. 480.
Financing sales of agricultural commodities for local currency, including for local currency on credit terms.—Payment

by a recipient country may be made in local currencies for
use in carrying out activities under section 104 of P.L. 480.
Foreign currency received in payment for credit extended
may be used for payment of U.S. obligations abroad, subject

Furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress
Act of 1985, as amended (title I).—Funds appropriated to
carry out title I may be used to furnish commodities to carry
out the Food for Progress Act of 1985. Such commodities
may be furnished on credit terms or on a grant basis in
order to assist developing countries and countries that are
emerging democracies that have made a commitment to introduce and expand free enterprise elements in their agricultural
economies.
Total title I agreements made since inception of the program to September 30, 1994 amount to $20,861.9 million
cost value, including ocean freight for shipments on U.S. flagships. Major commodities are wheat, cotton, oils, rice and
feed grains. Payments received during the period amount to
$7,864.9 million, of which $4,466.6 million was applied to
principal and $3,398.3 million to interest. The following table

Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions
abroad (title II).—Under title II, agricultural commodities are
furnished to meet famine or other emergency relief needs,
combat malnutrition, carry out activities to alleviate the
causes of hunger, mortality and morbidity, promote economic
and community development, promote sound environmental
practices, and carry out feeding programs. Agricultural commodities are provided through governments for emergencies
only, and for non-emergencies through public and private
agencies, including intergovernmental organizations.
The Corporation is authorized to pay the costs of acquisition, packaging, processing, enrichment, preservation, fortification, transportation, handling, and other incidental costs
incurred up to the time of delivery at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight charges, and pays transportation
costs to points of entry other than ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific country are not
available, where ports cannot be used effectively, or where

pays general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition, transportation costs from designated points
of entry or ports of entry abroad to storage and distribution
sites and associated storage and distribution costs may be
paid for commodities made available to meet urgent and extraordinary relief requirements.
Through September 30, 1994, appropriations totaling
$25,850 million were authorized. Any incidental sales proceeds and proceeds from loss, damage, and other claims are
applied against costs to reflect a reduction in appropriation
requests. The following table reflects the composition of the

Road and trail construction.—Roads and trails are essential
to the protection and management of the National Forest
System, as well as providing access to National Forest System
areas for recreation and utilization of their resources. Of the
revenues received annually from National Forest activities,
10 percent is transferred to the General Fund of the Treasury
with a comparable amount appropriated to this account for
road and trail construction activities.
Timber purchaser construction.—Roads may be constructed
and/or reconstructed by a timber purchaser who in turn receives credit against timber value as a reimbursement. These
roads are those required within a timber sale area specifically
for the removal of the timber, but which will remain on the
National Forest development road system for resource management purposes after the timber sale contract is completed.

Research is conducted and disseminated through eight regional forest experiment stations (proposal pending to consolidate to six stations) and the Forest Products Laboratory, and
includes both in-house and extramural programs.
Research Foundation Program.—The Foundation program
provides the underpinning or base of scientific and technical
expertise needed to address the long term natural resource
research needs of our nation and the world. It houses the
core research of the Forest Service and provides the scientific
infrastructure that enables it to quickly respond to current
and future problems as they arise. The Foundation program
is home to many long-term studies which provide the fundamental scientific base for focusing on critical research issues and needs. Research charged to this budget line item
(BLI) primarily provides the scientific and technical information needed to solve natural resource management problems
which generally require study over a long time frame.

FOREST SERVICE—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Resources and Management Research (National Problems).—Research under this BLI focuses on critical issues
and special needs of national significance. The national problems will change over time as answers are provided by ongoing research and new issues of importance emerge. Funds
in this BLI support activities which address the following
national problems: Global Change; Human and Natural Resources Interactions; Recycling and Wood Uses; Threatened,
Endangered, and Sensitive Plant and Animal Species; Inventory and Monitoring; and the President’s Forest Plan for the
Pacific Northwest.
Ecosystems Research. (USDA Forestry Research Initiative).—This BLI focuses on research for restoring and sustaining healthy forest eocsystems and consists solely of appropriated funds for the USDA Forestry Research Initiative.
Funds in this BLI support activities chargeable to the selected
competitive ecosystem management studies and the President’s Forest Plan for the Pacific Northwest as allocated to

For necessary expenses for firefighting on or adjacent to National
Forest System lands or other lands under fire protection agreement,
and for forest fire management and presuppression on National Forest System lands, ø$159,590,000¿ $164,285,000, to remain available
until expended: Provided, That unexpended balances of amounts previously appropriated for this purpose under the heading ‘‘Forest Service Firefighting’’, Forest Service, may be transferred to and merged
with this appropriation and accounted for as one appropriation for

The appropriation provides funds for Forest Service fire
management, presuppression, and suppression on National
Forest System (NFS) lands, adjacent State and private lands,
and other lands under fire protection agreement.
Fire presuppression.—The fire presuppression program provides the capability to prevent forest fires and to take prompt,
effective initial suppression action on wildfires. The Forest
Service uses appropriate suppression action commensurate
with
land
and
resource
management
objectives.
Presuppression funding covers salaries and expenses associated with planning; information and education; pre-incident
training; equipment and supply purchase and replacement;
and other presuppression activities. Once a wildfire occurs,
presuppression funding continues through discovery, dispatch,
and establishment of the base level suppression organization,
including base salaries of the regular, preplanned Forest Service firefighting organization. The Forest Service assists other
Federal agencies and States through training programs, plan-

ning assistance, sharing joint use equipment contracts and
interagency fire coordination centers.
Fuels management.—This program plans, executes, and
supports fuel management activities including inventorying
fuel hazards, analysis of treatment alternatives, determination of appropriate fuel treatment methods, and fuel treatment accomplishments. Reduced damage to natural resources
on both National Forest System lands and adjacent private
and public lands is the principal benefit. Fuels management
activities result in less intense wildfires, and lower fire suppression costs. High priority areas include the dead and dying
timbered areas throughout the West, including California and
the Blue Mountains in Oregon, and the short needle pine
areas in the Southeast.

Congress of his designation of any or all of these amounts as emergency requirements under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended, and (2) if the amounts annually
appropriated under this heading, but not designated as emergency
requirements pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(D)(i) of the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended,
have been at least equal to the most recent ten-year historical average, less any enacted cost saving program reforms: Provided further,
That the entire amount is designated by Congress as an emergency
requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(D)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.¿ (Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1995.)

Emergency Forest Service Firefighting Fund.—The program
is designed to efficiently suppress wildland fires on or threatening National Forest System (NFS) lands; to immediately
and efficiently rehabilitate burned-over NFS lands, and to
prevent further destruction of natural resources. The program
provides for both the direct expenses required to suppress
wildfires on or threatening NFS lands or other lands under
fire protection agreement and the emergency rehabilitation
of burned-over NFS lands. It also may be used to increase
the level of fire presuppression capability and preparedness
when predicted or actual burning conditions exceed those normally expected. For reasons of economic efficiency, the Chief
of the Forest Service may also authorize use of this fund
to finance costs of presuppression activities to achieve the
most efficient level of funding consistent with the National
Fire Management Analysis System (NFMAS) model.

This appropriation consolidates three land acquisition authorities for acquisition of lands, waters, or interest therein,
as authorized by law.
Land and water conservation fund.—Recreation lands and
interests are acquired within areas of the National Forest
System, wilderness, wildlife and fisheries habitat management areas, and endangered species and other areas for public outdoor recreation purposes.
Acquisition of lands for national forests (Special Acts).—
On the basis of various public laws and agreements with
certain counties in Utah, Nevada and California, National
Forest receipts, including the portions which would normally
be paid to the State to benefit county roads and schools,
are used by the Federal Government for purchase of privately
owned lands within the National Forest boundaries to aid
in the control of soil erosion and flood damage.
Acquisition of lands to complete land exchanges.—This is
a special account for deposits made by State, county, or municipal governments, public school districts or other public
school authorities for cash equalization of certain land exchanges. When appropriated, the funds are used to acquire
similar lands suitable for National Forest System purposes
in the same State as the National Forest lands conveyed
in the land exchange.

equipment. This equipment is rented to administrative units,
that is, National Forests, research experiment stations, and
other units, and, in some cases, to other agencies, at rates
which recover the cost of operation, repair and maintenance,
management, and depreciation. The rates also include an increment which provides additional cash which, when added
to depreciation earnings and the residual value of equipment,
provides sufficient funds to replace the equipment.
Aircraft Services.—The fund operates, maintains, and repairs Forest Service owned aircraft used in fire surveillance
and suppression and in other Forest Service programs. The
aircraft are rented to National Forests, research experiment
stations, and in some cases to other agencies, at rates which
recover the cost of depreciation, operation, maintenance, repair, and improvements in the airworthiness of the aircraft.
Aircraft replacement costs are financed from either appropriated funds or the Forest Service Working Capital Fund,
or a combination of both.
Supply Services.—The fund operates the following common
services:
Photo reproduction laboratories that store, reproduce, and
supply aerial photographs, aerial maps, and other photographs of National Forest lands. The photographic reproductions are sold to National Forests, experiment stations, and
others at cost.
Sign shops that manufacture and supply special signs for
the National Forests for use in regulating traffic and as information to the public and other users of the National Forests.
The signs are sold to National Forests and experiment stations at cost.
Subsistence services that prepare and serve meals to Forest
Service crews working in areas where adequate public restaurant facilities are not available.
Seed supply services that provide tree seed for direct seeding or sowing in nurseries for the production of trees. Includes
purchase or collection of cones, extraction of seeds, cleaning
and testing, and storage and delivery. Operates in conjunction
with tree nurseries.
Tree nurseries that operate forest tree nurseries and cold
storage facilities for storage of tree seedlings. Tree seedlings
are sold to National Forests, State foresters, and other cooperators at cost.
