øOFFICE

OF THE

SECRETARY¿—Continued

The Office of the Secretary covers the overall planning,
coordination, and administration of the Department’s programs. This includes the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under
Secretaries, Assistant Secretaries, and their immediate staffs,
who provide top policy guidance for the Department; maintain
relationships with agricultural organizations and others in
the development of farm programs; and provide liaison with
the Executive Office of the President and Members of Congress on all matters pertaining to agricultural policy.
The budget includes continued funding for several security
related items funded by the Emergency response fund in response to September 11, 2001. Funding in Office of the Secretary totals $28 million, of which $18 million is for Departmental administration for building security in the Washington, D.C., area and other terrorism protection costs, $5
million is for APHIS and $5 million is for ARS.
The budget proposes to provide $5 million in funding for
the Department of Agriculture’s workforce and organizational
streamlining and restructuring efforts. Department of Agriculture agencies requesting use of the funds will provide an
approved streamlining or restructuring plan and a cost benefit
analysis to the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary of
Agriculture, in coordination with the Chief Financial Officer,
will approve funding. The Secretary of Agriculture, in coordination with the Chief Financial Officer, will be responsible
for providing the funding and analyzing the results of streamlining and restructuring efforts. This is in direct support of
the President’s Management Agenda item on strategic management of human capital.
Funds are available for any of an array of activities that
support streamlining and restructuring, such as county office
cross-training, collocation expenses, workplace restructuring,
development of satellite offices, centralized servicing of payments or loans, etc. In subsequent years, success of implementing streamlining and restructuring plans will be considered in funding new efforts.

The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of
1996 (1996 Act) initially established the Fund for Rural America to provide support to rural communities across the United
States.
The 1996 Farm Bill authorized $100 million for the Fund
in each of 1997, 1999, and 2000.
The Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998, P.L. 105–185 extended authorization for
the Fund for Rural America through October 1, 2002, but
reduced the amount to be available annually for the Fund
to $60 million beginning in 1999.
For 2001, the first year availability of the 2001 appropriation for the Fund for Rural America was blocked. Further,
of the $60 million in 2000 carryover funds, the Secretary
was allowed by Congress to spend only $30 million in 2001.
Congress prohibited spending funds in 2002 with the exception of administration and oversight of grants awarded prior
to enactment of the 2002 Agriculture Appropriations Act. In
2001, the Secretary allocated $20 million of the available
$30 million in funding to support rural business grants, outreach for socially disadvantaged producers, farm labor loans
and other ongoing rural development activities. Another $10
million was used to support research, education, and extension proposals.
The 2003 budget proposes blocking the $100 million in 2001
and 2002 funds available in 2003. The 2003 budget also proposes blocking the availability of the $60 million in 2003
funding. The specific appropriations language for these funding changes is included as part of the General Provisions.

The Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to procure and use computer systems in a manner that enhances efficiency, productivity, and client services, and that promotes computer information sharing among agencies of the Department. In addition, the Clinger Cohen Act of 1996 requires USDA to maximize the value of information technology acquisitions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of USDA programs. Congress passed new legislation in 2000, ‘‘The Freedom to EFile Act,’’ that requires agencies to make more services available to the public electronically. The USDA Service Center
Modernization Initiative (SCMI) has been working to restructure county field offices, modernize and integrate business
approaches and replace the current stove-piped and aging
information systems with a modern common computing environment (CCE) that optimizes information sharing, customer
service, and staff efficiencies. The funds requested under this
account would fund essential capital investments needed to
implement the modernization plan. Economies of scale in the
procurement and management of information technology systems present compelling arguments for coordinating information technology investments. Without these investments, the
Department’s ability to provide timely and efficient services
will continue to erode and the costs of maintaining the separate, aging systems will increase. The increase of $70 million
is to fund increased costs for information technology investments by the three Service Center agencies (Farm Service
Agency, Natural Resources and Conservation Service, and
Rural Development). An additional $4 million is requested
to fund ongoing projects necessary to implement the e-gov
initiative. In lieu of providing the funding to each individual
agency, funding is being provided through the CCE account
to encourage increased oversight on expenditures. This change
only applies to increased requests for funding. Funding already built into agency budgets to support the CCE remain
within each agency’s budget. Additional funds in the individual agency budgets will support some CCE investments,

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. In addition, the Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years
which provides comprehensive data on the Nation’s agricultural industry down to the county level.
The work under this activity is conducted through 46 field
offices serving the 50 States and Puerto Rico; most of these
offices are operated as joint State and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies provide additional
State and county data. The 2003 program includes a reengineered Agricultural Resource Management Survey, the development of a locality based agricultural county estimates/small
area estimation program, e-government data dissemination
and electronic data reporting and enhancements for improvements to the computer security architecture.
Statistical research and service.—This activity is designed
to improve the statistical methods and related technologies
by improving sample survey designs and procedures and by
testing new forecasting and estimating techniques, such as
the use of remote sensing and geographic information systems.
Census of Agriculture.—The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years. A proposed increase of $16 million
reflects funding of cyclical activities associated with labeling,
mailing, processing and analysis for the 2002 Census of Agriculture.
Miscellaneous funds received from local organizations, commodity groups, and others are available for dissemination
of reports and for survey work conducted under cooperative
agreements (7 U.S.C. 450b, 450h, 3318b).

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 2003, the Service proposes
increased emphases for critical research needs in agriculture,
such as: Counter-terrorism; Emerging, reemerging, and exotic
diseases of plants and animals; Agricultural genomes; Biotechnology risk assessment; Control of invasive species; Agricultural genetic resources; Enhancing air and water quality;
Biobased products/bioenergy from agricultural commodities;
Global climate change, and Agricultural information services.
The 2003 budget also proposes to eliminate funding for
unrequested Congressional earmarks added in 2001 and 2002,
as well as some less critical base programs. In 2001, the
Service submitted 64 new patent applications, participated
in 46 new Cooperative research and development agreements
(CRADAs), licensed 31 new products, and developed 63 new
plant varieties to release to industry for further development
and marketing.
Research on soil, water, and air sciences.—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, developing 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 im-

proved 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.
Collaborative Research Program.—Funds from the U.S.
Agency for International Development (AID), allow USDA to
provide short-term scientific exchanges to the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union (NIS), in developing a market-based agricultural system necessary to meet
the food needs of their populations and to develop and
strengthen trade linkages between their countries and related
agribusiness and agricultural enterprise in the U.S.
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.

Under the Integrated activities account, research, education
and/or extension grants are awarded for competitive and noncompetitive programs.
Water quality.—This funding will enable CSREES and the
State Agricultural Experiment Stations and the Cooperative
Extension system to become viable partners with other state
and federal agencies in addressing water quality issues of
national importance. Funds will be awarded based upon peer
review of competitive proposals for projects that have components for research and extension.
Food safety.—Funding will support research, education and
extension programs to improve safety of food products and
create a more informed public about food safety issues.
Regional pest management centers.—Funding will provide
management and coordination for USDA and State activities
that support informed regulatory decisions concerning pesticides that significantly benefit U.S. food production without
causing adverse effects on the environment.
Crops at risk from FQPA implementation.—Funding will
support the development of multi-tactic IPM strategies. Grant
opportunities will be available to colleges and universities.
FQPA Risk mitigation program for major food crop systems.—Funds are proposed to support a program to address
risk mitigation that will have a food production system focus,
integrating food safety and water quality considerations as
impacted by FQPA. Emphasis will be placed on development
and implementation of new innovative pest management systems designed to maintain crop productivity and profitability
while meeting or exceeding environmental quality and human
health standards.
Methyl bromide transition program.—This is a grant program designed to support the discovery and implementation
of practical pest management alternatives for commodities
affected by the methyl bromide phase-out in 2005.
Organic transition program.—This program supports the
development and implementation of biologically based pest
management practices that mitigate the ecological, agronomic,
and economic risks associated with the transition from conventional to organic agricultural production systems.
International science and education grants program.—This
program focuses on incorporating substantive international
activities into programs related to food systems, agriculture
and natural resources at U.S. land-grant colleges and universities.
Critical issues program.—Funds are proposed to develop
early intervention strategies to prevent, manage or eradicate
new and emerging diseases, both plant and animal, which
would prevent loss of revenue to growers or producers.
Regional rural development centers.—Funding will support
activities that pursue a holistic development strategy that
tailors programming to meet regional and local needs and
addresses areas of opportunity arising from a consumer-driven agricultural economy.

appropriation of $120 million for high priority research, extension, and education. These funds are available for two years.
The 2000 appropriations language blocked the use of 2000
funds in 2000. However, these funds were available in 2001.
The 2002 appropriations language blocked the use of 2001
and 2002 funds in 2002. The 2003 budget includes language
under General Provisions that would block implementation
of the program during 2003.

Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service participates in a nationwide system of agricultural research and education program planning and coordination between State institutions and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It assists in maintaining cooperation among the State
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
and broaden the curricula at the eighteen 1890 land-grant
colleges, including Tuskegee University.
Special research grants.—This program addresses research
areas of national interest. Funding is proposed for grant programs in IR–4 minor crop pest management, pest management alternatives, and sustainable agriculture. Funding is
also proposed for integrated pest management. Advances in
these areas will provide producers with safe, alternative pest
control methods resulting in more farmers increasing the
number of acres on which Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
methods are used. Funding proposed for IR–4 minor crop
pest management and minor use animal drugs will address
the growing need for registration of safe pesticides and drugs
for minor crops and animals and lead to reduced levels of
chemical and drug residues in food products by half. These
pest management programs will be coordinated to address
Food Quality and Protection Act issues. The IR–4 and IPM
programs are contained under improved pest control funding.
Improved pest control also includes Pest Management Alternatives, and Expert IPM Decision Support System Programs.
A grant program for global change is proposed for research
at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative.
Funding is also proposed for the National Biological Impact
Assessment Program, and aquaculture centers. The 2003
budget eliminates funding for unrequested earmarks.
National research initiative competitive grants.—Increased
funding is being proposed for the National Research Initiative
(NRI). Research scientists throughout the U.S. scientific community compete for funding under this program. The performance goal has been to attract the widest possible involvement
of U.S. scientists in agricultural research to increase the
knowledge base related to U.S. agriculture, food, and the environment and maintain world leadership in agricultural
science and engineering. NRI funding has resulted in in-

creased participation by universities which are not traditionally considered agricultural schools and of highly skilled researchers in projects addressing agricultural issues. The outcomes include the efficient communication of research results
to scientific, engineering, and community user groups. 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. The 2003 budget
proposes an increase of $120 million for the competitive peerreviewed grant programs of the NRI, for a total request of
$240 million.
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.
1994 Institutions Research.—Funding is proposed to continue the competitive research grants program to build the
research capacity at the thirty 1994 institutions by supporting
agricultural research activities that address tribal, national
and multistate priorities.
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
administration.
Higher education.—Funding is proposed for graduate fellowships grants, competitive challenge grants, Hispanic-serving
institutions education grants program, and a multicultural
scholars program. Funding is also proposed for Native American institutions, Alaska Native-serving and Native Hawaiianserving Institutions, and Secondary Agriculture Education
and 2-year Post-secondary programs. Proposed funding for
these higher education programs would support approximately 180 grants. These programs will enable universities
to broaden their curricula; increase faculty development; student research projects; and the number of new scholars recruited in the food and agricultural sciences. In addition, an
increased number of graduate students, including minority
graduate students, will be enrolled in the agricultural
sciences. Funding is also proposed for a capacity building
program at the 1890 institutions as part of the USDA initiative to strengthen these institutions through a broadening
of curricula, increased faculty development and student research projects. Proposed funding would support approximately 43 teaching and research grants. The 2003 budget
includes increases for Graduate fellowship grants and Institutional challenge 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 provides for an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions (30 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.

Note.—In 2003 funding for rural development centers is included in the account for integrated activities.

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 3(b) and (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 that are
intended to increase the number of community-based projects,
families, and individuals reached to disseminate research
findings as widely and quickly as possible. The use of electronic mail, satellite transmission of courses, and computerassisted instruction are encouraged to communicate ideas.

Extension resources are provided to the States by these
formula funds and competitively-awarded programs such as
sustainable agriculture. Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) funds and
payments to the 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University provide funds to support the Extension infrastructure.
Funds for designated programs, funded by Smith-Lever 3(d)
such as youth-at-risk and expanded food and nutrition education program (EFNEP), provide support for the Cooperative
Extension System to address identified priority issues.
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. The goal is to inform
and educate these extension agriculture professionals and volunteers who, in turn, educate the professional farmers and
end-users regarding these critical initiatives and concerns.
In 2003 funding has been requested for: the Expanded Food
and Nutrition Education Program, pest management, children, youth and families at risk, a youth farm safety education and certification pilot project, extension services on
Indian reservations, sustainable agriculture, and 1994 (Native
American) institutions.

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. The
1996 Farm Bill provides that beginning in 2003, all AQI
user fee collections will become available without the need
for annual appropriations, and the program will operate like
typical user fee programs, with spending determined by the
demand for AQI services. The 2003 budget provides increases
to enhance border inspections and international programs.
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.
The 2003 budget includes significant increases to improve
the monitoring of plants and animals for the rapid, detection
of diseases such as foot and mouth disease.
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. The 2003
budget proposes a significant increase to fund the ongoing
eradication costs of infestation; currently funded through
transfers from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), and
to reduce Federal assistance for wildlife services operations
since much of the program provides direct assistance to private landowners.
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
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.

Legislation will be proposed to establish user fees for
APHIS’ costs for animal welfare inspections, such as for animal research centers, humane societies, and kennels.
This is one of the proposals in the budget to charge fees
to users directly availing themselves of, or subject to, a government service, program, or activity, in order to cover the
government’s costs. Legislation will be proposed to authorize
the fees.

The primary objectives of the Food Safety and Inspection
Service are to ensure that meat, poultry, shell egg, and egg
products are wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled
and packaged, as required by the Federal Meat Inspection
Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act. Providing adequate resources for Federal
food safety agencies is a priority of the Administration, and
the 2003 budget proposes an $88 million increase for inspection of meat, poultry, shell egg and egg products, including

employee pension and annuitant health benefits. This increase will cover pay cost increases for Federal and State
inspection programs, and initiatives for: continued improvements toward a science-driven, risk-based food safety program, and strengthening information technology and education.
The meat, poultry, shell egg and egg products inspection
program of the Food Safety and Inspection Service provides
in-plant inspection of all domestic plants preparing meat,
poultry, shell eggs, or egg products for sale or distribution;
reviews foreign inspection systems and establishments that
prepare meat, poultry, or egg products for export to the
United States; and provides technical and financial assistance
to States which maintain meat and poultry inspection programs.
The budget proposes to modify the existing overtime fee
structure to more equitably distribute costs and to implement
a new licensing fee, from which the receipts would be available without appropriation, to cover the cost of food safetyrelated activities and research. Both proposals are expected
to be implemented in 2004.

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) establishes official United States standards for
grain, promotes the uniform application thereof by official
inspection personnel, provides for an official inspection system
for grain, and regulates the weighing and certification of the
weight of grain shipped in interstate or foreign commerce
as authorized by the U.S. Grain Standards Act (USGSA),
as amended, and the regulations thereof, and the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA).
Standardization activities include establishing and updating
U.S. grain standards, research, and developing and improving
methods to ensure the accurate and uniform application of
the standards.
The compliance activities ensure the accurate and uniform
application of the USGSA and applicable provisions of the
AMA. The compliance program functions include: (1) evaluating alleged violations and initiating preliminary investigations; (2) initiating the implementation of corrective actions;
(3) conducting management and technical reviews; (4) administering the designations and delegations of State and private
agencies to perform official functions and monitoring the performance of the agencies; (5) identifying and, where appropriate, waiving and monitoring conflicts of interest; (6) licensing personnel of delegated States and designated agencies;
(7) registering persons/firms engaged in the business of buying grain for sale in foreign commerce, and in the business
of handling, weighing, or transporting of grain for sale in
foreign commerce; (8) responding to audits of Grain Inspection
programs; and (9) reviewing and, when appropriate, approving official agencies’ fee schedules.

The Office of International Affairs briefs foreign buyers,
assesses foreign inspection and weighing techniques, and responds to foreign quality and quantity complaints.
An advisory committee consisting of members from the
grain industry exists to advise the Agency regarding efficient
and economical implementation of the USGSA.
The Grain Quality Improvement Act of 1986 was enacted
on November 10, 1986, to improve the quality of U.S. grain
by prohibiting the introduction and reintroduction of dockage
and foreign material to grain.
For 2003, authorizing legislation will be submitted to permit, subject to appropriations, the collection and use of fees
to cover the cost of standardization activities.
The goal of the Packers and Stockyards program is to ensure the integrity of the livestock, meat, and poultry markets
and the marketplace in order to protect producers against
unfair, deceptive, or discriminatory practices as well as those
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.

Legislation will be proposed to establish a fee for the standardization activities of the Grain Inspection, Packers and
Stockyards Administration, and a licensing fee to cover the
costs of administering meat packers and stockyards activities.
This is one of the proposals in the budget to charge fees
to users directly availing themselves of, or subject to, a government service, program, or activity, in order to cover the
government’s costs. Legislation will be proposed to authorize
the fees.

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 2005.
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 51 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.
In 2003, increases of $1 million have been provided for
international market news and for the Federal seed program.
The individual Marketing Services 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 on domestic and foreign markets.
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

Market protection and promotion.—This program consists
of: (1) the research and promotion programs which are designed to improve the competitive position and expand markets for cotton, eggs and egg products, honey, pork, beef,
dairy products, potatoes, watermelons, mushrooms, soybeans,
fluid milk, popcorn, blueberries, avocado, and peanut; (2) the
Federal Seed Act; and (3) the administration of the CapperVolstead Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act.
The pesticide recordkeeping program monitors compliance
of private certified applicators with Federal regulations requiring them to keep records of restricted pesticides used
in agricultural production.
The pesticide data program develops comprehensive, statistically defensible information on pesticide residues in food
to improve government dietary risk procedures.
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.
The national organic program certifies that organically produced food products meet national standards.

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. The November
1995 amendments to the Perishable Agricultural Commodities
Act: (1) increase the license fee and phase out fees for wholesale grocers and retailers by 1999; (2) provide permanent
authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license and
reparation complaint filing fees; and repeal the 25 percent
maximum funding reserve cap.
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.
The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 provided $30
million for replenishment of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act Fund.

OPERATING EXPENSES

For administrative and operating expenses, as authorized by the
Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (7 U.S.C.
6933), ø$74,752,000¿ $76,062,000: Provided, That not to exceed $700
shall be available for official reception and representation expenses,
as authorized by 7 U.S.C. 1506(i). (Agriculture, Rural Development,
Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, 2002; additional authorizing legislation required.)

Note.—The administration fund totals are comprised of 31 separate independent order accounts in 1998.

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. The Secretary has
reduced the number of milk marketing orders from 31 to
11, consistent with the 1996 Farm Bill authorities.
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
from net assets pro rata to contributing handlers or producers, as the case may be.

This appropriation finances the administrative and operating expenses of the Risk Management Agency (RMA), which
provides crop insurance to farmers.
The Federal government reimburses private insurance companies for certain administrative expenses incurred while delivering the crop insurance program.
Current law provides this through mandatory funding. The
2003 budget includes a proposal that would cap the underwriting gains at 12.5 percent of all the companies’ combined
retained premium for the year. This proposal would maintain
the incentives companies have to participate in the crop insurance program, but provide some constraints on windfall profits.

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC), a whollyowned government corporation, provides multi-peril and catastrophic crop insurance protection against losses from unavoidable natural events. The Federal Crop Insurance Reform
Act of 1994 (Reform Act) and the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act) brought many
changes to the program. With the reduced price support activities promulgated by the 1996 Act, the crop insurance program is an integral part of the broad-based safety net and
includes programs involving revenue insurance, and education
in the use of futures markets to manage risks.
Under the 1996 Act, farmers are no longer required to
obtain Catastrophic Crop insurance (CAT), as previously mandated by the Reform Act. Producers can instead agree in
writing to waive eligibility for emergency crop loss assistance
in connection with the crop. However, the 2000 Appropriation
Act required uninsured producers who elected to receive the
emergency crop loss payments provided by the Act to enroll
in crop insurance for the subsequent two crop years. For
producers who continue to obtain CAT, which compensates
the farmer for losses up to 50 percent of the individual’s
average yield at 55 percent of the expected market price,
premium is entirely subsidized. The cost to the producer for
this type of coverage is an annual administrative fee of $100
per crop per county. Commercial insurance companies deliver
the product to the producer in all states.
Additional coverage is available to producers who wish to
insure crops above the 50 percent coverage level/55 percent
price level. Policyholders can elect to be paid up to 100 percent of the market price established by FCIC for each unit
of production their actual yield is less than the individual
yield guarantee. Premium rates for additional coverage depend on the level of coverage of protection selected and vary
from crop to crop and county to county. Producers are assessed a fee of $30 per crop, per county, in addition to a
share of premium. The additional levels of insurance coverage
are more attractive to farmers due to availability of optional
units, other policy provisions not available with CAT coverage, and the ability to obtain a level of protection that
permits them to use crop insurance as loan collateral and
to achieve greater financial security.
As mandated by the 1996 Act, revenue insurance programs
are available under which producers of wheat, certain feed
grains, soybeans, rice, and cotton are protected against loss
of revenue stemming from low prices, poor yields, or a combination of both. Two of the revenue insurance plans were
privately developed and submitted to FCIC: Crop Revenue
Coverage (CRC) and Revenue Assurance (RA). The Income
Protection (IP) plan was developed by FCIC. These three
plans have many similar features and some very distinctive

Sfmt 3616

PsN: AGR

RISK MANAGEMENT AGENCY—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

features. All provide a guaranteed revenue by combining coverage on both yield and price variability. CRC and RA also
provide protection against price increases at the time of harvest from an initial price guarantee established near the time
of planting. Indemnities are due when any combination of
yield and price result in revenue that is less than the revenue
guarantee. Revenue protection for all products is provided
by extending traditional multi-peril crop insurance protection,
based on actual production history, to include price variability. The price component common to CRC, RA, and IP
uses the commodity futures market for price discovery. These
programs all seek to help ensure a certain level of annual
income and are offered through private insurance companies.
For 1999, a Group Risk Income Protection plan was developed
by the private sector to provide protection against decline
in county revenue, based on futures market prices and NASS
county average yields, as adjusted by FCIC. FCIC is also
piloting an Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) program, which
is designed to insure a portion of a producers gross revenue
based on their Schedule F Farm and Income Tax reports.
A legislative proposal amending the Federal Crop Insurance
Act is included in the 2003 Budget. It is designed to improve
the risk sharing arrangements between the government and
the private insurance companies.
The dollar volume of total reimbursements went from $495
million to $691 million (a 40 percent increase) between 1999
and 2001, reflecting the benefits of ARPA to the insurance
companies. While the companies should have an incentive
to participate in the crop insurance program, there should
be some constraints on windfall profits. With that in mind,
the Budget includes a proposal that would cap the underwriting gains at 12.5 percent of all the companies’ combined
retained premium for the year. This is expected to save $115
million in 2003.
RMA plans to roll out Round IV of the Dairy Options Pilot
Program (DOPP) during 2002, which includes reaching producers in a total of 300 counties in 40 states. RMA’s partners
in the program are registered commodities brokers who are
authorized by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
to buy put options on behalf of DOPP participants on the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
On June 20, 2000, based on the Agricultural Risk Protection
Act of 2000 (ARPA), the Risk Management Agency (RMA)
began improving basic products by implementing higher premium subsidies to make additional coverage more affordable
to producers, making adjustments in actual production history
guarantees to address multiple year disasters, and revising
administrative fees for CAT and additional coverage. On September 17, 2001, RMA published an interim rule in the Federal Register in accordance with ARPA, that allows RMA
to reimburse developers of private crop insurance products
for their research and development costs and maintenance
costs once the FCIC’s Board of Directors (Board) approves
the products. During 2001, RMA awarded over $18 million
in projects, as authorized by ARPA, to accomplish many of
the research and development mandates required by ARPA.
These projects were awarded to public and private entities,
including a pool of contractors in a base research and development contract that was initiated with a period of performance
through September 30, 2001. On November 15, 2001, the
Board approved two livestock pilot programs—Livestock gross
margin and Livestock risk protection—as allowed by ARPA.
The pilot livestock programs will cover swine in the State
of Iowa and will be made available beginning in 2002.
RMA continues to improve and update the terms and conditions of all crop insurance policies, which better clarifies and
defines the insurance protection provided by the insurance
policies and the duties and responsibilities of the policyholder
and insurance provided.

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) was established October
3, 1994, pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and
Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, P.L.
103–354. The Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act
of 1994 was amended on April 4, 1996, by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act), P.L.
104–127. The FSA administers a variety of activities, such
as farm income support programs through various loans and
payments; the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); the
Emergency Conservation Program; the Hazardous Waste
Management Program; the Commodity Operation Programs
including the warehouse examination function; farm ownership, farm operating, emergency disaster, and other loan programs; price support and production control programs for tobacco and peanuts; and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), which provides crop loss protection for
growers of many crops for which crop insurance is not available. The Agency also assists in the administration of several
conservation cost-share programs financed by the Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC), including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). In addition, FSA currently
provides certain administrative support services to the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and to the Risk Management
Agency (RMA).
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, and county offices.
USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), and Rural Development (RD)
offices act as separate franchises, with offices often located
adjacent to each other. Prior efforts to improve the efficiency
of USDA’s county-based offices have resulted in significant
co-location, and introduction of new information technology
to simplify customer transactions. However, the separate hierarchical structures at State, regional, and headquarter levels
are set in law, and this hinders further attempts to achieve
additional efficiencies.
This budget proposes changes that will allow the agencies
to operate together more efficiently within the current organizational constraints. Specifically, the Administration proposes
that the FSA and NRCS field offices seek the following improvements:
• Restructure the administrative support offices to improve
efficiency of service provision of information technology, personnel, travel, payroll, and procurement.
• Review the field office structure to determine the correct
level of offices necessary to provide services, with the goal
of consolidating at least 200 offices in 2003.
• Begin centralizing loan servicing functions that do not
need to be performed at the field level. These functions include mass mailings, general information collection and storage, collecting payments, and sending out statements.
• Evaluate pilot projects and then develop guidance to
strengthen NRCS’ goal setting process, emphasizing local involvement in setting national priorities.
• Implement outsourcing and cross-servicing.
Improvements undertaken that will improve efficiency and
increase the number of employees available to provide services directly to the U.S. citizen will be evaluated based on:
• Reducing the number of office visits and reporting burden
for clients of FSA and NRCS. A 10 percent reduction in reporting would reduce the number of hours spent filling out

forms by 1.7 million hours or 46 minutes per farm (currently
17 million hours spent, 7 hours and 44 minutes per farm).
• Increasing the provision of core customer services, including technical assistance visits and eligibility determinations,
while maintaining or reducing the number of personnel and/
or the cost associated with the provision of service.
Farm programs.—These programs provide an economic
safety net through farm income support to eligible producers,
cooperatives, and associations to help improve the economic
stability and viability of the agricultural sector and to ensure
the production of an adequate and reasonably priced supply
of food and fiber. Objectives of the Agency include maintaining a high Agricultural Market Transition Act (AMTA) participation rate for eligible acreage, providing marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments enabling recipients
to continue farming operations without marketing their product immediately after harvest, stabilizing the price and production of tobacco and peanuts, and providing a financial
assistance safety net to eligible producers when natural disasters result in a catastrophic loss of production or prevent
planting of noninsured crops, and timely designating eligible
Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) areas
and approving crop prices, average yields, and payment factors.
Farm program activities include the following functions
dealing with the administration of programs carried out
through the farmer committee system of the FSA: (a) developing program regulations and procedures; (b) collecting and
compiling basic data for individual farms; (c) establishing individual farm allotments for tobacco and peanuts and farm
planting history; (d) notifying producers of established allotments and farm planting histories; (e) determining farm marketing quotas for tobacco and peanuts; (f) conducting referendums and certifying results; (g) accepting farmer certifications
and checking compliance for specific purposes; (h) issuing
marketing cards so that production from the allotted acreage
can be marketed without penalty; (i) processing commodity
loan documents and issuing checks; (j) processing production
flexibility contract payments and issuing checks; (k) certifying
payment eligibility and monitoring payment limitations; and
(l) processing farm storage facility loans and issuing checks.
Conservation and environment.—These programs assist agricultural producers and landowners in achieving a high level
of stewardship of soil, water, air, and wildlife resources on
America’s farmland and ranches while protecting the human
and natural environment. Objectives of the Agency include
improving environmental quality, protecting natural resources, and enhancing habitat for fish and wildlife, including
threatened and endangered species, providing Emergency
Conservation Program funding for farmers and ranchers to
rehabilitate damaged farmland and for carrying out emergency conservation measures during periods of severe drought
or flooding, protecting the public health of communities
through implementation of the Hazardous Waste Management Program, assisting NRCS with EQIP program policy
and procedure development, and implementing administrative
processes and procedures for contracting, financial reporting,
and other financial operations. This activity includes: (a) processing producer requests for conservation cost-sharing and
issuing conservation reserve rental payments; and (b) issuing
checks for other conservation programs.
Commodity operations.—This activity includes: (a) overall
management of CCC-owned commodities; (b) purchasing commodities; (c) donating commodities; (d) selling commodities;
(e) accounting for loans and commodities; and (f) commercial
warehouse activities, which include improving the effectiveness and efficiency of FSA’s commodity acquisition, procurement, storage, and distribution activities to support domestic
and international food assistance programs and administering
the U.S. Warehouse Act (USWA). The Agency provides for

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.
Farm loans (reimbursable).—Provides for administering the
direct and guaranteed loan programs covered under the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund (ACIF). Objectives of the
Agency include improving the economic viability of farmers
and ranchers, reducing losses in direct loan programs, responding to loan making and servicing requests, and maximizing financial and technical assistance to under-served
groups. 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. Appropriations representing subsidy amounts necessary to support the
individual program loan levels under Federal Credit Reform
are made to the ACIF account.
Other reimbursable activities.—FSA collects a fee or is reimbursed for performing a variety of services for other Federal
agencies, CCC, industry, and others, including certain administrative support services for the Risk Management Agency
and the Foreign Agricultural Service, and for county office
services provided to Federal and non-Federal entities, including a variety of services to producers.

This grant program is authorized by Title V of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, P.L. 100–233, as amended. Originally designed to address agricultural credit disputes, the
program was expanded by the Federal Crop Insurance Reform
and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994
(P.L. 103–354) to include other agricultural issues such as
wetland determinations, conservation compliance, rural water
loan programs, grazing on National Forest System lands, and
pesticide use. Grants are made to States whose agricultural
mediation programs have been certified by the Farm Service
Agency. A grant will not exceed 70 percent of the total fiscal
year funds that a qualifying State requires to operate and
administer its agricultural mediation program. In no case
will the total amount of a grant exceed $500,000 annually.

Appropriations Act, P.L. 105–174, for obligation through September 30, 1998. The 1999 Appropriations Act, P.L. 105–
277, extended the use of unobligated 1998 TAP funds through
September 30, 1999, with any unobligated balance expiring.
TAP provided cost-share payments of up to 100 percent
to orchard and vineyard growers who replanted or rehabilitated orchard trees and vineyards lost to damaging weather,
including freezes, excessive rainfalls, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and earthquakes. Eligible owners could not receive more
than $25,000 per person.
This program was originated to provide emergency support.
There is no expectation that funding, in addition to other
USDA programs, will be necessary in 2003 to respond to
emergencies. Based on this, no funding is requested for this
program for 2003.

in carrying them out. The Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service provides information and educational assistance to inform landowners and operators about
the program. Local soil and water conservation districts approve conservation plans. To ensure maximum program benefits, USDA consults with land grant universities, State soil

Fish and Wildlife Services, and others.

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was originally
mandated by the Food Security Act of 1985. The Federal
Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (the 1996
Act), enacted April 4, 1996, retains the CRP as part of the
Environmental Conservation Acreage Reserve Program
(ECARP) but changed the funding source from direct appropriation to the Commodity Credit Corporation. Only very
minimal CCC funds were used for program operations in 1996
since annual rental payments had been made very early in
the fiscal year using CRP appropriated funds.
In 2001, annual rental payments, cost-share payments, and
technical assistance for acres enrolled in the program were
paid through the Commodity Credit Corporation. Just under
$2 million in unobligated appropriated funds were available
at the end of 2001; these funds are expected to be exhausted
in 2002 for technical assistance. In providing technical assistance, the Natural Resources Conservation Service determines
eligibility, develops conservation plans, and helps install approved practices. The Forest Service and cooperating State
forestry agencies develop plans for tree planting and assist

This program was terminated at the beginning of 1997 in
accordance with the Federal Agriculture Improvement and
Reform Act of 1996. The objectives of the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP) were incorporated into the Environmental Quality Incentives Program which is funded by the
Commodity Credit Corporation and administered under the
lead of the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The primary objectives of the program were to conserve
soil and water resources. Along with annual agreements, cost
sharing was authorized for long-term agreements of 3–10
years. At the end of 2001, there were $11 million in unliquidated obligations for ACP agreements.

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.
Title VIII of the 2001 Agriculture Appropriations Act, P.L.
106–387, provided $80 million for the Emergency Conservation Program. This funding is available until expended. Under
the 2001 program, cost-sharing and technical assistance were
provided in 40 States to treat farmlands damaged by floods,
hurricanes, drought, ice storms, tornadoes, and other natural
disasters.
The 2003 budget proposes $49 million for this program.

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,
and emergency loans to individuals. Indian tribes and tribal
corporations are eligible for Indian land acquisition loans.
Boll weevil eradication loans are available to eliminate the
cotton boll weevil pest from infested areas.
Additional funding was provided by a 2000 supplemental
appropriation, P.L. 106–113, for direct and guaranteed farm
ownership, direct and guaranteed operating, and emergency
disaster loans. Funding is available until expended.
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.
Under the Dairy indemnity program (DIP), payments are
made to farmers and manufacturers of dairy products who
are directed to remove their milk or milk products from commercial markets because they contain residues of chemicals
that have been registered and approved by the Federal Government, other chemicals, nuclear radiation, or nuclear fallout. Indemnification may also be paid for cows producing
such milk.
In 2001, $21.1 thousand was paid to producers who filed
claims under the program.
The 2003 budget requests $100 thousand for this program.

The 2001 Appropriations Act authorized the Secretary to
enroll 500,000 acres during 2001 and 2002 for a Farmable
Wetlands Pilot Program and required that the acreage enrolled not reduce the continuous-signup or CREP acreage.
A one-year contract extension for CRP participants with
contracts of original duration of less than 15 years that are
scheduled to expire September 20, 2002, is assumed.
Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for
net realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations:

Program

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 U.S. 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 2002 and 2003 budget
estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2002 and
2003 from the present level; (b) 2002 crop production will
increase from 2001 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2003 are expected to be higher than 2002 levels; (d) yields for the 2002
crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends; (e)
acreage allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect
for the 2002 crops of certain kinds of tobacco; and (f) poundage quotas will be in effect for the 2002 crop of peanuts.
It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the
year ending September 30, 2003, 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 Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of
1996 (the 1996 Act) enacted April 4, 1996, retains the CRP
as part of the Environmental Conservation Acreage Reserve
Program (ECARP) but changed the funding source from direct
appropriation to the Commodity Credit Corporation. The CRP
is assumed to be gradually increased from 33.6 million acres
at the end of 2001 to 36.4 million acres. CRP is USDA’s
largest conservation/environmental program. The purpose of
CRP, administered by FSA, is to cost-effectively assist farm
owners and operators in conserving and improving soil, water,
air, and wildlife resources by converting highly erodible and
other environmentally sensitive acreage normally devoted to
the production of agricultural commodities to a long-term resource-conserving cover. CRP participants enroll contracts for
periods from 10 to 15 years in exchange for annual rental
payments and cost-share and technical assistance for installing approved conservation practices.
CRP continuous signup acreage, which contributes to the
USDA Conservation Buffer Initiative and the Conservation
reserve enhancement program (CREP), is estimated to enroll
4 million acres. During 2001, about 435,000 acres were signed
up for continuous practices in signup 23. Technical assistance
for these signups was paid with funds for 2001 provided in
the 2001 Agriculture Appropriations Act.

PROGRAMS OF THE CORPORATION

Price support, marketing assistance loans, 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 (the 1949 Act), as amended, and
the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996
(the 1996 Act).
Price support is mandatory for tobacco, peanuts, and dairy
products. Marketing assistance loans are mandatory for
wheat, feed grains, oilseeds, upland cotton, and rice. Loans
are also required to be made for sugar and extra long staple
cotton.
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 may be 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.
Production flexibility contract payments.—The 1996 Act requires that the Corporation offer eligible producers a onetime opportunity to execute 7-year production flexibility contracts. Production flexibility contract participants who comply
with applicable provisions receive annual payments beginning
in 1996 and ending in 2002. However, the budget assumes
continued support at the 2002 level. Participants received
a 50-percent advance payment for the 1996 crop within 30

Sfmt 3616

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

days after contract approval. The balance of the 1996 payment was issued by September 30, 1996. In subsequent years,
participants receive final payments by September 30, with
an option to receive advances on December 15 or January
15. For 2001 through 2002, producers may choose to receive
fiscal year production flexibility contract payments as two
50 percent payments or one 100 percent payment at any
time during the fiscal year. Depending on each contract participant’s prior contract-crop acreage history and payment
yield, as well as total program participation, the participant
shares a portion of a statutorily specified, annual dollar
amount. In return, participants must comply with certain
requirements regarding land conservation, wetland protection,
and agricultural use. Contract crops, for the purposes of determining eligible cropland and payments, include wheat, corn,
grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, and rice. No production adjustment requirements or related provisions are
included in this program, except for restrictions on the planting of fruits and vegetables and other minor requirements.
The one-time enrollment took place between May 1 and August 1, 1996; however, producers with Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP) contracts will have the opportunity to enroll
acreage currently in the CRP that meets the eligibility requirements for a production flexibility contract. These enrollments will occur as CRP contracts expire.
Marketing assessments.—The 1949 Act mandates assessments for tobacco, and the 1996 Act requires such assessments for peanuts and sugar. Tobacco marketing assessments
are authorized through crop year 1998.
Peanut price support program.—The 1996 Act and the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended (the 1938 Act),
provide for a peanut loan and poundage quota program for
the 1996 through 2002 peanut crops. Current budget estimates assume continued funding in 2003. The 1996 Act
makes the peanut program, effectively, a no-cost program.
The Secretary is required to provide a nonrefundable perpound marketing assessment equal to 1.15 percent of the
national average quota or additional peanut loan rate for
the applicable 1996 crop and 1.2 percent of the national average quota or additional peanut loan rate for each of the applicable 1997 through 2002 crops. Assessments will be used
to offset losses in area quota pools, and any assessments
not required to cover these losses will be remitted to the
Treasury. If the use of all other available authority does not
produce funds sufficient to cover losses in area quota pools,
the Secretary must increase the marketing assessment by
an amount that will cover the losses.
Tobacco program.—The 2002 Appropriations Act provides
payments to eligible persons for eligible tobacco under the
same standards for payments as provided by the Agricultural
Risk Protection Act of 2000 (ARPA).
Sugar program.—The 1996 Act requires that loans be made
available to eligible sugar processors for the 1996 through
2002 crops of domestically produced sugar beets and sugarcane. The announced Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) determines
the type of loan in effect. If the TRQ is not above 1,500,000
short tons, raw value, at the time of loan approval and has
never been above 1,500,000 short tons, raw value, at any
time during the fiscal year, recourse loans will be in effect.
If the TRQ exceeds 1,500,000 short tons, raw value, at the
time of loan approval or has exceeded 1,500,000 short tons,
raw value, at any time during the fiscal year, nonrecourse
loans will be in effect. The 2002 Appropriations Act provides
assistance to Minnesota sugar producers for losses incurred
beyond those that may be compensated under existing programs.
Options pilot program.—The 1996 Act authorizes the Secretary to utilize CCC, until December 31, 2002, to conduct
a pilot program for one or more agricultural commodities
supported under Title I of the 1996 Act to ascertain whether

113

futures and options contracts can reasonably protect producers from the financial risks of fluctuations in price, yield,
and income inherent in the production and marketing of the
commodities. The pilot program is under the supervision of
the Administrator of the Risk Management Agency.
Noninsured assistance program.—The Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994 expanded 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. Where crop insurance is not available,
producers of crops for food and fiber and certain other crops
will be covered under the Noninsured Assistance Program
(NAP), administered by the Farm Service Agency. As enacted,
the program has been reimbursing producers at the same
rates and terms as the catastrophic program where assistance
is triggered by area wide disasters. The ARPA eliminated
the area loss requirement for triggering assistance and made
other changes including a provision that all types or varieties
of a crop may be considered a single eligible crop for NAP
assistance. The ARPA also authorizes the collection of service
fees. NAP ARPA payments will continue in 2002.
Dairy.—The 1996 Act provides for a dairy price support
program that sets the minimum support price for milk at
$10.35 per hundredweight for calendar year 1996, $10.20 per
hundredweight for calendar year 1997, $10.05 per hundredweight for calendar year 1999, and $9.90 per hundredweight
for calendar year 1999. The 2002 Appropriations Act extended
the price support program through May 31, 2002, at the $9.90
per hundred-weight support level, which is the same level
as the 2000 and 2001 Appropriations Acts. In lieu of the
price support program, Section 142 of the 1996 Act establishes
a recourse loan program beginning on January 1, 2000, and
continuing through 2002, during which time processors will
be eligible for recourse loans on dairy products at a milk
equivalent rate of $9.90 per hundredweight. However, the
2002 Appropriations Act permanently repealed Section 142
of the 1996 Act. The Food Security Act of 1985, as amended
(the 1985 Act), authorizes the Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP) through calendar year 2002. The DEIP provides
subsidies to exporters of U.S. dairy products to help them
compete with other subsidizing nations.
Emergency livestock feed assistance.—The 2001 Appropriations Act provided $490 million to make and administer payments for livestock losses using the criteria established to
carry out the 1999 LAP to producers for 2000 losses in a
county which received an emergency designation after January 1, 2000. Of this amount, $40 million was designated for
the Pasture Recovery Program, $12 million was used for the
American Indian Livestock Feed Program, and $438 million
was used for LAP and other assistance mandated by the
2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 106–554.
Payment limitations.—The 1996 Act and the Food Security
Act of 1985, as amended, limit the amount of production
flexibility contract payments during any fiscal year to $40,000
and the sum of marketing assistance gains and loan deficiency payments during any crop year to $75,000. This limitation has been raised to $150,000 for the 1999 and 2000 crops.
Livestock indemnity program.—The 2001 Appropriations
Act provided $10 million to make LIP payments to producers
on farms that have incurred livestock losses during calendar
year 2000 due to a disaster, including losses due to fires
and anthrax. This funding level was reduced by the 0.22
percent rescission in P.L. 106–554.
Dairy market loss assistance II program.—Provisions of this
program were implemented on January 19, 2000. U.S. dairy
producers were experiencing a decline in the basic formula
price, which is used by the Federal milk marketing order
system to set manufacturing, and is the price mover for fluid
milk. Under the 2001 Appropriations Act, $675 million was
authorized for payment to dairy producers.

Emergency and market loss assistance.—Under provisions
of Title XI, Subtitle A, this assistance is provided fairly and
equitably to producers who have incurred crop and livestock
losses in all affected geographic regions of the United States.
The Secretary may determine (1) one or more loss thresholds
producers on a farm must incur, with respect to a crop, to
be eligible for assistance, (2) the payment rate for crop and
livestock feed losses incurred, and (3) eligibility and payment
limitation criteria. This is in addition to AMTA and NAP
(crop insurance indemnities provided for the 1998 crops under
the Federal Crop Insurance Act, and emergency loans available for 1998 crops under subtitle C of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act).
Crop loss assistance.— The 2001 Appropriations Act authorized such sums as are necessary, which amounted to $1.8
billion for CY 2001 losses. There are no crop loss provisions
in the 2002 Appropriations Act.
The Agricultural Economic Assistance Act of 2001, P.L.

Bioenergy program.—During 2002, CCC will provide incentive payments, to ethanol, biodiesel, and other bioenergy producers to expand production of bio-based fuels. A $150 million
program level is estimated for 2002. This program is authorized by the CCC Charter Act. No program is proposed and
no funds are available for any program beyond 2002.
Agricultural management assistance program.—The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized CCC funding
of $10 million for 2001 and subsequent years to provide
grants to qualified public and private entities for the purpose
of educating agricultural producers about the full range of
risk management activities, including futures, options, agricultural trade options, crop insurance, cash forward contracting, debt reduction, production diversification, farm resources risk reduction, and other risk management strategies.
The Secretary delegated authority to Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency, and the Agricultural Marketing Service.
Conservation programs.—The Environmental Conservation
Acreage Reserve Program (ECARP) was re-established by the
1996 Act to begin in 1996 and continue through 2002. ECARP
consists of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The 1996 Act amended the
1985 Act to require the use of CCC funds for these programs.
The CRP is authorized in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands, on all highly erodible cropland, other environmentally sensitive cropland, and certain marginal
pastureland meeting the eligibility criteria. 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
cropland contributing to water quality problems, and other
lands posing environmental threats. Also eligible for the CRP
are water quality or wildlife habitat 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.

The establishment and funding for Conservation Priority
Areas (CPA) under both EQIP and CRP will be harmonized
in a manner to ensure program availability is coordinated
to best address environmental concerns, keeping in mind the
varied and diverse purposes for which the CRP and EQIP
are authorized.
The EQIP combines the functions of the former Agricultural
Conservation Program (ACP), the Water Quality Incentives
Program (WQIP), the Great Plains Conservation Program
(GPCP), and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program (CRSC). The 1996 Act provided that EQIP would be
phased in over a 6-month interim period, ending not later
than October 4, 1996. CCC funding of $130 million was provided for the interim 1996 program. Thereafter, through fiscal
year 2002, $200 million in CCC funding must be made available annually for the program. The 1999, 2000 and 2001
program levels have been limited to $174 million by the appropriations acts. The 2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act,
P.L. 106–554, then provided $26 million in contingent emergency funds, with $57 thousand rescinded, making $199.9
million the total amount available in 2001. In 2002, $200
million is available for EQIP; $13 million of this amount
is available for transfer to CRP.
The Farmland Protection Program (FPP) assists State,
local, and tribal governments and nonprofit organizations in
purchasing conservation easements. The Agricultural Risk
Protection Act of 2000 provided for payments using CCC
funds totaling $10 million for 2001. The 2002 Appropriations
Act authorized purchase of conservation easements in three
Kentucky counties.
The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) makes
available assistance to help landowners improve wildlife habitat on private lands. A total of $50 million in CRP funds
were made available for fiscal years 1996 through 2002 for
this program. These funds were exhausted in 1999.
Section 211(b) of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of
2000 provides an additional $40 million for soil and water
conservation assistance to provide financial assistance to
farmers and ranchers to address a wide range of threats
to soil, water and related natural resources. The 2001 Consolidated Appropriations Act gave the Secretary the authority
to reallocate these funds to WHIP or FPP; $8 million in
additional funds was provided for FPP, bringing its total 2001
funding level to $18 million, and $12 million was allocated
to WHIP.
The Conservation Farm Option Program (CFO) is a pilot
program for producers of wheat, feed grains, upland cotton,
and rice who are eligible for production flexibility contracts.
Under this program, producers may consolidate their production flexibility contract, CRP, WRP, and EQIP payments into
one annual payment if they enter into a 10-year contract
and adopt an approved conservation farm plan. Total authorized funding is $197.5 million. However, no obligations were
incurred in 1997–2002. In 1999–2002, appropriations acts precluded operations of the CFO.
The primary objectives of the Wetlands Reserve Program
(WRP) are to restore and protect wetlands, improve wildlife
habitat, and protect mirgratory waterfowl. This program offers landowners an opportunity to establish long-term conservation and wildlife practices and protection beyond that
which can be obtained through other USDA programs. The
Secretary of Agriculture, through NRCS field offices, uses program funds to acquire permanent or 30-year easements or
to enter into 10-year restoration cost-share agreements. For
easements, participants receive compensation in an amount
not to exceed the agricultural fair market value of the land
being offered. In addition, they receive cost-share assistance
in amounts up to 75 percent for 30-year easements and 100
percent for permanent easements for establishing required
wetlands restoration and wildlife practices. CCC pays for all

Sfmt 3616

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

the overhead costs associated with recording the easement
in the local land records office including recording fees,
charges for abstracts, surveys, appraisal fees, and title insurance associated with acquiring an easement. For restoration
cost-share agreements, participants receive up to 75 percent
of the cost of establishing required practices. Other agencies
and private organizations may provide additional assistance
for easement payments and restoration costs as a way to
leverage program funds and achieve greater program benefits.
The 2001 Appropriations Act raised the enrollment cap by
100,000 acres to 1,075,000 acres; this enrollment cap was
reached in 2001. In 2002, no additional acres will enroll,
and only the monitoring of enrolled acres is authorized.
ARPA authorized $20 million for the Soil and Water Conservation Program. Financial assistance is available to farmers and ranchers to address threats to natural resources, comply with Federal and State environmental laws, and make
beneficial, cost-effective changes to conserve and improve natural resources.
The 2001 Supplemental Appropriations Act, P.L. 107–20,
authorized the Klamath Basin Water Conservation Program
and made available $20 million in financial assistance to eligible producers to promote water conservation in the Klamath
Basin, Oregon.
The 2001 Supplemental Appropriations Act, P.L. 107–20,
authorized the Yakima Basin Water Conservation Program
and made available $2 million in financial assistance to eligible producers to promote water conservation in the Yakima
Basin, Washington.
Surplus removal and other CCC activities.—Section 5 of
the CCC Charter Act authorizes CCC to undertake specific
actions with respect to agricultural commodities. Section 5(d)
specifically authorizes CCC to remove and dispose of or aid
in the removal or disposition of surplus agricultural commodities. USDA will not purchase commodities for donation purposes in 2003. No such donation program is proposed for
2003. Instead discretionary funding has been added to the
P.L. 480 Title II Appropriation to provide for donation needs.
In the 2003 budget, CCC-owned commodities will be available
for the regular Section 416(b) program when inventory stocks
are available.
The Flood Compensation Program was authorized in the
Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000. $24 million of CCC
will be used to compensate producers for the loss of cropland
or pastureland due to long-term flooding. This program provides assistance for producers who are experiencing losses
due to flooding but were not compensated by the Flood Compensation Program authorized by the 1998 Omnibus Appropriation.
The 2001 Supplemental Appropriations Act, P.L. 107–20,
authorized $23 million for the Global Food for Education Initiative. Under this program, USDA donates surplus commodities for use in school feeding and pre-school nutrition projects
in developing countries. Financial assistance for internal
transportation, storage and handling and administrative expenses, as determined by the Secretary, is available.
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.
No purchase program is proposed for international food donations for 2003.
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 commod-

ities 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.—The Corporation may furnish commodities under the authority of section 416(b) of the Agricultural
Act of 1949 to carry out programs of assistance in developing
countries and friendly countries and pay costs associated with
making the commodities available. The Corporation may also
use its funds to furnish commodities overseas under the authority of the Food for Progress Act of 1985; however, not
more than 500,000 metric tons of commodities may be provided under this authority in each fiscal year, and not more
than $30 million of the funds of the Corporation (exclusive
of the costs of commodities) may be used for each fiscal year.
In addition, under the Food for Progress Act of 1985, not
to exceed $10 million of the Corporation’s 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. The Budget
assumes that CCC will purchase commodities for use in the
Food for Progress program only through 2002 at a level that
can be supported within the annual $30 million limitation
on Food for Progress ocean transportation and other noncommodity expenses.

Operating expenses.—The Corporation carries out its functions through utilization of employees and facilities of other
Government agencies. Administrative expenses are incurred
by: the Farm Service Agency (FSA); the Foreign Agricultural
Service; the Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Risk
Management Agency; other agencies of the Department engaged in the Corporation’s activities; and the Office of the
Inspector General for audit functions. 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.’’
Section 161 of the 1996 Act amended the CCC Charter
Act to significantly limit the use of CCC funds. CCC no longer
has authority to purchase personal property except within
authorized limitations. CCC spending for equipment or services relating to automated data processing (ADP), information
technologies, or related items (including telecommunications
equipment and computer hardware and software, but excluding reimbursable agreements) was limited to $170 million
in 1996, and $275 million for the six-year period including
1997 through 2002, unless additional amounts for such contracts and agreements are provided in advance in appropriation acts. The 1996 Act also requires that CCC submit an
itemized report to Congress on a quarterly basis of all expenditures, excluding program payments, of over $10,000. Subsequent legislation reduced allowable ADP expenditures

VerDate 11-MAY-2000

through 2002 to $188 million. At the end of 2000, CCC had
$2 million to carry forward to 2001. The remaining funds
were nearly exhausted in 2001.
Section 161 of the 1996 Act also amended section 11 of
the CCC Charter Act to limit the use of CCC funds for the
transfer and allotment of funds to State and Federal agencies.
Beginning on October 1, 1996, the total of these allotments
and transfers under that section in a fiscal year, including
agreements for ADP or information resource management activities, may not exceed the total of such alloments and transfers in fiscal year 1995. The obligations for these Section
11 activities in 1995 were $46 million. The 1995 cap was
revised to $36.209 million effective 1999 to exclude the
Emerging Markets Program because such transfers are not
made pursuant to Section 11 of the CCC Charter Act. In
2001, the Section 11 cap was increased to $56 million to
include FSA loan service fees.
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.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES

These activities are carried out under authority of section
5(g) of the Corporation’s charter act and specific statutory
authorizations or directives with respect thereto that are currently in effect or which may subsequently be enacted.

FINANCING

Borrowing authority.—The Corporation has an authorized
capital stock of $100 million held by the U.S. Treasury 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 Department of Agriculture and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1966, made provision for terminating interest
after June 30, 1964 on the portion of the Corporation’s borrowings from the Treasury equal to the unreimbursed realized
losses recorded on the books of the Corporation after the
end of the fiscal year in which such losses are realized.

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 foreign assistance programs.
Deficit.—The net realized losses of the Corporation have
previously been reimbursed as follows:

Commodity Certificates. Subtitle B of the 2000 Act allows
for the use of commodity certificates. In making in-kind payments, CCC may (a) ‘‘acquire and use commodities that have
been pledged to the Commodity Credit Corporation as collateral for loans made by the Corporation;’’ (b) ‘‘use other commodities owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation;’’ and
(c) ‘‘redeem negotiable marketing certificates for cash under
terms and conditions established. Implementation regarding
implementation of commodity certificates is under consideration.’’ CCC announced on February 8, 2000, that commodity
certificates will be issued in an effort to discourage producers
from forfeiting commodities pledged as collateral for CCC
commodity loans. Certificates are used to repay 1998–2002
crop marketing assistance loans when the adjusted world
price (for rice and upland cotton) or the posted county price
(for wheat, feed grains, soybeans, and designated minor oilseeds) is lower than the applicable loan rate.
Farm Storage Facility Loan Program (FSFL). The FSFL
program was established by CCC in 1949 to offer low-cost
financing to producers for the construction or upgrade of onfarm storage facilities. USDA resumed the program in 2000
due to a current shortage of sufficient storage space. The
estimated direct loan level is $125 million for FY’s 2002 and
2003, and $100 million for FY’s 2004 through 2007. The cost
to the U.S. government (subsidy) for the FSFL program is
estimated using procedures stipulated by the Federal Credit
Reform Act of 1990.

Program
(FMDCP) and Quality Samples Program. In 2000, funding
for the FMDCP shifted from the Foreign Agricultural Service
annual appropriation to CCC funding. The FMDCP encourages export promotion and overseas market development activities of U.S. agricultural products. The 2001 program level
of $27.5 million remains constant in 2002. Also in 2001, CCC
funded the Quality Samples Program at an authorized annual
level of $2.5 million, and the program continues to be funded
at the $2.5 million level in 2002. Under this program, samples
of U.S. agricultural products are provided to foreign importers
to promote a better understanding and appreciation for the
high quality of U.S. products.

The Budget includes $73.5 billion in budget authority over
a ten year period for a farm bill that will provide a solid
safety net for farmers and ranchers, expand markets abroad
for American agricultural products, increase conservation of
natural resources and improve domestic food assistance. This
funding will provide additional farm support payments, increased funding for conservation programs, improve the food
stamp program, enable the establishment of Federal farm
and ranch risk management accounts, as well as increasing
support for other USDA programs, including research and
rural development.

antees export financing for capital goods and services to improve handling, marketing, processing, storage, or distribution
of imported agricultural commodities and products.
The subsidy estimates for the GSM–102 and GSM–103 programs are determined in large part by the obligor’s sovereign
or non-sovereign country risk grade. These grades are developed annually by the International Credit Risk Assessment
System Committee (ICRAS). In unusual circumstances, an
ICRAS grade for a country may change during the fiscal
year. The default estimates for GSM guarantees are determined in large part by the risk premia assigned for each
risk grade.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the credit guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of credit 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. The 2003
budget displays the GSM loan guarantee volume and the
subsidy level that can be justified by forecast economic conditions, the expected supply/demand conditions of countries requesting GSM loan guarantees.

This is the program account for the GSM–102 and GSM–
103 CCC Export Credit Guarantee Programs. The Export
Credit Guarantee Program (GSM–102) covers credit terms
of up to 3 years. The Intermediate Export Credit Guarantee
Program (GSM–103) covers longer credit terms of between
3 and 10 years. Under these programs, CCC does not provide
financing, but guarantees payments due from foreign banks
and buyers. Because payment is guaranteed, financial institutions in the United States can offer competitive credit terms
to foreign banks, usually with interest rates based on the
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). If the foreign bank
fails to make any payment as agreed, the exporter or assignee
must submit a notice of default to the CCC. A claim for
loss must be filed, and the CCC will promptly pay claims
found to be in good order. CCC usually guarantees 98 percent
of the principal payment due and interest based on a percentage of the one-year Treasury rate.
A portion of the guarantees made available under the
GSM–102 program is provided as Supplier Credit Guarantees.
Under this activity, CCC guarantees a portion of payment
due from importers under short-term financing (for up to
180 days) that exporters have extended directly to the importers for the purchase of U.S. agricultural commodities and
products. CCC does not provide financing, but guarantees
payment due from an importer. A substantially smaller portion of the value of exports (currently 60 percent) is guaranteed under Supplier Credit Guarantees than under regular
GSM–102 guarantees where CCC is guaranteeing foreign
bank obligations.
A portion of the GSM–102 guarantees is also made available as Facilities Guarantees. Under this activity, CCC guar-

Farm storage facility loan program. The Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSLA) program was established by CCC in 1949.
The program was authorized in 1948 by the CCC Charter
Act. CCC stopped making new loans under the FSLA program
in 1982 based on studies that revealed that producers had
sufficient storage for their crops at that time. Recent studies
reflected that grain elevators currently have insufficient capacity to allow farmers to store their grain off the farm at
harvest when prices are usually at their lowest. Due to this
severe shortage of available storage, low-cost financing for
producers to build or upgrade on-farm commodity storage and
handling facilities is provided through the FSLA program.
The program was implemented in 2000 by CCC under Section
504(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. This program
provides producers financing with five to ten-year repayment
terms and low interest rates. The program gives producers
greater marketing flexibility when farm storage is limited
and/or transportation difficulties cause storage problems, allows farmers to benefit from new marketing and technological
advances, and maximizes their returns through identity-preserved marketing.
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 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.

The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized
up to $5 million for the cost to provide loans to producers
of apples for economic losses as the result of low prices for
apples. Although the program is funded through CCC, program management is performed through farm loan programs.
No funding is provided for this program in 2002, and none
is requested for 2003.
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 in 1992 and beyond

The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized
CCC funding to make an interest-free loan to the Texas Boll
Weevil Eradication Foundation, Inc., to enable the Foundation
to retire certain debt associated with boll weevil eradication
zones which have ended their participation, in whole or in
part, in the federally funded boll weevil eradication program.
Although the program is funded through CCC, program management is performed through Farm Loan Programs. No funding is provided for this program in 2002, and none is requested for 2003.
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 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.

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.
Technical assistance targeted towards nutrient management and water quality concerns associated with animal feeding will increase by $48 million above the 2002 level to $128
million. These funds will help livestock producers develop
comprehensive nutrient management plans.
NRCS has initiated a performance goal pilot program that
will be completed by April 2002. NRCS will use this analysis
in establishing goals, strategies and managerial structures
for targeting resources to have the greater impact. NRCS
will emphasize State plans for targeting assistance in watersheds as part of the process. Funds are requested to pay
the costs of personnel transferred from watershed and flood
prevention operations and watershed surveys and planning.

Inventory and monitoring, resource appraisal, and program
development activities are also funded through this account.
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
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 on
the soil resources of the Nation’s private lands. NRCS provides this information as electronic and printed publications
for use by the American public and other Federal, State and
local agencies in making land-use decisions. NRCS uses the
information for program development, resource conservation
planning, and installation of planned practices. NRCS provides national leadership for the National Cooperative Soil
Survey and digitizing of soil surveys in cooperation with
States, and other users of soil survey data. Legislation requires that the Secretary shall make a reasonable effort to
assure that ‘‘a substantial portion of the survey costs for
NRCS are to be reimbursed by survey recipients.’’

Under the authorities of Public Law 83–566, watershed
planning assistance is provided to States and communities
to address specific resource problems on a watershed scale.
The funds are used to cooperate with other agencies and
the States in providing local decision makers with resource
data, derived from cooperative river basin surveys and floodplain management studies, for use in decision making. Watershed plans are used to develop the small watershed projects.
The small watershed program has been eliminated in this
year’s budget, reflecting the low economic returns and slight
environment benefits of the program. Accordingly, the watershed surveys and planning program, which creates new small
watershed program projects has also been eliminated.
No funding is requested for this program in 2003. The
staff years funded by this program will be funded in the
conservation operations account.

These programs provide for cooperative actions 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. Funds in Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations
can be used for either flood prevention projects or flood damage rehabilitation efforts, depending upon the needs and opportunities.
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 causes 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. The budget provides $110 million for the
program in 2003, an amount equal to the 10-year average
on spending.
To improve the delivery and defensibility of the program,
NRCS published a draft programmatic environmental impact
statement (EIS) for public review and comment to assess various program alternatives. Through the EIS public feedback
and information gathering process, NRCS ultimately will be
able to make the program more beneficial to communities
and the environment. NRCS will also consider these EIS comments in making any necessary revisions to its regulations.
Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 534.—The
Department cooperates with soil conservation districts and
other local organizations in planning and installing flood prevention improvements in 11 watersheds authorized by the
Flood Control Act of 1944. The Federal Government shares
the cost of improvements for flood prevention, agricultural
water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife development.

Given the program’s low economic returns and environmental benefits, no funding is proposed for 2003.
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.
No funding is requested for this program in 2003. The
staff years funded by this program will be funded in the
Conservation operations account. Low economic and environmental benefits mean other programs can provide greater
assistance to landowners and their communities at lower cost,
with more impact. For flood prevention, FEMA programs and
Corps of Engineer programs provide higher returns from each
dollar spent on flood damage reduction. While the USDA Watershed program program generated $1.40 per dollar spent,
the Corps provides $1.90 and FEMA $2.30 in economic benefits for every dollar invested. Other USDA programs, such
as the Environmental quality incentives program provide assistance to landowners to pursue water quality and other
environmental benefits, at far lower cost and with better targeting for priorities. Other USDA programs provide loans and
grants to rural communities to pursue economic development
goals. Again, these funds are made preferentially available
to communities in need. Less-well-off communities would
quality for the USDA Rural development program’s subsidized
loans and grants and be in a position to pursue Watershed
and flood prevention projects.
Loans through the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund have
been made in previous years to the local sponsors in order
to fund the local cost of Public Law 566 or 534 projects.
No funding for these loans is assumed in 2003.

Under the authorities of Public Law 106–472 assistance
is provided to communities to address concerns about local
aging dams. NRCS may provide technical and financial assistance for the planning, design, and implementation of rehabilitation projects that may include upgrading or removing the
dams.
This program is not funded in 2003. The management and
upkeep of local, privately-owned dams is not a federal responsibility. In addition, many of the dams were built relying
on different economic and environmental standards than
dams built today. It is not clear that all of these dams should
be maintained.

The 1996 Farm Bill combined the authority for this and
several other conservation programs into the Environmental
Quality Incentives Program. Prior-year account balances are
maintained in this account until expended.
This program provides cost-share assistance to participating
landowners or operators in the Great Plains area in the development and installation of long-term conservation plans and
practices for their land under contracts entered into in prior
years. It is a voluntary program in 556 designated counties
of 10 Great Plains States. Contracts with individual landowners range in time from 3 to 10 years.

As of October 1, 2001, there were 930 active contracts on
hand. Co-landowners or operators finance the entire cost of
installing recurring management-type practices and pay a
specified part of the cost-shared practices installed on their
land. Program regulations provide that cost-share rates offered in any contract shall not exceed 80 percent of the cost
of installing eligible practices within the designated county.
There is a cost-sharing limitation of $35 thousand for any
contract.

No funds are proposed for the Forestry incentives program
(FIP). Previous acceptable appropriations for the program
have been emergency appropriations to assist regions affected
by natural disaster. As a non-emergency program, the FIP
is merely a subsidy paying the costs of tree planting. There
is no basis for a federal program to pay for tree planting
on a non-emergency basis.
The FIP 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
improved management, to increase timber production, to ensure adequate supplies of timber products, and to enhance
other forest resources.
FIP shares up to 65 percent of the cost of tree planting
and timber stand improvement. The percentage cost-shared
depends on the rate set in a particular State and county
by 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.
Funding for the expiring 1985 Water Bank agreements were
transferred from the Wetlands Reserve Program 1995 appropriation to this account as authorized under the Water Bank
Extension Act of 1994. Congress did not provide funding for
this account in 2002. For 2003, the budget does not request
program funding.
Under the Water Bank Program, 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.

The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program
(CRBSC), was authorized under section 202(c) of Title II of
the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act, as amended
by section 334, subtitle D, Title III of the Federal Agriculture
Improvement Act of 1996. The FAIR Act, combined authority
of the Agricultural Conservation Program (ACP), Water Quality Incentive Program (WQIP), Great Plains Conservation
Program (GPCP), and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program (CRBSC), into the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP). The FAIR Act also repealed CRBSC
authority, while maintaining program account balances until
expended.
Beginning in 1996, EQIP was implemented on an interim
program level for CRBSC. Program funding provided costshare assistance to landowners and others in the Colorado
River Basin States to include: Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
The program’s main objective is to enhance the supply and
quality of water in the Colorado River for delivery to downstream users in the U.S. and Mexico.

The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is authorized by
Section 1237 of the Food Security Act of 1985 (P.L. 99–198),
as amended by the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade
Act of 1990 (P.L. 101–624), the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (P.L. 103–66), the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (P.L. 104–127) and the
Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 2001 (P.L. 106–
387). WRP is a mandatory Commodity Credit Corporation
(CCC) program administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). However, the Farm Service Agency
(FSA), with CCC financial responsibility, handles program
payments and financial reporting.
Information displayed in this section represents unobligated
balances from the non-CCC account in which WRP was funded prior to the 1996 Farm Bill. For additional information

The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is a voluntary program to support and encourage landowners through
technical assistance and cost share payments to develop and
improve fish and wildlife habitat on private lands. The 1996
Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act made available a total of $50 million for WHIP from the Conservation
reserve program for the years 1996–2002. These funds were
exhausted in 1999. The Agriculture, Rural Development, Food
and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 2001 (P.L. 106–387) provided the Secretary of Agriculture discretionary authority to use funding provided under
the Agriculture Risk Protection Act of 2000 for WHIP; the
Secretary designated $12 million for the program in 2001.
NRCS and the participant enter into a cost-share agreement for wildlife habitat development. This agreement generally lasts from 5 to 10 years from the date the agreement
is signed. WHIP funds are distributed to states based on
state wildlife habitat priorities which may include: wildlife
habitat areas; targeted species and their habitats; and specific
practices. Partnerships with other entities are preferred:
WHIP may be implemented in cooperation with other Federal,
State, or local agencies, conservation districts, or private conservation groups. State priorities are developed through a
locally led process to identify wildlife resource needs and are
finalized in consultation with the State Technical Committee.

tive 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 was provided in previous appropriations for all approved projects. The implementation period for all projects has ended, and no additional
obligations will be incurred. The final payments have been
made and the program will be closed out in 2002. Similar
activities will be carried out through the mandatory Environmental Quality Incentives Program.

This program, also known as ‘‘Farms for the Future,’’ provides guarantees and interest assistance on loans made to
State trust funds, who in turn finance acquisitions to preserve
farmland in selected states. No guarantees have been made
since 1993.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this non-budgetary account records all cash flows to and from
the Government resulting from guaranteed loans committed
in 1992 and beyond. The amounts in this account are a means
of financing and are not included in the budget totals.

Since 2001, Rural Development has had a consolidated Salaries and Expenses account to administer all Rural Development programs, including programs administered by the
Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the Rural Housing Service
(RHS), and the Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS).
RUS provides grants, direct loans and loan guarantees to
suppliers of electric, telecommunications (for general purpose
and for distance learning/telemedicine), and water and wastewater services in rural areas. Through the water and wastewater program, RUS also provides technical assistance. The
programs are administered in Washington, DC. The Rural
Development field office staff performs the services related
to the water and wastewater grant and loan programs. For
the electric and telecommunication loans, general field representatives visit borrowers periodically and maintain liaisons
between the borrowers and headquarters.
RHS was formed from the Rural Housing section of the
Farmers Home Administration and the Community Facilities
Division of the Rural Development Administration. RHS delivers rural housing and community facility programs through
a system of State, area, and local offices.
RBS includes programs from the former Rural Development
Administration, rural development programs form the former
Rural Electrification Administration, and the Agricultural Cooperative Service. This agency delivers loan and grant programs, as well as technical assistance, to cooperatives and
rural businesses.

Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, as amended, Public Law 104–127 (the 1996 Act). Consolidating funding
for these loan and grant programs under RCAP provides
greater flexibility to tailor financial assistance to applicant
needs. Funding in 2003 for all programs is projected to be
at or slightly above the 2002 enacted level.
RCAP is composed of the following three funding streams:
Rural Community Facilities, Rural Utilities, and Rural Business and Cooperative Development. Funds for Native American Communities are provided as part of the whole amount
appropriated for these streams as part of the Native Americans Initiative. The funds are allocated to all three funding
streams.
Water and waste disposal loans are authorized under 7
U.S.C. 1926. The program provides direct loans to municipalities, counties, special purpose districts, certain Indian Tribes,
and non-profit corporations to develop water and waste disposal systems in rural areas and towns with populations of
less than 10,000. The program also guarantees water and
waste disposal loans made by banks and other eligible lenders. Total loan level is projected to be $889 million for these
programs in 2003.
Water and waste disposal grants are authorized under Section 306(a)(2) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are authorized to be made
to associations, including nonprofit corporations, municipalities, counties, public and quasi-public agencies, and certain
Indian tribes. The grants can be used to finance development,
storage, treatment, purification, or distribution of water or
the collection, treatment, or disposal of waste in rural areas
and cities or towns with populations of less than 10,000.
The amount of any development grant may not exceed 75
percent of the eligible development cost of the project. $587
million is projected for this program in 2003.
Emergency community water assistance grants are authorized under Section 306A of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended. Grants are made to public

bodies and nonprofit organizations for construction or extension of water lines, repair or maintenance of existing systems,
replacement of equipment, and payment of costs to correct
emergency situations. These grants are funded on an as needed basis using RCAP flexibility of funds authorization.
Solid waste management grants are authorized under Section 310B(b) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are made to non-profit organizations to provide regional technical assistance to local and
regional governments and related agencies for the purpose
of reducing or eliminating pollution of water resources, and
for improving the planning and management of solid waste
disposal facilities. $4 million is projected for this program
in 2003.
Community facility loans and grants are authorized under
sections 306(a)(1) and 306(a)(19) of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act, as amended. Loans are provided
to local governments and nonprofit organizations for the construction and improvement of community facilities providing
essential services in rural areas of not more than 20,000
population, such as hospitals and fire stations. Total program
level in 2003 is projected to be $477 million.
Business and industry guaranteed and direct loans are authorized under section 310B(a)(1) of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development, as amended. These loans are made
to public, private or cooperative organizations, Indian tribes
or tribal groups, corporate entities, or individuals for the purpose of improving the economic climate in rural areas. For
direct loans no funds were requested or provided in 2002
and no funds are requested in 2003. $733 million in loan
guarantees are projected for 2003.
Rural business enterprise grants are authorized under sections 310B(c) and 310B(f) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended. These grants enable public
and nonprofit organizations to operate rural economic development projects. In general, these grants provide investments
in the human and physical resources of rural communities.
Past projects have enabled rural communities to acquire and
develop land, create technical assistance programs, encourage
small business growth and create new jobs.
Rural Business Opportunity Grants are authorized under
section 306(a)(11)(A) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. These grants enable public bodies
and private nonprofit organizations to provide for technical
assistance, training, and planning activities that improve economic conditions in rural area. $3 million is projected for
this purpose.

Rural housing insurance fund—This fund was established
in 1965 (Public Law 89–117) pursuant to section 517 of title
V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended.
The programs funded through the Rural Housing Insurance
Fund Program account are: section 502 very low and low
to moderate income homeownership loans and guarantees;
section 504 very low-income housing repair loans; section 515
rural rental housing loans; section 524 housing site loans,
single family and multi-family housing credit sales of acquired
property, and section 538 multi-family housing guarantees.
The section 523 self-help housing land development loan program was included under this heading beginning in 1997.
Previously, this loan program was accounted for under the
separate heading of ‘‘Self-Help Housing Land Development
Fund Program Account.’’ Starting in 2001, section 514 domestic farm labor housing loans and grants are funded under
the new Farm Labor Program Account in order to provide
flexibility between loans and the farm labor housing grants.
Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include
towns, villages, and other places which are not part of an
urban area and that have a population not in excess of 2,500
inhabitants, or is in excess of 2,500 but not in excess of
10,000 if rural in character, or has a population in excess
of 10,000 but not more than 20,000 and is not within a
standard metropolitan statistical area and has a serious lack
of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers.
For 2003, funds for section 515 rural rental housing loans
will be limited to repair and rehabilitation only and $60 million is included for this purpose. This is a change from the
2002 budget; it emphasizes the need for repair and rehabilitation of existing rural rental housing. During the hiatus of
providing new construction, RHS will study its multifamily
housing portfolio and determine ways to operate and manage
the portfolio more efficiently so that new construction may
be provided in future years at less cost to the taxpayers.
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.

The goal of the Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community
(EZ/EC) initiative is to revitalize rural communities in a manner that attracts private sector investment and thereby provides self-sustaining community and economic development.
Appropriated funding in 1999 through 2002 was provided for
EZ/EC’s designated as part of the second round of this initiative. No additional funds are requested in 2003 because sufficient carryover balances from previous appropriations are
available to fund current needs.
The flexible grant funding is available for a wide variety
of community and economic development purposes that link
human capital needs with economic development initiatives.
The purposes may include revolving loan funds for business
capitalization or community development, job training and
job counseling, infrastructure investment, home ownership
and home ownership counseling, health care and related facilities, child care and administrative costs linked to redevelopment efforts.
Similar to the first round, the second round was a multiyear effort based on a comprehensive development plan involving community residents, the private sector, the non-profit
community and local, State and Federal governments. Experience from the initial round of urban and rural designations
demonstrated significant successes that are stimulating billions of dollars in private sector investment, reviving communities that had given up hope for economic opportunity and

Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized
under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act by Public Law 104–127, April 4, 1996. These
grants are made available to nonprofit corporations and institutions of higher education to fund the establishment and
operation of centers for rural cooperative development. The
primary purpose of the centers is the improvement of economic conditions of rural areas through the development of
new cooperatives and improving operations of existing cooperatives. RBS can fund up to 75 percent of any project
and associated administrative costs and requires at least a
25 percent matching share from the applicant which must
be from non-Federal sources.
The Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas
(ATTRA) program was first authorized by the Food Security
Act of 1985. The program provides information and technical
assistance to agricultural producers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly and lower
production costs.
Funds are requested for cooperative research agreements
to help the Rural Development mission area maintain a predictable level of research on agricultural and non-agricultural
cooperative issues. Funds are requested for cooperative research agreements for cooperative energy alternatives. These
cooperative research agreements will be made available to
universities and appropriate nonprofit program organizations
to determine how the cooperative form of business can be
adopted to increasing domestic fuel supplies, both traditional
and alternative, while increasing economic returns to farmers.

This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who
in turn relend the funds to small rural businesses, community
development corporations, and other organizations for the
purpose of improving economic opportunities in rural areas.
Through the use of local intermediaries, this program serves
small-scale enterprises and gives preference to those communities with the greatest need. In 2003 the Budget provides
$40 million in loans for this purpose.
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 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.

Rural economic development loans are made for the purpose
of promoting rural economic development and job creation
projects. Loans are made to electric and telecommunication
borrowers, who in turn finance rural development projects
in their service areas. Program costs are derived from interest
earnings on borrowers’ ‘‘cushion of credit’’ loan prepayments.
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 in 1992 and beyond.
The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

Funding was provided in 2001 and 2002 to support grants
for areas that have high energy costs. These grants can be
made to eligible entities or the Denali Commission to construct, extend, upgrade, and otherwise improve energy generation, transmission, or distribution facilities serving communities in which the average residential expenditure for home
energy is at least 275 percent of the national average residential expenditure for home energy (as determined by the Energy Information Agency using the most recent data available). Grants are also available to establish and support a
revolving fund to provide a more cost-effective means of purchasing fuel where the fuel cannot be shipped by means of
surface transportation.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this non-budgetary account records all cash flows to and from
the Government resulting from direct loans obligated in 1992
and beyond. The amounts in this account are a means of
financing and are not included in the budget totals. The subsidy cost of these loans is provided through the Rural Community Advancement Program. Loans made prior to 1992 are
recorded in the Rural Development Insurance Fund Liquidating Account.
The water and waste disposal program makes loans and
grants to finance water and waste disposal facilities in rural
areas.

The Rural Utilities Service conducts the rural electrification
and the rural telecommunications loan programs. The rural
electrification loan program is financed through RUS direct
and guaranteed 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, and operation
of telecommunications lines and facilities or systems.
The electric and telecommunications programs need to be
better targeted to needier areas (lower population and areas
of persistent out migration and poverty). RUS will be reviewing the electric and telecommunications programs to determine and implement methods of increasing targeting of funds.
This includes reducing the amount of funding that subsidizes
systems in urban areas.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
and guaranteed loans obligated 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 (RTB),
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 is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts. Funding for salaries and expenses will be transferred from the unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating
account in 2003.
The RTB provides a supplemental source of financing for
rural telecommunications borrowers. The Bank charges an
interest rate based on the cost of money to the Bank, as
prescribed by law, but not less than 5 percent per annum.
In accordance with section 406(c) of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936, as amended, the first redemption of class
A stock occurred on September 30, 1996. Redemption of class
A stock will continue, as allowed by law, toward the full

The loan and grant program provides access to advanced
telecommunications services for improved education and
health care in rural areas throughout the country. The loans
and grants help education and health care providers bring
the most modern technology, level of care, and education to
rural America so its citizens can compete regionally, nationally, and globally. Additionally, the budget proposes continuing a pilot program, for grants and loans to finance installation of broadband transmission capacity (i.e. the necessary
fiber optic cable capacity needed in order to provide any enhanced services such as the Internet or high speed modems)
to and through rural communities, and to provide local dialup Internet service to under-served rural areas.

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 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 1992. All new activity
in this program is recorded in corresponding program accounts and financing accounts.
In 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 Service, and the business and industry direct and guaranteed
loan programs are administered by the Rural Business-Cooperative Service.

The mission of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is
to open, expand and maintain global market opportunities
through international trade, cooperation, and sustainable development activities which secure the long-term economic vitality and global competitiveness of America’s rural communities and related food and agricultural enterprises.
FAS conducts a demand-driven export strategy, deploying
five major policy objectives to execute the strategy, while integrating commodity and country market priorities for allocating scarce export assistance resources. These objectives include:
Market access: FAS 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. It monitors international compliance with bilateral and multilateral trade agreements. It
identifies restrictive tariff and trade practices which act as
barriers to the import of U.S. agricultural commodities, then
supports negotiations to remove them. It acts to counter and
eliminate unfair trade practices of other countries that hinder
U.S. agricultural exports to those markets. In virtually every
foreign market, U.S. agricultural exports are subject to import
duties and non-tariff trade restrictions. Trade information
sent to Washington from FAS personnel overseas is used to
map strategies for improving market access, pursuing U.S.
rights under trade agreements, and developing programs and
policies to make U.S. farm products more competitive.
Market development, promotion and outreach: FAS develops
foreign markets for U.S. farm products through aggressive
market expansion activities. It provides services to the U.S.
and foreign agricultural trade sectors that are necessary to
establish, build and maintain overseas markets for U.S. agricultural products. Public Law 83–690, approved August 28,
1954, includes authority to establish up to 25 Agricultural
Trade Offices. Currently 16 such offices are in operation at
key foreign trading centers to assist U.S. exporters, trade
groups and state export marketing officials in trade promotion. Promotional activities are carried out chiefly in cooperation with non-profit agricultural trade associations and
firms on a cost-sharing basis. The largest of FAS’s promotional programs are the Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program and Market Access Program. In addition,
FAS sponsors U.S. participation in several major trade shows
and a number of single-industry exhibitions each year. The
Quality samples program provides samples of U.S. agricultural products to foreign importers to help overcome marketing trade barriers. These programs are designed to create
demand for U.S. agricultural products in foreign markets,
introduce U.S. food and agricultural products to potential foreign customers, and show foreign customers how to use U.S.
products.
FAS strategic outreach efforts focus on facilitating export
readiness and help link both export-ready and new-to-export

firms to market entry opportunities, and increase domestic
awareness of export opportunities/global consumer quality and
product safety expectations. These efforts are designed to
strengthen the export knowledge/skills of producers and exporters so they can compete more effectively in the international marketplace. Outreach also includes targeting foreign buyers in educating them about the merits of U.S. products and how they can be purchased.
Market intelligence: FAS provides U.S. farmers and traders
with information on world agricultural production and trade
that they can use to adjust to changes in world demand
for U.S. agricultural products. This is done through a continuous program of reporting by 63 posts located throughout
the world covering some 130 countries. Reporting includes
information and/or data on foreign government policies, analysis of supply and demand conditions, commercial trade relationships and market opportunities. Advanced computer and
telecommunications technology is used to improve and speed
the flow of information between the posts and Washington.
FAS analyzes agricultural information essential to the assessment of foreign supply and demand conditions in order to
provide estimates of the current situation and to forecast
the export potential for specific U.S. agricultural commodities.
Financial marketing assistance: FAS administers a number
of price/credit and risk assistance programs designed to leverage overseas market expansion for U.S. agricultural, fish, and
forest products. These programs include CCC Export Credit
Guarantee Programs, export subsidy programs, including the
Export Enhancement Program and Dairy Export Incentive
Program. These programs are designed to help developing
nations make the transition from concessional financing to
cash purchases, give U.S. producers the ability to counter
export subsidies of foreign competitors and allow U.S. exporters to compete with sales terms offered by foreign competitors.
Long-term market and infrastructure development: FAS
helps USDA and other federal agencies, U.S. universities,
and others enhance the global competitiveness of U.S. agriculture by mobilizing expertise for agriculturally led economic
growth in developing countries. FAS provides linkages to
world resources and international organizations to facilitate
new technologies that are vital to improving the agricultural
demand base and producing new alternative products. Direct
program activities include administering the Cochran Fellowship program and managing USDA’s bilateral exchange and
cooperative research programs with foreign governments and
institutions.
FAS also administers food assistance activities such as Public Law 480, Title I; Food for Progress; and Section 416(b)
programs. P.L. 480 Title I food aid is designed to help developing nations make the transition from donations and
concessional financing to cash purchases while assisting them
in feeding their undernourished people. The Emerging Markets Program, under which technical assistance and related
activities are carried out in emerging markets, is aimed at
enhancing developing countries’ food and rural business systems and expanding U.S. agricultural exports. Food for
Progress provides food to developing countries and emerging
democracies that have made commitments to introduce or
expand free enterprise into their agricultural economies. Section 416(b) provides overseas donations of surplus commodities owned by the CCC to assist developing and friendly
countries.
At the request of the Agency for International Development,
international organizations and foreign governments, technical assistance and training in agriculture and rural develop-

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2003

PUBLIC LAW 480 TITLE II GRANTS—Continued

This account funds the non-credit components of Public Law
480. The Administration is requesting an increase in annual
appropriations for this account to ensure that the U.S. maintains leadership in international food aid while significantly
reducing mandatory programs, consolidating programming
through private voluntary organizations and the World Food
Program, and eliminating reimbursements from the Maritime
Administration.
The Administration proposes to shift funding for several
programs from mandatory to discretionary. In the case of
all these programs, there is no inherent, programmatic justification to provide mandatory funding. Although no specific
legislation is proposed, the Administration has increased the
discretionary request and will constrain mandatory spending
for international food aid. By doing so, a larger proportion
of international food aid will be subject to the annual appropriations process, where Congress has discretion to scrutinize
Federal spending and determine how to best allocate limited
resources.
In addition, the Administration is requesting funds in this
account to cover the portion of cargo preference costs previously reimbursed by the Maritime Administration. This approach will eliminate a duplicative financing system and a
time consuming intra-governmental transfer.

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 developing countries or
private entities may be made over a period of not more than
30 years with a deferral of principal payments for up to
5 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
to the appropriation process. The P.L. 480 program is reimbursed for the dollar value of currencies so used.
The financing of sales of agricultural commodities for local
currencies on credit terms is subject to the same terms that
are applicable to dollar credit financing.
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

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
a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and
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.
The 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for
Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks provided
for disaster recovery activities and assistance. Title II had
received $95 million from the fund as of December 31, 2001.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The Food Stamp Program is the primary source of nutrition
assistance for low-income Americans.
Some of these funds provide a grant to Puerto Rico in
lieu of the food stamp program which gives the Commonwealth flexibility to administer a nutrition assistance program
tailored to the needs of its low-income households.
Funds in this account are also used to carry out the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983 and for food distribution
and administrative expenses for Native Americans under section 4(b) of the Food Stamp Act.

The 156 National Forests, 20 National Grasslands, and nine
land utilization projects located in 44 States, Puerto Rico,
and the Virgin Islands are managed under multiple-use and
sustained-yield principles. The natural resources of timber,
minerals, range, wildlife, outdoor recreation, watershed, and

soil are used in a planned combination that will best meet
the needs of the Nation without impairing productivity of
the land or damaging the environment. These management
and utilization principles are recognized in the Multiple-Use,
Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528–531) and use an
ecological approach to managing the National Forest System.
National Forest System (NFS) operations and maintenance
provide for the planning, assessment, and conservation of ecosystems while delivering multiple public services and uses.
These are delivered through the principal NFS programs of
land management planning; inventory and monitoring; recreation, heritage, and wilderness; wildlife and fisheries habitat
management; grazing management; forest products; vegetation and watershed management; minerals and geology management; landownership management; and law enforcement
operations. These programs maintain the capability to manage natural resources in a manner consistent with ecological
principles and responsibilities.
To overcome inertia and an excessive decision-making structure, USDA will develop legislation to establish ‘‘Charter Forests,’’ certain forests or portions of forests administered outside the Forest Service structure and reporting to a local
trust entity for oversight. The structure would eliminate inefficiencies and focus upon specific strengths. Pilot forests
would establish and address land management objectives;
comply with all Federal and State environmental laws; include a diverse and balanced group of stakeholders as well
as appropriate Federal, tribal, state, county, and municipal
government representatives in the design, implementation,
and monitoring of the project; incorporate current scientific
forest restoration information; and include a multiparty assessment to identify both the existing ecological condition of
the proposed project area and the desired future condition.
Furthering the President’s management agenda, the budget
includes significant restructuring of the Forest Service to improve performance. The Forest Service will complete 22 service-first collocations with the Bureau of Land Management
by the end of 2005. Funds to support this effort are included
in the Capital Improvement and Maintenance account. Secondly, the Forest Service will establish a target to reduce
indirect expenses by 2005 to one-half its 2002 level, to approximately 10 percent of total spending. The Forest Service
will also establish a hiring freeze until the required USDA
workforce restructuring plan establishes measures and mileposts in mapping this reduction in indirect expenses and a
target fixed-to-variable cost ratio of salary and expenses to
total office expenses, including field units.
Lastly, USDA will establish a Field Leadership Decisions
Initiative, which will:
—Reduce accounting codes by 20 percent in 2003 and 5
percent each year through 2005, to be accomplished without
congressional restructuring of expanded budget line items;
—Increase annual competitive sourcing of commercial activities by 10 percent annually through 2005;
—Increase contract fire readiness resources to 20 percent
in 2002 and by 5 percent annually thereafter through 2005;
—Relocate/reassign 500 Washington office and 250 regional
office employees, with indirect costs at Washington office
capped at 7 percent in 2005;
—Focus attrition of 2,500 FTEs annually through 2005,
with half replaced in field locations; and
—Identify a goal level of increasing cost-share resources
to leverage from 2 percent to 5 percent of operating program.
The Budget includes an additional $15 million for expedited
endangered species consultations that may be utilized to reimburse responsible consulting federal agencies.

Funding provides for capital improvement and maintenance
of facilities, roads, and trails. The program emphasizes: better
resource management decisions based on the best scientific
information and knowledge; an efficient and effective infrastructure that supports public and administrative uses; and
quality recreation experiences with minimal impact to ecosystem stability and conditions. The budget includes funding
for facility enhancements for antiterrorism protection and provides $51 million for deferred maintenance.
$10 million is provided to support funding workforce and
organizational streamlining and restructuring activities. The
funds are available for Service-First, the joint effort of expanded customer service and administrative cost savings with
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Requested funds
will support collocating offices with BLM, and other expenses.
Facilities.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of research, fire, administrative, and other (FA&O),
and recreation facilities, including site components such as
roads and trails and the acquisition of buildings and other
facilities necessary to carry out the mission of the Forest
Service. Capital Improvement includes: new construction of
a facility; alteration of an existing facility to change the function; and expansion of a facility to change the capacity or
to serve needs that are different from what was originally
intended. Maintenance is divided into four primary areas:
annual maintenance, deferred maintenance, decommissioning,
and operations. Deferred maintenance work includes the repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of the facility or components of the facility.
Roads.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance
of roads. The program also focuses on decommissioning
unneeded roads and/or roads that are degrading the ecosystem. Capital improvement includes: new road construction;
alteration of an existing road to change the function; and
expansion of the road to change the capacity or to serve
needs that are different from what was originally intended.
The agency will continue to address the growing road system
maintenance backlog. Funding priorities are health and safety, resource protection, and mission critical needs. Maintenance is divided into four primary areas: annual road maintenance, deferred road maintenance, road operations, and decommissioning.
Trails.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance
of trails. Capital improvement includes: new trail construction; alteration of an existing trail to change the function;
and expansion of the trail to change the capacity or to serve
needs that are different from what was originally intended.
Maintenance funding is used to protect capital investments
by keeping trails open for access and protecting vegetation,
soil, and water quality. Work includes clearing the pathway
of encroaching vegetation and fallen trees, and repairing or
improving trail signs, treadways, drainage facilities, and
bridges. Maintenance is divided into four primary areas: annual trail maintenance, deferred trail maintenance, trail operations, and trail decommissioning.
Infrastructure Improvement.—Ameliorates the backlog in
deferred maintenance of National Forest System roads and
trails as well as Forest Service fire, administrative, and recreation facilities. The funds focus on critical maintenance backlogs; i.e., these additional funds are for repair and rehabilitation of existing facilities and roads; funds may not be used
for new and expanded facilities or roads.

The mission of Forest and Rangeland Research is to serve
society by developing and communicating the scientific information and technology needed to protect, manage, use, and
sustain the natural resources of the Nation’s forests and
rangelands. Research is the key to sustaining our forest and
rangeland productivity and health while addressing natural
resource needs. Forest and Rangeland Research is conducted
through six Forest and Range Experiment Station headquarters and their research work units, the Forest Products
Laboratory, and the International Institute of Tropical Forestry. New authority is requested to outlease space in order
to ensure full capacity utilization.
Priority continues on supporting the implementation of forest planning regulations. This includes developing measurement systems for assessing watershed integrity, applying
measurement systems for watershed assessment, providing
information about compatible forest uses and fire management control strategies. Funds are also included for global
climate change research, particularly the use of small diameter trees for biomass energy uses and carbon cycle studies.
Finally, work will continue on development of improved quantitative analytical tools to support forest planning goals to
maximize net public benefits in a more objective and transparent manner.
The budget includes $10 million for new priority research,
including $5 million for ‘‘Sim Forest,’’ a quantitative and analytic data visualization project and $5 million for biobased
products and bioenergy. The Forest Service will comply with
requirements for annualized inventories in the Forest Inven-

State and private forestry programs provide assistance to
manage, use, and protect forest resources on State, urban,
and private lands to meet domestic and international demands for goods and services. Assistance is provided to a
wide range of customers including all States, Puerto Rico,
the Virgin Islands, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and
the Trust Terrority of the Pacific.
Forest Health Management.—Includes Federal lands, and
cooperative lands and proposed funding to address emergency
pests and pathogens.

FOREST SERVICE—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Cooperative Fire Protection.—Includes funding to enhance
the capacity of States to provide coordinated fire suppression
response and to promote safe and effective initial fire attack
in wildland/urban interface areas by volunteer fire departments.
Cooperative Forestry.—Includes forest stewardship, the forest legacy program, urban and community forestry and forest
resources and information analysis.
Within the Forest stewardship program, $10 million is provided for a small diameter and underutilized wood biomass
cooperating fund to foster enhanced management and utilization of these resources on private lands. Also included is
$6 million to be focused in those priority locations identified
by states situated within national priority areas identified
by USDA. These focused funds will be allocated competitively
on the basis of performance measures that clearly indicate
the environmental effect of selected projects upon the landscape.
The Budget does not include funding for the Economic action program (EAP) or the Pacific northwest assistance program (PNW). Increased funding has been provided to rural
counties through the new payments to states legislation that
offers rural counties payment equal to the higher payments
received over the past 15 years. Priority needs for rural development can be addressed through USDA’s rural development
programs. These programs include Business and Industry
(B&I) guaranteed loans and Rural business enterprise grants
(RBEG) to encourage the development of jobs in rural communities. USDA also offers small grant and loan programs, such
as the Intermediary Relending program (IRP), the Rural Business Opportunity Grant program (RBOG), and Cooperative
development grants that can enable farmers to invest in other
crops or businesses.
As described under the National Forest System, Forest
Service will expand the pool of funds available for contracting
out. Also, Forest Service will expand outsourcing opportunities. These efforts will be supplemental by a new section
310 (at the end of the Department of the Interior (DOI) chapter) that would allow DOI and USDA to provide a preference
for local contractors in disadvantaged areas for ecosystem
restoration and fuels reduction work. This provision is intended to replace preferences provided by Sections 311 and
326 of the 2002 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, while providing the basis for a broader, national program.
The 2002 provisions provided broad waivers of federal procurement laws in order to promote local contracting for watershed restoration and other activities. The proposed change
will avoid the appearance of conflicts or potential abuses by
reinstated procurement laws and requiring accountable decisionmaking when considering preferences authorized by this
section. This change will also promote greater consistency
in the use of preferences for local contractors through the
application of one, rather than multiple, authorities. One provision will govern local preferences nationwide, rather than
separate provisions governing different geographic locations
or activities.
International Programs.—The programs will emphasize
habitat protection for migratory birds along the length of
flyways, preventing the introduction of new invasive species,
and sustainable forestry techniques development for other
timber exporting nations.

Wildland fire management.—This appropriation provides
funding for Forest Service fire management, presuppression,
and suppression on National Forest System lands, adjacent
State and private lands, and other lands under fire protection
agreement.
The budget places additional emphasis on economic opportunities for rural communities who have experienced job
losses from federal timber harvest reductions coupled with
an increased threat of wildfire. The budget increases the
availability of funds for contracts, expands competitive
outsourcing, and provides an expanded authority for local
preference.
This year, USDA is working with the Department of the
Interior to review fire suppression tactics and expenses to
assess why costs have risen so significantly per fire and per
acre. The review will determine whether there are ways to
restrain costs in firefighting without endangering firefighters
or communities.
The budget includes $20 million for the Forest Service to
work with state and local governments in identifying areas
to pilot test ‘‘fireplain easements.’’ Under the program, State
officials, in consultation with the Secretary, shall identify
areas within and adjacent to National Forest System lands
were potential fire suppression expenditures may exceed the
estimated value of the private land, considering factors relevant to fire suppression strategies including fuels, location,
topography, access, and improvements. Within identified
areas, and after consultation with the Secretary, State may
use grant funds to acquire, on a ‘‘willing seller’’ basis, perpetual easements to permit the implementation of fire suppression strategies, including allowing fires to burn without
suppression activities. The goal would be to test the efficacy
of avoiding extraordinary protection of outlying structures
while providing States an incentive to minimize additional
encroachment into such vulnerable areas. The program can
help protect firefighters from dangerous situations by relying
more on natural contours, while savings fire suppression
funding in the process.
This budget provides more than $234 million for Hazardous
Fuels Treatment and directs over 70 percent of funds to the
wildland-urban interface as the most effective method to protect communities and lower suppression costs over time.
Preparedness.—To protect National forest system (NFS)
lands from damage by wildfires commensurate with the threat
to life, values at risk, public values, and management objectives.
Preparedness provides the basic fire organization and capability to prevent forest fires and to take prompt, effective
initial attack suppression operations action on wildfires. This
funding covers expenses associated with planning, prevention,
detection, information, and education; pre-incident training;
equipment and supply purchase and replacement; and other
preparedness activities, including the base salary and travel
of the regular Forest Service firefighting organization.

134 of April 26, 1996 as amended, amounts collected at fee
demonstration areas, sites, or projects are available for maintenance and development of recreation facilities.
Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie rental fees.—Monies received under a special use authorization (issued under subsection (b) of Public Law 104–106, Title XXIX, Subtitle A,
Section 2915, after distribution to the State of Illinois and
affected counties pursuant to the Act of May 23, 1908) are
available to cover the cost to the United States of prairie
improvement work at the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie.
Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie Restoration Fund.—
Monies received from user fees and the salvage value proceeds
from sale of any facilities and improvements pursuant to Section 2915(d) and (e) of Public Law 104–106, as amended by
Public Law 105–83, are available to cover the costs of restoration and administrative activities.
Payment to Minnesota.—At the close of each fiscal year,
the State of Minnesota is paid 0.75 percent of the appraised
value of certain Superior National Forest lands in the counties of Cook Lake and St. Louis for distribution to these
counties (16 U.S.C. 577g).
Payments to Counties, National Grasslands.—This program
provides an annual payment to counties in which Title III—
Bankhead-Jones Acquired Lands are located for funding public schools and roads. Of the net revenues for use of Title
III—Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act lands, 25 percent is
paid to the counties in which such lands are located for public
school and road purposes (7 U.S.C. 1012).
Payments to States.—The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000 (P.L. 106–393 dated

maintenance funding through predictable payments to counties, job creation in those counties and other opportunities
associated with the restoration, maintenance and stewardship
of Federal lands. Under P.L. 106–393, counties may elect
one of two methods to calculate Payments to States funding
they receive. Counties can either choose to continue receiving
funds established by the 25 percent fund or they can receive
their share of the State’s ‘‘full payment amount.’’ Full payment amount is the average of the highest three years of
payments to the State under the 25 percent fund through
the years 1986–1999. A county’s share of that amount is
generally determined by the State in cooperation with the
affected counties.
Expenses, brush disposal.—Funds from payments by purchasers of National Forest timber to dispose of or treat slash
and other debris that result from cutting operations (16
U.S.C. 490).

(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)

A Recreation Fee Program is proposed, generally consistent
with the existing recreation fee demonstration program, that
would permanently authorize the direct expenditure of recreation fees collected by the Forest Service and the Department
of the Interior agencies beginning in 2005.
A proposal to enhance timber sale competition would amend
the National Forest Management Act to require the use of
sealed bids, rather than open bids for timber sales. This will
encourage consistency across the National Forest System—
both the eastern and southern U.S. use sealed bidding for
timber sales—and increased competition in bidding. Increased
funds collected are available for repayment of the KV fund
borrowings. Reinstates the original requirements in National
Forest Management Act for sealed bids.
This proposal would permit non-timber interests, such as
environmental, or recreation groups to bid on timber sales,
and to not harvest the trees if successful in their bid. This
reform would open up the bidding process, increasing the
timber sales competition, and increasing receipts to the government. The proposal would amend the National Forest
Management Act to alter the requirement that winning bids
must proceed to harvest within a short period of time—winning non-timber interest bids would be permitted to limit
timber harvests over the course of the normal rotational period described in the forest plan. Receipts collected from winning bids by non-timber interests may be used for local forest
restoration projects targeted to generate local employment.
Consistent with the Government-wide goals to receive market value for the use of government assets (see OMB Circular
A–25), a proposal would require the receipt of fair market
value from use and occupancy of ski resorts on national forest
lands. The proposal would amend the Omnibus Parks and
Public Lands Management Act (P.L. 104–333), which established a new fee schedule for ski resorts on National Forest
System lands. The amendment would adjust percentages of
gross revenue that determine fees to the government. Increased funds collected are available for forest restoration
of landscapes impacted by ski resorts.

The Working Capital Fund is a self-sustaining revolving
fund that provides services to National Forests, to Research
Experiment Stations, to other Federal agencies when necessary, to State and private agencies as provided by law,
and to persons who cooperate with the Forest Service in fire
control and other authorized programs.
Forestry-related supply and support services include:
Equipment Services.—The fund owns, operates, maintains,
replaces, and repairs common-use, motor-driven, and similar
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.
Computer Services.—The Fund provides computer hardware, software, and radio equipment.
Supply Services.—The fund operates the following common
services, and provides for cost-recovery of Working Capital
Fund Program Management:
