The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of
1996 (1996 Act) established the Fund for Rural America to
provide support to rural communities across the United
States. The 1996 Act provided that $100 million be made
available on January 1, 1997 for use by the Fund. The 1997
Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery
from Natural Disasters (P.L. 105–18) limited the available
funding for the Fund to $80 million. As authorized by the
1996 Act, the Secretary of Agriculture allocated the available
funding between rural development and research activities.
The Act specifies that at least one-third of the funds be allocated to rural development activities and one-third to research
activities. No more than two-thirds of the available funds
may be made available for rural development activities.
In 1997, the Secretary allocated $44 million of the available
funding to support ongoing rural development activities. Another $36 million was provided for research, extension, and
education grants.
The 1996 Farm Bill authorized $100 million for the Fund
in each of 1997, 1999, and 2000. The Department’s 1998
budget included a proposal to shift the $100 million available
in 2000 to 1998 in order to facilitate more consistent and
efficient program delivery. Since this proposal was not accepted, no funding was authorized for the Fund in 1998.
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. These funds are available
for two years. The 1999 appropriations language blocked the
use of 1999 funds in 1999. However, these carryover funds
are available for use in 2000. The Secretary allocated $40
million of the available $60 million funding in 2000 to support
outreach for socially disadvantaged producers, water and
waste grants and loans, farm labor housing grants, and other
ongoing rural development activities. Another $20 million was
provided for center grants for research focused on minority
land and community security, food entrepreneurship, manure
and animal waste management, site-specific resource management, and people in forest communities. The 2000 appropria-

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 has also expressed a strong desire for and is considering
additional legislation, that would require these county-based
agencies to make more services available to the public electronically. Since its beginning in 1996, the USDA Service
Center modernization initiative has been working to restructure county field offices, modernize and integrate business
approaches and replace the current stove-pipe 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
achieve the goal of a fully operational CCE in 2002 as set
forth in 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. Additional funds in the
individual agency budgets will support the reengineering of
business processes and data acquisition needed to maximize
the benefits of this technology.

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act and the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, the Department has the responsibility to
meet the same standards for storage and disposition of hazardous wastes as private businesses. Since the Department
has substantial commitments under these Acts, a central fund
has been established so that resources may be allocated to
the Department’s agencies. Allocations are made according
to objective criteria.

fees for rental of space and related services. The appropriation
covers all fees for all regular appropriated accounts within
the Department of Agriculture with the exception of the Forest Service. This account also finances the operation and
maintenance of four buildings in the Headquarters area.

strategic space plan. Since then, funds were made available
for the construction and occupancy of an office facility at
the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and the design
and implementation of a long-term program to renovate and
modernize the South Building.

Farm Outreach and Assistance Grants.—This program is
authorized under section 2501 of Title XXV of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990. Section 2501
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to provide outreach and
technical assistance to encourage and assist socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers to own and operate farms and
ranches and to participate in agricultural programs.
The Secretary may make grants to and enter into contracts
and other agreements with eligible community-based organizations, 1890/1862/1994 Land-Grant Institutions, Tuskegee
University, Native American Community Colleges and Hispanic Servicing Institutions with demonstrated experience in
providing education or other agriculture-related services to
socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers.
The USDA through partnership agreements will provide
outreach, training, technical assistance, and sound farm management and production to small farmers and ranchers by
providing assistance in custom farm plans, production, crop
diversification, marketing practices, farm accounting, and recordkeeping. The overall objective of the program is to enhance
the ability of small and minority producers to operate a farming or ranching enterprise independently and produce income
to service an adequate standard of living. Services are provided by non-federal employees who are employed by the entities.

ECONOMIC RESEARCH SERVICE
Federal Funds
General and special funds:

The Economic Research Service provides economic and
other social science research and analysis for public and private decisions on agriculture, food, natural resources, and
rural America.
Miscellaneous funds received from States, local organizations, and others are available for support of economic research and analysis (7 U.S.C. 450b, 450h, 3318b).
The 2001 request includes funding for three new initiatives:
an initiative on structural change, coordination and concentration in food and agriculture; an initiative on global
research, statistics, and outreach; and an initiative, concerning the economic incentives for carbon sequestration and
trace gas emissions control in agriculture. The 2000 appropriation included funds for certain evaluation activities of the
USDA Food and Nutrition Service, which are proposed to
be funded through that account in 2001.

Census of Agriculture.—The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years. In 2001, a decrease reflects removal
of the Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership Survey.
An increase is requested to fund cyclical activities associated
with preparations 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

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 45 State
offices serving the 50 States; most of these offices are operated as joint State and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies provide additional State and county data. The 2001 program includes increases for development
of NASS Computer Security Architecture, implementation of
a hog survey, expansion of the environmental statistics program, and a reduction in lower priority programs.
Statistical research and service.—This activity is designed
to improve the statistical methods and related technologies

Funding for the Agricultural Research Service is proposed
as part of the Research Fund for America. This proposal
highlights the Administration’s priority to providing needed
and sustained investments in important Federal research programs on a deficit neutral basis. A discussion of the Research
Fund for America, and two other funds for the environment
and transportation, can be found in Section II of the Budget
volume.
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 2001, the Service proposes
increased emphases for critical research needs in agriculture,
such as: Emerging and exotic diseases, Invasive species,
biobased products and new uses, the President’s Food Safety
Initiative, Human Nutrition, Agricultural genomics and genetics, Pest Management requirements of the Food Quality Protection Act, Integrated sciences for ecological challenges, Air
quality, Global climate change, and Agricultural information
and library services. The Service expects to submit 70 new

Note.—2000 and 2001 estimates includes water quality grants, food safety and pesticide impact assessments,
activities previously financed from the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service Research
and Education Activities and Extension Activities accounts.

Section 406 of the Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Education Reform Act of 1998 authorized integrated research,
education, and extension competitive grants to provide funding for integrated, multifunctional agricultural research, extension, and education activities. A 100% non-Federal match
is required for commodity or location-specific activities. Programs proposed for funding under this account are:
Small farms initiative.—In 2001, a small farms initiative,
to be implemented through the Department’s Land-Grant
partners, is proposed in support of the Secretary’s Civil Rights
Initiative to strengthen USDA’s research and educational assistance to the socially disadvantaged.
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.
National agricultural pesticide impact assessment.—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 new multi-tactic IPM strategies.
Grant opportunities will be available to state Land-Grant and
federal scientists, non-Land-Grant institutions, and grower
commodity group partnerships with these groups.
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 sys-

tems designed to maintain crop productivity and profitability
while meeting or exceeding environmental quality and human
health standards.
Methyl bromide transition program.—This is a competitive
grants program designed to support the discovery and implementation of practical pest management alternatives for commodities affected by the methyl bromide phase-out in 2005.
Anti-Hunger and Food Security grants program.—Funds are
proposed to establish an anti-hunger and food security program which will support competitively-awarded projects. This
program will provide funds to non-profit entities for projects
that reduce hunger, improve nutrition, bolster community
food security, and help families move from poverty to selfsufficiency.
Invasive species program.—This program will support a new
competitive grant program that supports integrated research,
extension, and education activities in collaboration with representative individuals, groups and agencies at a local level
to address invasive species issues on an ecoregional basis.
Biobased products program.—This funding will enable
CSREES to work with other agencies to increase economic
opportunities for U.S. farmers by developing and expanding
markets through research, development, and commercialization of new, economically competitive and environmentally
preferable products from biobased resources.
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.—This program
supports the globalization of colleges and universities to
strengthen U.S. economic competitiveness and to promote
international market development for U.S. agriculture.

1998 Research Act.—The Agricultural Research, Extension,
and Education Reform Act of 1998 authorized the annual
appropriation of $120 million for high priority research, extension, and education. These funds are available for two years.
The 1999 appropriations language blocked the use of 1999
funds in 1999. However, these funds are available in 2000.
The 2000 appropriations language blocked the use of 2000
funds in 2000. The 2001 budget allows the use of the second
year’s availability of the 2000 funds, but disallows the expenditure of the authorized $120 million for 2001.

Note.—In 2000 and 2001 funding for water quality grants, food safety and pesticide impact assessments
is included in the account for integrated activities.

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 seventeen 1890 land-grant
colleges, including Tuskegee University.
Special research grants.—This program addresses research
areas of national interest. Increased funding is proposed for
grant programs in 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. The program goal is the imple-

mentation of IPM methods on 75 percent of crop acreage
by the year 2000, with an outcome of creating an agricultural
system that is highly competitive in the global economy.
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. A $2 million 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, rural development centers, and aquaculture centers.
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 increased 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. This initiative
includes funding for a plant genome mapping program for
which the Agricultural Research Service serves as the lead
agency. Global change research being carried out through the
NRI is part of a government-wide program. In 2001 the proposed increase to $150 million will provide resources needed
for the program to enhance and develop scientific areas that
are critical such as: agricultural genomics, food safety, environment and natural resource management and competitiveness and profitability of agriculture.
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.—Increased 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
a Native American institutions program. Proposed funding
for these higher education programs would support approximately 150 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 49 teaching and research 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.

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 2001 increases have 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, pesticide applicator training, 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.
Plant and animal health monitoring.—The Agency conducts
programs to assess animal and plant health and to detect
endemic and exotic diseases and pests. The plant and animal
health monitoring programs are primarily cooperative efforts
of the Federal and State governments, and industry. The
Agency also carries out surveys in cooperation with the States
to detect harmful plant and animal pests and diseases and
to determine if there is a need for pest eradication programs.
Pest and disease management programs.—The Agency carries out programs to control and eradicate infestations and
animal diseases that threaten the United States; to reduce
agricultural losses caused by predatory animals, birds, and
rodents; to provide technical assistance to States, counties,
farmer or rancher groups, and foundations; and to ensure
compliance with interstate movement and disease control regulations. Interstate shipments of plants, livestock, and related
materials are monitored and regulated to prevent the spread
of disease. APHIS protects agriculture from detrimental animal predators through identification, demonstration, and application of the most appropriate methods of control.
Animal care.—The Agency conducts regulatory activities
which ensure the humane care and handling of animals used
in research, exhibition, or the wholesale pet trade. The Agency is also responsible for administering the Horse Protection
Act, which prohibits the showing, selling, or exhibition of
sore horses.
Scientific and technical services.—APHIS develops methods
to control animals and pests that are detrimental to agriculture, other wildlife, and public safety. The agency regulates
genetic research to guard against the release of potentially
harmful organisms into the environment. APHIS also conducts veterinary diagnostic laboratory activities and biologic
regulatory enforcement to ensure that the products developed
for combatting disease are potent, safe, and pure. It also
provides and directs technology development in coordination
with other groups in APHIS and Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) officials to support PPQ programs of the Agency

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, and for
activities associated with the issuance of biotechnology certificates.
This is one of several 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 continues to be a priority of the Administration, and the 2001 budget proposes a $38 million increase
for inspection of meat, poultry, shell egg and egg products.
This increase will cover pay cost increases for Federal and

State inspection programs, and initiatives for: redeployment
and enhanced capabilities of the inspection workforce; improved risk assessment and collaborative programs with
States; verification of foreign and domestic inspection systems
for HACCP compliance; and expanded support of Codex
Alimentarius.
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.
In 2001, the Administration is proposing a new user fee
to offset the cost of Federal meat, poultry, shell egg and
egg products inspection. The proposal would require industry
to reimburse the government for all Federal services. This
proposal would ensure that sufficient resources are available
to provide the level of in-plant inspection necessary to meet
the demands of the industry.
On January 25, 1997, the President announced the 1998
President’s National Food Safety Initiative. The initiatives
for 1998 through 2000 have laid the foundation for building
a strong, scientific base for a farm-to-table food safety system
that protects public health by monitoring and addressing a
broad range of food safety hazards. The 2001 Food Safety
Initiative builds on this foundation and will increase funding
department-wide by $28 million over the 2000 level of $136
million. Resources are targeted to: (1) further develop a nationally integrated food safety system by expanding and
strengthening the partnership between Federal, State, and
local agencies; (2) continue enhancing surveillance of
foodborne diseases and increasing the speed and efficiency
of responses to outbreaks of foodborne illness; and (3) put
greater emphasis on the control of foodborne hazards in the
pre-harvest phase of the farm-to-table continuum. Continued
investment is required to realize the President’s goal of establishing a seamless, science-based food safety system.
In 1998 the President’s Council on Food Safety was established to develop a comprehensive strategy for food safety
activities, including coordinating research efforts and budget
submissions among the food safety agencies.

Unavailable Collections (in millions of dollars)

Legislation will be proposed to charge fees for the cost
of all Federal inspection of meat, poultry, shell egg and egg
products at all establishments inspected by the Food Safety
and Inspection Service (FSIS). Currently, fees to reimburse
the cost of overtime inspection are required at some FSISinspected establishments, but not at others. Requiring the
payment of user fees for inspection services would not only
result in savings to the taxpayer, but would also ensure that
sufficient resources are available to provide the mandatory
inspection services needed to meet increasing industry demand. These fees would result in a cost of less than one
cent per pound of product to consumers, but would allow
the government to maintain its level of inspection effort to
ensure a safe supply of meat, poultry and egg products. The
implementation of the user fee authority would be designed
to be fair and equitable; promote accountability and efficiency;
and minimize any impact on the competitive balance among
affected industries.
This is one of several 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.

Under authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946,
Federal meat and poultry inspection services are provided
upon request and for a fee in cases where inspection is not
mandated by statute. This service includes: certifying products for export beyond the requirements of export certificates;
inspecting certain animals and poultry intended for human
food where inspection is not required by statute, such as
buffalo, rabbit, and quail; and inspecting products intended
for animal consumption.

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

VerDate 04-JAN-2000

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 International Monitoring Staff 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 2001, 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 packing and stockyard activities.
This is one of several 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.

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).

In 2001, $6 million has been included as part of the Administration’s Food Safety Initiative. This represents an increase
of $3 million from the $3 million provided in 2000. These
funds will be used to monitor microbiological pathogens and
establish a baseline for the level of these on fruits and vegetables. In addition $6 million is included to implement to provision of the mandatory livestock price reporting legislation
enacted in 2000.
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.
The 2001 request includes almost $6 million to fund the
mandatory livestock reporting program enacted in 2000.
Inspection, grading and standardization.—Nationally uniform standards of quality for agricultural products are established and applied to specific lots of products to: promote
confidence between buyers and sellers; reduce hazards in marketing due to misunderstandings and disputes arising from
the use of nonstandard descriptions; and encourage better
preparation of uniform quality products for market. Grading
services are provided for cotton and domestic and imported
tobacco.
Quarterly inspection of egg handlers and hatcheries is conducted to ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit
for human consumption.

Grants are made on a matching fund basis to State departments of agriculture to carry out specifically approved programs designed to enhance marketing efficiency. Under this
activity, specialists work with farmers, marketing firms, and
other agencies in solving marketing problems and in using
research results. The 2001 budget requests an increase of
$0.3 million for this program.

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.

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

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

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

Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

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 2001 budget includes
an additional $1 million to support the President’s Bioproducts Initiative. This funding will allow RMA to begin the
process of research, analysis, and the development of biobased
crop insurance policies, such as switch grass.
The Federal government reimburses private insurance companies for certain administrative expenses incurred while delivering the crop insurance program. In 1998, discretionary
funding was provided for the reimbursement of agents’ sales
commissions in accordance with the Federal Crop Insurance
Reform Act of 1994. The Agricultural Research, Extension
and Education Reform Act of 1998 (P.L. 105–185), provides
mandatory funding for the reimbursement of administrative
expenses to private insurance companies for delivering crop
insurance for the 1999 and subsequent crop years.

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 $60
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 $20 per crop (may be $60 in some cases
of limited coverage), 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
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.
RMA plans to roll out Round II of the Dairy Options Pilot
Program (DOPP) during 2000 which includes reaching producers in 61 counties in 32 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 and the New York Board of Trade.
RMA also 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 provider.
In crop year 1999, 196.2 million acres were insured, with
an estimated $2,322 million in total premium income, including $952 million in premium subsidy.
The Corporation’s budget is presented in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 60, ‘‘Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises,’’ and Statement No. 5, ‘‘Accounting for Contingencies.’’
The following table compares the scope of the insurance
operations planned for 2001. Amounts in the 1999 column

Financing.—The Corporation is authorized under the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, to use funds from the
issuance of capital stock which provides working capital for
the Corporation.
Receipts, which are for deposit to this fund, come mainly
from premiums paid by farmers. The principal payments from
this fund are for indemnities to insured farmers, and administrative expenses for approved insurance providers.
Premium subsidies are authorized by section 508(b) of the
Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, and are received
through appropriations.

For crop years 1948 through 1998, indemnities ($18,478
million) exceeded premium income ($16,401 million) by $2,077
million; the loss ratio for the period was 1.13.

As part of a comprehensive package to strengthen the farm
safety net, the Administration is proposing crop insurance
reform in 2001. The proposal would continue, for the 2001
crop year, the crop insurance premium discounts which were
offered for the 1999 and 2000 crop years. In addition, the
proposal calls for the establishment of multi-year loss coverage which would provide an insurance plan to protect producers in cases of consecutive crop years’ losses. The Administration’s reform proposal will also include provisions to provide risk management education, conduct more research and
development, conduct a pilot program for insuring livestock,
and remove the area-wide trigger requirement for non-insured
payment assistance.

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 to-

bacco 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. Currently, the majority of FSA county office employees are not Federal employees, although their
salaries and benefits are fully paid through Federal funds
appropriated to this account. The Administration is proposing
legislation to make all FSA employees Federal employees.
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 prevents
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 market loss assistance 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
the examination of warehouses licensed under the U.S. Warehouse Act and non-licensed warehouses storing CCC-owned
or pledged commodities. Examiners perform periodic examinations of the facilities and the warehouse records to ensure
protection of depositors against potential losses of the stored
commodities and to ensure compliance with the U.S. Warehouse Act and any CCC storage agreements.
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 loan mediation program. In no
case will the total amount of a grant exceed $500,000 annually.

Funding for the Tree Assistance Program (TAP) was provided by the 1998 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations
Act, P.L. 105–174, enacted May 1, 1998. The $14 million
appropriation was made available for obligation through September 30, 1998, with any unobligated funding expiring. However, the 1999 Appropriations Act, P.L. 105–277, Section 757
of the General Provisions, authorized the use of unobligated
1998 TAP funds for losses due to disasters that occurred
between May 1 and August 1, 1998. Eligibility for these funds
was also extended to producers whose trees were lost or destroyed by May 31, 1999, as a direct result of fire blight
infestation (a destructive disease caused by bacteria) that was
caused by a natural disaster. This funding was available for
obligation 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 may not receive more
than $25,000 per person.
During 1999, $2 million was obligated in Michigan, and
the remaining unobligated balance of $1 million expired.

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 1999, annual rental and cost-share payments for acres
enrolled in the program were paid through the Commodity
Credit Corporation. Remaining unobligated funds from the
fiscal year 1996 appropriated account have been used for CRP
technical assistance and were nearly exhausted in 1999. Less
than $1 million remained at year end. In providing technical
assistance, the Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) determines eligibility, develops conservation plans,
and helps install approved practices. The Forest Service (FS)
and cooperating State forestry agencies develop plans for tree
planting and assist 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 and water agencies, State fish and
wildlife agencies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, and
others. In fiscal year 1999, $21 million was obligated for
the technical assistance services of NRCS and FS and outlays
of $53 million in CRP appropriated funds were made to NRCS
and FS.
CRP program payments are included under the Commodity
Credit Corporation account.

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 1999, there were $25 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.
For 1999, pursuant to P.L. 106–31, enacted May 21, 1999,
$28 million in supplemental funding was provided to the
Emergency Conservation Program, to remain available until
expended. Under the 1999 program, cost-sharing and technical assistance were provided in 42 States as well as the
Virgin Islands to treat farmlands damaged by floods, hurricanes, drought, ice storms, tornadoes, and other natural disasters. The 1999 program rehabilitated approximately 4,889,922
acres of farmland damaged by these natural disasters.
No funding was provided in the 2000 Agriculture Appropriations Act for this program. However, $50 million in supplemental funding was provided by title I of the 2000 Consoli-

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.
Additional funding was provided by a 1999 supplemental
appropriation, P.L. 106–31, for direct and guaranteed farm
ownership, direct and guaranteed operating, and emergency
disaster loans. Funding is available until September 30, 2000.
Additional funding was also 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.

For 2001, legislation will be proposed to expand eligibility
for emergency disaster loans to agricultural-related enterprises that are currently ineligible for either USDA or Small
Business Administration disaster loans. Interest rates on
these loans will be above those charged for family-sized farms.
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 2000, an estimated $650 thousand will be paid to producers and manufacturers who file claims under the program.
The 2001 budget requests $450 thousand for this 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 2000 and 2001 budget
estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2000 and
2001 from the present level; (b) 2000 crop production will
decrease from 1999 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2001 are expected to be higher than 2000 levels; (d) yields for the 2000
crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trend; (e)
acreage allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect
for the 2000 crops of certain kinds of tobacco; and (f) poundage quotas will be in effect for the 2000 crop of peanuts.
Marketing loan rates for the 2000 crop are assumed to equal
rates for the 1999 crop.
It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the
year ending September 30, 2001, 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 to 36.4 million acres
by 2002. 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 con-

verting 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.
A general CRP signup was held (signup 18) October 26
through December 11, 1998. Of the 7.1 million acres offered,
a total of 5 million acres were approved for enrollment beginning in fiscal year 2000. The national average annual rental
payment for this acreage is estimated to be about $46 per
acre. Technical assistance for this signup was funded with
unobligated and appropriated funds. Rental payments for
signup 18 begin in fiscal year 2001.
The general CRP signup, signup 20, will be held from January 18 through February 11, 2000. It is assumed for budgeting purposes that approximately 1.8 million acres, of the
5 million acres offered, will be accepted in the program beginning with the 2001 program year. Conservation Reserve Program acreage also contributes to the USDA Conservation
Buffer Initiative and the Conservation Reserve Enhancement
Program and to other purposes which are estimated to enroll
4.2 million acres through 2002.
As part of the Administration’s farm safety net proposal,
the Budget proposes to increase the CRP enrollment cap by
almost $4 million acres to 40 million. Also, the Administration
will offer bonuses totaling up to $100 million in FY 2000
and up to $125 million annually in FY 2001–2002 to producers who enroll land in CRP through the continuous sign
up.
These assumptions have been developed for budget purposes as the best estimate of acreage bid into the program
that will be both eligible and of high environmental quality.
As such, the estimate may not reflect the actual acreage
selected for Signup 20. USDA’s goal is that lands selected
for the CRP will only be those lands where the benefits to
the Nation of retirement are greater than the benefits of
continued production.
Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for
net realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations:

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

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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. Participants received a 50-percent advance payment for the 1996 crop within 30 days after
contract approval. The balance of the 1996 payment was
issued by September 30, 1996. In subsequent years, participants will receive final payments by September 30, with an
option to receive advances on December 15 or January 15.
For fiscal years 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. The 1996 Act makes
the peanut program, effectively, a no-cost program. The Secretary is required to provide a nonrefundable per-pound 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.
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.
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
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. To the
maximum extent practicable, the Secretary shall operate the
pilot program in a budget neutral manner.
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. The Farm Service Agency administers
CCC’s Noninsured Assistance Program. The program will reimburse producers at the same rates and terms as the catastrophic program where assistance is triggered by area wide
disasters.
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 2000 Act extended the price support program through calendar year 2000 at the $9.90 per
hundred-weight support level. 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 2000 Act postponed the start of the Dairy Recourse Loan Program until
January 1, 2001. The program will assist dairy processors
in managing their inventories of eligible dairy products and
assure a greater degree of price stability for the dairy industry. The program is a transition between the Dairy Price
Support Program that has been in effect since 1949 and the
dairy industry functioning with no Governmental intervention
in a global economy. Dairy processors acquire their milk from
dairy farmers that manufacture these eligible dairy products.
The program indirectly assists dairy farmers similar to the
Dairy price Support Program. 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.

PROGRAMS OF THE CORPORATION—Continued

Emergency Livestock Feed Assistance.—In calendar year
(CY) 1998, $200 million in CCC funds were made available
for livestock feed assistance for producers affected by disasters. An additional $70 million was authorized by the FY
1999 Emergency Supplemental Act (P.L. 106–31). The FY
2000 Act allows for not less than $200 million to be provided
to livestock producers.
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 crop only.
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
shelterbelts windbreaks 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 fiscal year 1999 and 2000
programs were limited to $174 million by provisions of the
FY 1999 and FY 2000 Agriculture Appropriation Acts, but
will return to the statutory level of $200 million in FY 2001
and 2002. As part of the Administration’s farm safety net
proposal, the Budget provides an additional $125 million over
authorized levels, for a program total of $325 million. Beginning in FY 2001, comprehensive nutrient management plans
will be required of all EQIP participants with livestock-or
animal waste management-related contracts.
The Farmland Protection Program (FPP) authorizes the
Secretary to assist State, local, and tribal governments in
purchasing conservation easements. The Secretary was authorized to use $35 million in CCC funds to carry out the
program. These funds were exhausted in 1998. The FY 2000
Appropriations Act provided $250,000 for the use in the state
of New Hampshire. In support of the farm safety net proposal,
$65 million is proposed for FY 2001.

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. $50 million is provided for FY 2001 as part of the farm safety net.
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. CCC must
make available the following funding for the CFO: $15 million
in fiscal year 1999, $25 million in fiscal year 1999, $37.5
million in fiscal year 2000, $50 million in fiscal year 2001,
and $62.5 million in fiscal year 2002. Total authorized funding is $197.5 million. However, no obligations have been incurred in fiscal years 1997–1999. The 1999 and 2000 Appropriations Acts precluded operations of the CFO in 1999 and
2000. In 2001, savings in the CFO are proposed to offset
other conservation program initiatives.
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
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.
Under current law, WRP is authorized to enroll 975,000
cumulative acres. The FY 2000 Agriculture Appropriations
Act allowed WRP to enroll 150,000 acres, leaving approximately 40,000 acres remaining under the cap in FY 2001.
As part of the Administration’s farm safety net proposal, the
Budget proposes to enroll an additional 210,000 acres, bringing total enrollment in FY 2001 to 250,000 acres.
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. Pursuant to this authority, CCC will purchase 5 million
metric tons of wheat in the course of 1999 and 2000, which
will subsequently be used for donation purposes under Section
416(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949. A portion of this initiative is a part of the comprehensive U.S. food aid package
to Russia, as announced by the President in November 1998.
An estimated 1,500,000 metric tons shall be shipped to Russia
during 1999 and 2000. The wheat initiative includes purchases of primarily wheat and wheat flour during 1999 and
2000.
Supply and foreign purchases.—The Corporation can procure from domestic and foreign sources food, agricultural com-

modities, and products and related materials to supply the
needs of Federal agencies, foreign governments, and private
and international relief agencies, under section 5 (b) and (c)
of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act, as amended.
Commodity exports.—The Corporation promotes the export
of agricultural commodities and products through sales for
dollars or foreign currency, payments, extension of credit, assumption of certain risks, and conduct of other operations
with respect to the exportation of commodities. Such commodities and products may be those held in private trade channels
as well as those acquired by the Corporation. These programs
are carried out under the authority of the CCC Charter Act
and other specific legislation.
Foreign donations.—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. Section 1125
of the FY 1999 Agriculture Appropriations Act increased the
$30 million and $10 million limitations to $35 million and
$15 million, respectively, for fiscal year 1999 only.

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 fiscal year 1996, and $275 million for the six-year period
including fiscal years 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 through 2002 to $188 million. The remain-

ing funds are expected to be exhausted during 2000, and
the Budget proposes to fund $35 million per year through
2002 on these expenditures through CCC.
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 fiscal year 1995 were $46.188 million. The
fiscal year 1995 cap was revised to $36.209 million effective
fiscal year 1999 to exclude the Emerging Markets Program
because such transfers are not made pursuant to Section 11
of the CCC Charter Act.
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.
A summary of such current activities not included under
other designated activities is as follows:

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 obliga-

tions 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.

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

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

which authorizes the use of CCC funds for export promotion
and overseas market development activities of U.S. agricultural products. The FY 2000 program level is $27.5 million.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Beginning also in FY 2000, CCC is funding the Quality Samples Program at an authorized annual level of $2.5 million.
Under this initiative, samples of U.S. agricultural products
will be provided to foreign importers to promote a better
understanding and appreciation for the high quality of U.S.
products.
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.
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 will resume this program in
FY 2000. Direct loans would finance about $1 billion worth
of farm storage facilities from FY 2000 through 2002. The
cost to the U.S. government 2002 for the FSFL program
would be estimated using procedures stipulated by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990.
Ethanol Grain Program. As part of the Farm Safety Net
proposal, the FY 2001 President’s Budget assumes that CCC
will make payments under a new Ethanol Grain Program
to ethanol producers who increase their purchase of surplus
grain for conversion into fuel ethanol. The program, which
is authorized by Executive Order 13134, the Agricultural Act
of 1949 as amended by the Food Security Act of 1985 (PL
99–198), and the CCC Charter Act, will remove surplus grain
from the market and encourage ethanol production.

at $600 million to provide annual payments to farmers and
ranchers who implement high-value conservation practices
such as comprehensive nutrient management, low-impact
grazing practices, windbreaks and grassed waterways. This
program would be administered by the Natural Resources
Conservation Service. The Environmental Quality Incentives
Program would increase from its authorized $200 million to
$325 million per year, for farmers and ranchers implementing
conservation and livestock management practices. The Conservation Reserve Program’s cumulative enrollment cap would
be increased from its current 36.4 million acres to 40 million
acres. Bonuses totaling up to $100 million in FY 2000 and
$125 million in FY 2001 and 2002 would be offered under
current authority to producers who enroll land in the CRP’s
continuous signup program for high-value acreage such as
filter strips and grass waterways. Annual enrollments under
the Wetlands Reserve Program would increase to 250,000
acres per year and the current cumulative enrollment cap
of 975,000 acres, expected to be reached in FY 2001, would
be eliminated.
In addition, funding for the Farmland Protection Program
would be provided at $65 million per year. This program,
which is also part of the President’s Lands Legacy Initiative,
provides matching funds to purchase permanent easements
on farmland threatened by urban and suburban sprawl. The
Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program would be funded at $50
million annually, to provide cost-share assistance to farmers
and other landowners for habitat restoration. Both these programs have exhausted their authorized funding.
Associated technical assistance would also be funded
through this proposal, including a $35 million increase in
the cap on CCC-funded ADP obligations for FY 2001 and
2002, to compensate for prior-year appropriations reductions
to the 7-year cap established by the 1996 Farm Bill.

This schedule reflects the CCC portion of the Administration’s proposed Farm Safety Net reform. The proposal includes counter-cyclical farm income support to provide additional payments through the expected enactment of the next
farm bill, which would provide producers 92 percent of their
lost farm revenue relative to a rolling five-year average. The
proposal would also: extend the dairy price-support program;
provide financing to cooperatives for livestock processing and
other value-added facilities; and waive certain area triggers
for crop insurance provided under the Non-insured Assistance
Program. (Additional crop insurance reforms that are part
of the Farm Safety Net proposal can be found in the Crop
Insurance schedules.)
The proposal includes a comprehensive conservation initiative. A new Conservation Security Program would be funded

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 guarantees 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 2001
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

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 is being implemented in 2000 by CCC
under Section 504(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of
1990. This program will provide 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.

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.
This account includes $10 million in competitive partnership grants as part of the Clean Water Action Plan, to enhance institutional capacity for locally-based institutions, including watershed councils, conservation districts, and cooperatives. In particular, funds would be directed for hiring
non-federal watershed coordinators to develop watershed partnerships that include all stakeholders, to resolve differences
and produce and help implement strategic plans to restore
impaired watersheds. Watersheds would be selected through
an inter-agency review process; however local entities may
receive a preference in competing for funding if their States
have prepared memoranda of understanding (MOU) for coordinating with the Federal government. Up to 10 percent
of available funds may be used for developing MOUs among
States and Federal agencies. In addition, $3 million is available for environmental monitoring and research work related
to the Clean Water Action Plan.
In support of the Clean Water Action Plan’s Animal Feeding Operations (AFOs) Strategy, conservation technical assistance funding targeted to AFOs will increase by $54 million
over 2000 levels, for a total of $110 million in 2001. These
funds will help livestock producers develop comprehensive nutrient management plans, a cornerstone of the strategy.
In support of the Administration’s Livability Initiative, $5
million is provided for the Community/Federal Information
Partnership. These funds will be used to enter into cooperative agreements with state and local governments to develop
publicly available geospatial data that adheres to Federal Geographic Data Commission standards. This data will allow
states and communities to make more informed land-use planning decisions, promoting ‘‘smart growth.’’
Of this program’s $15 million in additional climate change
funds, $12 million would expand soil carbon studies in support of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. These
projects would provide validated soil carbon inventories and
assess alternative soil management impacts on soil carbon
stocks at national, regional, and field levels. In cooperation
with the Agricultural Research Service, NRCS will field test
soil carbon prediction and planning tools. An additional $3
million is provided as part of the Climate Change Technology
Initiative. These funds would be used to carry out research
pilot projects on AFO and livestock management issues and
cropland management.
As part of the Administration’s bioproducts initiative, $5
million is included to provide grants and technical assistance
to farmers who market or produce bioenergy or biobased products. These funds would expand the economic opportunities
available to farmers while promoting environmentally-friendly
technologies.

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 of
the Nation’s soil resources, and NRCS provides interpretations and publications that provide physical land facts needed
for program development, resource conservation planning, installation of planned practices, and information for use by
other Federal, State, and local agencies in making land-use
decisions. National leadership is provided for digitizing soil
surveys in cooperation with States, and other users of soil
survey data. Legislation requires 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 Watershed Surveys and Planning 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. Leveraging program funds by costsharing with districts or States is strongly encouraged. Watershed plans are developed that provide alternatives to reduce
the damage from floodwater, sediment, nonpoint source pollution, and erosion; conserve, develop, and use water resources;
and conserve and properly use lands.
Funding provided to the Watershed Surveys and Planning
program will be used to address one of the most critical strategic objectives of the USDA Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA) Strategic Plan: ‘‘Restoring healthy watersheds, providing clean and abundant water supplies for people
and the environment.’’ Program activities reflect high priority
natural resource concerns such as: agriculture-induced water
quality impacts, wetlands restoration, and flood damage risk

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. $3 million is proposed to provide technical and
financial assistance to communities to implement disaster
mitigation plans.
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.
Within the 11 authorized projects, 395 subwatershed areas
have been identified for planning purposes. Installation
progress in these subwatersheds is as follows:
Emergency watershed protection operations.—This program
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to undertake such
emergency measures for runoff retardation and soil erosion
prevention as may be needed to safeguard life and property
from floods and the products of erosion on any watershed
whenever natural elements or forces cause a sudden impairment of that watershed. An emergency is considered to exist
when a watershed is suddenly impaired by flood, fire, wind,
earthquake, or other natural 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.
To improve the delivery and defensibility of the program,
NRCS is currently drafting a programmatic environmental
impact statement (EIS) 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.
Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law
566.—The Department provides technical and financial assistance to local organizations to install measures for watershed
protection, flood prevention, agricultural water management,
recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. Significant reforms were begun in 1997 to make this program environmentally beneficial, with higher investment returns to society.

High priority P.L. 534 projects are eligible to compete for
funding for P.L. 566 funding.
Watershed work plans are prepared by sponsoring local
organizations with the Department’s assistance or through
State and local resources. After work plans are approved by
the Department or Congress (projects where the estimated
Federal contribution will exceed $5 million require congressional approval), financial assistance is provided for specific
works of improvements. Since 1944, the Federal government
has invested $8.5 billion to develop a watershed infrastructure
through the Small Watershed program. This investment
yields annual benefits estimated at $800 million.
Included in the funding level is $4 million in subsidy budget
authority for a new $60 million loan program that will provide
loans to State, local, and tribal governments to rehabilitate
aging PL–534 and PL–566 watershed structures. Over the
last 50 years, NRCS has constructed more than 10,000 dams
through these programs. Many of these dams, which were
built with a 50 year lifespan, have reached or nearly reached
their life expectancy, and as they age may pose a safety
risk to the communities that surround them. While NRCS
bears no legal responsibility for maintaining these structures,
the Administration wants to work with the communities to
address this issue.
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 2001.

No funds are proposed for the Forestry Incentives Program
(FIP). 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. Activities in this program are
redundant with, and more effectively served through, assistance provided by the Forest Service.
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 1999, program provided funding for 82,172 acres of
tree planting, and 19,832 acres in timber stand improvements, and 4,505 acres targeted towards special forestry and
site preparation.

The objectives of the Water Bank Program are to conserve
water; preserve, maintain, and improve the Nation’s wetlands;
increase waterfowl habitat in migratory waterfowl nesting,
breeding, and feeding areas in the United States; and secure
recreational and environmental benefits for the Nation. The
program was authorized by the Water Bank Act of 1970,
as amended by Public Law 96–182, approved January 2, 1980.
The Water Bank Extension Act of 1994 extends for one year
1985 agreements entered into under the Water Bank Act
of 1970, and due to expire on December 31, 1995. 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 2000. For 2001, USDA 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 in 1999 provided
cost-share 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). 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. All remaining unobligated
balances are expected to be obligated in 2000. For additional
information on WRP, see the Commodity Credit Corporation
section.

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 Commodity
Credit Corporation for the years 1996–2002. These funds were
exhausted in 1999. The conservation initiative portion of the
Budget’s farm safety net proposal includes $50 million in
annual direct spending for WHIP.
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.

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 payment is expected
to be made in 2000. Similar activities will be carried out
through the mandatory Environmental Quality Incentives

In 2001, a new consolidated Salaries and Expenses account
is being established to administer all Rural Development programs, including the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the Rural
Housing Service (RHS), and the Rural Business-Cooperative
Service (RBS). This change will result in a more simplified
and manageable administration of Salaries and Expenses
funds and activities for the Rural Development mission area.
The separate Salaries and Expenses accounts for RUS, RHS,
and RBS will be deleted and any obligated and unobligated
balances available from prior years will be transferred to
and merged with the Rural Development account.
The program functions of the Rural Development agencies
will not be affected by this administrative change. The three
agencies, which were all formed as a result of the Secretary’s
1995 reorganization plan, will continue to provide outreach
and deliver their programs to rural customers.
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. In 1997, the Dedicated Loan Origination and Servicing System (DLOS) was
implemented to centralize and streamline the servicing activi-

This account consolidates under the Rural Community Advancement Program (RCAP) funding for the direct and guaranteed water and waste disposal loans, water and waste disposal grants, emergency community water assistance grants,
solid waste management grants, direct and guaranteed community facility loans, community facility grants, direct and
guaranteed business and industry loans, rural business enterprise grants, and rural business opportunity grants. This is
in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Federal
Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, as amended, Public Law 104–127 (the 1996 Act). Consolidating funding
for these 12 loan and grant programs under RCAP provides
greater flexibility to tailor financial assistance to applicant
needs.
RCAP is composed of the following three funding streams:
Rural Community Facilities, Rural Utilities, and Rural Business and Cooperative Development. For 2001 the Budget proposes the full flexibility authorized in the 1996 Act for up
to 25 percent of the resources in each stream to shift to
other streams, in order to respond to the unique rural development needs of states and localities. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 50,000
population, such as hospitals and fire stations. Grants to finance early warning radar systems are also proposed, to provide communities susceptible to sudden, dangerous weather
such as tornadoes and flooding, with early warning alarm
transmitters.
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.
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. Partnership Technical Assistance Grants are proposed to help rural communities develop
comprehensive strategies for revitalization and to better coordinate Federal and other sources of assistance.

This new account is being requested to consolidate three
farm labor programs into one account. This consolidation will
provide more flexibility for distributing rural farm labor housing assistance and allows the total assistance being provided
specifically to farm laborers to be identified in one place.
The account consists of direct farm labor housing loans, domestic farm labor housing grants, and low-income migrant
and seasonal farm-worker grants.
The direct farm labor loan program is authorized under
section 514 and the rural housing for domestic farm labor
grant program is authorized under section 516 of the Housing
Act of 1949, as amended. The loans, grants, and contracts
are made to public and private nonprofit organizations for
low-rent housing and related facilities for domestic farm labor.
Grants assistance may not exceed 90 percent of the cost of
a project. Loans and grants may be used for construction
of new structures, site acquisition and development, rehabilitation of existing structures, and purchase of furnishings and
equipment for dwellings, dining halls, community rooms, and
infirmaries.
The low-income migrant and seasonal farmworkers grants
are made to public agencies or private organizations with
tax exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, that have experience in providing services
to low-income migrants and seasonal farmworkers. The types
of assistance to be provided is determined by the Secretary
of Agriculture. In FY 1999 $20 million in grants were made
to assist low-income migrant and seasonal farmworkers in
California and Florida.

RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
For rental assistance agreements entered into or renewed pursuant
to the authority under section 521(a)(2) or agreements entered into
in lieu of debt forgiveness or payments for eligible households as
authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Housing Act of 1949,
ø$640,000,000¿ $680,000,000; and, in addition, such sums as may
be necessary, as authorized by section 521(c) of the Act, to liquidate
debt incurred prior to fiscal year 1992 to carry out the rental assistance program under section 521(a)(2) of the Act: Provided, That of
this amount, not more than $5,900,000 shall be available for debt
forgiveness or payments for eligible households as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Act, and not to exceed $10,000 per project
for advances to nonprofit organizations or public agencies to cover
direct costs (other than purchase price) incurred in purchasing
projects pursuant to section 502(c)(5)(C) of the Act: Provided further,
That agreements entered into or renewed during fiscal year ø2000¿
2001 shall be funded for a 5-year period, although the life of any
such agreement may be extended to fully utilize amounts obligated.

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

section 504 very low-income housing repair loans; section 514
domestic farm labor housing 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 is 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.’’ The Budget requests the section 514 domestic farm
labor housing loans be funded under the new Farm Labor
Program Account in order to provide flexibility between these
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.
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.

This proposed legislation would eliminate the provision in
the Housing Act of 1949 that requires that at least 20 percent
of the section 538 multi-family housing loans be subsidized
through interest rate buydowns. In most cases, the tenants
this program serves have incomes high enough to guarantee
sufficient cash flow to borrowers to allow them to pay back
the loan.
Proposed legislation would also establish for section 502
guaranteed single family housing loans a guarantee fee of
2 percent which lowers the subsidy rate of the program and
allows the administration to provide more loans at less cost
to the taxpayer.

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.
The first two years of the authorized ten-year for EZ/EC’s
designated as part of the second round of this initiative was
provided through the FY 1999 and 2000 appropriation acts.
Legislation will be proposed to provide the outyear followon funding for the five new rural empowerment zones, and
20 new entereprise communities as authorized by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, to create economic opportunity in
the most distressed rural communities. A similar proposal
is requested for urban zones through the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

RURAL BUSINESS-COOPERATIVE SERVICE—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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
demonstrates significant successes that are stimulating billions of dollars in private sector investment, reviving communities that had given up hope for economic opportunity and
creating thousands of jobs, moving people from dependency
to active participation in the economy. Round two is built
on the successes of the initial round.

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

The Federal Agriculture Improvement Act of 1996 established the National Sheep Industry Improvement Center to
promote activities to strengthen and enhance production or
marketing of sheep and goat products in the United States.
The Center may provide loans or grants to eligible entities
to provide assistance to the industry for infrastructure development, business development, production, resource development, and market and environmental research. The 1996 Act
provided up to $20 million in mandatory funding for the establishment and operation of the Center and authorized additional discretionary funding of $30 million. In 2000, $10 million was granted to an intermediary to provide assistance
to the sheep and lamb industry. An additional $5 million
in discretionary funds are requested in 2001 to help the domestic lamb industry adjust to foreign competition, as part
of the President’s initiative supporting the domestic lamb industry.

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.
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.

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.
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
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.

In 2001, the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB) is proposed to
become a Performance Based Organization to establish its
financial and operational independence prior to its being
privatized within ten years. Funding for the RTB’s loan subsidies and administrative expenses will be transferred from
the unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating account.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for the Rural Telephone Bank, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992
and beyond as well as administrative expenses for the program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value
basis; 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 both subsidy budget authority and
the related salaries and expenses will be transferred from
the unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating account in
2001.
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
privatization of the Rural Telephone Bank required by law.
In 2001, the RTB is proposed to become a Performance Based
Organization to establish its commercial viability prior to its
being privatized within ten years.
Administrative support is provided for the general operations of the Bank by RUS employees and the Office of the
General Counsel.

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 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 dial-up Internet service to under-served rural areas.

Object Classification (in millions of dollars)

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.

FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL SERVICE

(INCLUDING

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

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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. Staff
increases to improve market access work will be achieved
by shifting resources from FAS’ financial marketing efforts.
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 17 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 is 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. 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 develop overseas markets and expand the levels of U.S. agricultural commodities. These programs include CCC Export Credit Guarantee Programs, export subsidy programs, including
the Export Enhancement Program and Dairy Export Incentive
Program, and food assistance activities such as Public Law
480, Food for Progress and the Section 416(b) 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
and helps increase income and food availability in developing

nations by mobilizing expertise for agriculturally led economic
growth. Through the administration of a number of collaborative programs, FAS works to enhance U.S. agriculture’s
competitiveness by providing linkages to world resources and
international organizations and building a spirit of cooperation. These linkages produce new technologies that are vital
to improving the agricultural demand base and producing
new and alternative products. Direct program activities include the administration of the Cochran Fellowship Program
and management of USDA’s bilateral exchange and cooperative research programs with foreign governments and institutions. Another activity is the Emerging Markets Program
under which technical assistance and related activities are
carried out in emerging markets aimed at enhancing their
food and rural business systems and expanding U.S. agricultural exports. At the request of the Agency for International
Development, international organizations and foreign governments, technical assistance and training in agriculture and
rural development are provided on a reimbursable or advance
of funds basis.
In 2000 and 2001, the Foreign market development cooperator program and the Quality samples program will receive
mandatory funding from CCC, administered by FAS.
The new Quality samples program will provide samples
of U.S. agricultural products to foreign importers to display
the high quality of U.S. products.

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.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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
emerging democracies that have made a commitment to introduce and expand free enterprise elements in their agricultural
economies.
The following table reflects the composition of the combined
appropriations (in millions of dollars):

163

modities 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 Budget proposes to authorize the transfer of up to 15 percent of Title II funds
to Title III funds. This will allow for increased flexibility
in the Title II and Title III programs.

recipient country for specific economic development purposes.

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 continue 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 Administration is proposing to restore Food Stamp benefits to certain legal immigrants made ineligible by restrictions in the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
Reconciliation Act of 1996.
This proposal also provides States with the option to: (1)
conform their food stamp vehicle policy with their Temporary
assistance for needy families vehicle policy, so long as food
stamp households are held harmless; and, (2) conform food
stamp and Medicaid income definitions.
The proposal is net of food stamp savings due to child
support enforcement proposals.

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 use, wildlife and fisheries habitat management, rangeland management, forestland management, soil, water, and
air management, minerals and geology management, landownership management, and law enforcement. These programs maintain the capability to manage natural resources
in a manner consistent with ecological principles and responsibilities. Funds have not been included for the general administration activity programs now financed directly by the
Forest and Rangeland Research, State and Private Forestry,
National Forest System, Wildland Fire Management, Reconstruction and Construction, and Land Acquisition appropria-

tions. In prior years, administration of these programs was
funded through NFS.
The 2001 Budget includes an emphasis on sustainable forestry. The proportion of timber production resulting from a
stewardship purpose rather than a commodity purpose continues to rise, more than doubling since 1994. Supporting
these goals, the Administration is proposing a new $10 million
pilot Forest health stewardship program that will better enable the use of underutilized and small diameter woody material to achieve sustainable forest management and watershed
health and restoration. In addition, FS continues to advance
in measuring forest integrity and evaluating sustainable forestry, such as through the Montreal criteria and indicators.
The Budget proposes a new $65 million Planning, Inventory
and Monitoring Initiative. The initiative includes funds for
forest land management planning, and wildlife and resource
inventory and monitoring. These funds are needed to adequately follow through on the new Forest Planning regulations, including funds to: accelerate forest planning work that
has been slowed in recent years; support the proposed community advisory groups, bio-regional and watershed planning;
select species representatives; establish new protocols for focal
species monitoring; enhance monitoring to better evaluate
survey populations and pursue adaptive management. In addition, funds are included to pursue the Clean Water Action
Plan assessment costs, called for under the Unified Federal
Policy for Watershed Management on Federal Lands.
Increased funds are also included for the Survey and Manage monitoring work. $10 million in additional funding for
these activities is provided in timber sale management; $10
million is provided in inventory and monitoring; and additional funds are dispersed throughout different budget line
items.
The Watershed Restoration and Enhancement Agreements
is proposed for use by the National Forest System when carrying out forest and watershed planning. The purpose of this
funding is to enhance the forest planning process—particularly the bio-regional and watershed assessments—by providing funding to non-federal entities for work on lands surrounding or adjacent to national forests as part of the forest
planning process for the betterment of the national forest.
The program would emphasize corridor creations and cooperative arrangements among land owning entities, in which $5
million would be available to establish or enhance buffers
around national forests for habitat protection, wildlife corridors between national forests and other federal and state
land holdings, and riparian zones to protect rare aquatic species present within the national forest. (Sec. 323 of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, 1999, as included in Public Law 105–277, section 101(e).).
$30 million in new funding is proposed for a new Tourism/
Rural Development Initiative for developing tourism plans,
analyzing special use permits, developing trails, restoring or
constructing recreational facilities and enhancing tourism appeal on national forests. The sites chosen for this program
target lower income, resource-dependent areas, adjacent to
National Forests, where there are promising tourism opportunities. This initiative would target roughly 20 priority forest
locations, and after discussions with local communities, would
develop ‘‘destination’’ tourism infrastructure and opportunities, establishing new economic prospects for these gateway
communities.
To support management reforms, an advance appropriation
of $15 million will be available to reward those forests that
adopt approved restructuring or streamlining management
practices (efficiency-enhancing, cost-savings or customer service-producing) by the end of 2001. FS will publish a list of

different management practices at the beginning of 2001 and
management units will be evaluated for those that achieve
these goals by the end of the year.
Recommendations from the Report by the National Academy of Public Administration note that the current discretionary budget structure for the Forest Service does not support adequate linkage of the agency strategic plan, forest
plans, and performance measures. As a result, accountability
and financial integrity have suffered. Accordingly, USDA will
present the Congressional Justification for the 2001 Budget
in a format that supports a performance-based budgeting approach. This budget proposal is a significant opportunity to
present a budget based on performance in a manner consistent with the agency strategic plan and the Government
Performance and Results Act. The new budget structure will
accomplish the following:
—Focus debate on outputs and outcomes rather than budget line items;
—Reflect the nature of the real work being done by the
Forest Service (ecosystem and multiple use), allowing the
field staff to avoid artificially categorizing a task to match
budget lines;
—Eventually link forest plans and the budget (a Committee
of Scientist recommendation):
—Provide increased accountability in agency program delivery;
—Simplify the agency accounting, allowing field staff to
do more natural resource related work instead of accounting work (estimated by GAO to account for tens of millions of dollars annually);
—Simplify the budget (e.g., reducing the National Forest
System’s budget line items and extended budget line
items from 29 to 3), supporting the goal of achieving
a clean opinion for the agency’s financial statements.

Funding for infrastructure provides capital improvements
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.
Facilities.—Provides for capital improvements 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 Improvements include: 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 improvements and maintenance of roads. The program also focuses on decommissioning
unneeded roads and/or roads that are degrading the ecosystem. Capital improvements include: 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 improvements and maintenance of trails. Capital improvements include: 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.

This proposal would decouple the road and trail fund from
the receipts of national forests. Instead, fixed mandatory
funding would be available for annual expenditures. The program would continue to focus on infrastructure needs of reconstruction and maintenance for roads and trails. In addition, the fund would be managed so as to give priority to
opportunities to provide contracts to support public works
contracts and other job creating programs in rural communities through Jobs in the Woods, Youth Conservation Corps,
and similar special employment programs to employ displaced
timber workers and residents of rural communities near national forests.

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. This information is essential for formulating policy and wisely managing and conserving both public and private forests and rangelands. Research is the key to sustaining
our forest and rangeland productivity and health while providing a quality environment. Forest and Rangeland Research
is conducted and disseminated through six Forest and Range
Experiment Station headquarters and their laboratories, the
Forest Products Laboratory, and the International Institute
of Tropical Forestry.
Priority will be placed on supporting the implementation
of forest planning regulations. This includes analyzing watershed integrity measurement and systems, evaluating monitoring systems and assessing results, providing information
about compatible forest uses. In order to appropriately designate the new ‘‘focal’’ species, additional funding in this
budget will emphasize priority wildlife habitat research; however, because these projects affect other agencies in addition
to the FS, FS Research is enhancing existing coordination
mechanisms to ensure that no overlapping and redundant
work occurs. 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.

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.
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.
The new Wildland/Urban Interface Program will reduce fire
damages and personal risks. Fire Management will be used
to encourage greater community participation in reducing fire
risk in the Wildland/Urban Interface, through competitive
grants to partially support community planning and disaster
prevention and hazard mitigation assistance. Community implementation of fire hazard mitigation projects will save Federal wildfire suppression costs. Insurance company participation may provide a subsequent reduction in insurance premiums for participating communities.
Cooperative Forestry.—Includes forest stewardship, the
stewardship incentives program, the forest legacy program,
urban and community forestry, economic action programs, and
Pacific Northwest community assistance programs. Forest
stewardship includes: forest resource management; and seedlings, nursery, and tree improvement programs. Economic action programs include economic recovery, rural development,
and forest products conservation and recycling programs.
Funding for the Forest Legacy, Urban and Community Forestry and the Smart Growth Partnership Loans within this
account is proposed as part of a new Lands Legacy discretionary spending catergory to provide dedicated and protected
funding for the President’s Lands Legacy Initiative. See the
Environment Chapter in the Budget for a summary of the
Initiative. These funds along with increases in other accounts
highlight the Administration’s commitment to making new
tools available, and working with states, tribes, local governments and private partners to protect great places; to conserve open space for recreation and wildlife habitat; and to
preserve forest, farmlands, and coastal areas.
New funding in the Economic Action Programs will be targeted to support new agreements for rural development cooperation in forest resource dependent locations. Also, the
Smart Growth Partnership is a new USDA direct loan program to use subsidized loans for smart growth land acquisition, management and use through partnerships with state,
local, and tribal governments. The program would allow com-

Personnel Summary

315

The Forest Service will propose legislation to decouple its
mandatory spending programs from timber receipts and instead to authorize spending from the Treasury at current
baseline-assumed levels (fixed, specific levels of spending)
under a new, broader-purposed program.
The revised policy would improve management and increase
accountability by severing the linkage between program
spending and timber harvest volumes, thereby eliminating
concerns that the source of funds influences decisions on the
choices for management prescriptions, and increase agency
reliance on the funds to finance organizational costs. The
new mandatory account structure will preserve funding at
known, fixed, and dependable amounts, and display budget
information more visibly allowing the agency, Congress, and
the public an expanded role in funding allocation decisions.
To ensure greater funding visibility and improved targeting,
funding decisions for the new account will be displayed in
the agency’s Congressional Justification for the Budget, using
the annual performance measures to indicate the outcomes
of the intended spending. This results in a comparable effect
to putting the spending ‘‘on-line’’ through the discretionary
budget.
The reforms to the permanent appropriations would establish the new Healthy Investments in Rural Environments
(HIRE) initiative to hire thousands of skilled workers in rural
communities through public works contracts and begin to reduce the backlog of priority maintenance, reconstruction, and
forest health projects on National Forest System lands. The
HIRE would use Jobs in the Woods, Youth Conservation
Corps, and similar special employment programs to employ
displaced timber workers and other rural workers. HIRE
would fund a range of different projects, including reforestation, timber stand improvement, road maintenance, fuels reduction, wildlife habitat restoration, erosion control, or survey
and monitoring work. In addition to the activities now carried
out with these funds (e.g., reforestation), other priorities include road maintenance, and prescribed burns and other hazardous fuels reduction. Funds could be leveraged through
challenge cost-share to best accomplish the program goals.
These changes would make mandatory funding more visible
to the public, more transparent for the budget and accounting
system, better targeted toward Forest Service priorities, removed from any unintended incentives that affect management decisions, and available for increased rural employment.

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.

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.
Through this program the Forest Service also assists other
Federal agencies and States with training programs, planning
assistance, sharing joint equipment use contracts and interagency fire coordination centers.
Fire Operations.—To efficiently suppress wildland fires on
or threatening National Forest System (NFS) lands or other
lands under fire protection agreement. Fire Operations provides funds for all hazardous fuel reduction program activities
including planning and implementation, mechanical treatments, prescribed fire, and monitoring of fuel treatment accomplishments. Fuel treatment activities are performed to
minimize the potential for large, destructive wildfires.
Fire Operations funds are used to immediately and efficiently rehabilitate severely burned NFS lands to prevent
further destruction of natural resources, including soil loss
and flooding. Funds are used to increase the level of fire
preparedness when predicted or actual burning conditions exceed normal levels.
Contingency Funds.—This budget includes $150,000,000 in
contingent funding for 2001 to be utilized for emergency
wildland fire activities, if needed, beyond the amount requested in this budget.

Current receipt sharing payments (25% payments) are proposed to be replaced by a stable, guaranteed level of payments
based on the concept of the guaranteed payments, ‘‘Payments
to States, Northern Spotted Owl Guarantee’’. The Administration’s objective is to secure a stable and permanent source
of funding for rural schools and other infrastructure needs.
The Administration’s proposal would significantly increase
funding for these activities over current baseline levels.
Nationally, payments to States funding has declined 37%
since 1989, from $361 million down to $229 million last year
(the 1999 payment is based on 1998 receipts). The Administration’s proposal would provide a guaranteed $270 million
annually to States. The Administration fully recognizes the
importance of these payments to local communities for public
schools and roads as a result of Federal landownership. By
virtue of this stabilization proposal, the Administration has
shown its commitment to continuation of the payments and
will work to ensure they are permanently provided every year
in the future.
The Administration stands ready to work with Congress
to produce legislation that provides increased, guaranteed,
stable payments to States and communities. Any proposals,
including those that would establish a portion of the funding
for ‘‘special projects,’’ should allow the counties the option
to participate or to use the full funding for schools.
The Administration would consider additional special
project funding if the projects are targeted to provide better
management, improved community stewardship, or ecological
restoration of the National Forests, and Grasslands. This
could provide opportunities for the Forest Service to provide
public works contracts and other job creating programs in
rural communities through Jobs in the Woods, Youth Conservation Corps, and similar such special employment programs to increase employment in rural areas.
