The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 required the establishment
of a Chief Information Officer (CIO) for all major Federal
agencies. The Act requires USDA to maximize the value of
information technology acquisitions to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of USDA programs. To meet the intent of
the law and to provide a Departmental focus for information
resources management issues, Secretary’s Memorandum
1030–30, dated August 8, 1996, established the Office of the
Chief Information Officer (OCIO).
The CIO serves as the primary advisor to the Secretary
and Mission Area Heads in these areas. OCIO provides leadership for the Department’s information and information technology (IT) management activities in support of USDA’s program delivery.
OCIO is leading USDA’s eGovernment efforts, in coordination with the Presidential eGovernment Initiatives, to transform the Department’s delivery of information, programs, and
services using eGovernment channels. OCIO is designating
the Department’s Enterprise Architecture to efficiently support USDA’s move towards eGovernment by leveraging economies-of-scale to acquire and share data and supporting IT
applications and infrastructure. OCIO is strengthening
USDA’s Computer Security Program to mitigate threats to
USDA’s information and IT assets and support the Department’s Homeland Security efforts. OCIO continues to facilitate the USDA IT Capital Planning and Control investment
review process by providing guidance and support to the Department’s Executive IT Investment Review Board, which approves all major technology investments to ensure they economically and effectively support program delivery.
Funded through the USDA Working Capital Fund, OCIO
provides automated data processing (ADP) and wide-area telecommunications services to all USDA agencies through the
National Information Technology Center and the Telecommunications Services and Operations organization, with
locations in Ft. Collins, Colorado, Kansas City, Missouri, and
Washington, D.C.
OCIO also has direct management responsibility for the
IT component of the Service Center Modernization Initiative
(SCMI). This includes the implementation of a common technology infrastructure to replace the outdated and stove-piped
systems supporting the Farm Service Agency, the Natural
Resources Conservation Service, and Rural Development.

WORKING CAPITAL FUND

The Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994
requires the Secretary of Agriculture to procure and use computer systems in a manner that enhances efficiency, productivity, and client services, and that promotes computer information sharing among agencies of the Department. In addition, the Clinger Cohen Act of 1996 requires USDA to maximize the value of information technology acquisitions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of USDA programs. Congress passed new legislation in 2000, ‘‘The Freedom to EFile Act,’’ that requires agencies to make more services available to the public electronically. The USDA Service Center
Modernization Initiative (SCMI) has been working to restructure county field offices, modernize and integrate business
approaches and replace the current stove-piped and aging
information systems with a modern common computing environment (CCE) that optimizes information sharing, customer
service, and staff efficiencies. The funds requested under this
account would fund essential capital investments needed to
implement the modernization plan. Economies of scale in the
procurement and management of information technology systems present compelling arguments for coordinating information technology investments. Without these investments, the
Department’s ability to provide timely and efficient services
will continue to erode and the costs of maintaining the separate, aging systems will increase. The increase of $44.6 million is to fund increased costs for information technology investments by the Farm Service Agency, Rural Development,
and the Risk Management Agency. An additional $4 million
is requested to fund ongoing projects necessary to implement
the e-gov initiative. In lieu of providing the funding to each
individual agency, funding is being provided through the CCE
account to encourage increased oversight on expenditures.
This change only applies to increased requests for funding.
Funding already built into agency budgets to support the
CCE remain within each agency’s budget. Additional funds
in the individual agency budgets will support some CCE investments, 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 (CERCLA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 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.

This account finances the General Services Administration’s
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.
Beginning in 1995, the account included funds for USDA’s
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.

Agricultural estimates.—The Service provides the official
National and State estimates of acreage, yield, and production
of crops, stocks, and value of farm commodities, and numbers
of inventory values of livestock items. Data on approximately
120 crops and 45 livestock products are covered in nearly
400 reports issued each year. Detailed data are also collected
on agricultural chemical use, labor, and expenditures. In addition, the Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years
which provides comprehensive data on the Nation’s agricultural industry down to the county level.
The work under this activity is conducted through 46 field
offices serving the 50 States and Puerto Rico; most of these
offices are operated as joint State and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies provide additional
State and county data. The 2004 program includes funding
related to the restoration and modernization of the Agricultural Estimates program, the continuing development of a
locality based agricultural county estimates/small area estimation program, and e-government data dissemination and
electronic data reporting.
Statistical research and service.—This activity is designed
to improve the statistical methods and related technologies
by improving sample survey designs and procedures and by
testing new forecasting and estimating techniques, such as
the use of remote sensing and geographic information systems.
Census of Agriculture.—The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years. A proposed decrease of $16 million
reflects funding of cyclical activities associated with labeling,
mailing, processing and analysis for the 2002 Census of Agriculture.
Miscellaneous funds received from local organizations, commodity groups, and others are available for dissemination
of reports and for survey work conducted under cooperative
agreements (7 U.S.C. 450b, 450h, 3318b).

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 2004, the Service proposes
increased emphases for critical research needs in agriculture,
such as: biosecurity; emerging and exotic diseases of plants
and animals; sequencing and bioinformatics; and information
technology cyber security. Consistent with the 2003 budget,
the 2004 budget also proposes to eliminate funding for
unrequested Congressional earmarks added in 2001 and 2002,
as well as some less critical base programs. In 2002, the
Service submitted 68 new patent applications, participated
in 61 new Cooperative research and development agreements
(CRADAs), licensed 24 new products, and developed 63 new
plant varieties to release to industry for further development
and marketing.
Research on soil, water, and air sciences.—Research is conducted to improve soil and water management, irrigation,
and conservation practices; to protect natural resources from
harmful effects of soil, air, and water pollutants and to minimize certain agricultural pollution problems; and to determine
the relation of soil types and water to plant, animal, and
human nutrition.
Research on plant science.—Research is conducted to increase plant productivity by improving plant varieties, developing new crop resources, and improving crop production
practices, including methods to control plant diseases, nematodes, insects, and weeds.
Research on animal science.—Research is conducted to increase livestock productivity (including poultry) through improved breeding, feeding, and management practices, and to
develop methods for controlling diseases, parasites, and insect
pests affecting these animals.
Research on commodity conversion and delivery.—Research
is conducted to develop new and improved foods, feeds, products, and processes for agricultural commodities and to improve the processing, transportation, storage, wholesaling,
and retailing of products. Research is also conducted on
means to ensure the safety of food and feed supplies, control
insect pests of man and his belongings, and reduce the hazards to human life resulting from pesticide residues and other
causes.
Human nutrition research.—Research is conducted on subjects such as human nutritional requirements and the composition and nutritive value of foods, to promote optimum
human health through improved nutrition.
Integration of agricultural systems.—Research is conducted
to develop integrated systems for efficiently producing, processing, and marketing agricultural products, and to develop
alternative agricultural systems that are less dependent upon
nonrenewable resources and that are productive, efficient, and
sustainable in the long term.
Agricultural information and library services.—The National Agricultural Library provides a variety of information
products and services through: (1) the administration of a
unique collection of books, journals, and other information
materials about food and agriculture to ensure accessibility
to their contents; (2) the development and maintenance of
cooperative efforts in the library and related information
areas, with other Federal agencies and with educational institutions in each State; and (3) an active program of information dissemination.
Repair and maintenance of facilities.—Funds are used to
restore, upgrade, and maintain Federal facilities to meet
OSHA and EPA requirements, provide suitable workspace for
in-house research programs, and to retrofit existing structures
for better energy utilization.
Collaborative Research Program.—Funds from the U.S.
Agency for International Development (AID), allow USDA to

Note.—2004 estimates include critical issues previously financed from the USDA Cooperative State Research,
Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) Research and Education activities account and Rural Development Centers
previously financed from the USDA CSREES Research and Education activities and Extension activities accounts.

Under the Integrated activities account, research, education
and/or extension grants are awarded for competitive and noncompetitive programs.
Water quality.—This funding will enable CSREES and the
State Agricultural Experiment Stations and the Cooperative
Extension system to become viable partners with other state
and federal agencies in addressing water quality issues of
national importance. Funds will be awarded based upon peer
review of competitive proposals for projects that have components for research and extension.
Food safety.—Funding will support research, education and
extension programs to improve safety of food products and
create a more informed public about food safety issues.
Regional pest management centers.—Funding will provide
management and coordination for USDA and State activities
that support informed regulatory decisions concerning pesticides that significantly benefit U.S. food production without
causing adverse effects on the environment.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Crops at risk from FQPA implementation.—Funding will
support the development of multi-tactic IPM strategies. Grant
opportunities will be available to colleges and universities.
FQPA Risk mitigation program for major food crop systems.—Funds are proposed to support a program to address
risk mitigation that will have a food production system focus,
integrating food safety and water quality considerations as
impacted by FQPA. Emphasis will be placed on development
and implementation of new innovative pest management systems designed to maintain crop productivity and profitability
while meeting or exceeding environmental quality and human
health standards.
Methyl bromide transition program.—This is a grant program designed to support the discovery and implementation
of practical pest management alternatives for commodities
affected by the methyl bromide phase-out in 2005.
Organic transition program.—This program supports the
development and implementation of biologically based pest
management practices that mitigate the ecological, agronomic,
and economic risks associated with the transition from conventional to organic agricultural production systems.
International science and education grants program.—This
program focuses on incorporating substantive international
activities into programs related to food systems, agriculture
and natural resources at U.S. land-grant colleges and universities.
Critical issues program.—Funds are proposed to develop
early intervention strategies to prevent, manage or eradicate
new and emerging diseases, both plant and animal, which
would prevent loss of revenue to growers or producers.
Regional rural development centers.—Funding will support
activities that pursue a holistic development strategy that
tailors programming to meet regional and local needs and
addresses areas of opportunity arising from a consumer-driven agricultural economy.
Homeland security program.—This program provides support to an unified network of public agricultural institutions
to identify and respond to high risk biological pathogens in
the food and agricultural system.

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. The Farm Security and Rural Investment
Act of 2002 authorizes $120 million for 2004. These funds
are available for two years. The 2000 appropriations language
blocked the use of 2000 funds in 2000. However, these funds
were available in 2001. The 2002 appropriations language
blocked the use of 2001 and 2002 funds in 2002. The 2003
budget includes language that would block implementation
of the program during 2003. This action is continued in the
FY 2004 budget.

Note.—In 2004 funding for critical issues and rural development centers 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 and
West Virginia State College.—Funds allocated on a formula
basis support agricultural research and broaden the curricula
at the eighteen 1890 land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee
University and West Virginia State College.
Special research grants.—This program addresses research
areas of national interest. Funding is proposed for grant programs in IR–4 minor crop pest management, pest management alternatives, and sustainable agriculture. Funding is
also proposed for integrated pest management. Advances in
these areas will provide producers with safe, alternative pest
control methods resulting in more farmers increasing the
number of acres on which Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
methods are used. Funding proposed for IR–4 minor crop
pest management and minor use animal drugs will address
the growing need for registration of safe pesticides and drugs
for minor crops and animals and lead to reduced levels of
chemical and drug residues in food products by half. These
pest management programs will be coordinated to address
Food Quality and Protection Act issues. The IR–4 and IPM
programs are contained under improved pest control funding.
Improved pest control also includes Pest Management Alternatives, and Expert IPM Decision Support System Programs.

COOPERATIVE STATE RESEARCH, EDUCATION, AND EXTENSION SERVICE—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

A grant program for global change is proposed for research
at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative.
Funding is also proposed for the National Biological Impact
Assessment Program, and aquaculture centers. The 2004
budget eliminates funding for unrequested earmarks.
National research initiative competitive grants.—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.
Animal health and disease research.—Funds, distributed by
formula, support livestock and poultry disease research in
sixty-seven colleges of veterinary medicine and in eligible agricultural experiment stations.
1994 Institutions Research.—Funding is proposed to continue the competitive research grants program to build the
research capacity at the thirty 1994 institutions by supporting
agricultural research activities that address tribal, national
and multistate priorities.
Federal administration.—A coordinating and review staff
assists in maintaining cooperation within and among the
States, and between the States and their Federal research
partners. This staff also administers research and education
grants and payments to States. Federal administration is
funded from a combination of program set-asides from formula and grant programs and from direct appropriation for
administration.
Higher education.—Funding is proposed for graduate fellowships grants, competitive challenge grants, Hispanic-serving
institutions education grants program, and a multicultural
scholars program. Funding is also proposed for Native American institutions, Alaska Native-serving and Native Hawaiianserving Institutions, and Secondary Agriculture Education
and 2-year Post-secondary programs. Proposed funding for
these higher education programs would support approximately 180 grants. These programs will enable universities
to broaden their curricula; increase faculty development; student research projects; and the number of new scholars recruited in the food and agricultural sciences. In addition, an
increased number of graduate students, including minority
graduate students, will be enrolled in the agricultural
sciences. Funding is also proposed for a capacity building
program at the 1890 institutions as part of the USDA initiative to strengthen these institutions through a broadening
of curricula, increased faculty development and student research projects. Proposed funding would support approximately 43 teaching and research grants. The 2004 budget
includes increases for Graduate fellowship grants and the
1994 Institutions 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 (31 Tribally controlled colleges) to strengthen the
infrastructure of these institutions and develop Indian expertise for the food and agricultural sciences and businesses and

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.
The 2004 budget includes an increase for the endowment
fund.

Note.—In 2004 funding for rural development centers is included in the account for integrated activities.

The Cooperative Extension System, a national educational
network, is a dynamic organization pledged to meeting the
country’s needs for research-based educational programs that
will enable people to make practical decisions to improve their
lives. To accomplish its mission, the Cooperative Extension
System adjusts programs to meet the shifting needs and priorities of the people it serves.
The nonformal educational network combines the expertise
and resources of federal, state, and local partners. The partners in this unique System are: (a) The Cooperative State
Research, Education, and Extension Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; (b) Extension professionals at landgrant universities throughout the United States and its territories; and (c) Extension professionals in nearly all of the
Nation’s 3,150 counties. Thousands of paraprofessionals and
nearly 3 million volunteers support this partnership and magnify its impact. Strong linkages with both public and private
external groups are also crucial to the Cooperative Extension
System’s strength and vitality.
Programs supported with 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. These 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 computer-assisted 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 and
West Virginia State College 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.
In 2004 funding has been requested for: the Expanded Food
and Nutrition Education Program, pest management, children, youth and families at risk, a youth farm safety education and certification pilot project, extension services on

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 develops protocols
for trade and travel to prevent the entry of plant or animal
pests and diseases into the United States and conducts quarantines and treatments of regulated products. APHIS develops and conducts preclearance programs to ensure that agricultural products destined for U.S. ports-of-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. The 2004 budget proposes significant increases to enhance overseas surveillance and eradication efforts and to identify exotic animal
diseases more effectively.
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. The
budget implements a consistent set of cost-share criteria
among Federal and non-Federal partners to respond to a
plant and animal infestation. In addition, the 2004 budget
includes a significant increase to expand surveillance of
chronic wasting disease in captive and free-ranging cervids
and to increase security measures for hazardous materials
used to control wildlife.
Animal care.—The Agency conducts regulatory activities
which ensure the humane care and handling of animals used
in research, exhibition, or the wholesale pet trade. The Agency is also responsible for administering the Horse Protection

Act, which prohibits the showing, selling, or exhibition of
sore horses.
Scientific and technical services.—APHIS develops methods
to control animals and pests that are detrimental to agriculture, other wildlife, and public safety. The agency regulates
genetic research to guard against the release of potentially
harmful organisms into the environment. APHIS also conducts veterinary diagnostic laboratory activities and biologic
regulatory enforcement to ensure that the products developed
for combatting disease are potent, safe, and pure. It also
provides and directs technology development in coordination
with other groups in APHIS and Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) officials to support PPQ programs of the Agency
and its cooperators at the State, national, and international
levels.
The 2004 budget proposes significant increases to continue
enhanced biosecurity efforts and laboratory network activities
implemented with 2002 emergency supplemental funds in response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Funding to support inspections of people, cargo and transport from overseas related to agricultural products and a portion of funds for the Plum Island Animal Disease Center
is included in the budget of the Department of Homeland
Security.

spection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the
Egg Products Inspection Act. Providing adequate resources
for Federal food safety agencies is a priority of the Administration, and the 2004 budget proposes a $41 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: continued improvements toward a science-driven, risk-based food safety
program, and strengthening information technology and education. In addition to the current risk-based food safety pilot
program, FSIS will move beyond the pilot by expanding opportunities to participate in the program to all poultry plants
on a voluntary basis.
Legislation will be proposed to charge user fees to reimburse all inspection beyond a primary 8 hour shift at all
establishments inspected by the Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS). Currently, fees to reimburse the cost of overtime inspection required at some FSIS inspected establishments, but not at others. The Federal government would continue to pay the full costs for a primary, eight hour inspection
shift.

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

An advisory committee consisting of members from the
grain industry exists to advise the Agency regarding efficient
and economical implementation of the USGSA.
The Grain Quality Improvement Act of 1986 was enacted
on November 10, 1986, to improve the quality of U.S. grain
by prohibiting the introduction and reintroduction of dockage
and foreign material to grain.
For 2004, authorizing legislation will be submitted to permit, subject to appropriations, the collection and use of fees
to cover the cost of standardization activities.
The goal of the Packers and Stockyards program is to ensure the integrity of the livestock, meat, and poultry markets
and the marketplace in order to protect producers against
unfair, deceptive, or discriminatory practices as well as those
that are predatory or monopolistic in nature. Consumers and
members of the livestock, poultry, and meat industries are
also protected against unfair business practices in the marketing of livestock, meat and poultry, and from restrictions
on competition which could unduly affect prices. The Agency
also carries out the Secretary’s responsibilities under Section
1324 of the Food Security Act of 1985 covering ‘‘central filing
systems’’ established by States for pre-notification of security
interests against farm products.
Authorizing legislation will be submitted that would establish a license fee that, subject to appropriations, would allow
the collection and expenditure of funds for all costs associated
with administering the Packers and Stockyards Act.

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

MARKETING SERVICES

The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) provides a uniform system for the inspection
and weighing of grain. Services provided under this system
are financed through a fee supported revolving fund. This
authority has been extended through September 2005.
Fee supported programs include direct services, supervision
activities and administrative functions. Direct services include
official grain inspection and weighing by GIPSA employees
at certain export ports as well as the inspection of U.S. grain
shipped through Canada. The Agency supervises the inspection and weighing activities performed by its own employees.
The Agency also oversees the inspection and weighing of grain
performed by employees of 8 delegated States and 51 designated State and private agencies. The Agency provides an
appeal service of original grain inspections and a registration
system for grain exporting firms. Through support from the
Association of American Railroads and user fees, GIPSA conducts a railroad track scale testing program. In addition, the
agency provides grading services, on request, for rice and
grain related products under the authority of the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA).

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

Market protection and promotion.—This program consists
of: (1) the research and promotion programs which are designed to improve the competitive position and expand markets for cotton, eggs and egg products, honey, pork, beef,
dairy products, potatoes, watermelons, mushrooms, soybeans,
fluid milk, popcorn, blueberries, avocado, and peanut; (2) the
Federal Seed Act; and (3) the administration of the CapperVolstead Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act.
The pesticide recordkeeping program monitors compliance
of private certified applicators with Federal regulations requiring them to keep records of restricted pesticides used
in agricultural production.
The pesticide data program develops comprehensive, statistically defensible information on pesticide residues in food
to improve government dietary risk procedures.
Federal seed inspectors conduct tests on seed samples to
help ensure truthful labeling of agricultural and vegetable
seeds sold in interstate commerce.
The Capper-Volstead Act and the Agricultural Fair Practices Act protect producers against discriminatory practices
by handlers, permit producers to engage in cooperative efforts,
and ensure that such cooperatives do not engage in practices
that monopolize or restrain trade.
The national organic program certifies that organically produced food products meet national standards.

TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Funds available under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935
(7 U.S.C. 612c), shall be used only for commodity program expenses
as authorized therein, and other related operating expenses, except
for: (1) transfers to the Department of Commerce as authorized by
the Fish and Wildlife Act of August 8, 1956; (2) transfers otherwise
provided in this Act; and (3) not more than $15,392,000 for formulation and administration of marketing agreements and orders pursuant
to the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 and the Agricultural Act of 1961.

VerDate Dec 13 2002

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 (3) 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.

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.

The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended—under
certain conditions—to issue Federal milk marketing orders
establishing minimum prices which handlers are required to
pay for milk purchased from producers. The Secretary has
reduced the number of milk marketing orders from 31 to
11, consistent with the 1996 Farm Bill authorities.
Market administrators are appointed by the Secretary and
are responsible for carrying out the terms of specific marketing orders. Their operating expenses, partly financed by
assessments on regulated handlers and partly by deductions
from producers, are reported in these schedules. These funds
are collected locally, deposited in local banks, and disbursed
directly by the market administrator.
Expenses of local offices are met from an administrative
fund and a marketing service fund, which are prescribed in
each order. The administrative fund is derived from prorated
handler assessments. The marketing service fund of the individual order disseminates market information to producers
who are not members of a qualified cooperative. It also provides for the verification of the weights, sampling, and testing
of milk from these producers. The cost of these services is
borne by such producers.
The maximum rates for administrative assessment and for
marketing services are set forth in each order and adjustments below these rates are made from time to time upon
recommendations by the market administrator and upon approval of the Agricultural Marketing Service to provide reserves at about a 6-month operating level. Upon termination
of any order, the statute provides for distributing the proceeds
from net assets pro rata to contributing handlers or producers, as the case may be.

This appropriation finances the administrative and operating expenses of the Risk Management Agency (RMA), which
provides crop insurance to farmers.
The Federal government reimburses private insurance companies for certain administrative expenses incurred while delivering the crop insurance program.
Current law provides this through mandatory funding. The
2004 budget includes a proposal that would reduce the reimbursement rate for crop insurance policies from 24.5 to 20
percent through appropriations language to amend the Federal Crop Insurance Act. This proposal would increase efficiency in the delivery of crop insurance.

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.
Commercial insurance companies deliver crop insurance
policies to the producer in all states. For producers who obtain
Catastrophic Crop Insurance (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, the premium
is entirely subsidized. The cost to the producer for this type
of coverage is an annual administrative fee of $100 per crop
per county.
Additional coverage is available to producers who wish to
insure crops above the 50 percent coverage level/55 percent
price level. Policyholders can elect to be paid up to 100 percent of the market price established by FCIC for each unit
of production their actual yield is less than the individual
yield guarantee. Premium rates for additional coverage depend on the level of coverage of protection selected and vary
from crop to crop and county to county. Producers are assessed a fee of $30 per crop, per county, in addition to a
share of premium. The additional levels of insurance coverage
are more attractive to farmers due to availability of optional
units, other policy provisions not available with CAT coverage, and the ability to obtain a level of protection that
permits them to use crop insurance as loan collateral and
to achieve greater financial security.
As mandated by the 1996 Act, revenue insurance programs
are available under which producers of wheat, certain feed
grains, soybeans, rice, and cotton are protected against loss
of revenue stemming from low prices, poor yields, or a combination of both. Two of the revenue insurance plans were
privately developed and submitted to FCIC: Crop Revenue
Coverage (CRC) and Revenue Assurance (RA). The Income
Protection (IP) plan was developed by FCIC. These three
plans have many similar features and some very distinctive
features. All provide a guaranteed revenue by combining coverage on both yield and price variability. CRC and RA also
provide protection against price increases at the time of harvest from an initial price guarantee established near the time
of planting. Indemnities are due when any combination of
yield and price result in revenue that is less than the revenue
guarantee. Revenue protection for all products is provided
by extending traditional multi-peril crop insurance protection,
based on actual production history, to include price variability. The price component common to CRC, RA, and IP
uses the commodity futures market for price discovery. These
programs all seek to help ensure a certain level of annual
income and are offered through private insurance companies.
For 1999, a Group Risk Income Protection plan was developed
by the private sector to provide protection against decline
in county revenue, based on futures market prices and NASS
county average yields, as adjusted by FCIC. FCIC is also

piloting an Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) program, which
is designed to insure a portion of a producers gross revenue
based on their Schedule F Farm and Income Tax reports.
A legislative proposal amending the Federal Crop Insurance
Act is included in the 2004 Budget. It is designed to promote
efficiency in the delivery of crop insurance by eliminating
unnecessary expenditures.
On June 20, 2000, based on the Agricultural Risk Protection
Act of 2000 (ARPA), the Risk Management Agency (RMA)
began improving basic products by implementing higher premium subsidies to make additional coverage more affordable
to producers, making adjustments in actual production history
guarantees to address multiple year disasters, and revising
administrative fees for CAT and additional coverage. On September 17, 2001, RMA published an interim rule in the Federal Register in accordance with ARPA, that allows RMA
to reimburse developers of private crop insurance products
for their research and development costs and maintenance
costs once the FCIC’s Board of Directors (Board) approves
the products. During 2002, RMA awarded over $21 million
in projects, as authorized by ARPA, to accomplish many of
the research and development mandates required by ARPA.
These projects were awarded to public and private entities,
including a pool of contractors in a base research and development contract that was initiated with a period of performance
through September 30, 2002. On November 15, 2001, the
Board approved two livestock pilot programs—Livestock gross
margin and Livestock risk protection—as allowed by ARPA.
The pilot livestock programs cover swine in the State of Iowa
and were made available beginning in 2002.
RMA continues to improve and update the terms and conditions of all crop insurance policies, which better clarifies and
defines the insurance protection provided by the insurance
policies and the duties and responsibilities of the policyholder
and insurance provided.
In crop year 2002, 206.3 million acres were insured, with
an estimated $3,000 million in total premium income, including $1,793 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 2004. Amounts in the 2002 column
are as of September 30, 2002, and pertain to the 2002 crop
year.

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.

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) was established October
3, 1994, pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and
Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, P.L.
103–354. The Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act
of 1994 was amended on April 4, 1996, by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act), P.L.
104–127. The FSA administers a variety of activities, such
as farm income support programs through various loans and
payments; the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); the
Emergency Conservation Program; the Hazardous Waste
Management Program; the Commodity Operation Programs
including the warehouse examination function; farm ownership, farm operating, emergency disaster, and other loan programs; price support and production control programs for tobacco and peanuts; and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), which provides crop loss protection for
growers of many crops for which crop insurance is not available. The Agency also assists in the administration of several
conservation cost-share programs financed by the Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC), including the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). In addition, FSA currently
provides certain administrative support services to the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and to the Risk Management
Agency (RMA).
This consolidated administrative expenses account includes
funds to cover expenses of programs administered by, and
functions assigned to, the Agency. The funds consist of a
direct appropriation, transfers from program loan accounts
under credit reform procedures, user fees, and advances and
reimbursements from other sources. This is a consolidated
account for administrative expenses of national, regional,
State, and county offices.

are set in law, and this hinders further attempts to achieve
additional efficiencies.
This budget proposes changes that will allow the agencies
to operate together more efficiently within the current organizational constraints. These changes will also increase the provision of core customer services, including technical assistance
visits and eligibility determinations, while maintaining or reducing the number of personnel and/or the cost associated
with the provision of the service. Specifically, the Administration proposes that the FSA, Rural Development, and NRCS
field offices seek the following improvements:
• Capitalize on the significant investments made in information technology (IT) and establish a merged structure to
provide IT support to the Service Centers. This will reduce
overlap, duplication of effort, and disjointed systems.
• Restructure the administrative support offices to improve
efficiency of service provision of personnel, travel, payroll,
and procurement.
• Review the field office structure to determine the correct
level of offices necessary to provide services.
• Begin centralizing loan servicing functions that do not
need to be performed at the field level. These functions include mass mailings, general information collection and storage, collecting payments, and sending out statements.
• FSA along with Rural Development will conduct a review
and develop a pilot loan asset sale. The sale will include
a loan mix that results in the greatest budgetary savings
to the Federal government.
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 providing
direct and counter-cyclical payments, 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 providing a financial assistance
safety net to eligible producers when natural disasters result
in a catastrophic loss of production or prevent planting of
noninsured crops, and timely approval of crop prices, average
yields, and payment factors for the Noninsured Crop Disaster
Assistance Program (NAP).
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 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 direct and
counter-cyclical 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

Funding of $14 million for the Tree assistance program
(TAP) was provided by the 1998 Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act, P.L. 105–174, for obligation through September 30, 1998. The 1999 Appropriations Act, P.L. 105–
277, extended the use of unobligated 1998 TAP funds through
September 30, 1999, with any unobligated balance expiring.
TAP provided cost-share payments of up to 100 percent
to orchard and vineyard growers who replanted or rehabilitated orchard trees and vineyards lost to damaging weather,
including freezes, excessive rainfalls, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and earthquakes. Eligible owners could not receive more
than $25,000 per person. No outlays occurred during 2002.
The 1997 TAP expired at the end of 2002, and the 1998
and 1999 TAP will expire at the end of 2003 and 2004, respectively.
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 reauthorized the program, with some modifications. No funding
is requested for 2004.

The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) was originally
mandated by the Food Security Act of 1985. The Federal
Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 and the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 reauthorized
the program 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.
Annual rental payments, cost-share payments, and technical assistance for acres enrolled in the program are paid
through the Commodity Credit Corporation. Just under $2
million in unobligated appropriated funds were available at
the end of 2002; these funds are expected to be exhausted
in 2003 for technical assistance. In providing technical assistance, the Natural Resources Conservation Service determines
eligibility, develops conservation plans, and helps install approved practices. The Forest Service and cooperating State
forestry agencies develop plans for tree planting and assist
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.
CRP program payments are included under the Commodity
Credit Corporation account.

AGRICULTURAL CREDIT INSURANCE FUND PROGRAM 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 2002, there were $6.2 million in unliquidated obligations for ACP agreements.

This program was authorized by the Agricultural Credit
Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2201–05). It provides funds for sharing
the cost of emergency measures to deal with cases of severe
damage to farmlands and rangelands resulting from natural
disasters.
Title VIII of the 2001 Agriculture Appropriations Act, P.L.
106–387, provided $80 million for the Emergency Conservation Program. This funding is available until expended. No
funding was provided in the 2002 Agriculture Appropriations
Act for ECP. However, the program continued to operate from
unobligated funds carried forward from 2001 and recoveries
throughout the fiscal year. Under the 2002 program, costsharing and technical assistance were provided in 44 States
to treat farmlands damaged by floods, drought, ice storms,
tornadoes, and other natural disasters.
The 2004 budget proposes no funding for this program.

The Agricultural credit insurance fund program account’s
loans are authorized by title III of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act, as amended.
This program account includes subsidies to provide direct
and guaranteed loans for farm ownership, farm operating,
and emergency loans to individuals. Indian tribes and tribal
corporations are eligible for Indian land acquisition loans.
Boll weevil eradication loans are available to eliminate the
cotton boll weevil pest from infested areas.
Additional funding was provided by a 2000 supplemental
appropriation, P.L. 106–113, for direct and guaranteed farm
ownership, direct and guaranteed operating, and emergency
disaster loans. Funding is available until expended.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees
committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative expenses of this
program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on
a cash basis.
Under the Dairy indemnity program (DIP), payments are
made to farmers and manufacturers of dairy products who
are directed to remove their milk or milk products from commercial markets because they contain residues of chemicals
that have been registered and approved by the Federal Government, other chemicals, nuclear radiation, or nuclear fallout. Indemnification may also be paid for cows producing
such milk.
In 2002, $124.3 thousand was paid to producers who filed
claims under the program.
The 2004 budget requests $100 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 2003 and 2004 budget
estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2003 and
2004 from the present level; (b) 2003 crop production will
increase from 2002 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2004 are expected to be lower than 2003 levels; (d) yields for the 2003
crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends; and
(e) acreage allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect
for the 2003 crops of certain kinds of tobacco.
It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the
year ending September 30, 2004, 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.
Title II of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act
of 2002, P.L. 107–171, reauthorizes funding for the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) through calendar year 2007. Up
to 39.2 million acres may be enrolled at any one time. CRP
is USDA’s largest conservation/environmental program. The
purpose of CRP, administered by FSA, is to cost-effectively
assist farm owners and operators in conserving and improving
soil, water, air, and wildlife resources by converting highly
erodible and other environmentally sensitive acreage normally
devoted to the production of agricultural commodities to a
long-term resource-conserving cover. CRP participants enroll
contracts for periods from 10 to 15 years in exchange for
annual rental payments and cost-share and technical assistance for installing approved conservation practices.
CRP continuous signup acreage, which contributes to the
USDA Conservation Buffer Initiative and the Conservation
Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), is estimated to enroll
4 million acres. During 2002, about 425,000 acres were signed
up for continuous practices in signup 24. Funding for technical assistance for this signup was authorized in Section
736 of the FY 2002 Agriculture Appropriations Act, which
provided $13 million from funds appropriated for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
The 2001 Appropriations Act authorized the Secretary to
enroll 500,000 acres during 2001 and 2002 for a Farmable
Wetlands Pilot Program and required that the acreage enrolled not reduce the continuous-signup or CREP acreage.
This authorization was expanded in the 2002 Farm Bill to
include 1 million acres and all states.
A one-year contract extension for CRP participants with
contracts of original duration of less than 15 years that were
scheduled to expire September 20, 2002, was assumed. A
general signup is planned for 2003.
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
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 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (the
2002 Farm Bill).
Price support is mandatory for tobacco and dairy products.
Marketing assistance loans are mandatory for wheat, feed
grains, oilseeds, upland cotton, peanuts, and rice. Loans are
also required to be made for sugar, honey, wool, mohair,
extra long staple cotton, and the pulse crops.
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. The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002
(the 2002 Farm Bill) rescinds Production Flexibility Contracts.
Therefore, no PFC payments will be made after fiscal year
2002.
Direct Payments and Counter-Cyclical Payments. The 2002
Farm Bill establishes direct payments and counter-cyclical
payments for May 2002 through 2007. The eligible commodities for both direct payments and counter-cyclical payments
are wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton,
rice, soybeans, other oilseeds, and peanuts.
Direct Payments are payments to producers for which payment yields and base acres are established. The commodity
payment amount is calculated as follows: Payment Amount
= specified rate × payment acres × payment yield. At the
option of the producer, the producer can choose to receive
advance payments (up to 50%) during the producer’s selected
month. The month selected may be any month during the
period beginning on December 1 of the calendar year before
the calendar year in which the crop of the covered commodity
is harvested through the month within which the direct payment would otherwise be made.
Counter-Cyclical Payments are payments to producers for
which payment yields and base acres are established for eligible commodities if it is determined that the effective commodity price is less than the target commodity price. Countercyclical payments will be made for the crop as soon as practicable after the end of the 12-month marketing year for
the eligible commodity. If, before the end of the 12-month

Fmt 3616

marketing year it is determined that counter-cyclical payments will be required for the eligible commodity, producers
will be provided the option to receive partial payment of the
projected counter-cyclical payment.
Marketing assessments. The 1949 Act mandated assessments for tobacco, and the 1996 Act required such assessments for peanuts and sugar. The 2000 Act suspended sugar
marketing assessment collections through 2001. The 2002
Farm Bill did not resume the sugar marketing assessment
collections. Tobacco marketing assessments were authorized
through crop year 1998.
Marketing assistance loans. The 2002 Farm Bill authorized
producers of eligible crops to receive non-recourse marketing
assistance loans from the government for any quantity of
a loan commodity produced on the farm by pledging their
production as loan collateral. This loan shall have a term
of 9 months beginning on the first day of the first month
after the month in which the loan is made. The loan cannot
be extended. As a condition of the receipt of a marketing
assistance loan, the producer shall comply with applicable
conservation requirements under subtitle B of title XII of
the Food Security Act of 1985 and applicable wetland protection requirements under subtitle C of title XII of the Act
during the term of the loan. Producers of eligible commodities
can repay a marketing assistance loan at a rate that is the
lesser of (1) the loan rate established for the commodity plus
interest; or (2) a rate that the Secretary determines. Special
rules apply to upland cotton, rice, and extra long staple cotton. Crops eligible for marketing assistance loans include
wheat, corn, barley, oats, grain sorghum, rice, upland cotton,
soybeans, extra long staple cotton, other oilseeds, dry peas,
lentils, small chickpeas, honey, wool, and mohair.
Peanut price support program. Under the 2002 Farm Bill,
peanuts qualify for direct payments, counter-cyclical payments, marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments for the 2002 through 2007 crops.
The 2002 Farm Bill terminates the marketing quota programs and repeals price support programs. The prior quota
programs will stay in effect for the 2001 crop only, with
quoto buyout compensation payments being made during fiscal years 2002 through 2006. The prior price support programs will remain in effect for the 2002 crop only notwithstanding any other provision of law or crop insurance policy.
The 2002 Farm Bill established marketing assistance loans
for the 2002 through 2007 crops, with the loan rate for peanuts of $355 per ton. The payment rate shall be the amount
by which the established loan rate exceeds the rate at which
a loan may be repaid. The Farm Bill also requires that for
crop years 2002 through 2006 CCC will pay storage, handling,
and other associated costs to ensure proper storage of peanuts
for which a loan is made. This authority terminates beginning
with the 2007 crop.
Tobacco program. The Appropriations Act of 2002 defines
‘‘eligible tobacco’’ as fire-cured tobacco types 22 and 23, dark
air-cured tobacco types 35 and 36, and Virginia sun-cured
tobacco type 37. It also directed the Secretary to use CCC
funds to make payments based on individual tobacco quotas
and allotments. USDA is authorized to provide ongoing support to tobacco producers through price support programs and
the allotment and quota program. Legislative authority for
these activities originated in the Agricultural Act of 1949
and the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, respectively.
These payments will be calculated and the total distributed
with one-third going to the person that owns the qualifying
acres, one-third to the person that controls the qualifying
acres, and one-third to the person that grows, could have
grown or can grow on the qualifying acres. The same standards of payments will be used as set forth in the Agricultural
Risk Protection Act of 2000. No changes to the program were
made under the 2002 Farm Bill.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Sugar program. Sugar qualifies for price support. The 2002
Farm Bill extended the national average sugar loan rates
to cover through the 2007 crops at 18 cents per pound for
raw cane sugar and 22.9 cents per pound for refined beet
sugar. Loans are available to processors of domestically grown
sugarcane and sugar beets for a term of nine months that
does not begin or extend beyond the end/beginning of a fiscal
year. The non-recourse loans are extended through the 2007
crop for processors of domestically produced sugar beets and
sugarcane including for in-process sugar. Loans for in-process
sugar have a loan rate of 80% of the loan rate for raw cane
sugar or refined beet sugar (based on the source material
used). If forfeitures occur, the processor shall convert the
in-process into final product at no cost to the CCC. Upon
transfer, the processor will receive payment based on the
loan rate less 80% of raw cane or refined beet sugar rate
times the quantity of sugar transferred. The loan program
is assumed to continue through the 2012 crop. The 2002 Farm
Bill did not resume the sugar marketing assessment collections but authorized marketing allotments. The 2002 Act provides assistance for sugar donations in the amount of 10,000
tons to compensate sugar producers who suffer losses incurred
beyond existing CCC administered programs.
Dairy program. Dairy qualifies for milk price supports, recourse loans, and dairy market loss payments. The 2002 Act
extended the Dairy Price Support Program from January 1,
2002 to May 31, 2002. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the
Dairy Price Support Program from June 1, 2002 through December 31, 2007 at a rate of $9.90 per hundredweight for
milk containing 3.67% butterfat. The support program is carried out through the purchase of butter, nonfat dry milk,
and cheese at prices that enable processors to pay dairy farmers, on average, the support price for milk. As under previous
law, the Secretary may allocate the rate of price support
between the purchase prices for nonfat dry milk and butter
in a manner that minimizes CCC expenditures or other objectives, as the Secretary considers appropriate. Cash CCC inventory sales (with some exceptions) shall be at any price
that the Secretary determines will maximize CCC returns.
The 2002 Farm Bill repealed all legislative authority for the
Dairy Recourse Loan Program but established a new Milk
Income Loss Contract Program, under which the Secretary
may contract with eligible producers up to September 30,
2005, to make monthly payments when milk prices fall below
specified levels.
Market loss assistance payments. The 2002 Appropriations
Act provided $75 million to apple producers for market loss
assistance. The 2002 Farm Bill provided $94 million in additional assistance, increasing apple market loss assistance to
$169 million. The 2002 Farm Bill also provided a $10 million
grant to the state of New York for market loss assistance
to onion producers who suffered losses to onion crops during
1 or more of the 1996 through 2000 crop years.
Payment Limitations. In general, the 2002 Farm Bill revised the Food Security Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 1308) for payment limitations. The total amount of direct payments made
to a person during any crop year for 1 or more covered commodities may not exceed $40,000. The total amount of
counter-cyclical payments made to a person during any crop
year for 1 or more covered commodities may not exceed
$65,000. Separate limits apply to direct and counter-cyclical
payments for peanuts. The total amount of gains and payments that a person may receive during any crop year under
marketing assistance loan and loan deficiency payment provisions may not exceed $75,000. Notwithstanding any other
provision of law, an individual or entity shall not be eligible
to receive any benefit described above if the average adjusted
annual gross income of the individual or entity exceeds
$2,500,000, unless not less than 75 percent of the average
adjusted gross income of the individual or entity is derived

from farming, ranching, or forestry operations, as determined
by the Secretary. This shall apply during the 2003 through
2007 crop years.
Noninsured Assistance Program. The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 eliminated the area loss requirement for
triggers and made other changes. It also included a provision
that all types or varieties of a crop or commodity may be
considered to be a single eligible crop for NAP assistance.
Bioenergy Program. The 2004 President’s Budget assumes
CCC will continue to make incentive payments, under the
Bioenergy Program, to ethanol, biodiesel, and other bioenergy
producers to expand production of bio-based fuels. Payments
shall be made on a portion of the increase in agricultural
commodities purchased for expanded bioenergy production,
with smaller and cooperatively-owned facilities receiving higher payment rates. This program is authorized by the CCC
Charter Act. The 2002 Farm Bill extends the program
through FY 2006 at the program level of $150 million per
year. The budget assumes a reduction in funding to $100
million.
Foreign Market Development and Food Assistance Programs.
Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP). DEIP provides cash
bonus payments to exporters to facilitate commercial sales
of U.S. dairy products in overseas markets. Estimates of the
quantity of dairy products to be exported under DEIP and
associated expenditures were formulated within the maximum
allowable expenditure and quantity levels specified in conjunction with provisions of the Uruguay Round Agreement.
Consequently, current baseline projections assume that DEIP
will not exceed $116.6 million annually during FYs 2002–
2012. Actual DEIP subsidies are further limited on a productby-product basis under the Uruguay Round.
Export Enhancement Program (EEP). Current baseline projections assume an EEP annual program level for FYs 2003–
2013 will be $28 million. However, the 2002 Farm Bill authorizes funding up to $478 annually for EEP through 2007,
which will be available for EEP programming should market
conditions warrant. Actual subsidies for EEP are further limited on a product-by-product basis under the Uruguay Round.
Market Access Program (MAP). Under the MAP, CCC Funds
are used to reimburse participating organizations for a portion of the costs of carrying out overseas marketing and promotional activities. The 2002 Farm Bill continued the authority for the MAP program and increased the funding as follows:
$100 million for FY 2002, $110 million for FY 2003, $125
million for FY 2004, $140 million for FY 2005, and $200
million for FY 2006 and 2007.
Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMD)
and Quality Samples Program. Under the FMD program,
cost-share assistance is provided to nonprofit commodity and
agricultural trade associations to support overseas market development activities that are designed to remove long-term
impediments to increased U.S. trade. The 2002 Farm Bill
increased the available funds for this program to $34.5 million
for each of fiscal years 2002 through 2007.
CCC will fund 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.
Global Food for Education Initiative (GFEI). During 2001
and 2002, Section 416(b) authority was used to support the
GFEI. Under the initiative commodities were provided to support school-feeding programs in developing countries with the
objectives of reducing hunger, improving health, and promoting school enrollment, attendance, and performance. The
2002 Farm Bill authorized a successor program, the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. The 2002 Farm Bill authorizes $100 million

in CCC funding to carry out the new program in FY 2003
and authorizes appropriated funding in subsequent years. The
budget proposes $50 million for the program in 2004 in a
new account under the Foreign Agricultural Service.
Commodity Donations. The 2002 Farm Bill authorizes the
donation of surplus commodity inventory to domestic nutrition
programs. 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
$40 million of the funds of the Corporation (exclusive of the
costs of commodities) may be used for each fiscal year. Commodities that are acquired by CCC in the normal course of
its domestic support operations will be available for donation.
The current CCC inventory has nonfat dry milk available
for donation.
The Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust. The Bill Emerson
Humanitarian Trust (BEHT) is a commodity reserve that was
established to ensure that the United States can meet its
international food aid commitments. Commodities authorized
for the 4-million-ton reserve include wheat, corn, grain sorghum, and rice. The Secretary is authorized to release up
to 500,000 metric tons for urgent humanitarian relief in disasters in the case of unanticipated need and to release an additional 500,000 metric tons of eligible commodities that could
have been released but were not released in previous years.
The Secretary is authorized to release eligible commodities
from the reserve when supplies are so limited that eligible
commodities cannot be made available for programming under
P.L. 480. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the authorization to
replenish the BEHT through FY 2007. CCC is authorized
to hold funds as well as commodities in the reserve.
Agricultural management assistance program.—The 2002
Farm Bill authorized the use of CCC funding of $20 million
for each fiscal year 2003 through 2007, and $10 million for
subsequent years to provide grants to qualified public and
private entities for the purpose of educating agricultural producers about the full range of risk management activities,
including futures, options, agricultural trade options, crop insurance, cash forward contracting, debt reduction, production
diversification, farm resources risk reduction, and other risk
management strategies. The Secretary delegated authority to
Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management
Agency, and the Agricultural Marketing Service.
Conservation programs.—Title II of the Farm Security and
Rural Investment Act of 2002, P.L. 107–171, authorizes funding for new and existing conservation programs implemented
by the Farm Service Agency or the Natural Resources Conservation Service and funded through the Commodity Credit
Corporation. The bill provides $7 billion through 2007 to help
farmers adopt and maintain conservation systems that protect
water quality, reduce soil erosion, protect and enhance wildlife habitat and wetlands, conserve water, and sequester carbon.
The financial assistance for conservation programs where
the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is the
lead agency, is transferred from CCC to NRCS’s Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs account (see the NRCS
section). Specifically, these programs include the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), Wetlands Reserve
Program (WRP), Wildlife Habitat Incentives program, Farmland Protection Program, Conservation Security Program, and
Grasslands Reserve Program.

The Environmental Conservation Acreage Reserve Program
(ECARP) has been renamed Comprehensive Conservation Enhancement Program (CCEP). Authority for Conservation Priority Areas is eliminated in the EQIP but retained in the
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).
The 2002 Farm Bill authorized EQIP funding at $6.1 billion
over 6 years with $400 million in 2002 and increasing to
$1.3 billion in 2007. The program provides assistance to eligible farmers and ranchers to address soil, water, air, and
related natural resource concerns on their lands, in an environmentally beneficial and cost-effective manner. Livestockrelated conservation practices will receive 60 percent of the
program funding. The 2002 EQIP program was funded at
$400 million with the 2002 appropriations act authorizing
use of $13 million for CRP technical assistance. This reduced
the base EQIP program to $387 million for 2002.
An additional $25 million of EQIP funds was authorized
in 2002 for the Ground and Surface Water Conservation Program (GSWC). GSWC funds in 2002 were targeted to states
in the High Plains Aquifer to address this region’s declining
ground and surface water. A new water savings must be
achieved on agricultural operations receiving funding. In
2003, GSWC funding is authorized at $45 million and for
2004 through 2007; the authorization is $60 million per year.
The Klamath Basin of Oregon and California has been authorized for $50 million over the life of the 2002 Farm Bill.
In 2002, the Klamath Basin EQIP funding was $2.5 million.
The program is designed to promote the installation of water
conservation practices on agricultural lands to improve the
quantity and quality of water in the Klamath Basin.
The WRP is authorized under Section 1237 of the Food
Security Act of 1985, as amended. The 2002 Farm Bill reauthorized WRP, providing the Secretary the authority to
enroll, to the extent practical, 250,000 acres annually, through
2007 with CCC funding. The program offers landowners an
opportunity to voluntarily restore and protect wetlands, and
associated lands, through long-term agreements, 30-year easements, or perpetual easements on marginal and high-risk agricultural lands. The Farm Security and Rural Investment
Act of 2002 (FY 2002 Farm Bill) raised the total statutory
acreage enrollment from 1,075,000 to 2,275,000. The total
acreage enrollment at the end of 2002 was 1,274,000 acres.
The 2002 Farm Bill also authorized the use of $275 million
of CCC funds for implementation of the watershed rehabilitation provisions of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Program (PL 83–566). The authorized annual CCC funding amounts start at $45 million in 2003 and increase $5
million each year to $65 million in 2007. The 2003 and 2004
budgets, however, do not fund the Small Watershed Rehabilitation Program with CCC funds. Instead, the 2004 budget
requests $10 million from discretionary appropriations to fund
this program. No funding for the Small Watershed Rehabilitation Program was requested in the 2003 budget.
Section 14 of PL 83–566 authorizes the Secretary to provide
technical and financial assistance to project sponsors to rehabilitate aging dams that were originally constructed under
the following USDA water resource programs: Flood Control
Act of 1944 (PL 78–534), Watershed Protection and Flood
Protection Act of 1954 (PL 83–566), Pilot Watershed Program
(1953–54), and the Resource Conservation and Development
Program (RC&D). Federal funds are limited to 65% of the
total rehabilitation project cost. A priority ranking system
identifies sponsor applications that address dams that pose
the greatest threat to public health and safety. Dams will
be rehabilitated to extend the life of the dams and meet
all safety and performance standards.
The Farmland Protection Program (FPP) is a voluntary program that helps farmers and ranchers keep their land in
agriculture. The program provides matching funds to State,
Tribal, or local governments or non-governmental organizaSfmt 3616

tions with existing farmland protection programs. USDA
works with State, Tribal, or local governments or non-governmental organizations to acquire conservation easements from
landowners. Participating landowners choose to keep their
land in agriculture and agree not to convert the land to agricultural uses. Landowners retain all rights to use the property for agriculture. Through 2001, more than 108,000 acres
have been protected in 28 states. The 2002 Farm Bill authorized $597 million of CCC funds for FPP. Between 2002 and
2007, it is estimated that these funds will protect an additional 1.2 million acres from conversion to non-agricultural
uses.
Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is a voluntary
program that provides technical and financial assistance to
landowners to develop habitat for fish, upland and wetland
wildlife, threatened and endangered species, and other types
of wildlife. Program expenditures on habitat improvement
projects through 2001 totaled $62.5 million. The 2002 Farm
Bill extended the program through 2007 and authorized an
additional $360 million for WHIP. Of this total, $15 million
were utilized during 2002 bringing the total program enrollment to 12,500 contracts covering almost two million acres.
The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized
CCC funding of $10 million for 2001 and subsequent years
for the Agricultural Management Assistance Program
(AMAP). AMAP provides cost-share assistance to producers
in not less than 10, nor more than 15, States in which the
Federal Crop Insurance Program is historically low as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. The 2002 Farm Bill
increased CCC funding to $20 million annually. The Secretary
delegated authority to Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency, and the Agricultural Marketing Service.
The 2002 Farm Bill authorized the Conservation Security
Program (CSP) to provide payments to producers for using
conservation systems that address a wide range of priority
resource concerns. CSP will focus on land-based conservation
practices, and specifically excludes livestock waste handling
facilities. Producers can participate at one of three tiers; higher tiers require greater conservation efforts. Participants must
use the most cost-effective practices that meet USDA’s conservation standards. The 2004 budget proposes to legislatively
limit the total amount CSP can spend over ten years (from
FY 2003 through FY 2011) to $2 billion.
The CRP is authorized in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands, on all highly erodible cropland, other environmentally sensitive cropland, and certain marginal
pastureland meeting the eligibility criteria. In addition to
cropland in areas adjacent to lakes and streams that can
be devoted to filter strips, and cropland subject to overflow
and suffering from scour erosion, eligible land may include
cropland contributing to water quality problems, and other
lands posing environmental threats. Also eligible for the CRP
are water quality or wildlife habitat impaired areas that do
not meet the highly erodible land (HEL) criteria, such as
the Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, and Long Island Sound
watershed regions.

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 exSfmt 3616

penses include inspection, classing, and grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or Federal- or
State-licensed inspectors; and special services performed by
Federal agencies within and outside this Department. Most
of these general expenses, including storage and handling,
transportation, inspection, classing and grading, and producer
storage payments, are included in program costs. They are
shown in the program and financing schedule in the entries
entitled ‘‘Storage, transportation, and other obligations not
included above,’’ and ‘‘Producer storage payments.’’
Section 161 of the 1996 Act amended the CCC Charter
Act to significantly limit the use of CCC funds. CCC no longer
has authority to purchase personal property except within
authorized limitations. CCC spending for equipment or services relating to automated data processing (ADP), information
technologies, or related items (including telecommunications
equipment and computer hardware and software, but excluding reimbursable agreements) was limited to $170 million
in 1996, and $275 million for the six-year period including
1997 through 2002, unless additional amounts for such contracts and agreements are provided in advance in appropriation acts. The 1996 Act also requires that CCC submit an
itemized report to Congress on a quarterly basis of all expenditures, excluding program payments, of over $10,000. Subsequent legislation reduced allowable ADP expenditures
through 2002 to $188 million. CCC carried only $88,000 of
the remaining ADP cap into fiscal year 2003.
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 allotments and
transfers in fiscal year 1995. The obligations for these Section
11 activities in 1995 were $46 million. The 1995 cap was
revised to $36.209 million effective 1999 to exclude the
Emerging Markets Program because such transfers are not
made pursuant to Section 11 of the CCC Charter Act. In
2001, the Section 11 cap was increased to $56 million to
include FSA loan service fees and the cap remains at $56
million in fiscal year 2003.
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. The Corporation receives reimbursement for
the commodity costs and other costs, including administrative
costs, for commodities supplied to domestic nutrition programs and international food aid programs.
FINANCING

Borrowing authority.—The Corporation has an authorized
capital stock of $100 million held by the U.S. Treasury and,
effective in 1988, authority to have outstanding borrowings
up to $30 billion at any one time.
Funds are borrowed from the Treasury and may also be
borrowed from private lending agencies and others. The Corporation reserves a sufficient amount of its borrowing authority to purchase at any time all notes and other obligations
evidencing loans made to the Corporation by such agencies
and others. All bonds, notes, debentures, and similar obligations issued by the Corporation are subject to approval by
the Secretary of the Treasury as required by the Act of March
8, 1938.

Interest on borrowings from the Treasury (and on capital
stock) is paid at a rate based upon the average interest rate
of all outstanding marketable obligations (of comparable maturity date) of the United States as of the preceding month.
Interest is also paid on other notes and obligations at a rate
prescribed by the Corporation and approved by the Secretary
of the Treasury.
The Department of Agriculture and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1966, made provision for terminating interest
after June 30, 1964 on the portion of the Corporation’s borrowings from the Treasury equal to the unreimbursed realized
losses recorded on the books of the Corporation after the
end of the fiscal year in which such losses are realized.

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.
Deficit.—The net realized losses of the Corporation have

This is the program account for the GSM–102 and GSM–
103 CCC Export Credit Guarantee Programs. The Export
Credit Guarantee Program (GSM–102) covers credit terms
of up to 3 years. The Intermediate Export Credit Guarantee
Program (GSM–103) covers longer credit terms of between
3 and 10 years. Under these programs, CCC does not provide
financing, but guarantees payments due from foreign banks
and buyers. Because payment is guaranteed, financial institutions in the United States can offer competitive credit terms
to foreign banks, usually with interest rates based on the
London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). If the foreign bank
fails to make any payment as agreed, the exporter or assignee
must submit a notice of default to the CCC. A claim for
loss must be filed, and the CCC will promptly pay claims
found to be in good order. CCC usually guarantees 98 percent
of the principal payment due and interest based on a percentage of the one-year Treasury rate.
A portion of the guarantees made available under the
GSM–102 program is provided as Supplier Credit Guarantees.
Under this activity, CCC guarantees a portion of payment
due from importers under short-term financing (for up to
180 days) that exporters have extended directly to the importers for the purchase of U.S. agricultural commodities and
products. CCC does not provide financing, but guarantees
payment due from an importer. A substantially smaller portion of the value of exports (currently 60 percent) is guaranteed under Supplier Credit Guarantees than under regular
GSM–102 guarantees where CCC is guaranteeing foreign
bank obligations.
A portion of the GSM–102 guarantees is also made available as Facilities Guarantees. Under this activity, CCC guarantees export financing for capital goods and services to imVerDate Dec 13 2002

prove 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 2004
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.

Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) Program. 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. The program was discontinued in the
early 1980’s when studies showed sufficient storage space
was available. The FSFL was re-established in 2000 due to
a severe shortage of sufficient available storage. The program
was implemented in 2000 by CCC under Section 504(c) of
the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. The program provides
producers financing with five- to ten-year repayment terms
and low interest rates. The program gives producers greater
marketing flexibility when farm storage is limited and/or
transportation difficulties cause storage problems, allows
farmers to benefit from new marketing and technological advances, and maximizes their returns through identity-preserved marketing.
Sugar Storage Facility Loans. The 2002 Farm Bill directs
that the CCC establish a sugar storage facility loan program
to provide financing for processors of domestically produced
sugarcane and sugar beets to construct or upgrade storage
and handling facilities for raw sugars and refined sugars.
The loan term would be for a minimum of 7 years with
the amount and terms being determined as any other commercial loan.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records the subsidy costs associated with the

The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized
up to $5 million for the cost to provide loans to producers
of apples for economic losses as the result of low prices for
apples. Although the program is funded through CCC, program management is performed through farm loan programs.
No funding was provided for this program in 2002 or 2003,
and none is requested for 2004.
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.

Inventory and monitoring, resource appraisal, and program
development activities are also funded through this account.
Resource inventories are conducted to provide soil, water, and
related resource data for evaluating land-use changes and
trends; and for guidance in the development and implementation of Federal, State, and local resource conservation programs. The 2004 budget requests an increase of $10 million
to enhance NRCS’s monitoring and evaluation capabilities to
track and report on the effectiveness of conservation programs
authorized by the 2002 Farm Bill. Resource appraisal and
program development provides periodic reports to the public
and Congress as required by the Soil and Water Resources
Conservation Act of 1977 as amended.
Soil surveys.—Soil surveys and investigations are made on
the soil resources of the Nation’s private lands. NRCS provides this information as electronic and printed publications
for use by the American public and other Federal, State and
local agencies in making land-use decisions. NRCS uses the
information for program development, resource conservation
planning, and installation of planned practices. NRCS provides national leadership for the National Cooperative Soil
Survey and digitizing of soil surveys in cooperation with
States, and other users of soil survey data. Legislation requires that the Secretary shall make a reasonable effort to
assure that ‘‘a substantial portion of the survey costs for
NRCS are to be reimbursed by survey recipients.’’

Snow survey water forecasting.—Water supply forecasts prepared from snow surveys in western states are used in making efficient seasonal use of water for irrigation, flood control,
fish and wildlife, recreation, power generation, municipal and
industrial water supply, and water quality management.
Operation of plant materials centers.—The selection and
evaluation of plant materials are made at 26 plant materials
centers through field trials to determine their suitability for
erosion control, conservation, and other environmental improvements. Native plant species will be preferred and exotic
species introductions phased out for this program.

Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

Under the authorities of Public Law 83–566, watershed
planning assistance is provided to States and communities
to address specific resource problems on a watershed scale.
The funds are used to cooperate with other agencies and
the States in providing local decision makers with resource
data, derived from cooperative river basin surveys and floodplain management studies, for use in decision making. Watershed plans are used to develop the small watershed projects.
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 over $8.5 billion to develop a watershed infrastructure through the Small Watershed program. The investment yields annual benefits estimated at $800 million.

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. In order to improve the environmental and economic benefits of these projects, NRCS intends to focus on
developing and funding non-structural flood prevention measures.
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 the extent financial resources are available, funding provided for the small watershed operations
account can be used to meet these types of emergency needs
should they occur in 2004.
To improve the delivery and defensibility of the program,
NRCS published a draft programmatic environmental impact
statement (EIS) for public review and comment to assess various program alternatives. Through the EIS public feedback
and information gathering process, NRCS ultimately will be
able to make the program more beneficial to communities
and the environment. NRCS will also consider these EIS comments in making any necessary revisions to its regulations.
Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 534.—The
Department cooperates with soil conservation districts and
other local organizations in planning and installing flood prevention improvements in 11 watersheds authorized by the
Flood Control Act of 1944. The Federal Government shares
the cost of improvements for flood prevention, agricultural
water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife development.
Given the program’s low economic returns and environmental benefits, no funding is proposed for 2004.
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. At least 50

percent of the funding provided will be used for financial
assistance.
Funding provided to the Watershed Surveys and Planning
program will be used to address one of the most critical strategic objectives of the NRCS Government Performance and
Results Act (GPRA) Strategic Plan: ‘‘Restoring healthy watersheds, providing clean and abundant water supplies for people
and environment.’’ Program activities reflect high priority natural resource concerns such as: agriculture-induced water
quality impacts, wetlands restoration, and flood damage risk
reduction.
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 2004.

The Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program began in February 1964 under authority of Section 102
of the Food and Agricultural Act of 1962 (P.L. 87–703) and
other Departmental authorities. Sections 1528–1538 of the
Agricultural and Food Act of 1981 have replaced these authorities. This act authorized a program to encourage and
improve the capability of State and local units of government
and local nonprofit organizations in rural areas to plan, develop, and implement programs for resource conservation and
development. Through the establishment of RC&D areas, led
by a council, the program establishes or improves coordination
systems in rural communities and builds rural community
leadership skills to effectively utilize Federal, State and local
programs for the communities’ benefit. The Farm Security
and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–171) permanently
reauthorized RC&D.
Designated RC&D areas are provided technical assistance
to help States and local units of government prepare plans

for resource development and economic improvement and to

be used to help carry out projects specified in RC&D area

coordinators who assist the local area councils. These coordinators help the area councils develop plans and proposals
to compete for financial assistance from other Federal, State
and private sources.

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

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 (FAIR 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 Incentives Program (EQIP). The FAIR Act
also repealed CRBSC authority, while maintaining program
account balances until expended.
Beginning in 1996, EQIP was implemented on an interim
program level for CRBSC. Program funding provided costshare assistance to landowners and others in the Colorado
River Basin States to include: Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.
The program’s main objective is to enhance the supply and
quality of water in the Colorado River for delivery to downstream users in the U.S. and Mexico.

No funds are proposed for the Forestry Incentives Program
(FIP). The FIP was not reauthorized by the Farm Security
and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–171). Prior-year
account balances are maintained in this account until expended.
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 the Forest Service.

The objectives of the Water Bank Program are to conserve
water; preserve, maintain, and improve the Nation’s wetlands;
increase waterfowl habitat in migratory waterfowl nesting,
breeding, and feeding areas in the United States; and secure
recreational and environmental benefits for the Nation. The
program was authorized by the Water Bank Act of 1970,
as amended by Public Law 96–182, approved January 2, 1980.
Funding for the expiring 1985 Water Bank agreements were
transferred from the Wetlands Reserve Program 1995 appropriation to this account as authorized under the Water Bank
Extension Act of 1994. For 2004, the budget does not request
program funding.

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), the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration,
and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 2001 (P.L. 106–387),
and the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002
(P.L. 107–171). WRP is a mandatory Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) program administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). However, the Farm

WILDLIFE HABITAT INCENTIVES PROGRAM
Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

Identification code 12–3322–0–1–302

2003 est.

WHIP is a voluntary program that provides assistance to
eligible participants to develop upland wildlife, wetland wildlife, threatened and endangered species, fish and other types
of wildlife habitat in an environmentally beneficial and cost
effective manner. The purpose of the program is to create
high-quality wildlife habitats that support wildlife populations
of local, state, and national significance.
WHIP supports the USDA strategic plan goal to maintain
and enhance the nation’s natural resources and the environment. Although the primary purpose of the program is wildlife habitat development and enhancement, the benefits are
not limited to wildlife. The practices are often compatible
with and beneficial to farming and ranching enterprises.
Some practices enhance farm profitability by improving grazing conditions, reducing management expenses, and by producing non-crop income from the lease of rights to harvest
and observe wild game and fish. The program has been utilized to control invasive species, re-establish native vegetation, manage non-industrial forestland, stabilize stream
banks, protect, develop or enhance unique habitats, and remove barriers that impede migration of certain species.
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 state NRCS offices
based on state wildlife habitat priorities. 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.
The 2002 farm bill reauthorized WHIP through 2007. Funding for WHIP is now provided through NRCS’s Farm Security
and Rural Investment Account. Information displayed in this
section represents unobligated balances remaining from the
1996 farm bill.

Personnel Summary

Since 2001, Rural Development has had a consolidated Salaries and Expenses account to administer all Rural Development programs, including programs administered by the
Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the Rural Housing Service
(RHS), and the Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS).
RUS provides grants, direct loans and loan guarantees to
suppliers of electric, telecommunications (for general purpose
and for distance learning/telemedicine), and water and wastewater services in rural areas. Through the water and wastewater program, RUS also provides technical assistance. The
programs are administered in Washington, DC. The Rural
Development field office staff performs the services related
to the water and wastewater grant and loan programs. For
the electric and telecommunication loans, general field representatives visit borrowers periodically and maintain liaisons
between the borrowers and headquarters.
RHS was formed from the Rural Housing section of the
Farmers Home Administration and the Community Facilities
Division of the Rural Development Administration. RHS delivers rural housing and community facility programs through
a system of State, area, and local offices.
RBS includes programs from the former Rural Development
Administration, rural development programs form the former
Rural Electrification Administration, and the Agricultural Cooperative Service. This agency delivers loan and grant programs, as well as technical assistance, to cooperatives and
rural businesses.
In 2004, Rural Development along with the Farm Service
Agency will conduct a review and develop a pilot loan asset
sale. The sale should include both performing and non-performing loans with a loan mix that results in the greatest
budgetary savings for the Federal government. Although the
exact mix of loans has not been determined, a placeholder
has been included in the 2004 Budget to reflect the sale.

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 loan and grant programs under RCAP provides
greater flexibility to tailor financial assistance to applicant
needs. Funding in 2004 for all programs is projected to be
at or slightly above the 2003 enacted level except for water
and waste disposal grants and business and industry guaranteed loans.
RCAP is composed of the following three funding streams:
Rural Community Facilities, Rural Utilities, and Rural Business and Cooperative Development. Funds for Native American Communities are provided as part of the whole amount
appropriated for these streams as part of the Native Americans Initiative. The funds are allocated to all two of the
funding streams.
Water and waste disposal loans are authorized under 7
U.S.C. 1926. The program provides direct loans to municipalities, counties, special purpose districts, certain Indian Tribes,
and non-profit corporations to develop water and waste disposal systems in rural areas and towns with populations of
less than 10,000. The program also guarantees water and
waste disposal loans made by banks and other eligible lenders. Total loan level is projected to be $820 million for these
programs in 2004.
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. $346
million is projected for this program in 2004.
Emergency community water assistance grants are authorized under Section 306A of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended. Grants are made to public
bodies and nonprofit organizations for construction or extension of water lines, repair or maintenance of existing systems,
replacement of equipment, and payment of costs to correct
emergency situations. These grants are funded on an as needed basis using RCAP flexibility of funds authorization.
Solid waste management grants are authorized under Section 310B(b) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are made to non-profit organizations to provide regional technical assistance to local and
regional governments and related agencies for the purpose
of reducing or eliminating pollution of water resources, and
for improving the planning and management of solid waste

disposal facilities. $4 million is projected for this program
in 2004.
Community facility loans and grants are authorized under
sections 306(a)(1) and 306(a)(19) of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development Act, as amended. Loans are provided
to local governments and nonprofit organizations for the construction and improvement of community facilities providing
essential services in rural areas of not more than 20,000
population, such as hospitals and fire stations. Total program
level in 2004 is projected to be $477 million.
Business and industry guaranteed and direct loans are authorized under section 310B(a)(1) of the Consolidated Farm
and Rural Development, as amended. These loans are made
to public, private or cooperative organizations, Indian tribes
or tribal groups, corporate entities, or individuals for the purpose of improving the economic climate in rural areas. For
direct loans no funds were requested or provided in 2002
and 2003 and no funds are requested in 2004. $606 million
in loan guarantees are projected for 2004.
Rural business enterprise grants are authorized under sections 310B(c) and 310B(f) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act, as amended. These grants enable public
and nonprofit organizations to operate rural economic development projects. In general, these grants provide investments
in the human and physical resources of rural communities.
Past projects have enabled rural communities to acquire and
develop land, create technical assistance programs, encourage
small business growth and create new jobs.
Rural Business Opportunity Grants are authorized under
section 306(a)(11)(A) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. These grants enable public bodies
and private nonprofit organizations to provide for technical
assistance, training, and planning activities that improve economic conditions in rural area. $3 million is projected for
this purpose.

The rural housing for domestic farm labor grant program
is authorized under section 516 of the Housing Act of 1949,
as amended. This program is funded under this heading until
2001. Starting in 2001, it is funded under the Farm Labor
Program Account.
The very low-income housing repair grant program is authorized under section 504 of the Housing Act of 1949, as
amended. This grant program enables very low-income elderly
residents in rural areas to improve or modernize their dwellings, to make the dwelling safer or more sanitary, or to remove health and safety hazards. The Budget provides $32
million for this program in 2004.
The supervisory and technical assistance grant program is
carried out under the provisions of section 509(f) and 525
of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. Under section 509,
grants are made to public and private nonprofit organizations
for packaging loan applications for housing under sections
502, 504, 514/516, 515, and 533 of the Housing Act of 1949,
as amended. The assistance is to be directed to underserved
areas where at least 20 percent or more of the population
is at or below the poverty level, and at least 10 percent
or more of the population resides in substandard housing.
Under section 525, grants are made to public and private
nonprofit organizations and other associations for the developing, conducting, administering or coordinating of technical
and supervisory assistance programs to demonstrate the benefits of Federal, State, and local housing programs for lowincome families in rural areas. No new funds are provided
for this program in 2004.
The compensation for construction defects program is carried out under the provisions of section 509(c) of the Housing
Act of 1949, as amended. The Secretary of Agriculture is
authorized to make expenditures to correct structural defects,
or to pay claims of owners arising from such defects on newly
constructed dwellings purchased with RHS financial assistance. Requests for compensation for construction defects must
be made within 18 months after the date financial assistance
was granted. Because current demand for these funds does
not exceed current resources available, no new funds are provided for this program.

RURAL HOUSING INSURANCE FUND PROGRAM ACCOUNT
(INCLUDING

TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

For gross obligations for the principal amount of direct and guaranteed loans as authorized by title V of the Housing Act of 1949, to
be available from funds in the rural housing insurance fund, as follows: $4,091,634,000 for loans to section 502 borrowers, as determined
by the Secretary, of which not more than $2,725,172,000 shall be
for unsubsidized guaranteed loans; $35,003,000 for section 504 housing repair loans; $70,830,000 for section 515 rental housing;
$100,000,000 for section 538 guaranteed multi-family housing loans;
$5,045,000 for section 524 site loans; $11,500,000 for credit sales
of acquired property, of which up to $1,500,000 may be for multifamily credit sales; and $5,000,000 for section 523 self-help housing
land development loans.
For the cost of direct and guaranteed loans, including the cost
of modifying loans, as defined in section 502 of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974, as follows: section 502 loans, $165,921,000, of
which not more than $39,903,000 shall be for unsubsidized guaranteed loans; section 504 housing repair loans, $9,612,000; repair and
rehabilitation of section 515 rental housing, $30,464,000, section 538
multi-family housing guaranteed loans, $5,950,000; multi-family credit sales of acquired property, $663,000; and section 523 self-help housing land development loans, $154,000: Provided, That of the total
amount appropriated in this paragraph, $7,100,000 shall be available
through June 30, 2004, for authorized empowerment zones and enterprise communities and communities designated by the Secretary of
Agriculture as Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones.
In addition, for administrative expenses necessary to carry out the
direct and guaranteed loan programs, $482,787,000, which shall be
transferred to and merged with the appropriation for ‘‘Rural Development, Salaries and Expenses’’.
Note.—A regular 2003 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution
(P.L. 107–229, as amended). The amounts included for 2003 in this budget reflect the
Administration’s 2003 policy proposals.

Rural housing insurance fund—This fund was established
in 1965 (Public Law 89–117) pursuant to section 517 of title
V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended.
The programs funded through the Rural Housing Insurance
Fund Program account are: section 502 very low and low
to moderate income homeownership loans and guarantees;
section 504 very low-income housing repair loans; section 515
rural rental housing loans; section 524 housing site loans,
single family and multi-family housing credit sales of acquired
property, and section 538 multi-family housing guarantees.
The section 523 self-help housing land development loan program was included under this heading beginning in 1997.
Previously, this loan program was accounted for under the
separate heading of ‘‘Self-Help Housing Land Development
Fund Program Account.’’ Starting in 2001, section 514 domestic farm labor housing loans and grants are funded under
the new Farm Labor Program Account in order to provide
flexibility between loans and the farm labor housing grants.
Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include
towns, villages, and other places which are not part of an
urban area and that have a population not in excess of 2,500
inhabitants, or is in excess of 2,500 but not in excess of
10,000 if rural in character, or has a population in excess
of 10,000 but not more than 20,000 and is not within a
standard metropolitan statistical area and has a serious lack
of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers.
For 2004, funds for section 515 rural rental housing loans
will be limited to repair and rehabilitation only and $71 million is included for this purpose. This is a change from the
2002 budget; it emphasizes the need for repair and rehabilitation of existing rural rental housing. During the hiatus of
providing new construction, RHS will study its multifamily
housing portfolio and determine ways to operate and manage
the portfolio more efficiently so that new construction may
be provided in future years at less cost to the taxpayers.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees
committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative expenses of this
program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present
value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on
a cash basis.

Program and Financing (in millions of dollars)

The goal of the Empowerment Zone/Enterprise Community
(EZ/EC) initiative is to revitalize rural communities in a manner that attracts private sector investment and thereby provides self-sustaining community and economic development.
Appropriated funding in 1999 through 2002 was provided for
EZ/EC’s designated as part of the second round of this initiative. No additional funds were requested in 2003 because
sufficient carryover balances were available. No funds are
requested for 2004.
The flexible grant funding is available for a wide variety
of community and economic development purposes that link
human capital needs with economic development initiatives.
The purposes may include revolving loan funds for business
capitalization or community development, job training and
job counseling, infrastructure investment, home ownership
and home ownership counseling, health care and related facilities, child care and administrative costs linked to redevelopment efforts.
Similar to the first round, the second round was a multiyear effort based on a comprehensive development plan involving community residents, the private sector, the non-profit
community and local, State and Federal governments. Experience from the initial round of urban and rural designations
demonstrated significant successes that are stimulating billions of dollars in private sector investment, reviving communities that had given up hope for economic opportunity and
creating thousands of jobs, moving people from dependency
to active participation in the economy.

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.

Act of 1985. The program provides information and technical
assistance to agricultural producers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly and lower
production costs.
Funds are requested for cooperative research agreements
to help the Rural Development mission area maintain a predictable level of research on agricultural and non-agricultural
cooperative issues.
Additionally, USDA provides value added marketing grants
for cooperatives. These were first funded in the Agriculture
Risk Protection Act of 2000. The 2002 Farm Bill provided
$40 million for this purpose each year from 2002 through
2007. $30 million of the 2003 funds are blocked from being
spent because there is sufficient carryover balances to meet
2003 demand. The full $40 million is blocked in 2004 as
well. However, $2 million in discretionary 2004 funds is provided for this purpose.

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 $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 was provided in 2001 to help the domestic lamb industry adjust to
foreign competition. In 2002, an additional $1 million was
provided. No additional funds are requested in 2004.

The Rural Strategic Investment Program is authorized
under 7 U.S.C. 2009dd. The Rural Strategic Investment Program will provide rural communities with flexible resources
to develop comprehensive, collaborative, and locally-based
strategic planning processes; and will implement innovative
community and economic development strategies that optimize regional competitive advantages. The program was authorized and funded in section 6030 of the Farm Security
and Rural Investment Act of 2002, Public Law 107–171, dated
May 13, 2002. The Act provides that if the Secretary approves
a national strategic investment plan submitted by the National Board, the Secretary shall transfer $100,000,000 for
planning grants and innovation grants to Regional Boards
from the Commodity Credit Corporation, to remain available
until expended. However, in 2003 $15,000,000 of these funds
were blocked to reflect a total amount of $85,000,000 for
this purpose.

This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who
in turn relend the funds to small rural businesses, community
development corporations, and other organizations for the
purpose of improving economic opportunities in rural areas.
Through the use of local intermediaries, this program serves
small-scale enterprises and gives preference to those communities with the greatest need. In 2004 the Budget provides
$40 million in loans for this purpose.

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 Business Investment Program is authorized
under 7 U.S.C. 2009cc. The purpose of this program is to
promote economic development and the creation of wealth
and job opportunities in rural areas and among individuals
living in those areas by encouraging developmental capital
investments in smaller enterprises primarily located in rural
areas. RBS may enter into participation agreements with
rural business investment companies and may guarantee debentures of rural business investment companies to enable
each rural business investment company to make developmental venture capital investments in smaller enterprises in
rural areas. Grants will be made to rural business investment
companies and other entities for the purpose of providing
operational assistance to smaller enterprises financed by rural
business investment companies. The Rural Business Investment Program was authorized and provided mandatory funding by section 6029 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, Public Law 107–171, dated May 13, 2002.
The Act provides such sums as may be necessary for the
cost of guaranteeing $280 million of debentures and $44 million to make grants, an estimated total of $100,000,000, to
remain available until expended from the funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative expenses of this program.
The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis;
the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

Renewable Energy Systems and Energy Efficiency Improvements is authorized under 7 U.S.C. 8106. This program provides direct loans, loan guarantees, and grants to farmers,
ranchers, and small rural businesses to purchase renewable
energy systems and make energy efficiency improvements.
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–171, dated May 13, 2002, provides mandatory funding for this program. Of the funds of the Commodity Credit
Corporation, the Secretary shall make available $23,000,000
for each of fiscal years 2003 through 2007. In 2003,
$5,000,000 of these funds are blocked from being spent because similar programs within RBS can provide this type
of funding. Similarly, in 2004 the full $23,000,000 is blocked.
However, $3,000,000 in discretionary funding is provided for
this purpose.

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

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.
To support USDA’s rural development goal of providing
increased support to rural areas, the electric and telecommunications programs will target funds to needier areas
(areas of persistent poverty). The budget proposes
$240,000,000 for hardship electric loans which can only be
used for areas that are severely depressed (applicants must
meet rate disparity thresholds and their consumers must fall
below average per capita and household income thresholds).
USDA will analyze loans made in 2002 and 2003 to determine
the characteristics of the communities to which the loans
are going, who the loans are supporting, benefits derived from
the loans by the communities, and how many loans and dollars are going to support poverty areas. In addition, USDA
will develop program goals and performance measures to better define the purpose of the program and support future
needs of rural communities. These goals and measures will
be used to develop the 2005 budget for the electric and telecommunications programs.
RUS will rescind loans obligated, but not issued, more than
ten years ago. Most electric loans obligated more than ten
years ago have either been issued or rescinded. However,
current law prohibits the rescission of telecommunications
loans in most instances. This has resulted in many outstanding obligations that are older than ten years. Since loans
are issued for specific projects, and technology is changing
at a very fast pace, it is doubtful that the original project
will be accomplished ten years after a loan is approved. Legislation will be proposed to allow the rescission of all electric
and telecommunications loan obligations that are more than
ten years old.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
and guaranteed loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including
modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted
from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as
administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy
amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

The President’s budget proposes no more federally funded
loans. Funding for the RTB’s administrative expenses will
be transferred from the unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating account.
RUS will rescind loans obligated, but not issued, more than
ten years ago. Current law prohibits the rescission of Rural
Telephone Bank loans in most instances. This has resulted
in many outstanding obligations that are older than ten years.
Since loans are issued for specific projects, and technology
is changing at a very fast pace, it is doubtful that the original
project will be accomplished ten years after a loan is approved. Legislation will be proposed to allow the rescission
of all Rural Telephone Bank loan obligations that are more
than ten years old.
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.

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.
The President’s budget proposes that the Rural Telephone
Bank make no more Federally-funded loans.
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 blocking
mandatory funding and providing discretionary funding for
a program for 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, as authorized by the Rural Electrification Act
of 1936, 7 U.S.C. 901 et seq.
The budget also proposes continuing a program for one
year for grants to finance installation of broadband transmission capacity to and through rural communities. USDA
will issue a public notice for comment on how it will be
administering this program.

RURAL COMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENT FUND LIQUIDATING ACCOUNT
Program and Financing (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 these loan programs, all cash flows
to and from the Government resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed prior to 1992. All new
activity in these programs is recorded in corresponding program accounts and financing accounts.
In 1994, these loan programs were administered by the
Rural Development Administration. Under reorganization of
the Department of Agriculture, the water and waste direct
and guaranteed loan programs are administered by the Rural
Utilities Service, the community facility direct and guaranteed
loan programs are adminsitered by the Rural Housing Service, and the business and industry direct and guaranteed
loan programs are administered by the Rural Business-Cooperative Service.

The mission of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is
to open, expand and maintain global market opportunities
through international trade, cooperation, and sustainable development activities which secure the long-term economic vitality and global competitiveness of America’s rural communities and related food and agricultural enterprises.
FAS conducts a demand-driven export strategy, deploying
five major policy objectives to execute the strategy, while integrating commodity and country market priorities for allocating scarce export assistance resources. These objectives include:
Market access: FAS initiates, directs and coordinates the
Department’s formulation of trade policies and programs with
the goal of maintaining and expanding world markets for
U.S. agricultural products. It monitors international compliance with bilateral and multilateral trade agreements. It
identifies restrictive tariff and trade practices which act as
barriers to the import of U.S. agricultural commodities, then
supports negotiations to remove them. It acts to counter and
eliminate unfair trade practices of other countries that hinder
U.S. agricultural exports to those markets. In virtually every
foreign market, U.S. agricultural exports are subject to import
duties and non-tariff trade restrictions. Trade information
sent to Washington from FAS personnel overseas is used to
map strategies for improving market access, pursuing U.S.
rights under trade agreements, and developing programs and
policies to make U.S. farm products more competitive.
Market development, promotion and outreach: FAS develops
foreign markets for U.S. farm products through aggressive
market expansion activities. It provides services to the U.S.
and foreign agricultural trade sectors that are necessary to
establish, build and maintain overseas markets for U.S. agricultural products. Public Law 83–690, approved August 28,
1954, includes authority to establish up to 25 Agricultural
Trade Offices. Currently 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 are the Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program and Market Access Program. In addition,
FAS sponsors U.S. participation in several major trade shows
and a number of single-industry exhibitions each year. The
Quality samples program provides samples of U.S. agriculVerDate Dec 13 2002

tural products to foreign importers to help overcome marketing trade barriers. These programs are designed to create
demand for U.S. agricultural products in foreign markets,
introduce U.S. food and agricultural products to potential foreign customers, and show foreign customers how to use U.S.
products.
FAS strategic outreach efforts focus on facilitating export
readiness and help link both export-ready and new-to-export
firms to market entry opportunities, and increase domestic
awareness of export opportunities/global consumer quality and
product safety expectations. These efforts are designed to
strengthen the export knowledge/skills of producers and exporters so they can compete more effectively in the international marketplace. Outreach also includes targeting foreign buyers in educating them about the merits of U.S. products and how they can be purchased.
Market intelligence: FAS provides U.S. farmers and traders
with information on world agricultural production and trade
that they can use to adjust to changes in world demand
for U.S. agricultural products. This is done through a continuous program of reporting by 63 posts located throughout
the world covering some 130 countries. Reporting includes
information and/or data on foreign government policies, analysis of supply and demand conditions, commercial trade relationships and market opportunities. FAS analyzes agricultural information essential to the assessment of foreign supply and demand conditions in order to provide estimates of
the current situation and to forecast the export potential for
specific U.S. agricultural commodities.
Financial marketing assistance: FAS administers a number
of price/credit and risk assistance programs designed to leverage overseas market expansion for U.S. agricultural, fish, and
forest products. These programs include CCC Export Credit
Guarantee Programs, the Export Enhancement Program, and
Dairy Export Incentive Program. These programs are designed to help developing nations make the transition from
concessional financing to cash purchases, give U.S. producers
the ability to counter export subsidies of foreign competitors
and allow U.S. exporters to compete with sales terms offered
by foreign competitors.
Long-term market and infrastructure development: FAS promotes trade capacity building, fosters world food security,
and deploys USDA resources and expertise to advance market-based policies, trade and investment, sustainable agricultural systems, and agricultural research and education in developing countries and emerging markets. FAS also provides
linkages to worldwide agricultural resources and international
organizations to gain access to emerging technologies that
can help create new U.S. agricultural products and markets.
Direct program activities include administering the Cochran
Fellowship Program and managing USDA’s bilateral exchange
and cooperative research programs with foreign governments
and institutions. The Emerging Markets Program, under
which technical assistance and related activities are carried
out, facilitates international agribusiness relationships, enhances food systems in developing and transitional countries,
and helps expand U.S. agricultural exports.
FAS also administers food assistance activities such as Public Law 480, Title I; Food for Progress; Section 416(b); and
the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and
Child Nutrition Program. P.L. 480 Title I food aid is designed
to help developing nations make the transition from donations
and concessional financing to cash purchases while not displacing expected commercial sales. Food for Progress provides
food to developing countries and emerging democracies that
have made commitments to introduce or expand free enterprise into their agricultural economies. Section 416(b) provides overseas donations of surplus commodities owned by
the CCC to assist developing and friendly countries. The

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

International Food for Education Program provides for the
donation of U.S. agricultural commodities and associated technical and financial assistance to carry out preschool and
school feeding programs in foreign countries.
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.
Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund: The Montreal Protocol
Multilateral Fund was created in 1991 to help developing
countries switch from ozone depleting substances (ODS) to
safer alternatives. Developing countries’ commitment to comply with the Protocol’s strict requirements is contingent on
developed countries providing help through the Fund. With
Fund assistance, developing countries as a group have exceeded initial reduction commitment by almost 25%.
Historically, the Department of State and EPA have provided nearly all U.S. payments to the Montreal Protocol Multilateral Fund. This has funded projects that are leading to
the phase out of the production and use by developing countries of industrial chemicals that deplete the ozone layer,
such as chlorofluorocarbons and halons. In the future, there
will be an increasing focus on reducing the use of methyl
bromide in developing countries. In recognition of the growing
importance of agricultural issues in the Montreal Protocol
process, USDA is requesting a $5 million contribution to the
Fund.

The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107–171) authorizes the McGovern-Dole International
Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program. The program provides for the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities and associated technical and financial assistance to carry
out preschool and school feeding programs in foreign countries
in order to improve food security, reduce the incidence of
hunger and malnutrition, and improve literacy and primary
education. Maternal, infant, and child nutrition programs for
pregnant women, nursing mothers, infants, and children also
are authorized.

PUBLIC LAW 480 TITLE I PROGRAM ACCOUNT
(INCLUDING

TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

For the cost, as defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget
Act of 1974, of agreements under the Agricultural Trade Development
and Assistance Act of 1954, and the Food for Progress Act of 1985,
including the cost of modifying credit arrangements under said Acts,
$103,887,000, to remain available until expended.
In addition, for administrative expenses to carry out the credit program of title I, Public Law 83–480, and the Food for Progress Act
of 1985, to the extent funds appropriated for Public Law 83–480
are utilized, $4,041,000, of which $1,066,000, may be transferred to
and merged with the appropriation for ‘‘Foreign Agricultural Service,
Salaries and Expenses’’, and of which $2,975,000 may be transferred
to and merged with the appropriation for ‘‘Farm Service Agency, Salaries and Expenses’’. (7 U.S.C. 1691, 1701–04, 1731–36g–3, 2209b.)
Note.—A regular 2003 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution
(P.L. 107–229, as amended). The amounts included for 2003 in this budget reflect the
Administration’s 2003 policy proposals.

Financing sales of agricultural commodities to developing
countries for dollars on credit terms, or for local currencies
(including for local currencies on credit terms) for use under
sec. 104; and for furnishing commodities to carry out the Food
for Progress Act of 1985, as amended (title I).—Funds appropriated for P.L. 480 are used to finance all sales made pursuant to agreements concluded under the authority of Title I.
The Corporation may serve as the purchasing or shipping
agent, or both, for the importing country or may award contracts for freight agent services on behalf of the Corporation
to handle shipping of commodities under P.L. 480.
Sales are made to developing countries as defined in section
402(4) of P.L. 480 and must not displace expected commercial
sales (secs. 403(e) and (h)). Agreements are made with developing countries for delivery in accordance with the terms
of the agreement.
When U.S.-flag vessels are required to ship commodities
under this title, the Corporation will pay the difference between U.S.-flag rates and foreign-flag rates. In limited cases,
full transportation costs to port-of-entry or point-of-entry
abroad may be included along with the cost of the commodity
in the amount financed by CCC in order to ensure that U.S.
food aid can reach the most needy recipients.
Financing sales of agricultural commodities for dollars on
credit terms (title I).—Payment by developing countries or
private entities may be made over a period of not more than
30 years with a deferral of principal payments for up to
5 years. Interest accrues at a concessional rate as determined
appropriate.
Section 411 of P.L. 480 authorizes the President to waive
payments of principal and interest under dollar credit sales
agreements for countries that meet certain enumerated requirements. Such debt relief may be provided only if the
President notifies Congress and may not exceed the amount
approved for such purpose in an Act appropriating funds to
carry out P.L. 480.
Financing sales of agricultural commodities for local currency, including for local currency on credit terms.—Payment
by a recipient country may be made in local currencies for
use in carrying out activities under section 104 of P.L. 480.
Foreign currency received in payment for credit extended
may be used for payment of U.S. obligations abroad, subject
to the appropriation process. The P.L. 480 program is reimbursed for the dollar value of currencies so used.
The financing of sales of agricultural commodities for local
currencies on credit terms is subject to the same terms that
are applicable to dollar credit financing.
Furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress
Act of 1985, as amended (title I).—Funds appropriated to
carry out title I may be used to furnish commodities to carry
out the Food for Progress Act of 1985. Such commodities
may be furnished on credit terms or on a grant basis in
order to assist developing countries and countries that are
emerging democracies that have made a commitment to introduce and expand free enterprise elements in their agricultural
economies.
Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions
abroad (title II).—Under title II, agricultural commodities are
furnished to meet famine or other emergency relief needs,
combat malnutrition, carry out activities to alleviate the
causes of hunger, mortality and morbidity, promote economic
and community development, promote sound environmental
practices, and carry out feeding programs. Agricultural commodities are provided through governments for emergencies
only, and for non-emergencies through public and private
agencies, including intergovernmental organizations.
The Corporation is authorized to pay the costs of acquisition, packaging, processing, enrichment, preservation, forVerDate Dec 13 2002

tification, transportation, handling, and other incidental costs
incurred up to the time of delivery at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight charges, and pays transportation
costs to points of entry other than ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific country are not
available, where ports cannot be used effectively, or where
a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and
pays general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition, transportation costs from designated points
of entry or ports of entry abroad to storage and distribution
sites and associated storage and distribution costs may be
paid for commodities made available to meet urgent and extraordinary relief requirements.
The 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for
Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks provided
for disaster recovery activities and assistance. Title II received
$95 million from the fund as of December 31, 2001.
Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions
abroad (Title III).—Under Title III, agricultural commodities
are furnished to least developed countries as defined in section 302(a). They are provided through foreign governments
for direct feeding, development of emergency food reserves
or may be sold with the proceeds of such sale used by the
recipient country for specific economic development purposes.
The Corporation may pay, in connection with furnishing
commodities under Title III, the same cost items as authorized under Title II. Although no funding is requested for
Title III, up to 15 percent of funds from other titles under
P.L. 480 may be transferred for this program.

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

CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAMS
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)

This legislation would reauthorize programs under the
Child Nutrition Act and implement a new system to improve
the accuracy of eligibility determinations in the National
School Lunch Program beginning in 2005. Any savings from
the eligibility determination system would be reinvested in
the program to ensure that all eligible children have access
to meals and to provide financial incentives to schools that
serve meals that meet the dietary guidelines.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The 156 National Forests, 20 National Grasslands, and nine
land utilization projects located in 44 States, Puerto Rico,
and the Virgin Islands are managed under multiple-use and
sustained-yield principles. The natural resources of timber,
minerals, range, wildlife, outdoor recreation, watershed, and
soil are used in a planned combination that will best meet
the needs of the Nation without impairing productivity of
the land or damaging the environment. These management
and utilization principles are recognized in the Multiple-Use,
Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528–531) and use an
ecological approach to managing the National Forest System.
National Forest System (NFS) operations and maintenance
provide for the planning, assessment, and conservation of ecosystems while delivering multiple public services and uses.
These are delivered through the principal NFS programs of
land management planning; inventory and monitoring; recreation, heritage, and wilderness; wildlife and fisheries habitat
management; grazing management; forest products; vegetation and watershed management; minerals and geology management; landownership management; and law enforcement
operations. These programs maintain the capability to manage natural resources in a manner consistent with ecological
principles and responsibilities.
