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 E-Government efforts, in coordination with the Presidential E-Government Initiatives, to transform the Department’s delivery of information, programs, and
services using E-Government channels. OCIO is designing the
Department’s Enterprise Architecture to efficiently support
USDA’s move towards E-Government 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 and service responsibility for the IT component of the Service Center Agencies’
computing and telecommunications infrastructure. This includes the implementation of a common technology infrastructure to replace the outdated and stove-piped systems supporting the Farm Service Agency, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Rural Development.

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. 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. A
reorganization that combines the information technology (IT)
staffs of the SCA into one IT organization with OCIO went
into effect on November 28, 2004. The new organization, the
Information Technology Services (ITS), replaces a network
of cross-agency teams used to co-ordinate IT infrastructure
investment within the SCA and allows for unified management of the IT infrastructure. The ITS delivers the following
classes of technology services: Acquisition and Asset Management, Application Development and Deployment, Customer
Support and End User Computing, Data Utility, Hosting, Security, Telecommunications and Web Services. Service Level
Agreements (SLAs) that specify performance metrics will be
negotiated with the SCA for each class of service.

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 2006 program includes funding
to continue restoration and modernization of the Agricultural
Estimates program and the continuing development of a locality based agricultural county estimates/small area estimation
program. Both initiatives are designed to strengthen the quality of published data.
Census of Agriculture.—The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years. A proposed increase of $6.5 million
due to cyclical activities will be used to finalize content; continue mail list development; and streamline and upgrade processing systems in preparation for the 2007 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).

nology needs of regulatory, technical assistance and education
agencies of USDA and other Federal agencies are supported
through ARS research. The Service uses coordinated, interdisciplinary approaches to perform basic and applied research
on soil and water conservation, plant and animal sciences,
commodity conversion and delivery, human nutrition, and integrated agricultural systems. In 2006, the Service proposes
increased emphases for critical research needs in agriculture,
such as: support for homeland security efforts to protect the
Nation’s food supply (emerging and exotic diseases of plants
and animals, food safety, and the national plant disease recovery system); bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE); air and
water quality; biobased products and bioenergy; sequencing
and bioinformatics; nutrition and obesity; genetic resources;
controlling invasive specifics; climate change; agricultural information services and cyber security. Consistent with the
2005 Budget, the 2006 Budget also proposes to eliminate
funding for unrequested Congressional earmarks added to the
Service since 2001. In 2004, the Service submitted 81 new
patent applications, participated in 44 new Cooperative research and development agreements (CRADAs), licensed 29
new products, and developed 57 new plant varieties to release
to industry for further development and marketing.
Product Quality/Value Added.—New products, new uses,
and value-added processes that appeal to consumers will create additional demand-driven need for agricultural production, thus providing more opportunities for agricultural producers and businesses. Biobased technologies promise new
opportunities for energy, industrial and pharmacological markets for U.S. farmers. New markets are emerging for environmental activities and products that mitigate environmental
concerns.
Livestock Production.—Intense competition in global markets emphasizes the need for American agriculture to pursue
and market higher value animal products. Research must
respond to consumer demands for healthier and safer products to ensure a sustainable and profitable livestock production system that produces affordable value-added food, fiber,
and industrial products. These superior technologies must effectively differentiate U.S. agricultural products from competing sources and provide customers with value-added processes that enhance product quality.
Crop Production.—ARS will develop and disseminate
science-based information to provide U.S. crop producers with
increased flexibility to effectively manage unforeseen risks
that impact profitability and product quality. U.S. agricultural
production and marketability is constantly influenced by factors such as unpredictable weather, disease and pest outbreaks, and changing consumer demands. Use of genetically
diverse germplasm resource collections and best management
practices require research that helps improve production efficiency and productivity through the development of pest resistant varieties and information to facilitate decision-making.
Food Safety.—For the Nation to have affordable and safe
food, the food system must be protected at each step from
production to consumption. The production and distribution
system for food in the United States has been a diverse,
extensive, and easily accessible system. This open system is
vulnerable to the introduction of pathogens and toxins
through natural processes, global commerce, and by intentional means. Thus, the food supply must be protected during
production, processing, and preparation from pathogens, toxins, and chemical contamination that cause disease in humans.
Livestock Protection.—Economic sustainability of livestock
production systems in both domestic and global markets is
limited by the disease status of the animals. Many factors
affect the likelihood of diseases in livestock. These include
globalization and international commerce, presence of pathogen vectors, industrialization of agriculture, availability of

vaccines and protection systems, movements of animals during production, continued emergence of new diseases, genetic
resistance, and the availability of vaccines and protection systems, movements of animals during production, continued
emergence of new disease, genetic resistance, and the availability of trained animal health specialists. Livestock production systems are in transition from open and extensive systems to more closely monitored intensive management systems which remain vulnerable to accidental and intentional
exposure to pathogens. Many of these pathogens are zoonotic
and impact public health.
Crop Protection.—Economic sustainability of agricultural
crop production in both domestic and global markets is limited by the disease status of crops. Many factors affect the
likelihood of diseases to crops including, globalization and
international commerce, presence of pathogen vectors, availability of protection systems, continued emergence of new disease, genetic resistance of crops, and the availability of
trained plant health specialists. Crop systems have limited
diversity and will remain extensive and thereby more vulnerable to intentional exposure to pathogens.
Human Nutrition.—Improving the Nation’s health requires
enhancing the quality of the American diet. The United States
is experiencing an obesity epidemic resulting from multifaceted causes including a ‘‘more is better’’ mindset, a sedentary lifestyle, and the selection of readily available high
calorie foods. In addition, four of the top ten causes of death
in the U.S.—cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes—are associated with the quality of our diets—diets too
high in calories, total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, or too
low in fiber. Americans want fresh foods that taste good,
are convenient to prepare and consume, and yet, offer nutrition and health benefits. Building a strong connection between agriculture and human health is an important step
to providing a nutritionally enhanced food supply. Promoting
healthier food choices and educating Americans to balance
caloric intake with sufficient daily physical activity are vital
steps to preventing obesity and decreasing risk for chronic
disease.
Environmental Stewardship.—Agriculture relies on a natural resource base whose sustainability depends on sound,
science-based production practices. The management of our
renewable resources often seems to be a continuous balancing
of conflicting and competing goals and concerns. While this
is often the case, particularly in the short-term, longer-term
management strategies combined with adequate knowledge
of the complex natural systems can yield maximum sustainable benefits from our resources that can satisfy most competing concerns. The outcome will be technology and practices
that will mitigate the adverse impact of agriculture on the
environment, moderate the build up of green house gasses
that may contribute to climate change, and remove the necessity of farming environmentally sensitive marginal lands.
Library and Information Services.—Timely, relevant information is an essential raw material for the research process
as well as for effective policy development and decision-making. Targeted information services are also required to support specialized USDA audiences such as inspectors, regulators, nutritionists, and others, as well as their peers, customers and stakeholders nationwide. The general public requires information on a very broad set of agriculture-related
topics, ranging from small business development to gardening
to nutrition to food safety to farming to textiles to statistics
and beyond. And, the permanent preservation of USDAs and
the Nation’s agricultural intellectual heritage is a key national responsibility. The National Agricultural Library (NAL)
is mandated to fulfill these roles and is a national resource
for all users of agricultural information. NAL’ s work in collecting, preserving and ensuring access to agricultural information is fundamental to the continued wellbeing and growth

the nation and world.
Repair and maintenance of facilities.—Funds are used to
restore, upgrade, and maintain Federal facilities to meet
OSHA and EPA requirements, provide suitable workspace for
in-house research programs, and to retrofit existing structures
for better energy utilization.
Collaborative Research Program.—Funds from the U.S.
Agency for International Development (AID), allow USDA to
provide short-term scientific exchanges to the New Independent States of the former Soviet Union (NIS), in developing a market-based agricultural system necessary to meet
the food needs of their populations and to develop and
strengthen trade linkages between their countries and related
agribusiness and agricultural enterprise in the U.S.
Reimbursements.—Agricultural Research Service performs
program research activities and services for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies. These activities and services
are paid for on a reimbursable basis.

Under the Integrated Activities account, research, education
and/or extension grants are awarded for competitive and noncompetitive programs. In 2006, the Budget proposes that Section 406 activities, formerly supported under the Integrated
account, be supported within the Research and Education
account. These activities will be funded at $41.9 million, but
the grants will be administered through the National Research Initiative (NRI) or the new competitive regional, State
or local applied research program. This will allow greater
flexibility and responsiveness to changing needs in these targeted activities.

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 supports 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.

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.
The Budget proposes that beginning in 2006, a portion of
funding for the Hatch Act, McIntire Stennis Cooperative Forestry, and Animal Health and Disease Research Programs
be shifted to competively awarded grants. The 2006 Budget
proposes a new competitively awarded grants program to support systemwide research planning and coordination and for
regional, State, and local research in the areas of new products/new uses, social sciences, and the environment. This program will replace some of the multistate efforts currently
supported by formula funds. In addition, the Budget proposes
an increase in funding for the NRI.
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 University.—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 University.
Special research grants.—This program addresses research
areas of national interest. Funding is proposed for grant programs in IR–4 minor crop pest management, pest management alternatives, and sustainable agriculture. Funding is
also proposed for integrated pest management. Advances in
these areas will provide producers with safe, alternative pest
control methods resulting in more farmers increasing the
number of acres on which Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
methods are used. Funding proposed for IR–4 minor crop
pest management and minor use animal drugs will address
the growing need for registration of safe pesticides and drugs
for minor crops and animals and lead to reduced levels of
chemical and drug residues in food products by half. These
pest management programs will be coordinated to address
Food Quality and Protection Act issues. The IR–4 and IPM
programs are contained under improved pest control funding.
Improved pest control also includes Pest Management AlterVerDate Aug 04 2004

natives, and Expert IPM Decision Support System Programs.
A grant program for global change is proposed for research
at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative.
Funding is also proposed for the National Biological Impact
Assessment Program, and aquaculture centers. In 2006, a
new competitively awarded grants program is proposed to
support systemwide research, planning and coordination, for
regional, State and local research in the areas of new products/new uses, social sciences and the environment. The 2006
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.
1994 Institutions Research.—Funding is proposed to continue the competitive research grants program to build the
research capacity at the thirty-three 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. These programs 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. Funding is proposed in the 2006 Budget
for a Higher Education Agrosecurity Program to provide educational and professional development for personnel in securing the Nation’s agriculture and food supply.
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 (33 Tribally controlled colleges) to strengthen the
infrastructure of these institutions and develop Indian expertise for the food and agricultural sciences and businesses and
their own communities. At the termination of each fiscal year,

The 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. 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

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 2006, funding has been requested for the Expanded Food
and Nutrition Education Program, pest management, children, youth and families at risk, a youth farm safety education and certification pilot project, extension services on
Indian reservations, sustainable agriculture, new technologies
at Ag Extension, renewable resources extension act, and 1994

The major objectives of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) are to protect the health and value
of American agriculture and natural resources against a variety of threats. To achieve this mission, APHIS has developed
a protection system that is based on a strategic premise that
safeguarding the health of animals, plants, and ecosystems
makes possible safe agricultural trade and reduces losses to
agricultural and natural resources. 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 2006 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.
The 2006 Budget includes significant increases in monitoring
programs to enhance agricultural defense. The request includes $5,290,000 for the mandated select agents program.
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 2006 Budget
includes increases related to diseases such as citrus canker,
emerald ash borer, low pathogenic avian influenza, scrapie
and tuberculosis.
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 2006 Budget includes funding to enhance agricultural defense and for biotech regulatory services.
The 2006 Budget also 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.

The primary objectives of the Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS) are to ensure that meat, poultry, shell egg,
and egg products are wholesome, unadulterated, and properly
labeled and packaged, as required by the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the
Egg Products Inspection Act. Providing adequate resources
for Federal food safety agencies is a priority of the Administration, and the 2006 Budget proposes a $33 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: food and agriculture defense and workforce training.

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.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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.
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.

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 7 delegated States and 49 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

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.
Quarterly inspection of egg handlers and hatcheries is conducted to ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit
for human consumption.

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) increased the license fee and phased out fees for
wholesale grocers and retailers by 1999; (2) provided permanent authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license
and reparation complaint filing fees; and (3) repealed 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 nonFederal 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 provides funding for the administrative
and operating expenses of the Risk Management Agency
(RMA). The Agricultural Risk Protection Act (ARPA) of 2000
significantly enhanced RMA’s role in protecting the integrity
of the Federal Crop Insurance program for farmers. ARPA
imposed new regulatory responsibilities and expanded the
scope of program compliance and monitoring activities. Accordingly, it impacted on the amount and type of information
RMA collects. The budget requests additional funding and
staffing to fully implement these responsibilities.
The Federal Crop Insurance program is delivered through
private insurance companies. Certain administrative expenses
incurred by the companies are reimbursed through mandatory
funding that is reflected in the account for the Federal Crop
Insurance Fund.

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. 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. These programs all seek to help ensure a certain
level of annual income and are offered through private insurance companies. FCIC is also piloting an Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) program, which is designed to insure a portion
of a producer’s gross revenue based on their Schedule F Farm
and income tax reports.
The Adjusted Gross Revenue-Lite (AGR-Lite) insurance
plan was approved in late 2002 and offered for sale in 2003.
This product was submitted to FCIC through Section 508(h)
of the Act and was authorized by ARPA. AGR-Lite covers
whole farm revenue up to $250,000, including revenue from
animals and animal products. AGR-Lite covers the adjusted
gross revenue from the whole farm based on five years of
tax forms and a farm plan. AGR-Lite initially began as a
pilot in Pennsylvania and was expanded to include Alaska
(selected counties), Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York (selected counties), North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania (except Philadelphia County), Rhode Island, Vermont,
Washington, and West Virginia.
During 2004, RMA awarded over $23 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, 2004. 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 2004, 221 million acres were insured, with
an estimated $4,193 million in total premium income, including $2,481 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.’’
ARPA provided RMA with mandatory funding to implement
data mining and data warehousing to improve compliance
and integrity in the crop insurance program. It is estimated
that in its first year of operation, data mining prevented
nearly $94 million in improper payments and helped recover
nearly $35 million in improper indemnities. However, the authority to use mandatory funding for data mining expires
in 2005. Therefore, the 2006 Budget includes language to
provide $3.6 million to continue data mining and data
warehousing activities.
Additionally, the 2006 Budget proposal would tie direct
farm payments to the purchase of crop insurance. This change
will ensure that all farmers growing the major commodity
corps (e.g. wheat, corn, soybeans, and cotton) will have insurance coverage, ensuring that a farmer’s revenue loss in a
disaster will not be greater than 50 percent. As part of this
proposal, the Administration includes changes to the Crop
Insurance program that will reduce the premium subsidies
to the farmers as well as the subsidies in total to the participating insurance companies. These changes will allow farmers
to become more efficient in their risk management and companies to deliver crop insurance in a more efficient manner.
The government will also realize savings of $140 million beginning in 2007 as a result of these efficiencies, and the
need for ad-hoc disaster payments will be reduced.
The following table compares the scope of the insurance
operations planned for 2006. Amounts in the 2004 column
are as of September 30, 2004, and pertain to the 2004 crop
year.

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 Grasslands Reserve
Program (GRP). In addition, FSA currently provides certain
administrative support services to the Foreign Agricultural
Service (FAS) and to the Risk Management Agency (RMA).
This consolidated administrative expenses account includes
funds to cover expenses of programs administered by, and
functions assigned to, the Agency. The funds consist of a
direct appropriation, transfers from program loan accounts
under credit reform procedures, user fees, and advances and
reimbursements from other sources. This is a consolidated
account for administrative expenses of national, regional,
State, and county offices.
USDA’s FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS), and Rural Development (RD) offices act as separate
franchises, with offices often located adjacent to each other.
Prior efforts to improve the efficiency of USDA’s county-based
offices have resulted in significant co-location, and introduction of new information technology to simplify customer transactions.
During 2003 FSA also began to consolidate loan servicing
functions such as billings and mass mailings and is in the
process of implementing an interactive voice response system
to handle routine information requests from borrowers. These
efforts will help improve customer service while also reducing
annual costs to the Government. However, the separate hierarchical structures at State, regional, and headquarter levels
are set in law, and this hinders further attempts to achieve
additional efficiencies.
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 asSfmt 3616

sistance 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 through 2005, 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 farm planting history; (d) notifying producers of established allotments and farm planting
histories; (e) establishing individual farm allotments and determining farm marketing quotas for tobacco through 2005;
(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, 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 USWA 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 USWA 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. Funding for farm loan administrative expenses is transferred to this consolidated account from the
ACIF. Appropriations representing subsidy amounts necessary to support the individual program loan levels under
Federal Credit Reform are made to the ACIF account.
Other reimbursable activities.—FSA collects a fee or is reimbursed for performing a variety of services for other Federal
agencies, CCC, industry, and others, including certain administrative support services for the Risk Management Agency
and the Foreign Agricultural Service, and for county office
services provided to Federal and non-Federal entities, including a variety of services to producers.

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

million in Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funding for
a program in New York.
In addition, P.L. 108–83, the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, provided $9.7 million in CCC funding to compensate
eligible orchardists in Michigan for losses due to fire blight.
For 2005, no appropriation was provided for TAP. However,
the following CCC funding was provided by the 2005 Military
Construction Appropriations and Emergency Hurricane Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2005: (1) such sums as necessary for assistance to eligible producers for specified tree
losses; (2) $15 million for timber losses; (3) $10 million for
orchard tree losses; and (4) $8.5 million for assistance to
eligible pecan producers in designated counties.
No funding is requested for 2006.

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 objective of the program was to conserve soil
and water resources. Along with annual agreements, cost
sharing was authorized for long-term agreements of 3–10
years. In 2004 a transfer of $947,623 in unobligated funds
was made to the USDA Working Capital Fund as authorized
in Section 704 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004,

DAIRY INDEMNITY PROGRAM

The Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) 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 2002 through 2004 for a nationwide
ECP. However, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2004,
P.L. 108–199, provided $12 million to repair damage caused
by wildfire in southern California. The program continued
to operate nationwide using unobligated funds carried forward
from 2001 and recoveries throughout the three fiscal years.
Under the 2004 program, cost-sharing and technical assistance were provided in 34 States and one territory to treat

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.
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 2004, $601 thousand was paid to producers who filed
claims under the program.
The 2006 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 2005 and 2006 budget
estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2005 and
2006 from the present level; (b) 2005 crop production will
decrease from 2004 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2006 are expected to be lower than 2005 levels; (d) yields for the 2005
crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends; and
(e) acreage allotments and marketing quotas will be in effect
for the 2004 crops of certain kinds of tobacco.
It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the
year ending September 30, 2006, 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.
In 2003, USDA announced it had reserved 2 million Conservation Reserve Program acres for the continuous signup
program. Within this reserved amount, USDA will make a
special effort to help enhance wildlife habitat and sequester
carbon by setting aside 500 thousand acres for bottomland
hardwood tree planting. In 2004, USDA further enhanced
CRP by announcing the Northern Bobwhite Quail Initiative
and additional wetland restoration initiatives. Also in 2004,
the Administration announced its commitment to full enrollment of CRP and that USDA will offer early reenrollment
and extensions of expiring contracts. During 2004, about 275
thousand acres were signed up for continuous practices in
signup 28. Together with the 2 million acres already enrolled,
this maintains the 4-million-acre goal for continuous signup.
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 general signup was held in 2004. Approximately 1.2 million acres were accepted in the program.
P.L. 108–498, signed into law December 23, 2004, provides
independent authority beginning October 1, 2004, for CRP
funds to be used for technical assistance.
Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for
net realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations.
The 2002 Farm Bill provided a total of $176 billion for
payments to the farm sector, a 74 percent increase over the
assistance the previous Farm Bill would have provided in
the absence of any additional emergency assistance. Not all
of this assistance is appropriately targeted, and many of the
programs may need to be reformed as a result of any new
multilateral long-term trade agreements. Therefore, the Administration is proposing the following legislative changes to
reduce agricultural subsidies, promote more efficient production decisions, and extend expiring programs:
• Reducing the payment limit cap for individuals to
$250,000 for crop payments, including all types of marketing
loan gains, while removing the three-entity-rule.
• Basing marketing loans on historical production.

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 through 2004 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.
Direct Payments and Counter-Cyclical Payments. The 2002
Farm Bill established 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
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 terminated the marketing quota programs and repealed price support programs. The prior quota
programs stayed in effect for the 2001 crop only, with quota
buyout compensation payments being made during fiscal
years 2002 through 2006. The prior price support programs
remained 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.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006

Public enterprise funds—Continued
COMMODITY CREDIT CORPORATION FUND—Continued
PROGRAMS OF THE CORPORATION—Continued

Tobacco program. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,
P.L. 108–357, eliminated the program effective with the 2005
crop. In return for losing the program, growers and quota
holders will receive a buyout. The owners of quota will be
paid $7 per pound for the quota they hold. The actual producers will be paid $3 per pound for the quota they produced.
The legislation eliminates all geographic and poundage restrictions on tobacco production as well as price support. The
buyout will be funded by assessments on the tobacco product
manufacturers and importers. The program will cost $10.14
billion, and the growers and quota holders will be paid over
a 10-year period.
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. 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 (MILC), 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. The Administration proposes extending the
MILC program through December 31, 2007, the duration of
the 2002 Farm Bill.
Market loss assistance payments. The 2001 Appropriations
Act provided $99.8 million and 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 $268.8
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.
Disaster Payments. The Military Construction Appropriations and Emergency Hurricane Supplemental Appropriations
Act, 2005, P.L. 108–324, authorized more than $3 billion in
financial relief for farmers, ranchers, foresters, and other agricultural producers who incurred losses due to weather conditions in recent 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 2006 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 2006 budget assumes a reduction in funding to
$60 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 million 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. The 2006 Budget assumes
funding of $125 million for FY 2006.
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.
Commodity Donations. The 2002 Farm Bill authorizes the
donation of surplus commodity inventory to domestic nutrition
programs. The Corporation may also donate 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. 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
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.
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.
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 additional funding 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. One such program is the Conservation Reserve Program
administered by FSA.
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 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.

The CRP is authorized in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and
the Virgin Islands, on all highly erodible cropland, other environmentally sensitive cropland, and certain marginal
pastureland meeting the eligibility criteria. In addition to
cropland in areas adjacent to lakes and streams that can
be devoted to filter strips, and cropland subject to overflow
and suffering from scour erosion, eligible land may include
cropland contributing to water quality problems, and other
lands posing environmental threats. Also eligible for the CRP
are water quality or wildlife habitat impaired areas that do
not meet the highly erodible land (HEL) criteria, such as
the Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, and Long Island Sound
watershed regions.
The 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, Wetlands Reserve Program, Wildlife Habitat Incentives program, Farm and Ranch
Lands Protection Program, Conservation Security Program,
and Grassland Reserve Program.
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 2006 Budget assumes the $14 million
authorized for use by the Natural Resources Conservation
Service will not be funded because the assistance AMAP provides is duplicative of other priority conservation programs,
such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.

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.

Operating expenses.—The Corporation carries out its functions through utilization of employees and facilities of other
Government agencies. Administrative expenses are incurred
by: the Farm Service Agency (FSA); the Foreign Agricultural
Service; the Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Risk
Management Agency; other agencies of the Department engaged in the Corporation’s activities; and the Office of the
Inspector General for audit functions. Additional expenses are
incurred by FSA county offices for work related to programs
of the Corporation, other FSA expenses offset by revenue,
custodian, and agency expenses of the Federal Reserve banks
and lending agencies, and miscellaneous costs.
Expenses are incurred for acquisition, operation, maintenance, improvement, or disposition of existing property that
the Corporation owns or in which it has an interest. These
expenses are treated as program expenses. Such program expenses include inspection, classing, and grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or Federal- or
State-licensed inspectors; and special services performed by
Federal agencies within and outside this Department. Most
of these general expenses, including storage and handling,
transportation, inspection, classing and grading, and producer
storage payments, are included in program costs. They are
shown in the program and financing schedule in the entries
entitled ‘‘Storage, transportation, and other obligations not
included above,’’ and ‘‘Producer storage payments.’’
Section 161 of the 1996 Act amended 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.
The Section 11 cap of $56 million including FSA loan service
fees remains at $56 million in fiscal year 2005.

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
previously been reimbursed as follows:

Commodity Certificates.—Subtitle B of the 2000 Act allows
for the use of commodity certificates. In making in-kind payments, CCC may (a) ‘‘acquire and use commodities that have
been pledged to the Commodity Credit Corporation as collateral for loans made by the Corporation;’’ (b) ‘‘use other commodities owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation;’’ and
(c) ‘‘redeem negotiable marketing certificates for cash under
terms and conditions established. Commodity certificates discourage producers from forfeiting commodities pledged as collateral for CCC commodity loans. Certificates are used to
repay marketing assistance loans when the adjusted world
price (for rice and upland cotton) or the posted county price
(for wheat, feed grains, soybeans, wool, mohair, honey, peanuts, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, and designated minor
oilseeds) is lower than the applicable loan rate. The Budget
assumes that commodity certificates may be exchanged for
loan collateral through crop year 2015.

The 2002 Farm Bill provided a total of $176 billion in
farm-related assistance, a 74-percent increase over the assistance the previous Farm Bill would have provided in the absence of any additional emergency assistance. Not all of this
assistance is appropriately targeted, and many of the programs may need to be reformed as a result of any new multilateral long-term trade agreements. Therefore, the Administration is proposing the following legislative changes to reduce
agricultural subsidies, promote more efficient production decisions, and extend expiring programs:
• Reducing the payment limit cap for individuals to
$250,000 for commodity payments, including all types of marketing loan gains, while removing the three-entity-rule.
• Basing marketing loans on historical production.
• Reducing crop and dairy payments to farmers by five
percent. Payments to farmers from all commodity programs
(e.g., marketing loans, direct and counter-cyclical payments)
would be calculated and payments would be reduced by five
percent.

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 65 percent) is guaranteed under Supplier Credit Guarantees than under regular
GSM–102 guarantees where CCC is guaranteeing foreign
bank obligations.
A portion of the GSM–102 guarantees is also made available as Facilities Guarantees. Under this activity, CCC guarantees export financing for capital goods and services to improve handling, marketing, processing, storage, or distribution
of imported agricultural commodities and products.
The subsidy estimates for the GSM–102 and GSM–103 programs are determined in large part by the obligor’s sovereign
or non-sovereign country risk grade. These grades are developed annually by the International Credit Risk Assessment

System Committee (ICRAS). In unusual circumstances, an
ICRAS grade for a country may change during the fiscal
year. The default estimates for GSM guarantees are determined in large part by the risk premia assigned for each
risk grade.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the credit guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of credit guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well
as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy
amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis. The 2006
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 is 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
direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are
estimated on a prevent value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

using conservation measures to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality.
NRCS works to deliver these conservation programs using
its technical field staff and by partnering with public and
private entities through the Technical Service Provider (TSP)
system. NRCS can contract with TSPs to help deliver the
Farm Bill programs, or agricultural producers may select
TSPs to help plan and implement conservation practices on
their operations.

øEMERGENCY WATERSHED PROTECTION PROGRAM¿

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 $922 million primarily to local areas and private landowners.

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.—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,
drought 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. Funding for the emergency watershed protection
program is typically provided through emergency supplemental appropriations.
To improve the delivery and defensibility of the program,
NRCS published a draft programmatic environmental impact
statement and proposed regulations for public review and
comment to assess various program alternatives. Through the
public feedback and information gathering process, NRCS ultimately will be able to make the program more beneficial
to communities and the environment.
Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 78–534.—
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.
The 2006 Budget redirects this program’s resources to other
priority programs within the Agency.
Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 83–
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

NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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
plan and install community-related conservation projects. Financial contributions, loans, and other Federal assistance may
be used to help carry out projects specified in RC&D area
plans. These coordinators help the area councils develop plans
and proposals to compete for financial assistance from other
Federal, State and private sources.
The 2006 Budget proposes new policy for the RC&D Program that phases out Federal support for the local planning
areas after 20 years of funding support. At that point, these
local communities should have the experience and capacity
to identify, plan for, and address their priorities. This policy
would cancel Federal support for 189 RC&D areas in the
2006 Budget. This policy is based on a finding that the program is duplicative of other USDA and Federal resource conservation and rural development programs. Also, the program
does not prioritize and target funding based on need or performance.
The following tabulation shows the status of RC&D areas
authorized to receive technical and financial assistance.

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.

Co-landowners or operators finance the entire cost of installing recurring management-type practices and pay a specified part of the cost-shared practices installed on their land.
Program regulations provide that cost-share rates offered in
any contract cannot exceed 80 percent of the cost of installing
eligible practices within the designated county. There is a
cost-sharing limitation of $35,000 for any contract.

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 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.

Section 1240N of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended
by Section 2502 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment
Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill), authorized the Wildlife Habitat
Incentives Program (WHIP) as a voluntary approach to improving wildlife habitat in our nation. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) provides program administration for WHIP.
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 vegetaSfmt 3616

tion, 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 only.

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 from 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.

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 2006 for all programs is projected to be
near or slightly above the 2006 enacted level except for guaranteed business and industry 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 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 $1 billion for these
programs in 2006.
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. $377
million is projected for this program in 2006.
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. $3.5 million is projected for this program
in 2006.
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 2006 is projected to be $527 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 since 2002,
and no funds are requested in 2006. 2006 projections for
loan guarantees are $899 million.
No funding is provided in this account for the rural business enterprise grants or the rural business opportunity
grants. For grants like these that are for community organizations to stimulate economic development, the FY 2006 Budget
proposes to consolidate them into a new economic and community development program to be administered by the Department of Commerce. The new program would be designed to
achieve greater results and focus on communities most in
need of assistance.

The rental assistance program is authorized under section

designed to reduce rents paid by very low-income and lowincome families living in RHS-financed rural rental and farm
labor housing projects. Funding under this account is provided
for renewals of existing rental assistance contracts, assistance
for newly constructed units financed by the section 515 rural
rental and cooperative housing program or the 514/516 farm
labor housing loan and grant programs, and for additional
servicing assistance for existing projects. Assistance is also
provided in lieu of debt forgiveness or payments for eligible
households to subsidize tenant rents in projects purchased

of whom are elderly. Recent Federal court rulings allow
projects that received their financing prior to 1989 to prepay
and leave the program. A recent assessment of the capital
and operating needs of the projects indicated that about 10
percent of the projects have economically viable prepayment
potential and that about 46,000 tenants of these projects risk
substantial rent increases and possible loss of their housing
if these projects are prepaid. Current law allows USDA to
assist these families by providing them with letters of priority
and vouchers which have not been funded to date. The 2006
Budget includes $214 million for USDA to establish a tenant
protection program for this purpose. The 2006 Budget amends
the current law to allow the number of vouchers issued to
exceed 5,000 and to allow vouchers to be used in places other
than 515 projects. Further, USDA is exploring ways to address the capital needs of those projects that stay in the
program. USDA expects to develop a comprehensive approach
that would include an appropriate sharing of costs with
project sponsors, and tenant protection for residents who
would otherwise be adversely affected in a prepayment situation in 2005.
Prior year obligated balances reflect funding for rental assistance for newly constructed units provided in limited
amounts in 1984 and 1985. From 1986 through 1991 rental
assistance for newly constructed units, as well as existing
rental assistance contract renewals and additional servicing
assistance for existing projects, had been funded under the
Rural Housing Insurance Fund. Beginning in 1992, pursuant
to Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established
for the rental assistance program.

Rural firefighters and emergency personnel grants are authorized under 7 U.S.C. 2655. Grants are provided to local
government and Indian tribes to pay the cost of training
firefighters and emergency personnel in firefighting, emergency medical practices, and responding to hazardous materials and bioagents in rural areas. Not less than 60 percent
of the amounts made available for training grants shall be
used to provide grants to fund partial scholarships for training of individuals at training centers. The remaining funding
may be made available for grants to provide financial assistance to State and regional centers that provide training for
firefighters and emergency medical personnel for improvements to the training facility, equipment, curricula, and personnel. The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002,
Public Law 107–171, provides mandatory funding for this program. The Act provides $10,000,000 for each of fiscal years
2003 through 2007, to remain available until expended, from
the funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation. The 2006
Budget proposes to cancel the 2003 through 2006 funding
for this program because other programs in Forest Service,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Bureau of
Land Management provide significant funding for this purpose.

and local governments for the construction and improvement
of community facilities providing essential services in rural
areas, such as hospitals, telecommunications applications,

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 2006, funds for section 515 rural rental housing loans
will be limited to repair and rehabilitation only and $27 million is included for this purpose. In conjunction with this,
RHS will begin to revitalize the existing 515 portfolio by
implementing a voucher program to assist tenants that have
been displaced due to property owners prepaying their loans.
Additional authorizations are anticipated to assist in revitalizing the portfolio. The relevant legislative proposals will be
developed and submitted during 2005.
For 502 guaranteed single family housing loans in 2006,
the Budget reflects an increase in the guarantee fee on new
loans to 2.0 percent, consistent with the 2005 Appropriations
Act. The ability to finance the guarantee fee is more in line
with the housing industry, including HUD and VA, and will
allow more lower income rural Americans to continue to afford these loans. In 2002, RHS approved separate risk categories for the guarantee refinancing (refis) and guarantees
of new loans. As part of that change, RHS also reduced the
guarantee fee to 0.5 percent for the refis. This change reflected the lower risk on refis as compared to an unseasoned
borrower receiving a new loan. It is also consistent with the
rate HUD and VA charge on their refis of similar loans.
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.

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

EZ/ECs designated as part of the second round of this initiative.
No funding is provided in 2006 for EZ/EC grants. For
grants like these that are for community organizations to
stimulate economic development, the 2006 Budget proposes
to consolidate them into a new economic and community development program to be administered by the Department
of Commerce. The new program would be designed to achieve
greater results and focus on communities most in need of
assistance.

Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized
under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural
Development Act by Public Law 104–127, April 4, 1996. These
grants are made available to nonprofit corporations and institutions of higher education to fund the establishment and
operation of centers for rural cooperative development. The
primary purpose of the centers is the improvement of economic conditions of rural areas through the development of
new cooperatives and improving operations of existing cooperatives. RBS can fund up to 75 percent of any project
and associated administrative costs and requires at least a
25 percent matching share from the applicant which must
be from non-Federal sources.
The Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas
(ATTRA) program was first authorized by the Food Security
Act of 1985. The program provides information and technical
assistance to agricultural producers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly and lower
production costs. The 2006 Budget provides no funding for
this purpose.
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. The 2006 Budget cancels these funds for a savings
of $120 million. However, $15.5 million in discretionary 2006
funds is provided for this purpose.

sheep and lamb industry. Additional funds have been added
to the original authorized amount so that the total available
for this purpose is now $28 million. No additional funds are
requested in 2006.

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. 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 2004 these funds were blocked from being spent.
In 2006, the Budget cancels these funds because there is
little likelihood that the funds will ever be obligated and
the program purpose is redundant with the mission of Rural
Development.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this non-budgetary account records all cash flows to and from
the Government resulting from direct loans obligated in 1992
and beyond. The amounts in this account are a means of
financing and are not included in the budget totals. The subsidy cost of these programs is funded through the Rural Community Advancement Program. Loans made prior to 1992 are
recorded in the Rural Development Insurance Fund Liquidating Account.
Direct business and industry 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. Funding for
this purpose was discontinued beginning in 2002.

This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who,
in turn, re-lend 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 2006 the Budget provides $34 million in loans for this purpose.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond,
as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the
administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

Rural economic development loans are made for the purpose
of promoting rural economic development and job creation
projects. Loans are made to electric and telecommunication
borrowers, who, in turn, finance rural development projects
in their service areas. Program costs are derived from interest
earnings on borrowers’ ‘‘cushion of credit’’ loan prepayments.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond.
The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

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. 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.
In 2005, the program is limited to $10 million. For 2006,
the Budget cancels unobligated balances, leaving zero for
these purposes. This is the expected obligation amount for
these funds because, like many new business programs, the
target community takes a while to develop. The split of debentures, grants, and administrative expenses in 2005 and out
will be determined as Rural Development works with Small
Business Administration to implement this program.
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 2005, the full
$23 million is blocked from being spent. Similarly, in 2006
the full $23 million in 2006 funds is canceled. However, $10
million in discretionary funding is provided for this purpose
to ensure that any unmet need by other Federal programs
can potentially be accomodated.

Funding was provided in 2001 through 2005 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 (RUS) 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.
USDA will propose rule changes to require recertification
of rural status for each electric and telecommunications borrower on the first loan request received in or after 2006
and on the first loan request received after each subsequent
Census.
USDA will determine if the current method of issuing loans,
‘‘first in; first out,’’ provides adequate support to the areas
with the highest priority needs. USDA will complete an analysis of electric 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.
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 cancelled. 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.

allow the RTB to close as the demand for private lenders
has been fulfilled through other sources. In addition, the
stockholders will obtain a cash payout for their stock while
removing this cumbersome program from the government.
RUS will rescind loans obligated, but not issued, more than
ten years ago. Current law prohibits the rescission of RTB
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 RTB
loan obligations that are more than ten years old.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for the RTB, 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.

this account records, for the Rural Telephone Bank (RTB),
all cash flows to and from the Government resulting from
direct loans obligated prior to 1992. This account is shown
on a cash basis. All new activity in this program in 1992
and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts. Funding for salaries and expenses will be transferred from the unobligated balances in the RTB liquidating
account in 2006.
The RTB provides a supplemental source of financing for

interest rate based on the cost of money to the Bank, as
prescribed by law, but not less than 5 percent per annum.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006

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 RTB required by law. The President’s
Budget proposes that the RTB make no more Federally-funded loans.
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 RTB loan obligations that are more than ten years
old.
Administrative support is provided for the general operations of the Bank by RUS employees and the Office of the
General Counsel.

expendedø, of which $710,000 shall be for direct loans: Provided,
That the cost of direct loans shall be as defined in section 502 of
the Congressional Budget Act of 1974: Provided further, That
$10,000,000 shall be made available to convert analog to digital operation those noncommercial educational television broadcast stations
that serve rural areas and are qualified for Community Service

direct loans shall be as defined in section 502 of the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974.
øIn addition, $9,000,000, to remain available until expended, for

The mission of the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is
to open, expand and maintain global market opportunities
through international trade, cooperation, and sustainable development activities which secure the long-term economic vitality and global competitiveness of America’s rural communities and related food and agricultural enterprises.
FAS conducts a demand-driven export strategy, deploying
five major policy objectives to execute the strategy, while integrating commodity and country market priorities for allocating scarce export assistance resources. These objectives include:
Market access: FAS initiates, directs and coordinates the
Department’s formulation of trade policies and programs with
the goal of maintaining and expanding world markets for
U.S. agricultural products. It monitors international compliance with bilateral and multilateral trade agreements. It
identifies restrictive tariff and trade practices which act as
barriers to the import of U.S. agricultural commodities, then
supports negotiations to remove them. It acts to counter and
eliminate unfair trade practices of other countries that hinder
U.S. agricultural exports to those markets. In virtually every
foreign market, U.S. agricultural exports are subject to import
duties and non-tariff trade restrictions. Trade information
sent to Washington from FAS personnel overseas is used to
map strategies for improving market access, pursuing U.S.
rights under trade agreements, and developing programs and
policies to make U.S. farm products more competitive.
Market development, promotion and outreach: FAS develops
foreign markets for U.S. farm products through aggressive
market expansion activities. It provides services to the U.S.
and foreign agricultural trade sectors that are necessary to
establish, build and maintain overseas markets for U.S. agricultural products. Public Law 83–690, approved August 28,
1954, includes authority to establish up to 25 Agricultural
Trade Offices. Currently 16 such offices are in operation at
key foreign trading centers to assist U.S. exporters, trade
groups and state export marketing officials in trade promotion. Promotional activities are carried out chiefly in cooperation with non-profit agricultural trade associations and
firms on a cost-sharing basis. The largest of FAS’s promotional programs are the Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program and Market Access Program. In addition,
FAS sponsors U.S. participation in several major trade shows
and a number of single-industry exhibitions each year. The
Quality Samples Program provides samples of U.S. agricultural products to foreign importers to help overcome marketing trade barriers. These programs are designed to create
demand for U.S. agricultural products in foreign markets,
introduce U.S. food and agricultural products to potential foreign customers, and show foreign customers how to use U.S.
products.
FAS strategic outreach efforts focus on facilitating export
readiness and help link both export-ready and new-to-export
firms to market entry opportunities, and increase domestic
awareness of export opportunities/global consumer quality and
product safety expectations. These efforts are designed to
strengthen the export knowledge/skills of producers and exporters so they can compete more effectively in the international marketplace. Outreach also includes targeting forVerDate Aug 04 2004

eign 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 62 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, which provides technical assistance and related activities, 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
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.

not to exceed $90 million for each of the fiscal years 2003
through 2007 to carry out the program.
The statute requires the Secretary of Agriculture to provide
funds to eligible agricultural producers when: (a) the current
year’s price of an agricultural commodity is less than 80 percent of the national average price for such commodity for
the five marketing years preceding the most recent market
year; and (b) increases in imports contributed importantly
to the decline in the price, as determined by the Secretary.
TAA provides producers of raw commodities, who have been
adversely affected by import competition, free technical assistance and cash benefits of up to $10,000 per year.
TAA covers farmers, ranchers, fish farmers, and fishermen
competing with imported aquaculture products. It does not

FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
USDA has multiple food aid programs that provide U.S.
commodities, technical and financial assistance to address
hunger and malnutrition needs worldwide. USDA, working
with USAID, delivers food aid programs to meet emergency
needs and fosters economic development activities to alleviate
global food insecurity.
Included in this category are the following activities carried
out under the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance
Act of 1954, Public Law 480, 83rd Congress, as amended
(P.L. 480): 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 (title I); for dispositions abroad (titles
II and III); and for furnishing commodities to carry out the
Food for Progress Act of 1985, as amended. Agreements may
provide for commodities to be made available on a multiyear basis. During 2003, USDA began implementation of the
McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child
Nutrition Program authorized by the 2002 Farm Bill. USDA
also has a commodity reserve in the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust for unanticipated, emergency food aid needs.

This account funds the non-credit components of Public Law
480. Under title II, agricultural commodities are furnished
to meet famine or other emergency relief needs, combat malnutrition, carry out activities to alleviate the causes of hunger, mortality and morbidity, promote economic and community development, promote sound environmental practices,
and carry out feeding programs. Agricultural commodities are
provided through governments for emergencies only, and for
non-emergencies through public and private agencies, including intergovernmental organizations.
The Corporation is authorized to pay the costs of acquisition, packaging, processing, enrichment, preservation, fortification, transportation, handling, and other incidental costs
incurred up to the time of delivery at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight charges, and pays transportation
costs to points of entry other than ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific country are not
available, where ports cannot be used effectively, or where
a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and
pays general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition, transportation costs from designated points
of entry or ports of entry abroad to storage and distribution
sites and associated storage and distribution costs may be
paid for commodities made available under this title for nonemergency assistance for least-developed countries and for
urgent and extraordinary relief.

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.
Financing sales of agricultural commodities for dollars on
credit terms (title I).—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.
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, fortification, transportation, handling, and other incidental costs
incurred up to the time of delivery at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight charges, and pays transportation
costs to points of entry other than ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific country are not
available, where ports cannot be used effectively, or where
a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and
pays general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition, transportation costs from designated points
of entry or ports of entry abroad to storage and distribution
sites and associated storage and distribution costs may be

year if program needs exceed the anticipated level.

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

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

This schedule shows the net effects of three legislative proposals. First, the Budget proposes to limit Food Stamp categorical eligibility status to households which receive Supplemental Security Income or Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families cash assistance. Second, the Budget proposes to
allow States to use the National Directory of New Hires to
verify Food Stamp participants’ employment and wage information. Finally, this schedule includes the Food Stamp effects
of the child support proposals in the President’s welfare reauthorization plan.

The 155 National Forests, 20 National Grasslands, and six
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; law enforcement operations; and hazadous fuels reduction. These programs maintain the capability to manage natural resources in a manner
consistent with ecological principles and responsibilities.
The President’s Healthy Forest Initiative marks a clear and
decisive change in direction to remove the causes of severe
wildfires instead of enduring season after season of devastating fires. Key to this effort is the reduction of dense
undergrowth that fuels catastrophic fires through thinning
and prescribed burns. Consistent with the Healthy Forests
Initiative’s focus on management and making better use of
existing resources, the budget puts additional discretion into
the hands of on-the-ground managers by funding hazardous
fuels activities within the National Forest System. Funds are
included within the National Forest System account to conduct all hazardous fuel reduction activities to minimize the
risk of catastrophic wildfire to communities and natural resources by reducing hazardous fuels in forests, woodlands,
shrublands, and grasslands. Funds are provided to plan, implement, and monitor treatments that include prescribed fire,
mechanical treatment, and chemical treatment.
In previous years, hazardous fuels funding was appropriated in the Wildland Fire Management Account. Transferring hazardous fuels activities to the National Forest System
will expand coordination and also work cohesively with other
vegetation management activities on the national forests to
create a landscape pattern that effectively lessens the likelihood of large fires. The focus of the majority of treatments
is on priority fire-prone landscapes in order to make an efficient and effective difference.
This budget places additional emphasis on hazardous fuels
funding that expands economic opportunities for rural communities that have experienced adverse economic impacts associated with Federal timber harvest reductions coupled with
an increased threat of wildfire. The budget retains the authority to use funds for contracts, utilizes appropriate competitive
sourcing, and provides an expanded authority for local hire.
Finally, the budget reflects anticipated increases in fuels
treatments through increased efficiencies resulting from the
use of the stewardship contract authority and other administrative and productivity improvements resulting from the
President’s Healthy Forests Initiative.
Included within the National Forest System account are
funds to rehabilitate fire damaged wildlands and restore ecosystems impacted by wildland fires. This funding will permit
immediate actions to reduce threats to public safety, property
and natural and cultural resources, and long-term actions
to help restore healthy ecosystems and replace infrastructure
damaged by fire. Funding will be used to improve overall
watershed condition and restore severely burned forests and
rangeland through activities that include reforestation, waterSfmt 3616

shed restoration, road and trail rehabilitation, fish and wildlife habitat restoration, planting and seeding and preventing
invasive plants.
The Budget includes a significant reform of the Forest Service that streamlines its organization, improves accountability,
and focuses on measurable results in the management of our
national forests. Specifically, the Budget will reduce overhead,
business management, and other indirect costs by one-third
to improve efficiency and program delivery. Results will improve in two ways. First, national forest operations will be
transformed by making additional ‘‘on-the-ground’’ resources
available for resource management projects that meet the
objectives of the President’s Healthy Forest Initiative. Secondly, the administration and execution of programs will be
enhanced through improvements in management accountability, reporting relationships, and oversight.

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

Forest Service Research & Development (FS R&D) is one
of the world’s leading forestry research organizations. It conducts ecological and social science research to understand ecosystems, how humans influence those ecosystems, and how
forests can be managed sustainably to enable both environmental conservation and economic expansion. Research is conducted at six Research Stations, the Forest Products Laboratory, and the International Institute of Tropical Forestry located in Puerto Rico.
In 2006, the body of knowledge and technologies will be
expanded to improve forest and rangeland managers’ abilities
to reintroduce fire to its natural role, control exotic plants,
insects, and pathogens, and keep losses from native insects
and pathogens to an acceptable level. FS R&D researchers
will be answering land managers’ scientific questions about
fire behavior, risk assessment and mitigation for multiple
hazards, and utilization opportunities for the biomass that
contributes to overcrowded, unhealthy forests. Increased funding will be provided for invasive species to accelerate research
vital to a rapid management response; and watershed reVerDate Aug 04 2004

Wildland Fire Management.—This appropriation provides
funding for Forest Service fire management, presuppression,
and suppression on National Forest System lands, adjacent
State and private lands, and other lands under fire protection
agreement.
Preparedness.—To protect National Forest System (NFS)
lands from damage by wildfires commensurate with the threat
to life, values at risk, public values, and management objectives.
Preparedness provides the basic fire organization and capability to prevent forest fires and to take prompt, effective
initial attack suppression operations action on wildfires. This
funding covers expenses associated with planning, prevention,
detection, information, and education; pre-incident training;
equipment and supply purchase and replacement; and other
preparedness activities, including the base salary and travel
of the regular Forest Service firefighting organization.
Through this program the Forest Service also assists other
Federal agencies and States with training programs, planning
assistance, sharing joint equipment use contracts, and interagency fire coordination centers.
Fire Operations.—To appropriately suppress wildland fires
on or threatening NFS lands or other lands under fire protection agreement. The Budget provides full funding of the tenyear average of suppression costs, adjusted for inflation.
The budget addresses Federal wildfire suppression costs
that have exceeded $1 billion for four out of the last five
years. Specifically, the Administration proposes that the Forest Service:
• Implement cost containment performance measures and
clearer rules concerning the use of suppression resources,
including incentives for rapid demobilization.
• Implement key recommendations of the PART review on
the fire program to improve accountability for fire costs
and improves performance measurement.
• Provide for greater program accountability at national
headquarters.
• Implement the agency’s stratified supression cost model.
• Allocate not less than 50% of suppression funds to Forest
Service regions and permit regions to retain the majority
of unobligated funds for use in hazardous fuels reduction
activities in subsequent fiscal years.
Additionally, Fire Operations funds are used to immediately
and efficiently rehabilitate severely burned NFS lands to prevent further destruction of natural resources and property,
including soil loss and flooding. Funds are used to provide
an appropriate level of fire preparedness when predicted or

Public Law 105–83, are available to cover the costs of restoration and administrative activities.
Payment to Minnesota.—At the close of each fiscal year,
the State of Minnesota is paid 0.75 percent of the appraised
value of certain Superior National Forest lands in the counties of Cook Lake and St. Louis for distribution to these
counties (16 U.S.C. 577g).

maintenance funding through predictable payments to counties, job creation in those counties and other opportunities
associated with the restoration, maintenance and stewardship
of Federal lands. Under P.L. 106–393, counties may elect
one of two methods to calculate Payments to States funding
they receive. Counties can either choose to continue receiving
funds established by the 25 percent fund or they can receive
their share of the State’s ‘‘full payment amount.’’ Full payment amount is the average of the highest three years of
payments to the State under the 25 percent fund through
the years 1986–1999. A county’s share of that amount is
generally determined by the State in cooperation with the
affected counties.

of environmental quality (16 U.S.C. 580(1)).
Restoration of forestlands and improvements.—Funds from
claim settlements involving damage to lands or improvements
and from forfeiture of deposits and bonds by permittees and
timber purchasers are used for the restoration made necessary by the action which led to the settlement of forfeiture
(16 U.S.C. 579c).
Timber Purchaser Roads Constructed by Forest Service.—
Funds from timber receipts for Government constructed permanent roads for purchasers of timber who qualify as small
businesses and elect to have the Forest Service construct the
roads designated under the timber sale contract where costs
exceed $20,000 (16 U.S.C. 472a(i)).
Tongass Timber Supply Fund.—Funds from sales of Alaska
timber to maintain the timber supply from the Tongass National Forest at a specified level (16 U.S.C. 539d).

Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Assistance and
Recissions Act for the purpose of restoring the timber pipeline
and funding the backlog of recreation projects on National
Forest System lands.
Valles Caldera Fund established under the Valles Caldera
Preservation Act (Public Law 106–248) provides funds, which

A proposal for a Facilities Acquisition and Enhancement
Fund would enable the Secretary to sell unneeded administrative sites including facilities and appurtenant administrative
land, and to use the proceeds for acquiring administrative
lands, construction, maintenance, rehabilitation and improvement of administrative sites. The agency currently experiences a $2.8 billion backlog that has accumulated because
of inadequate and untimely maintenance. Over 60 percent
of the agency’s facilities are over 30 years old and functionally
obsolete.

Supply Services.—The fund operates the following common
services, and provides for cost-recovery of Working Capital
Fund Program Management:
Photo reproduction laboratories that store, reproduce, and
supply aerial photographs, aerial maps, and other photographs of National Forest lands. Photographic reproductions
are sold to National Forests, Experiment Stations, and others
at cost.
Sign shops that manufacture and supply special signs for
the National Forests for use in regulating traffic and as information to the public and other users of the National Forests.
Signs are sold to National Forests and Experiment Stations
at cost.
Seed supply services that provide tree seed for direct seeding or sowing in nurseries for the production of trees. Includes
purchase or collection of cones, extraction of seeds, cleaning
and testing, and storage and delivery. Operates in conjunction
with tree nurseries; that is, forest tree nurseries and cold
storage facilities for storage of tree seedlings. Tree seedlings
are sold to National Forests, State foresters, and other cooperators at cost.
The Budget includes a proposal for the establishment of
a working capital fund for facilities. Establishment of this
authority will reduce the Forest Service’s maintenance costs
and expand efforts to address its deferred maintenance backlog. The authority will support facility and space management
investment expenses for Forest Service real property, including owned and leased space. The working capital fund will
be used for funding capital repair, renovation, rehabilitation,
maintenance, disposal, or replacement of buildings and improvements.

The Working Capital Fund is a self-sustaining revolving
fund that provides services to National Forests, to Research
Experiment Stations, to other Federal agencies when necessary, to State and private agencies as provided by law,
and to persons who cooperate with the Forest Service in fire
control and other authorized programs.
Forestry-related supply and support services include:
Equipment Services.—The fund owns, operates, maintains,
replaces, and repairs common-use, motor-driven, and similar
equipment. This equipment is rented to administrative units,
that is, National Forests, Research Experiment Stations, and
other units, and, in some cases, to other agencies, at rates
which recover the cost of operation, repair and maintenance,
management, and depreciation. The rates also include an increment which provides additional cash which, when added
to depreciation earnings and the residual value of equipment,
provides sufficient funds to replace the equipment.
Aircraft Services.—The fund operates, maintains, and repairs Forest Service owned aircraft used in fire surveillance
and suppression and in other Forest Service programs. The
aircraft are rented to National Forests, Research Experiment
Stations, and in some cases to other agencies, at rates which
recover the cost of depreciation, operation, maintenance, repair, and improvements in the airworthiness of the aircraft.
Aircraft replacement costs are financed from either appropriated funds or the Forest Service Working Capital Fund,
or a combination of both.
