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 on information technology (IT)

The objective of the Service Center Modernization Initiative
(SCMI) was to create an environment of quality service for
customers of the Farm Service Agency, the Natural Resources
Conservation Service, and the Rural Development agencies.
The Common Computing Environment (CCE) provides the
shared information technology (IT) to assist the Service Center Agencies (SCA) in accomplishing this objective. SCMI involved office co-location, business process re-engineering, culture change, partnership building and improving customer
satisfaction, in addition to providing a modern integrated
technology. In March 2000, the Office of the Chief Information
Officer (OCIO) was given direct management responsibility
for the CCE.
Information Technology Services (ITS) replaced a network
of cross-agency teams used to coordinate IT infrastructure
investment within the SCA and allows for unified management of the IT infrastructure. The ITS focuses around the
delivery of 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 that specify performance
metrics are negotiated annually 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 over 500
reports issued each year. Detailed data are also collected on
agricultural 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. Incentives and promotional items
are used by NASS to support outreach efforts to maximize
response rates on surveys and the Census of Agriculture.
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 2009 Budget request proposes
increases to improve the quality of NASS surveys and to
collect data on bioenergy production and utilization, as well
as a reduction from lower priority projects.
Census of Agriculture.—The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years to take a snapshot of America’s agriculture. This picture, when compared to earlier censuses,
helps to measure trends and new developments in the agricultural sector of our Nation’s economy. The Census is critical
because it provides the only source of comparable and consistent detailed data about agriculture at the county level.
The 2009 Budget request includes a reduction of $15.3 million
due to the Census’ five year production cycle, and increases
to measure energy production and use on farms, and to help
reduce the impacts of variable funding levels in future years.
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).

ducers with technologies to competitively supply these products. Technology needs of regulatory, technical assistance and
education agencies of USDA and other Federal agencies are
supported through ARS research. ARS 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 2009, ARS proposes an increase of $47.1 million in new and expanded research initiatives on food safety, obesity prevention, water reuse, crop
and animal diseases and pests, agricultural genomics and
germplasm, bioenergy and bioproducts, colony collapse disorder, and information services. ARS will finance these new
and expanded initiatives through the redirection of existing
lines of research including the closure of some research locations. In 2007, ARS submitted 105 new patent applications,
participated in 55 new Cooperative research and development
agreements (CRADAs), licensed 25 new products, and developed 77 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 sysSfmt 3616

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

tems, 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 greenhouse gases 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. Also, the permanent preservation of USDA’s 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
of U.S. agriculture, and the development of food supplies for
the Nation and world.

in-house research programs, and to retrofit existing structures
for better energy utilization.
Collaborative Research Program.—Funds from the Department of State allow USDA to support collaborative research
projects with scientists in the former Soviet Union and South/
Southeast Asia. Through scientific cooperation in agricultural
research, the USDA program supports the Department of
States’ nonproliferation mission while advancing agricultural
science by establishing new expertise in these regions, enhancing the effectiveness and productivity of ARS research
programs, and helping to improve the economy of these countries through advances in agricultural technology.
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 2009, the Budget proposes that Section 406 activities, formerly supported under the Integrated
account, be supported within the Research and Education
account. These grants will be administered through the National Research Initiative (NRI). 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.
Food and agriculture defense initiative (homeland security).—The program provides support to an unified network
of public agricultural institutions to identify and respond to
high risk biological pathogens in the food and agricultural
system. The 2009 Budget includes an increase to enhance
agricultural defense. In particular, funding will maintain and
enhance risk management tools for Asian soybean rust and
other pathogens of legumes. Additional funding for these laboratories is included in the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service participates in a nationwide system of agricultural research and education program planning and coordination between State institutions and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It assists in maintaining cooperation among the State
institutions, and between the State institutions and their Federal research partners. The agency administers grants and
payments to State institutions to supplement State and local
funding for agricultural research and higher education.
Payments under the Hatch Act.—Funds under the Hatch
Act are allocated on a formula basis to agricultural experiment stations of the land-grant colleges in the 50 States,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Micronesia, and Northern Mariana
Islands. The Budget proposes that beginning in 2009, an alternative approach be taken to expand and continuously recompete the Hatch Act multi-state awards by redirecting a
portion of the formula funds to nationally, competitively
awarded multi-state/multi-institutional projects.
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. The 2009 Budget proposes an alternative approach
under this program to redirect a portion of the formula funds
to nationally, competitively awarded multi-state/multi-institutional projects.
Animal health and disease research.—Funds, distributed by
formula, support livestock and poultry disease research in
approximately sixty-seven colleges of veterinary medicine and
in eligible agricultural experiment stations. No funding is
proposed for this program in 2009.
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 Alternatives, and Expert IPM Decision Support System Programs.
A grant program for global change is proposed for research
at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative.
Funding is also proposed for the National Biological Impact
Assessment Program, and aquaculture centers.
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. In 2009, the Budget proposes that Section 406 activities, formerly supported under
the Integrated account, be supported within the Research and
Education account and administered under the NRI.
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, Secondary Agriculture Education and 2year Post-secondary and Resident Instruction Grants for Insular Areas 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 2009 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 Secretary withdraws the income from the endowment
fund for the fiscal year, and after making adjustments for
the cost of administering the fund, distributes the adjusted
income on a formula basis to the 1994 land-grant institutions.

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
payments to the 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University and
West Virginia State University provide funds to support the
Extension’s infrastructure. Funding for these programs is included in the 2009 Budget request.
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 2009, funding has been requested for the EFNEP, pest
management, children, youth and families at risk, a youth
farm safety education and certification pilot project, Federally-recognized Tribes extension, sustainable agriculture, new
technologies for Agricultural Extension, Renewable Resources
Extension Act, 1994 (Native American) institutions, and 1890
colleges and Tuskegee University and West Virginia State
University facilities.

The major objective of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is 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 2009 Budget proposes increases to enhance overseas surveillance and
eradication efforts such as the fruit fly, and cattle fever tick,
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 2009 Budget includes increases in monitoring programs
to enhance agricultural defense efforts including the National
Animal Health Laboratory Network, National Veterinary
Stockpile, plant safeguarding activities, emergency coordination at the national level, and the regulatory oversight and
inspection activities related to select agents.
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 for a number of programs is based on cost-share criteria for Federal and non-Federal partners to respond to a
plant and animal infestation. In addition, the 2009 Budget
includes increases related to pests and diseases for a number
of programs, such as emerald ash borer, light brown apple
moth, sudden oak death, Sirex noctilio, and tuberculosis.
Animal care.—The Agency conducts regulatory activities
that 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. The 2009 request includes additional funding

for increased inspection activities as well as for programs
related to birds, rats and mice.
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 to support programs of
the Agency and its cooperators at the State, national, and
international levels. The 2009 Budget includes increases for
biotechnology regulatory services, plant and wildlife methods
development, reviewing and testing of veterinary biologics
products, and veterinary diagnostics. Several of these increases enhance agricultural defense.

The primary objectives of the Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS) are to ensure that meat, poultry, 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. In carrying out this mission, FSIS oversight responsibility covers 20 percent of the American food
dollar. Providing adequate resources for Federal food safety
agencies is a priority of the Administration, and the 2009
Budget proposes a $22 million increase from the 2008 enacted
funding level for inspection of meat, poultry, and egg products. The increase for 2009 will cover the pay costs for existing employees in the Federal and State inspection programs
and food and agriculture defense intiative activities. In addition, legislation will be submitted for two new user fees. One
fee is a licensing fee that all facilities will pay based on
production levels. The second fee will be a performance fee
charged to facilities that fail testing, have recalls, or are
linked to outbreaks.

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.
GIPSA’s Packers and Stockyards Program is responsible
for administering the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921
(P&S Act), which prohibits unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent
practices by market agencies, dealers, packers, swine contractors, and live poultry dealers in the livestock, poultry, and
meatpacking industries. The P&S Act makes it unlawful for
a regulated entity to engage in unfair, unjustly discriminatory, or deceptive practices. Packers, live poultry dealers, and
swine contractors are also prohibited from engaging in specific
anti-competitive practices. GIPSA conducts two broad types
of activities, regulatory and investigative, in its administration and enforcement of the P&S Act. GIPSA activities cover
two general areas: Business Practices and Financial Protection. Business Practices are further divided into Competition
and Trade Practices. 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.
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 6 delegated States and 55 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

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 on request for cotton and tobacco.

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.
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. 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.

Program entitlements. Furthermore, funds are transferred to
the Food and Nutrition Service for commodity purchases
under section 6 of the Richard B. Russell National School
Lunch Act and other authorities specified in the child nutrition appropriation. In recent years, program funds have also
been used to provide specialty crop, livestock, sheep and lamb
producers with disaster assistance in the form of direct payments and commodities.

The Agriculture Appropriations Act of 1935 established the
Section 32 program (7 U.S.C. 612c) which provides that 30
percent of U.S. Customs receipts for each calendar year are
transferred to this account within the Department of Agriculture (USDA). The purpose of the Section 32 program is
three-fold: to encourage the exportation of agricultural commodities and products, to encourage domestic consumption
of agricultural products by diverting them, and to reestablish
farmers’ purchasing power by making payments in connection
with the normal production of any agricultural commodity
for domestic consumption. There is also a requirement that
the funds available under Section 32 shall be principally devoted to perishable agricultural commodities (e.g., fruits and
vegetables). Program funds are used for a variety of purposes
in support of the three primary purposes specified in the
program’s authorizing legislation. Funds may be used to stabilize market conditions through purchasing surplus commodities which are in turn, distributed to nutrition assistance

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.

Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) becomes mandatory for
all covered commodities on September 30, 2008. Currently,
AMS operates a small COOL enforcement program for fish
and shellfish compliance (the only commodities for which labeling is now required). As part of the 2009 budget, the agency will propose to charge a mandatory fee for the full implementation of a complete COOL enforcement program for the
following commodities, in addition to the current fish and
shellfish items: muscle cuts of beef (including veal), lamb,
and pork; ground beef, ground lamb and ground pork; perishable agricultural commodities; peanuts and the current fish
and shellfish items. Additional commodities may also be considered. The additional funds will be deposited into the agency’s existing Trust account.

keting orders. Their operating expenses, partly financed by
assessments on regulated handlers and partly by deductions
from producers, are reported in these schedules. The majority
of these funds are collected and deposited in checking and
savings accounts in local banks, and disbursed directly by
the market administrator. A portion of the funds collected
are invested in securities such as certificates of deposit.
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 changed the amount and type of information
RMA collects. The budget requests additional funding 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. In addition, the data mining project, the
joint Farm Service Agency/RMA Common Information Management System (CIMS), and information technology (IT)
costs related to reducing fraud, waste, and abuse as well
as IT modernization are proposed as authorized uses of the
research and development funding in the Federal Crop Insurance Act.

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 crop insurance program is an
integral part of the broad-based safety net and includes programs involving yield and revenue insurance, pasture, rangeland and forage, livestock, and other educational and risk
mitigation initiatives/tools to manage risk.
Commercial insurance companies deliver crop insurance.
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 and is commonly referred to as ‘‘buy-up’’ coverage. 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 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 the 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.
Revenue protection for all products is provided by extending
traditional multi-peril crop insurance protection, based on actual production history (APH), to include price variability.
Revenue insurance helps to ensure a certain level of a crop’s
annual income. In 2006, RMA published a proposed rule to
combine the APH plan of insurance and five existing revenue
plans, including Crop Revenue Coverage, Revenue Assurance,
Income Protection, and Indexed Income Protection into a single policy. The combined policy would have the traditional
APH policy as its base plan of insurance with optional revenue coverages. The combined policy will eliminate duplicative revenue coverages and simplify the application process.
A final rule implementing the combined policy will be published in the Federal Register in 2008 after numerous public
comments are addressed.
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 income tax
reports. The Adjusted Gross Revenue-Lite (AGR-Lite) insurance plan, a modification of AGR, was approved in late 2002
and offered for sale in 2003. This product was submitted
to FCIC through Section 508(h) of the Act. For 2007, AGRLite covers whole farm revenue up to $1 million, 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 recently expanded to
cover 34 States.
For the 2007 crop year, RMA implemented two new insurance programs for pasture, rangeland and forage with coverage available in 9 states. The two new programs are group
risk policies that cover livestock grazing and forage land.

They are based on one of two indices; a Rainfall Index or
a Vegetation Index. In the initial year of being available
(2007 insurance year) there were 9,700 policies sold covering
more than 28.5 million acres and nearly 390 million dollars
of liability. In 2008, RMA will begin a two year plan expanding the pilot area to a total of 17 states. When the expansion
is complete in 2009, approximately 450 million acres of grazing and forage land will be eligible for PRF coverage. RMA
also awarded 8 research and development partnership agreements totaling over $3 million to develop risk management
decision support tools that assist producers with making appropriate crop insurance choices. Additionally RMA funded
approximately $5 million for improvements and expansion to
decision support tools for production practices to manage soybean rust and to help in the establishment of sentinel plots
to assist in keeping the nation informed on the movement
of the rust disease.
In crop year 2007, 271 million acres were insured, with
an estimated $6,555 million in total premium income, including $3,818 million in premium subsidy.
ARPA provided RMA with mandatory funding to implement
data mining and data warehousing to improve compliance
and integrity in the crop insurance program in years 2001–
2005. In 2006 and 2007, Congress provided funding for data
mining in the Administrative and Operating Account for
RMA. However, Congress recommended that RMA seek mandatory funding in future years. The 2002 Farm Bill mandated
the development of the Common Information Management
System (CIMS), a joint IT system between RMA and the
Farm Service Agency intended to improve data sharing and
program compliance activities. Mandatory funding provided
by the 2002 Farm Bill for CIMS expired in 2007. The 2008
budget requested, and Congress provided, funding through
ARPA to ensure the continuation of the data mining and
CIMS projects.
In recent years, the Administration has included several
proposals in the Budget to modernize the IT system used
by RMA to administer the Federal crop insurance program.
The scope of RMA’s IT system cover an enterprise-wide infrastructure and business operations at the national and local
levels as well as interfaces with private industry partners
reinsured by the FCIC. These systems support risk management programs expected to offer more than $72 billion in
coverage to America’s producers in 2009 and provide current
and historical crop insurance information to the industry and
the public. The existing IT system is nearing the end of its
useful life and recent years have seen increases in downtime resulting from system failures. More recently, RMA has
been forced to delay implementation of certain program
changes due to the inability of the IT system to handle the
modifications. Over the years, numerous changes have occurred in the Federal crop insurance program; including, the
development of revenue, livestock, and pasture/rangeland insurance which have greatly expanded the program and taxed
the IT system due to new requirements, such as daily livestock pricing, which were not envisioned when the existing
IT system was designed. These new requirements contribute
to increased maintenance costs and limit RMA’s ability to
comply with Congressional mandates pertaining to data reconciliation with the Farm Service Agency.
The 2009 budget proposes a two prong approach to securing
the funding needed to modernize the RMA IT infrastructure.
First, the budget re-proposes legislation to implement a userfee to be paid by the participating insurance companies. The
fee would be based on the premium volume of the participating companies and would be capped at $15 million annually. The fee could be generated with a charge of about onequarter cent per dollar of premium sold. Second, the budget
proposes to expand on Congressional action in the 2008 appropriation by including IT modernization, in addition to data

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; 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.
Farm programs.—These programs provide an economic
safety net through farm income support to eligible producers,
cooperatives, and associations to help improve the economic
stability and viability of the agricultural sector and to ensure
the production of an adequate and reasonably priced supply
of food and fiber. Objectives of the Agency include providing
direct and counter-cyclical payments, providing marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments enabling recipients to continue farming operations without marketing their
product immediately after harvest, 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) conducting referendums and certifying results;
(f) accepting farmer certifications and checking compliance
for specific purposes; (g) processing commodity loan docuSfmt 3616

ments and issuing checks; (h) processing direct and countercyclical payments and issuing checks; (i) certifying payment
eligibility and monitoring payment limitations; and (j) 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. As such, the FY 2009
Budget shifts $6.5 million from the FSA Salaries and Expenses account to the P.L. 480 Title II account for the cost
of certain services FSA currently provides for Title II programs.

On May 25, 2007, the President signed into law the ‘‘U.S.
Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq
Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007’’ (2007 Act), P.L. 110–
28. The 2007 Act provided $2.8 billion in agricultural disaster
aid for America’s farmers and ranchers. Specifically, the 2007
Act provides funds for a Crop Disaster Program (CDP), Livestock Compensation Program (LCP), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), and Dairy Disaster Assistance Program (DDAP).
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is charged with
implementing the programs. The USDA Farm Service Agency
(FSA) will promulgate regulations to govern the programs
for publication in the Federal Register. In addition, the agency will design and develop software for sign-up and payment
processes. The FY 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L.
110–161, provided an additional $602 million under Sec. 743,
which extends the period of loss eligibility for disaster assistance from February 28, 2007 to December 31, 2007.

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 2007 a transfer of $25,000 in unobligated funds
was made to the USDA Working Capital Fund as authorized
in Section 104 of the Revised Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2007 P.L. 110–5. Outlays to States in 2007 totaled

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.
For 2007, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations in
the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery,
and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, P.L. 110–
28, provided $16 million for the cleanup and restoration of
farm and agricultural production lands. Unlike other ECP
funding, eligibility criteria include income levels. In addition,
$2 million was provided, as determined by the Secretary of
Agriculture, to eligible agricultural producers in Kansas as
recovery assistance in response to damage in conjunction with
the Presidential declaration of a major disaster dated May
6, 2007, for needs not met by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or private insurers. These funds are available
until expended.
The 2009 Budget proposes no funding for this program.

For gross obligations for the principal amount of direct and guaranteed farm ownership (7 U.S.C. 1922 et seq.) and operating (7 U.S.C.
1941 et seq.) loans, Indian tribe land acquisition loans (25 U.S.C.

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 2007, $181,000 was paid to producers who filed
claims under the program and the 2009 Budget requests
$100,000 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 2008 and 2009 budget
estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2008 and
2009 from the present level; (b) 2008 crop production will
increase from 2007 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2009 are expected to be higher than 2008 levels; and (d) yields for the
2008 crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends.

It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the
year ending September 30, 2009, 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, food, and energy needs here and overseas, and available dollar exchange.
The 2002 Act re-authorized CRP enrollment through calendar year 2007, increased maximum CRP enrollment at any
one time from 36.4 million acres to 39.2 million acres, expanded the Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP) from six
states to nationwide with a 1-million-acre cap, and included
provisions for managed haying and grazing. Section 751 of
the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008 (P.L. 110–161)
extended CRP through March 15, 2008. Enrollment under
competitive general CRP sign-up provisions and under noncompetitive continuous CRP (CCRP), Conservation Reserve
Enhancement Program (CREP), and the FWP are guided by
eligibility and selection criteria rules published in May 2003,
May 2004, and August 2004.
Subsequent to passage of the 2002 Act, USDA initiated
several enhancements to CRP continuous signup designed to
enroll up to: 1) 500,000 acres of bottomland hardwood trees
to enhance wildlife, sequester carbon, protect water quality,
and reduce flood damage; 2) 500,000 and 250,000 acres, respectively, for restoration of floodplain and non-floodplain
wetlands; 3) 250,000 acres for upland bird habitat buffers;
4) 100,000 acres to provide habitat for duck nesting in wetland complexes located in the Prairie Pothole region; 5)
250,000 acres for restoration of longleaf pine ecosystems in
the Southeastern U.S.; and 6) 500,000 acres to restore habitat
for high-priority wildlife species throughout the U.S. Also,
in August 2004, the Administration announced it was committed to full enrollment of CRP. Recognizing that contracts
on 28.6 million acres mature during 2007—2010, the Administration announced it would provide for early re-enrollment
and extension during FY 2006. This activity resulted in 4.3
million acres being approved for re-enrollment under new contracts and 18.9 million acres with 2–5 year contract extensions.
Total CRP enrollment, 36.8 million acres at the end of
FY 2007, is projected to decline to 32.6 million acres by the
end of FY 2011, then gradually increase to 39.2 million acres
by FY 2017. As for the Emergency Forestry Conservation
Reserve Program, established to restore and enhance forest
lands damaged by 2005 hurricanes, enrollment during calendar year 2006 was 180,175 acres.
Sign-up activity is projected as follows (by sign-up year)
Continuous:
FY 2008: 395,000 acres (250,000 acres of new lands and
145,000 acres of re-enrolled lands)
FY 2009: 457,000 acres (350,000 acres of new lands and
107,000 acres of re-enrolled lands)
General:
FY 2008: 250,000 acres
FY 2009: 2.4 million acres (1.9 million acres of re-enrolled
land and .5 million acres of new land)
To improve the environmental benefits of continuous CRP
and CREP and focus on lands that provide the most benefits,
a signing incentive and a practice cost-based incentive are
often provided for high environmental value practices. In addition, USDA announced a new CREP agreement with Kansas
in December 2007 to improve water quality and supplies in
the Upper Arkansas River.
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.
USDA has incorporated stochastic price and production variability into its 10-year budget baseline process starting with

the 2007 President’s Budget. For the 2008–2017 crops, Commodity Credit Corporation outlay projections for counter-cyclical payments, marketing loan benefits, and milk income loss
contract payments are based on price probability distributions
and flexibilities generated by the Economic Research Service’s
Food and Agricultural Policy Simulation model. This approach
was used for feed grains (corn, barley, sorghum, oats), wheat,
rice, upland cotton, soybeans, sugar, and dairy.

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 sugar 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 x payment acres x payment yield. At the
option of the producer, the producer can choose to receive
advance payments (up to 22% for crop year 2007) 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 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 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.
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 to make monthly payments when milk prices fall below specified levels. The U.S.
Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq
Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (P.L. 110–28) extended the MILC program through September 2007.
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 Agricultural Disaster Assistance
Act of 2006, P.L. 109–234, authorized almost $500 million
in financial relief for farmers, ranchers, foresters, and other
Sfmt 3616

agricultural producers who incurred losses due to hurricanes.
Approximately $125 million was spent for these disaster programs in FY2006-FY2008. The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans’ Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, P.L. 110–28, appropriated $2.8 billion
in agricultural disaster aid for America’s farmers and ranchers. The FY 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 110–
161, provided an additional $602 million under Sec. 743,
which extends the period of loss eligibility for disaster assistance from February 28, 2007 to December 31, 2007.
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.
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 2002–2012.
Actual DEIP subsidies are further limited on a product-byproduct basis under the Uruguay Round.
Export Enhancement Program (EEP).—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 2002, $110 million for 2003, $125
million for 2004, $140 million for 2005, and $200 million
for 2006 and 2007.
Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMD)
and Quality Samples Program.—Under the FMD program,
cost-share assistance is provided to nonprofit commodity and
agricultural trade associations to support overseas market development activities that are designed to remove long-term
impediments to increased U.S. trade. The 2002 Farm Bill
increased the available funds for this program to $34.5 million
for 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 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. Although CRP’s authorization to enroll
acres under P.L. 107–171 expired Jan. 1, 2008, P.L. 110–
161 extended the authorization through March 15, 2008.
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 Secretary delegated authority to implement this program to the Natural
Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency,
and the Agricultural Marketing Service. The 2009 Budget

assumes the $10 million authorized for use in 2009 will not
be funded because the assistance AMAP provides is duplicative of other priority conservation programs, such as the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve Program.—The
Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act of 2006, P.L. 109–148, as amended by
P.L. 109–234 and P.L. 110–28, mandates that the Secretary
shall carry out an emergency pilot program in States that
the Secretary determines have suffered damage to merchantable timber in counties affected by hurricanes during the
2005 calendar year. The Act provided $404.1 million for this
program, called the Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve
Prgram (EFCRP). P.L. 109–234 increased funding for EFCRP
by $100 million, to $504.1 million. P.L. 110–28 lifted a restriction limiting the program to calendar year 2006. EFCRP enrollment during calendar year 2006 was 180,175 acres. Signup

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 2008.
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.

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 maSfmt 3616

turity 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.

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 2018.

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:

The Administration’s 2007 farm bill proposals represent a
reform-minded and fiscally responsible approach to supporting
America’s farmers and ranchers. While the current law has
served its purpose, the time has come to move forward with
a farm program that is market-oriented and considers more
than commodity prices alone when determining the appropriate level of government support.
The Administration’s proposals reform commodity payment
programs by: converting the current price-based countercyclical program to a revenue-based program that is responsive to actual conditions and provides a strong safety net;
reforming and modernizing the marketing assistance loan program for program commodities; tightening payment limits and
working to close payment loopholes. The Administration’s proposal provides more than $1.6 billion in new renewable energy funding and targets programs to cellulosic ethanol
projects. The Administration’s Farm Bill Proposals continue
this Administration’s commitment to rural America by building upon U.S. Department of Agriculture rural development
programs. The proposals target nearly $5 billion to significantly increase support of fruit and vegetable producers The
proposals also increase trade programs by nearly $400 million
to continue the creation, expansion and maintenance of agricultural exports.

This is the program account for the GSM–102 CCC Export
Credit Guarantee Program. The GSM–102 Export Credit
Guarantee Program covers credit terms of up to 3 years.
Under this program, 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 InterBank 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 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 program is 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 2009
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

Soil surveys.—Soil surveys and investigations are made on
the soil resources of the Nation’s private lands. NRCS provides this information as electronic and printed publications
for use by the American public and other Federal, State and
local agencies in making land-use decisions. NRCS uses the
information for program development, resource conservation
planning, and installation of planned practices. NRCS provides national leadership for the National Cooperative Soil
Survey and digitizing of soil surveys in cooperation with
States, and other users of soil survey data. Historically, Soil
Surveys have been published as bound paper documents. As
we implement electronic access to our information, our data
is increasingly provided in digital format only, and accordingly, publication goals are being reduced.

The authorities provided under the Farm Security and
Rural Investment Act of 2002 (P.L. 107–171) were extended
to March 15, 2008 by section 751 of P.L. 110–161, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2008. This extension included
authority for a number of USDA’s conservation programs.
NRCS is responsible for implementing many of these programs. All of the assistance for programs where NRCS is
the lead implementation agency is transferred from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to the Farm Security and
Rural Investment Programs account. This account funds the
cost-share, monitoring, easement, and other financial assistance activities associated with the programs under title II
of the 2002 Farm Bill. In addition, this account funds the
technical assistance costs necessary for delivering the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, the Ground and Surface Water Conservation program, the Klamath Basin program, the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program, the Farm and
Ranch Land Protection Program, the Conservation Security
Program, the Grassland Reserve Program, and the Wetlands
Reserve Program.
The Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) is authorized under
Section 1237 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended.
The authority provides for a total acreage enrollment cap
of 2,275,000 acres. The purpose of the WRP is to preserve,
protect, and restore valuable wetlands. The 2009 Budget assumes $181 million for this program, which will allow the
program to reach its acreage enrollment cap in 2009.
The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) was
re-authorized in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (P.L. 109–
171). The purpose of the program is to promote agricultural
production and environmental quality as compatible national
goals. The 2009 Budget proposes permanently canceling mandatory funds in excess of $1.05 billion for this program in
2009.
The Ground and Surface Water Program (GSW) is authorized by Section 1240I of Title XII of the Food Security Act
of 1985. The purpose of the program is to promote ground
and surface water conservation by providing cost-share payments and incentive payments to producers to carry out eligible water conservation activities. The 2009 Budget assumes
$60 million for this program.
The Klamath Basin program is authorized by Section 1240I
of Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985. The purpose
of the Klamath Basin program is to carry out water conservation activities in the Klamath Basin located in California
and Oregon. The 2009 Budget assumes no funding for this
program.
The Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP)
protects soil by limiting nonagricultural use of prime and
unique farm and ranch land. The 2009 Budget assumes $97
million for this program.
The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP) is authorized by Section 1240N of the Food Security Act of 1985. The
purpose of the program is to develop habitat for upland wildlife, wetlands wildlife, threatened and endangered species,
fish, and other types of wildlife. The 2009 Budget assumes
no funding for this program.
The Conservation Security Program (CSP) was reauthorized
in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. The purpose of the
program is to provide financial and technical assistance for
the conservation, protection, and improvement of natural resources on Tribal and private working lands. The program
provides assistance to producers who have already implemented high levels of conservation in order to reward and
maintain their model stewardship. CSP also pays qualified
producers to do further environmental enhancements to improve natural resource conditions on their agricultural operSfmt 3616

ations. The 2009 Budget proposes to both permanently cancel
spending authority in excess of $360 million in 2009 and
to reduce the program’s ten-year (2006 through 2015) budget
authority limit by $80 million.
The Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is authorized by
Section 1238N of Title XII, of Food Security Act of 1985.
The purpose of the program is to assist landowners in restoring and protecting grassland. The 2009 budget does not include any funding for this program.
The Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA)
is authorized by Section 211 of the Agriculture Risk Protection Act of 2000. Subtitle F, Section 2501(l)(4)(ii) of the Farm
Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 provides $10 million annually for financial assistance in 15 states, as determined by the Secretary, in which participation in the Federal
Crop Insurance Program is historically low. The program provides assistance to producers to mitigate financial risk by
using conservation measures to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality. The Budget proposes permanently canceling funds in the amount of $10 million in 2009.
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.

The Administration’s farm bill proposals represent a reform-minded and fiscally responsible approach to supporting
America’s farmers and ranchers. For conservation, the Administration’s proposals would improve program efficiency and
increase conservation funding by $7.8 billion over ten years
to better serve farmers, the environment, and all U.S. citizens.
USDA has multiple conservation programs, each with its
own eligibility requirements, regulations, policies, and administrative actions. These can lead to inefficiencies, increased
administrative costs, fewer dollars available for producers,
and fewer environmental benefits. These disparate programs
are also ill-equipped to solve complex agricultural landscape
problems. The Administration’s proposal would simplify these
programs to ensure conservation benefits are most effectively
realized. Among other things, the proposal would (1) consolidate six existing financial assistance programs into one new
Environmental Quality Incentives Program; (2) establish a
new Regional Water Enhancement program to address water
quality and quantity on a regional scale; (3) consolidate three
existing easement programs into one Private Lands Protection
program; (4) modify the Conservation Security Program to
emphasize higher levels of conservation practices; (5) reauthorize and expand enrollment in the Wetlands Reserve Program; and (6) reauthorize and enhance the Conservation Reserve Program to focus on providing the greatest benefits
for environmentally sensitive lands.

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. The 2009 Budget does not request
funding for this program because the Budget is not proposing
to fund additional watershed operations projects, instead redirecting these resources to other higher priority programs
within the Agency.

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. The 2009 Budget does not request funding for the watershed operations programs and instead redirects their resources to other priority programs within the agency.
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 naSfmt 3616

tional 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.
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.
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 60
percent of the funding provided is used for financial assistance.
Loans through the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund have
been made in previous years to the local sponsors in order
to fund the local cost of Public Law 83–566 or 78–534 projects.
No funding for these loans is assumed in 2009.

The Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program was developed under the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act, (16 U.S.C 590a–590f), the Bankhead-Jones
Farm Tenant Act, (16 U.S.C. 1010 and 1011), and the Food
and Agricultural Act of 1962 (P.L. 87–703) and is authorized
under subtitle H, title XV of the Agricultural and Food Act
of 1981, (16 U.S.C. 3451–3461), as amended. The Food Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Act) permanently
authorized the program. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) administers the program. In 1981, sections
1528–1538 of the Agriculture and Food 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 program, RC&D areas establish or improve coordination systems
in rural communities and build rural community leadership
skills to use Federal, State and local programs for the communities’ benefit.
The NRCS provides program administration and assistance
to RC&D areas through volunteer non-profit RC&D Councils.
Other USDA agencies with conservation or development activities provide input for program policy and guidance and
are members of the USDA RC&D Policy Advisory Board and
Working Group. In addition, these agencies provide limited
technical and financial assistance to RC&D Councils. Councils
also obtain the assistance from other local, State, and Federal
agencies, private organizations, and foundations to carry out
their specific projects.
The RC&D program provides assistance to local communities to develop strategic plans that address their locally
identified natural resource and economic development concerns.
The 2009 Budget does not request funding for the RC&D
program, instead redirecting these resources to higher priority
programs within the Agency.
The following tabulation shows the status of RC&D areas
authorized to receive technical and financial assistance.

NRCS mission goal of Healthy Plant and Animal Communities.
NRCS implements this voluntary program. At the state
level, the NRCS State Conservationist determines how best
to deliver HFRP and implement national policies in an efficient manner based on the national priorities identified in
each sign-up announcement. Only privately held land is eligible for enrollment into HFRP. Land enrolled in the HFRP
must have a restoration plan that includes practices necessary
to restore and enhance habitat for species listed as threatened
or endangered or candidates for the threatened or endangered
species list. Technical assistance will be provided by USDA
to assist owners in complying with the terms of restoration
plans under the HFRP.
The 2009 Budget does not request funding for the Healthy
Forests Reserve Program, as the Administration proposed consolidating this program with others into a combined Private
Lands Protection Program in its 2007 Farm Bill proposal.

by Sections 2201–2204 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill, P.L. 107–171), authorized
the Wetlands Reserve Program as a voluntary approach to
preserving, protecting, and restoring valuable wetlands. The
Natural Resources Conservation Service provides program administration for WRP. Funding for WRP is now provided
through NRCS’ Farm Security and Rural Investment Account.
Information displayed in this section represents unobligated

The objectives of the Water Bank Program are to conserve
water; preserve, maintain, and improve the Nation’s wetlands;
increase waterfowl habitat in migratory waterfowl nesting,
breeding, and feeding areas in the United States; and secure
recreational and environmental benefits for the Nation. The
program was authorized by the Water Bank Act of 1970,
as amended by Public Law 96–182, approved January 2, 1980.
Funding for the expiring 1985 Water Bank agreements was
transferred from the 1995 Wetlands Reserve Program appropriation to this account as authorized under the Water Bank
Extension Act of 1994. The 2009 Budget does not request
program funding.

COLORADO RIVER BASIN SALINITY CONTROL PROGRAM

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
the authorities of the Agricultural Conservation Program,
Water Quality Incentive Program, Great Plains Conservation
Program, and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program, into the Environmental Quality Incentives Program.
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, providing cost-share assistance to
landowners and others in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming to
enhance the supply and quality of water in the Colorado
River for delivery to downstream users in the U.S. and Mexico.

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. Most
of 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 delivSfmt 3616

Until 2008, this account consolidated, 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 was 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).
RCAP was composed of the following three funding streams:
Rural Community Facilities, Rural Utilities, and Rural Business.
To continue what was proposed and passed in 2008, the
2009 Budget proposes no funding in the RCAP account and
instead, each funding stream is being appropriated separately
in a new account. The Water and Wastewater funding stream,
which makes up the Rural Utilities stream, is in the Rural
Utilities Service, the Rural Community Facilities funding
stream is in the Rural Housing Service, and the Rural Business stream is in the Rural Business Service. Specific descriptions of each program funded in the streams appear with
the new accounts.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The rural housing for domestic farm labor grant program
is authorized under section 516 of the Housing Act of 1949.
The very low-income housing repair grant program is authorized under section 504 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. This grant program enables very low-income elderly residents in rural areas to improve or modernize their dwellings,
to make the dwelling safer or more sanitary, or to remove
health and safety hazards. The Budget provides $30 million
for this program in 2009.
The supervisory and technical assistance grant program is
carried out under the provisions of section 509(f) and 525
of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. Under section 509,
grants are made to public and private nonprofit organizations
for packaging loan applications for housing under sections
502, 504, 514/516, 515, and 533 of the Housing Act of 1949,
as amended. The assistance is targeted to underserved areas
where at least 20 percent or more of the population is at
or below the poverty level, and at least 10 percent or more
of the population resides in substandard housing. Under section 525, grants are made to public and private nonprofit
organizations and other associations for the developing, conducting, administering or coordinating of technical and supervisory assistance programs to demonstrate the benefits of
Federal, State, and local housing programs for low-income
families in rural areas. The Budget provides $1 million for
this program in 2009.
The rural housing preservation grant program is authorized
under section 533 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended.
Grants are made to eligible nonprofit groups, Indian tribes,
or government agencies for rehabilitation of single family
housing owned by low- and very low-income families and the
rehabilitation of rental and cooperative housing for low- and
very low-income families. $12 million is provided for this program in 2009.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The rental assistance program is authorized under section
521(a)(2) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and is
designed to reduce rent expenses for by very low-income and
low-income 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. For 2009,
the request for rental assistance grants is for one year contracts with one-year availability, with a total funding level
of $997 million. Of this, $897 million will be for traditional
rental assistance grants and $100 million will be for a new
pilot voucher program to be used in place of project based
rent on a portion of the section 515 rural rental housing
projects. For 2009, the request for new vouchers program
is for one year agreements with funding availability over twoyears. The Budget also proposes a requirement of a minimum
rent of $50 a month for all rental assistance beneficiaries
as well as voucher recipients.
From 1978 through 1991, the rental assistance program
was funded under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund. Beginning in 1992, pursuant to Credit Reform, a separate grant
account was established for this program.

assistance including advances and incentives required by the Secretary: Provided further, That if the Secretary determines that additional funds for vouchers described in this paragraph are needed,
funds for the preservation and revitalization demonstration program
may be used for such vouchers: Provided further, That if Congress
enacts legislation to permanently authorize a section 515 multi-family
rental housing loan restructuring program similar to the demonstration program described herein, the Secretary may use funds made
available for the demonstration program under this heading to carry
out such legislation with the prior approval of the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress.¿ Of the balances contained in the Multifamily Housing Revitalization Program Account,
$20,000,000 is permanently cancelled. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008.)

USDA’s portfolio of multifamily housing projects provides
housing for nearly half a million low-income families, many
of whom are elderly. Recent Federal court rulings allow
projects that received their financing prior to 1989 to prepay
and leave the program. Current law allows USDA to assist
families displaced by sponsors’ prepayments by providing
them with letters of priority and vouchers, which were newly
funded in 2006, but have been minimally used. The 2009
Budget proposes to recind $20 million in carryover balances
from the multifamily housing revitalization program account
and no funding is requested in 2009. Remaining funding may
be used for housing vouchers for residents of projects whose
sponsors prepay their outstanding indebtedness on USDA
loans and leave the program.
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.

This account funds the direct and guaranteed community
facility loans and community facility grants. Since the passage
of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of
1996 through 2007, the funding for these programs was provided as part of the Rural Community Advancement Program
(RCAP). To continue what was proposed and passed in 2008,
the 2009 Budget proposes no funding in the RCAP account
and instead, each funding stream is being appropriated separately in a new account. This is the new account for the
Community programs funding stream. 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 2009 is projected to be $512 million.

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 lowto-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.
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. The section 523 self-help
housing land development loan program is funded in this
account as of 1997.
Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include
towns, villages, and other places which are not part of an
urban area and that have a population not in excess of 2,500

inhabitants, or is in excess of 2,500 but not in excess of
10,000 if rural in character, or has a population in excess
of 10,000 but not more than 20,000 and is not within a
standard metropolitan statistical area and has a serious lack
of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers.
No funds are requested in 2009 for section 515 rural rental
housing loans. However, RHS will continue to revitalize the
existing 515 portfolio by providing multifamily housing revitalization activities funded from carryover balances.
With improvements and innovations in the banking industry, utilizing the private sector with guarantees is a more
efficient way to deliver homeownership assistance. Therefore,
no funds are requested for 502 direct single family housing
loans for 2009. Meanwhile the 502 guaranteed single family
housing loan program has been increased to $4.8 billion, as
this program is expected to replace the 502 direct loans.
For 502 guaranteed single family housing loans in 2009,
the Budget reflects a 3.0 percent fee on new loans. This fee
will enable the program to make more loans available to
serve lower income rural Americans. The guarantee fee for
the refinancing will remain at 0.5 percent.
For 538 guaranteed multifamily housing loans, the Budget
reflects that there will be no fee as well as no subsidized
interest for these loans. The Budget requests a $300 million
loan level for the program.
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.

For the 502 guarantee program, the Budget includes a general provision that allows for the guarantee fee on new 502
guaranteed loans to be increased to 3 percent from 2 percent.
This causes the loans to be less costly for the Government
without a significant additional burden to the borrowers,
given that they can finance the fee as part of the loan. This
proposal will allow funding in 2009 to be $4.8 billion for
purchase loans, an increase of over $600 million above 2008.
The increase compensates for the elimination of funding for
direct single family housing loans.

For the 538 multifamily housing guaranteed loans, the appropriations language for the Rural Housing Insurance Fund
includes a provision to block any fees or interest subsidies
on these loans. As with the 502 guaranteed loan proposal,
this also makes the loans to be less costly. It is consistent
with HUDs multifamily housing guaranteed loan program and
allows for an increased loan level of $300 million with significantly less BA than was enacted for this program in 2008.
These loans are made by private lenders at a negotiated rate
of interest. Existing law requires that USDA reduce the interest rate charged by private lenders down to the Treasury
rate for 20 percent of the loans made.

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. In 2006, the Rural Business
Service began a separate solicitation for the Small Minority
Producer Grant. These grants provide assistance to small,
minority producers through cooperatives and associations of
cooperatives.
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. No funding is requested for 2009.
Additionally, USDA provides value added marketing grants
for producers of agricultural commodities. These grants can
be used for planning activities and for working capital for
marketing value-added agricultural products. No funding is
proposed for 2009.

This account funds direct and guaranteed business and industry loans, rural business enterprise grants, and rural business opportunity grants. Since the passage of the Federal
Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 through
2007, the funding for these programs was provided as part
of the Rural Community Advancement Program (RCAP).
Starting in 2008, each funding stream was appropriated separately in a new account. This is the new account for the
Business funding stream. 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 2009.
2009 projections for loan guarantees are $700 million. No
funding is provided in this account for the rural business
enterprise grants or the rural business opportunity grants.

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.
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.
The Budget proposes no funding for this program in 2009.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond.
The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

Funding has been provided since 2001 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 budget proposes no funding in
2009.

This account funds the direct and guaranteed water and
waste disposal loans, water and waste disposal grants, emergency community water assistance grants, and solid waste
management grants. Since the passage of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 through 2007,
the funding for these programs was provided as part of the
Rural Community Advancement Program (RCAP). To continue what was proposed and passed in 2008, the 2009 Budget
proposes no funding in the RCAP account and instead, each
funding stream is being appropriated separately in new accounts. This is the new account for the Water and Wastewater
funding stream, which is the Rural Utilities Stream from
the RCAP account.
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. In 2009, the projected loan level is $1.3 billion for direct
loans and $75 million for guarantees. The 2009 direct loan
subsidy rate does not include any change in treatment for
the borrower’s interest rate for the direct loans, lowering the
subsidy rate for these loans in 2009.
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. $216
million is projected for this program in 2009.
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 2009.

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

level may be considered when Congress enacts legislation to
authorize a fee on such loans and allows RUS to implement
existing authority for recertification of the rural status of
areas served by its borrowers.
RUS will cancel loans obligated, but not disbursed, more
than ten years ago. Most electric loans obligated more than
ten years ago have either been disbursed or cancelled. However, current law prohibits the cancellation 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 cancellation of all electric
and telecommunications loan obligations that are more than
ten years old.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct
and guaranteed loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including
modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted
from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as
administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy
amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

The 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.
Since generation has been deregulated and has become a
more commercial operation, the Administration supports
using the commercial market for construction of new generation facilities. Due to this, no loan funds are provided for
the construction of new electric generation facilities. A loan

The Budget includes a proposal to replace the electric and
telecommunications loans that are financed through the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) with loans made directly through
the Treasury. FFB loans were predominant prior to 1992.
Since then Federal Credit Reform was implemented and the
need to work through the FFB has diminished. The proposed
new direct loan program would improve the operations of
USDA’s rural utility loans by simplifying the Government’s
processes while providing the same benefits and flexibilities
for the borrowers. Legislation creating the new loan program
will be sent separately.

The Rural Telephone Bank has dissolved. To accomplish
this, the Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans
were used to redeem a portion of the Government’s stock.
The Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were
transferred to the Rural Electrification and Telecommunications liquidating account in 2006.
The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) will continue to service
all loans in this account providing business management and
technical assistance to the borrowers on a regular basis over
the life of the loans.
Rural electric.—This program is financed through RUS direct loans for the construction and operation of generating
plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, all cash flows to and from the Government
resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees
committed prior to 1992. All new activity in RETRF in 1992
and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts.
The following tables reflect statistics on loans made through
the liquidating account only. Since 1992 new electric and

end of year ................................................................

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

FAS’ mission is to create economic opportunity for American
agriculture by expanding global markets. FAS serves U.S.
agriculture’s interests by expanding and maintaining international export opportunities for U.S. agricultural, fish, and
forest products, supporting international economic development and trade capacity building, and improving the Sanitary
and Phytosanitary (SPS) system to facilitate agricultural
trade. FAS’ goals are three-fold: to level the playing field
for U.S. agricultural producers and exporters in the global
marketplace, to help developing and transitioning countries
to expand their ability to sustain economic growth and trade
capacity, and to make a concerted effort to reduce technical
trade barriers and restrictive SPS measures. The outcomes
envisioned are increased access to global markets for U.S.
agricultural producers and exporters, improved ability in developing countries to sustain economic growth and benefit
from international trade, and an improved global SPS system
for facilitating agricultural trade. In addition to its Washington-based staff, the agency maintains a network of overseas offices that serve as first responders in cases of market
disruption. The overseas offices also provide critical market
and policy intelligence to support their strategic goals, and
represent U.S. agriculture in consultations with foreign governments.
Market Access.—Agricultural trade is important to America’s agricultural and food sector and contributes to the overall growth in the U.S. economy. As the global economy
changes, expansion and creation of new foreign market opportunities is critical, as is maintaining existing market access
for agricultural products. FAS monitors the enforcement of
agricultural trade agreements to ensure that U.S. agriculture
receives the full economic benefit of international trade agreements and trade rules. FAS also analyzes tariff and nontariff barriers that continue to restrict trade, and works with
other government agencies to open markets through the negotiation of trade agreements. FAS programs that contribute
to market access include the: Market Access Program (MAP),
Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops (TASC) Program,
Emerging Markets Program (EMP), and the Cochran Fellowship Program (CFP).
Trade Development.—FAS supports U.S. private sector efforts to develop and expand commercial markets through
trade-related programs which help U.S. producers and exporters realize the benefits that will flow from trade reform and
the resulting global market expansion. FAS programs that
contribute to trade development include the: MAP, TASC Program, EMP, Foreign Market Development (FMD) Program,
and Quality Samples Program which are carried out chiefly
in cooperation with non-profit agricultural trade associations
and private firms. These programs provide matching funds
to U.S. organizations to conduct a wide range of activities
including market research, consumer promotion, trade servicing, capacity building, and market access support. The
TASC Program provides grants to address sanitary,
phytosanitary, or technical barriers that prohibit or threaten
exports of U.S. specialty crops. Also, FAS administers price/
credit and risk-mitigation assistance programs designed to
leverage overseas market expansion for U.S. exporters. These

programs include the CCC Export Credit Guarantee Program,
the Export Enhancement Program and the Dairy Export Incentive Program. These programs give U.S. exporters the ability to counter export subsidies of foreign competitors and
allow U.S. exporters to compete with sales terms offered by
foreign competitors.
Trade Related Technical Assistance.—U.S. agriculture benefits from growth in global trade and a trading system that
adheres to international rules and norms. Two-thirds of World
Trade Organization members are developing countries, many
of which lack the knowledge, expertise, and regulatory and
policy frameworks to participate in the global trading system.
FAS provides trade-related technical assistance or trade and
science capacity building focused on developing capacity within governments to implement open, market-based trade policies and to regulate trade in agricultural and food products
on the basis of transparent, science-based requirements.
Trade and science capacity building supports the President’s
2002 National Security Strategy (NSS) by promoting free
trade and open markets as a way to spread economic prosperity. Food assistance programs such as the P.L. 480 Title
I Program, McGovern Dole Food for Education (FFE) and
Child Nutrition Program, Section 416(b) Program, and Food
for Progress (FFP) Program help developing countries with
humanitarian crises, economic development, or transitioning
from being food aid recipients to commercial markets. Programs that contribute to trade related technical assistance
include the: MAP, TASC Program, EMP, CFP, Borlaug Fellowship Program (BFP), FFE Program, FFP Program, and
the Section 416(b) Program. The CFP provides short-term
training in the United States for international participants
who meet with U.S. agribusiness, attend food safety seminars,
and receive technical training related to short- and long-term
market development and trade capacity building. The BFP
helps developing countries strengthen their agricultural practices through the transfer of new science and agricultural
technologies, including those related to production, processing,
and marketing. The program also addresses obstacles to the
adoption of technology, such as ineffectual policies and regulations.
SPS Issues Resolution.—Agricultural trade is unique with
respect to the risks associated with the transfer of pests and
disease. Unnecessarily restrictive regulations to address
human and animal health (sanitary) and plant health
(phytosanitary) risks are major impediments to U.S. market
access and the expansion of global agricultural trade. As tariff
barriers have been reduced, there has been a dramatic increase in non-tariff barriers to trade, particularly in the SPS
area. In spite of the SPS Agreement within the WTO, countries have relied increasingly on erecting SPS barriers as
a means to protect domestic industries in the face of quickly
growing global trade. Given the increasingly global interdependence in the flow of food and agricultural products, the
ability and willingness of foreign countries to develop and
implement sound science-based regulatory systems is also
vital to the long-term safety of U.S. agriculture and our food
supply. U.S. agriculture benefits greatly from the development
of regulatory frameworks in other countries that can address
SPS issues and technical barriers to trade in a transparent
and scientifically based manner. FAS works on several fronts
to reduce technical barriers to trade and restrictive SPS and
TBT measures. These include enforcing international SPS
rules, promoting two-way trade, encouraging adoption of
international standards, and strengthening the global SPS
regulatory framework. Programs that contribute to SPS issues
resolution include the: MAP, TASC Program, and EMP.

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 provided producers of raw commodities, who had been
adversely affected by import competition, free technical assistance and cash benefits of up to $10,000 per year.
TAA covered farmers, ranchers, fish farmers, and fishermen
competing with imported aquaculture products. It did not
cover the forest products industry.

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 emergency relief needs and address the underlying
causes of food insecurity through non-emergency programs.
The Commodity Credit Corporation (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 non-emergency assistance for least-developed countries and for urgent and extraordinary relief.
The program is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
In addition, the request includes language that would authorize the use of up to 25 percent of the P.L. 480 Title
II funds for the local or regional purchase and distribution
of food.

this account records, for the P.L. 480 Program, the subsidy
costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and
beyond (including modifications of direct loans that resulted
from obligation in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated

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.
No 2009 funding is requested for new direct credit under
Title I; however, funding for administrative expenses associated with managing the existing loan portfolio is requested.
No funding is requested for Title I ocean freight differential
for 2009.
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 introVerDate Aug 31 2005

duce and expand free enterprise elements in their agricultural
economies.
Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions
abroad (title II).— Under Public Law 480 Title II, agricultural
commodities are furnished to meet emergency relief needs
and address the underlying causes of food insecurity through
non-emergency programs. The Corporation is authorized to
pay the costs of acquisition, packaging, processing, enrichment, preservation, fortification, transportation, handling, and
other incidental costs incurred up to the time of delivery
at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight
charges, and pays transportation costs to points of entry other
than ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers
to a specific country are not available, where ports cannot
be used effectively, or where a substantial savings in costs
or time can be effected, and pays general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition, transportation
costs from designated points of entry or ports of entry abroad
to storage and distribution sites and associated storage and
distribution costs may be paid for commodities made available
to meet urgent and extraordinary relief requirements. P.L.
480 funds reimburse the Corporation for all of the cost items
authorized above.

The Food Stamp Program is the primary source of nutrition
assistance for low-income Americans.
This account also includes funds for a grant to Puerto Rico
to administer a low-income nutrition assistance program, in
lieu of the Food Stamp Program; funds to carry out the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983; and funds for food distribution and administrative expenses for Native Americans
under section 4(b) of the Food Stamp Act.
Food Stamp Program costs are not fully predictable. In
the event that actual program needs exceed budget estimates,
the Budget provides a $3 billion contingency reserve. The
Budget also proposes indefinite funding authority which
would make funds available in the last four months of the
fiscal year if program needs exceed the anticipated level.
The Budget also provides temporary transitional benefits
to help elderly households transition from the Commodity
Supplemental Food Program to the Food Stamp Program.

The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC) provides low-income at-risk pregnant and post-partum women, infants, and children with
vouchers for nutritious supplemental food packages, nutrition
education and counseling, and health and immunization referrals. This request limits growth in funding for nutrition services and administration and caps adjunctive eligibility at 250

This account funds the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), the Emergency Food Assistance Program
(TEFAP), farmers’ market nutrition programs, assistance for
the nuclear affected islands, and disaster relief.
TEFAP provides cash to support State administrative activities and to maintain the storage and distribution pipeline
for USDA and privately-donated commodities. The account
also funds two programs which provide low-income participants vouchers to purchase produce at farmers’ markets. The
Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) is funded by transfer from the Commodity Credit Corporation. The
WIC Farmers’ Market Program is funded by discretionary
appropriation.
The Budget eliminates funding for CSFP which is duplicative of the Food Stamp and WIC Programs. Resources are
provided, within the Food Stamp account to help transition
CSFP participants to those programs.
The Budget also proposes to prohibit farmers from charging
sales tax on food purchased with SFMNP benefits and to
ensure that SFMNP benefits are not considered as income
for tax purposes or for determining eligibility for any public
assistance benefit. These proposals are consistent with the
treatment of benefits in other Federal nutrition programs.

The 155 National Forests, 20 National Grasslands, and 6
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.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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; the Valles Caldera National Preserve; and law enforcement operations. These programs maintain the capability to manage natural resources
in a manner consistent with ecological principles and responsibilities.
The Budget provides full funding for the Forest Service
to meet the settlement agreement for the Northwest Forest
Plan to ensure scientifically sound, ecologically credible, and
legally responsible strategies and implementation that produces a predictable and sustainable level of timber sales and
non-timber resources, including 800 million board feet of timber offered for sale. The Budget also reflects continued use
of streamlined forest planning with authorities included in
the President’s Healthy Forests Initiative and the Healthy
Forests Restoration Act, particularly stewardship contracting.
The Budget provides for the use of an Environmental Management System, a new process that improves forest plan
implementation by institutionalizing the principles of adaptive management in Forest Service operations.
The Budget reflects the continuing emphasis on Forest
Service program performance and accountability agency-wide.
The Budget also continues 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. The Budget continues to reduce overhead, business management, and other indirect costs by onethird to improve efficiency and program delivery. Results will
improve in two ways. First, national forest operations will
continue transformation by making additional ‘‘on-the-ground’’
resources available for resource management projects that
meet the objectives of the President’s Healthy Forests Initiative by reducing indirect costs to $461 million, improving
procurement practices, and use of competitive sourcing opportunities. Secondly, program administration and execution will
continue to be enhanced through improvements in management accountability, reporting relationships, and oversight.

commitment to cooperative conservation and includes Ecosystem Services Demonstration Projects that bring new partners together with the Forest Service in a broad effort to
advance market-based conservation. Forest restoration
projects on national forests will demonstrate the value of
clean water, carbon sequestration, and other critical services
that forests provide. The Budget provides the Secretary of
Agriculture with the authority to implement up to five
projects that restore, enhance, and protect ecosystem function
on National Forest System lands, including projects that rehabilitate watersheds damaged by fire or other natural catastrophic events. Examples of management activities include
protecting water quality, restoring long-leaf pine forests, or
reducing the risk of catastrophic wildfires. Each demonstration project will be consistent with applicable land and resource management plans, comply with environmental laws

Funding provides for capital improvement and maintenance
of Forest Service assets including facilities, roads, and trails.
The program emphasizes an efficient and effective infrastructure that supports public and administrative uses; and quality
recreation experiences with minimal impact to ecosystem stability and conditions.
Capital improvement of facilities, roads and trails includes
new construction, alteration of existing assets to change the
function, and expansion of an asset to change the capacity
or to serve needs that are different from what was originally
intended. Maintenance is divided into three primary areas:
annual maintenance, deferred maintenance, and decommissioning. Deferred maintenance includes the repair, rehabilitation or replacement of the asset or components of the asset.
Facilities.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of recreation developed sites, fire, administrative, and
other (FA&O) facilities, including visitor centers, research facilities, telecommunication sites and towers, and dams. The
program also includes the acquisition of buildings and other
facilities necessary to carry out the mission of the Forest
Service. Maintenance for FA&O projects costing less than
$250,000 is financed separately through a multi-program assessment to Research, State and Private Forestry, National
Forest System, Wildland Fire Management, Land Acquisition

and the Capital Improvement and Maintenance appropriations, along with eligible Permanent and Trust Funds. The
Budget reflects a base rate for buildings plus a graduated
rate that recognizes different facility types, which together,
are limited to 4 percent of the facility replacement value
and not to exceed $7 per square foot.
Roads.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance
of the national forest road system, including bridges and terminal facilities such as parking lots, trailhead parking, camping spurs and truck turnarounds. The program also focuses
on decommissioning unneeded roads, unauthorized roads and/
or roads that are degrading the ecosystem. The agency will
continue to address the growing road system maintenance
backlog. Funding priorities are health and safety, resource
protection, and mission critical needs.
Trails.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance
of National Forest System trails. 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.
Infrastructure Improvement.— Provides for capital improvement and maintenance directed toward reducing the backlog
in deferred maintenance on National Forest System roads
and trails, as well as recreation developed sites and FA&O
facilities. Funding priorities are to ensure the safety of the
public, agency employees, volunteers and contractors.
The Budget reflects Forest Service continued use of authorities that permit the agency to apply proceeds from the sale
of excess facilities to replace other deficient facilities or perform needed rehabilitation work on existing facilities. It also
implements Program Assessment and Rating Tool (PART) recommendations and includes incentives to optimize utilization
and reduce costs. The Forest Service will develop long-term
outcome-based performance measures for roads, facilities and
trails that cover the full scope of the program, including safety, condition sustainability and environmental suitability, utilization, and mission dependency; improve overall facilities,
roads and trails data quality and ensure that condition assessment surveys are accurate and drive management decisions regarding the construction, use, maintenance or decommissioning, and disposal of these assets; and develop and
implement a strategy to prioritize road, facility and trail improvements that reflect the Federal Real Property Council
tree for investment strategies as a common criteria for setting
asset priorities in addressing the deferred maintenance backlog. Through the efforts, the Budget enables the Forest Service to improve road and trail conditions and meet its goal
of reducing facility deferred maintenance by 25 percent by
2010.
