GENERAL NOTES
1. All years referenced for budget data are fiscal years unless otherwise noted. All years referenced for economic data are calendar years unless otherwise noted.
2. At the time of this writing, none of the full-year appropriations bills for 2018 have been enacted, therefore,
the programs and activities normally provided for in the full-year appropriations bills were operating under a
continuing resolution (Public Law 115-56, division D, as amended). In addition, the Additional Supplemental
Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2017 (Public Law 115-72, division A) provided additional appropriations for 2018 for certain accounts within the Departments of Agriculture, Homeland Security,
and the Interior. The Department of Defense Missile Defeat and Defense Enhancements Appropriations Act,
2018 (Public Law 115-96, division B) also provided additional appropriations for 2018 for certain accounts
within the Department of Defense. Accordingly, references to 2018 spending in the text and tables reflect the
levels provided by the continuing resolution and, if applicable, Public Laws 115-72 (division A) and 115-96
(division B).
3. The Budget does not incorporate the effects of Public Law 115-120, including the reauthorization of the
Children’s Health Insurance Program and amendments to the tax code in that law.
4. Detail in this document may not add to the totals due to rounding.

DETAILED BUDGET ESTIMATES

DETAILED BUDGET ESTIMATES
The Budget Appendix contains various tables and schedules in
support of the Budget. It includes explanations of the work to be
performed and the money needed. It includes the language proposed for enactment by the Congress on each item that requires
congressional action in an appropriations bill. It also contains
the language proposed for the general provisions of appropriations
Acts that apply to entire agencies or groups of agencies. The
"Budget Concepts" chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume
explains the terms and budget concepts used throughout the
Budget.

ARRANGEMENT
The second chapter in the Appendix presents general provisions
of law that apply to all Government activities (see explanation
below). Chapters for the Legislative Branch and the Judiciary
follow. These are succeeded by chapters for the Executive Branch.
The cabinet departments appear first in alphabetical order and
are followed by the larger non-departmental agencies, such as
Other Defense—Civil Programs, and the Executive Office of the
President. The remaining small agencies are listed under the
heading Other Independent Agencies. If the amounts in the individual accounts for other independent agencies are below the
million dollar reporting threshold applicable to data in the Appendix, the data are consolidated into a single set of schedules
under "Other Commissions and Boards." Appropriations language
for these agencies is presented individually under the same
heading.
A section for a large agency is usually organized by major subordinate organizations within the agency (usually bureaus) or
by major program area (such as military personnel in the Department of Defense).
Within each bureau or major program area, accounts usually
appear in the following order:
—general fund accounts;
—special fund accounts;
—public enterprise revolving funds;

—intragovernmental revolving funds and management funds;
—credit reform accounts, in the following order: program account, financing account, and liquidating account;
—trust funds; and
—trust revolving funds.
By law, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance and Disability
Insurance trust funds (Social Security) are outside the budget
totals. These accounts are presented in the Social Security Administration section. Also, by law, the Postal Service Fund is
outside the budget totals. A presentation for the Fund is included
in the Other Independent Agencies section.
General provisions are provisions in appropriations Acts that
apply to more than one appropriation. They usually appear in
separate titles of the appropriations Acts. The proposed language
for general provisions of appropriations Acts that are applicable
to one agency appear at the end of the section for that agency.
When they apply only to the appropriations for two or more
agencies covered by the Act, they will appear at the end of the
section for one of those agencies. The Government-wide general
provisions apply to all appropriations Government-wide.
The following table indicates the location of all general provisions. The first column of the table lists the most recently enacted
appropriations and the major agencies responsible for programs
funded by each Act. The second column provides the location of
the general provisions that apply to the agencies listed in the
first column. The general provisions that are Government-wide
in scope (identified as "Departments, Agencies, and Corporations")
contained in the Financial Services and General Government
Appropriations Act, appear in a separate chapter following this
one. At the time the President's 2019 Budget request was developed, none of the full-year appropriations bills for 2018 had
been enacted. Therefore, the programs and activities normally
provided for in the full-year appropriations bills were operating
under a continuing resolution for fiscal year 2018 (Division D of
Public Law 115–56, as amended). The continuing resolution
carried forward the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017
(Public Law 115–31).

FORM OF DETAILED MATERIAL
APPROPRIATIONS LANGUAGE

The language proposed for inclusion in the 2019 appropriations
Acts appears following the account title, and the amounts are
stated in dollars. Accounts included in the enacted 2018 appropriations bills are printed in roman type as a base. Bolded
brackets enclose material that is proposed for deletion; italic type
indicates proposed new language. The citation to the specific
appropriations Act from which the basic text of the 2018 language
is taken appears at the end of the final language paragraph,
printed in italic type within parentheses. If an appropriation is
being proposed for the first time for an account assumed to be
covered by these bills in 2019, all of the language is printed in
italics. An illustration of proposed appropriations language for
2019 follows:

Department of Homeland Security

Department of the Interior
Department of the Interior
Department of the Interior
Department of the Interior

Department of Labor
Department of Health and Human Services
Department of Education
Department of Labor
Legislative Branch

Department of Defense
Department of Veterans Affairs

Department of State and Other International Programs
Department of State and Other International Programs

Department of Transportation
Department of Housing and Urban Development

The 2017 column of the budget presents the actual transactions
and balances for that year, as recorded in agency accounts.
For 2018, the regular schedules include the enacted appropriations. They may also include indefinite appropriations on the
basis of amounts likely to be required.
The 2019 column of the regular schedules includes proposed
appropriations for all programs.
Amounts for proposed new legislation are shown generally in
separate schedules, following the regular schedules or in budget
sequence in the respective bureau. These schedules are identified
as "Legislative proposals, subject to PAYGO" or "Legislative
proposals not subject to PAYGO." The term "PAYGO" refers to
the "pay-as-you-go" requirements of the Statutory Pay-As-YouGo Act of 2010 (2 U.S.C. 931–39). Appropriations language is
included with the regular schedule, but usually not with the
separate schedules for proposed legislation. Usually the necessary
appropriations language is transmitted later upon enactment of
the proposed legislation.

BOARD OF VETERANS APPEALS
PROGRAM AND FINANCING SCHEDULE

For necessary operating expenses of the Board of Veterans Appeals, $174,748,000, of which not to exceed 10 percent shall remain
available until September 30, 2020.
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not
enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, the
budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended).
The amounts included for 2018 reflect the annualized level
provided by the continuing resolution.

BASIS FOR SCHEDULES

Dollar amounts in Appendix schedules are stated in millions,
unless otherwise specified.

This schedule provides the following information:
—obligations by program activity;
—budgetary resources;
—change in obligated balance; and
—budget authority and outlays, net.
The "Obligations by program activity" section shows obligations
for specific activities or projects. The activity structure is developed for each appropriation or fund account to provide a
meaningful presentation of information for the program. Where
the amounts are significant, this section distinguishes between
operating expenses and capital investment and between direct
and reimbursable programs. The last entry, "Total new obligations, unexpired accounts" indicates the amount of budgetary
resources required to finance the activities of the account.

DETAILED BUDGET ESTIMATES

The "Budgetary resources" section shows the budgetary resources available or estimated to be available to finance the obligations. The resources available for obligation include the startof-year unobligated balances of prior year's resources that have
not expired, new budget authority, and adjusting entries, such
as recoveries from prior year obligations. This section provides
detailed information on the total new budget authority (gross)
available to finance the program. It includes information on the
type of budget authority that is available, reductions, and
amounts precluded from obligation. It indicates whether the
budget authority is discretionary (controlled by appropriations
Acts) or mandatory (controlled by other laws).
The "Change in obligated balance" section shows components
of the change in obligated balances from the start to the end of
the year. The two components of the obligated balance—unpaid
obligations and uncollected payments from Federal sources—are
presented separately. New obligations are added to the obligations
that were incurred in a previous year but not liquidated. Total
disbursements to liquidate obligations (outlays, gross) are subtracted from these amounts. Adjusting entries, such as adjustments in expired accounts and recoveries of prior year unpaid
obligations, are included as appropriate, resulting in the end-ofyear obligated balance.
The "Budget authority and outlays, net" section bridges from
gross budget authority and outlays to net budget authority and
outlays. The section presents discretionary and mandatory
amounts separately and indicates whether the outlays pertain
to balances or new authority. It also indicates the amounts to be
deducted from gross budget authority and outlays and the resulting net budget authority and outlay amounts. Offsetting collections (cash) and the change in uncollected payments from Federal
sources are deducted from gross budget authority; only offsetting
collections (cash) are deducted from gross outlays.
A schedule titled "Summary of Budget Authority and Outlays"
immediately follows the first program and financing schedule for
any account that has additional program and financing schedules
for supplemental requests, legislative proposals, or current year
cancellation proposals.
NARRATIVE STATEMENT OF PROGRAM AND PERFORMANCE

Narrative statements present briefly the objectives of the program and the work to be financed primarily for 2019. They may
include measures of expected performance and describe a relationship to the financial estimates.
SCHEDULE OF OBJECT CLASSIFICATION AND EMPLOYMENT
SUMMARY

Object classes reflect the nature of the things or services purchased, regardless of the purpose of the program for which they
are used. Object class entry 11.9, "Total personnel compensation"
sums the amounts in object classes 11.1 through 11.8. Except for
revolving funds, reimbursable obligations are aggregated in a
single line and not identified by object class. Amounts for any
object class that are below the reporting threshold (i.e., amounts
that are $500 thousand or less) are reported together as a single
entry. If all of the obligations for an account are in a single object
class, the schedule is omitted and the object class code is printed
in the Program and Financing Schedule on the "Total new obligations, unexpired accounts" line.
When obligations for personnel compensation are shown in the
object classification schedule, an employment summary generally
follows the object classification schedule.
Federal civilian employment generally is stated on a full-time
equivalent (FTE) basis. It is the total number of hours worked

(or to be worked) divided by the number of compensable hours
applicable to each fiscal year.
BALANCE SHEETS

Balance sheets are presented for all direct and guaranteed loan
liquidating and financing accounts and most Governmentsponsored enterprises.
The balance sheets show assets, liabilities, and equity for the
fund at the close of each fiscal year. In addition to this information, which is similar to commercial balance sheet data, budget
needs also require additional information, such as appropriated
capital, which is shown in the equity section. The amounts in the
2016 column are audited.
FEDERAL CREDIT SCHEDULES

Federal credit programs provide benefits to the public in the
form of direct loans and loan guarantees. The Federal Credit
Reform Act of 1990 (2 U.S.C. 661–661f)requires that the costs of
direct and guaranteed loans of a program be calculated on a net
present value basis, excluding administrative costs. For most
programs, direct loan obligations and loan guarantee commitments cannot be made unless appropriations for the cost have
been provided in advance in annual appropriations Acts. Annual
limitations on the amount of obligations and commitments may
also be enacted in appropriations language. For additional information on Federal Credit Reform Act accounts, see below.
Appropriations for the costs of direct loans and loan guarantees
are recorded as budget authority in credit program accounts. The
administrative expenses associated with a credit program are
also recorded in the program account, but on a cash basis. All
cash flows to and from the public arising from direct loan obligations and loan guarantee commitments are recorded in separate
financing accounts. The transactions of the financing accounts
are not included in the budget totals. Program accounts make
subsidy payments, recorded as budget outlays, to the financing
accounts at the time of the disbursement of the direct or guaranteed loans.
The transactions associated with direct loan obligations and
loan guarantee commitments made prior to 1992 continue to be
accounted for on a cash flow basis and are recorded in liquidating
accounts. In most cases, the liquidating account is the account
that was used for the program prior to the enactment of the new
requirements.
Program and Financing schedules (described above) are shown
for program, financing, and liquidating accounts. In addition, a
Summary of Loan Levels, Subsidy Budget Authority, and Outlays
by Program schedule is shown for program accounts. This
schedule displays credit program information at the risk category
level. Status of Direct Loans and Status of Guaranteed Loans
schedules (as applicable) are shown for financing accounts and
liquidating accounts. Summary information on Federal credit
programs is provided in the chapter titled "Credit and Insurance''
in the Analytical Perspectives volume of the Budget.
SPECIAL AND TRUST FUND RECEIPTS SCHEDULE

This schedule is printed for special fund and trust fund accounts
to show the amount of receipts that are credited to them. It also
shows any balances of unappropriated receipts or receipts that
are only available for investment or precluded from obligation
because of a provision of law, such as a benefit formula or limitation on obligations. When present, it appears after the appropriation language, but before the Program and Financing schedule
for the account.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

STATUS OF FUNDS SCHEDULE

This schedule reports balances, cash income, and cash outgo
for major trust funds and certain other accounts. It also includes
outstanding debt for certain funds. When present, it appears
after the narrative statement for the account.
GENERAL FUND RECEIPT ACCOUNTS SCHEDULE

This schedule shows the amount of receipts attributed to an
agency that are credited to the general fund of the Treasury. It
is printed at the end of the presentation for the agency, before
any general provisions.
ALLOCATIONS BETWEEN AGENCIES

In some cases, funds appropriated to the President or to an
agency are allocated to one or more agencies that help to carry
out a program. Obligations incurred under such allocations are
included in the data for the account to which the appropriation
is made in the allocating agency. The object classification schedule
for such accounts identifies the amount of such obligations by
performing agency. A note at the end of a bureau or equivalent
grouping identifies allocations received from other agencies.
FEDERAL CREDIT REFORM ACT ACCOUNTS
PROGRAM ACCOUNTS

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 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.
DIRECT LOAN FINANCING ACCOUNTS

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this nonbudgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Government resulting from direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond

(including modifications of direct loans that resulted from obligations in any year). The amounts in this account are a means of
financing and are not included in the budget totals.
GUARANTEED LOAN FINANCING ACCOUNTS

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this nonbudgetary account records all cash flows to and from the Government resulting from loan guarantees committed in 1992 and
beyond (including modifications of loan guarantees that resulted
from commitments in any year). The amounts in this account are
a means of financing and are not included in the budget totals.
BUDGETS FOR OFFICES OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The "separate statement of the budget estimate" for each Office
of Inspector General, referenced in section 6(f)(3)(A) of the Inspector General Act of 1978 ("the Act"; 5 U.S.C. App.), is included
in the respective congressional justification for that Office. In
addition, the Office of the Inspector General for the Department
of Justice, the Office of the Inspector General for the United
States Agency for International Development, the Office of the
Inspector General for the Environmental Protection Agency, the
Office of the Inspector General for the United States Postal Service, and the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset
Relief Program have each submitted comments setting forth their
respective conclusions that this Budget's request for their offices
"would substantially inhibit the Inspector General from performing the duties of the office" under section 6(f)(3)(E) of the Act.
These comments are included in the congressional justification
for each agency.
BUDGETS NOT SUBJECT TO REVIEW

In accordance with law or established practice, the presentations
for the Legislative Branch, the Judiciary, the Milk Market Orders
Assessment Fund of the Department of Agriculture, and the International Trade Commission have been included, without review, in the amounts submitted by the agencies.
The budgets of the privately owned Government-sponsored enterprises and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System are not subject to review. Data for these entities are included for information purposes only.

Section 415 of the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA) established
"an account of the Office in the Treasury of the United States for the payment of awards and settlements under this Act,'' and further authorized to
be appropriated "such sums as may be necessary to pay such awards and
settlements.'' Section 415 stipulated that awards and settlements under the
CAA should only be paid from that account, which was to be kept separate
from the operating expenses account of the Office of Compliance.
The Legislative Branch Appropriations Acts have appropriated funds for
awards and settlements under the CAA by means of the following language:
Such sums as may be necessary are appropriated to the account described
in subsection (a) of section 415 of Public Law 104–1 to pay awards and
settlements as authorized under such subsection.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) was established as a non-partisan
office of Congress by Title II of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (2 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). CBO provides objective
economic and budgetary analysis and information to assist Congress in the
fulfillment of its responsibilities. That information includes forecasts of
the economy, analyses of economic trends and alternative fiscal policies,
long-term projections of Federal spending and revenue, and, upon request,
studies on budget-related issues. In addition, CBO provides Congress with
multi-year cost estimates for reported bills, as well as analyses of the costs
of state, local, tribal, or private sector mandates.

The Judiciary Office Building Development Act, Public Law 100–480,
among other purposes, authorized the Architect of the Capitol to contract
for the design and construction of a building adjacent to Union Station in
the District of Columbia to be leased to the Judicial Branch of the United
States. This schedule reflects the costs associated with the construction of
the building. Costs of construction were financed by an initial $125 million
of Federal agency debt (sales price less unamortized discount) issued in
1989.
Estimates prepared by the Legislative Branch assumed the financial arrangements to be a lease-purchase, which would distribute outlays associated with acquisition of the building over a period of thirty years. However,
the arrangements involve Federally guaranteed financing and other characteristics that make them substantively the same as direct Federal construction, financed by direct Federal borrowing.
Estimates shown are consistent with the requirements of the Budget Enforcement Act and are presented with the agreement of the Budget and
Appropriations Committees.

management of the library's mission to support the Congress in fulfilling
its constitutional duties and to further the progress of knowledge and creativity for the benefit of the American people. It also ensures that the Library's infrastructure provides the necessary services and compliance with
statutory and regulatory requirements in the areas of human capital, budget
and finance, contracts and grants, information technology, facilities logistics, asset management and protection, emergency preparedness, and personnel security, health, and safety. The Librarian of Congress, Deputy
Librarian of Congress, and Chief Operating Officer provide executive
management to the Library service units.
Library Services.— Library Services acquires, organizes, provides access
to, maintains, secures, and preserves the Library's collections, which document the history and further the creativity of the American people as well
as record and contribute to the advancement of civilization and knowledge
throughout the world.

that raise the awareness of the American people, and the world, about the
Library's vast collections. It serves the public and contributes directly to
the nation's educational and intellectual life through programs and scholarly
activities that interpret and promote the Library's resources and the use of
its unparalleled collections onsite and online access via the internet. It also
supports literacy programs, creates partnerships for digital collaboration,
catalyzes public-private partnership networks to jointly sustain at-risk
cultural heritage content, and administers a national program to provide
reading material for blind and physically handicapped residents of the
United States, its outlying areas, and for U.S. citizens residing abroad,
circulating at no cost to users approximately 21 million items a year. It
oversees the preservation of sound and film material of national significance, and administers two high profile Library events: the Gershwin Prize
for Popular Song and the National Book Festival. It manages programs
that deliver fee-based services to other federal agencies or to the public. It
also oversees the Library's national programs for education outreach, encouraging kindergarten through twelfth grade educational use of the Library's online primary sources.
Law Library.—The Law Library of Congress (Law Library) is the world's
largest law and legislative library. Its primary mission is to provide the
United States Congress, Executive Branch agencies, federal courts, the
legal community, and others with legal research and/or reference services
in U.S., foreign, international, and comparative law. The Law Library's
core research capacity includes foreign and U.S. trained attorneys and librarians. Reference staff and foreign legal specialists utilize the Law Library's
unparalleled collection of domestic, foreign and international legal materials, from more than 240 foreign and international jurisdictions. The collection consists of authoritative legal sources in original languages, with more
than 2.92 million volumes and 3 million micro-format items. The Law
Library acquires, maintains, organizes, preserves, and provides access to
a comprehensive legal collection in both print and digital formats, and
draws on technology to make the collection accessible through various
systems and online interfaces. The Law Library is a key player in developing and maintaining the currency of content in Congress.gov, the authoritative legislative information system for the Congress and the public. The
Law Library also develops electronic information products that provide
access to historical and contemporary legal legislative, administrative, and
judicial documents. The Law Library creates research and collection guides
focusing on legal research techniques, issues, and events. Ensuring accuracy,
authenticity, authoritativeness, and comprehensiveness of legal documents
is a challenge the Law Library manages on a daily basis, enabling the
highest quality of objective research and maintaining a legal collection
encompassing countries and regions of strategic importance to the Congress.
Office of the Inspector General.—The Office of the Inspector General
(OIG) functions within the Library of Congress as an independent, objective
office with authority to: conduct and supervise audits and investigations
relating to the Library; provide leadership and coordination in recommend-

ing policies to promote economy, efficiency, and effectiveness; and inform
the Librarian of Congress and the Congress fully about problems and deficiencies related to the administration and operations of the Library. The
OIG specializes in auditing and analyzing the design of and compliance
with the Library's systems of internal control, with special emphasis on
deterring waste, fraud, and abuse. Through its audit operation it recommends
corrective actions to improve financial, operational, technological, and
managerial activities. In its investigative capacity, it performs administrative, civil, and criminal investigations concerning fraud, conflict of interest,
and other misconduct involving Library employees, contractors, and
grantees. As part of its oversight role, OIG continually reviews and provides
recommendations about the effects of existing and proposed legislation
and Library policies. The OIG also coordinates relationships within the
Library and with outside organizations regarding OIG matters. The designed
objective of the office's efforts is to assist the Library in accomplishing its
mission in the most effective and efficient manner.
Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO).—The IT vision of the
Library of Congress is to deliver continuous uninterrupted digital services
and enable the Congress and the American people to make maximal use
of the Library's resources and services. The Office of the Chief Information
Officer (OCIO), via the IT domain, manages IT as a strategic resource
across the Library by providing the IT strategic direction, leadership, services, and capabilities that deliver the IT vision of the Library of Congress.
OCIO's goals are to provide strategic direction and leadership for IT, deliver
business-driven capabilities, improve IT investment management, and
strengthen protection for IT systems and information. OCIO will set a path
to optimize existing Information Technology (IT) resources and integrate
advanced technology to support the daily work for the Congress, the creative
community, the Library's service units, and the public.

Congress NCSF may be used directly for the purpose of preparing collection
materials of the Library of Congress for long-term storage, and the Librarian may transfer amounts to the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) for the
purpose of designing, constructing, altering, upgrading, and equipping
collections preservation and storage facilities for the Library of Congress,

from available amounts appropriated for any fiscal year (starting with
fiscal year 2017 and each succeeding fiscal year) for the Library of Congress
under the heading Salaries and Expenses. Any amounts in the NCSF shall

The U.S. Copyright Office (USCO) operates the largest database of
copyrighted works and copyright ownership information in the world, and
through its work contributes significantly to the development of the copyright law, the national economy, and the cultural heritage of the United
States. Approximately sixty percent of the USCO's Basic operations are
funded by fees paid by authors and other copyright owners for services
rendered, and the remainder is funded by appropriated dollars. The amount
requested is more than offset by projected fee receipts plus the value of
books and other materials deposited with the USCO in accordance with
the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. subsections 407 and 408) and transferred
annually to the Library of Congress for its permanent collections. The receipts and obligations for 2017, and estimates for 2018 and 2019 are as

al copyright information to the public; administering the mandatory deposit
provision of the Copyright Act, which provides books, films, sound recordings, and other works for possible inclusion in Library of Congress collections; providing expert advice to Congress, executive agencies, and the
courts on domestic and international copyright law and policy; and participating in international discussions and negotiations regarding copyright

occurs after deduction of administrative costs incurred by the Division and
by the Copyright Royalty Judges, as specified by this appropriation. The
Licensing Division is fully funded directly from the royalties and filing
fees collected, making it self-supporting with no tax dollars used for this
operation.
Copyright Royalty Judges (CRJ).—The Copyright Royalty Judges and

The Public Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents
operate under a separate appropriation that provides funds (salaries and
expenses) for: (1) the distribution of certain tangible publications to
Members of Congress and other Government agencies, as authorized by
law; (2) the distribution of Government publications to designated Federal
depository libraries, as authorized by law, including tangible Government
information products and online access to more than 1.5 million titles via
GPO's govinfo (www.govinfo.gpo), formerly called Federal Digital System
(FDsys); (3) the compilation of catalogs and indexes of Government publications, as authorized by law; and (4) the distribution of Federal Government publications to foreign governments via the International Exchange
Service. These four functions are related to the publication activity of
Federal agencies and the demands of the public, Members of Congress,
and depository libraries. Following is a description of these four functions:
Distribution for other Government agencies and Members of Congress
(By-Law Distribution).—The Public Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents maintain mailing lists and distribute, at the request
of Government agencies and Members of Congress, certain publications
specified by public law.
Federal Depository Library Program.—Established by Congress to ensure
the American public has access to its Government's information, the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) involves the acquisition and
dissemination of Government information in all formats to Federal depository libraries across the country.
The mission of the FDLP is to coordinate with depository libraries, more
than 1,150 nationwide, to disseminate information products from all three
branches of the Government. Libraries that have been designated as Federal
depositories maintain these information products (as provided by GPO) as
part of their existing collections and are responsible for assuring that the
public has free access to the material provided by the FDLP.
Included in this program is the maintenance and expansion of free, electronic access to information products produced by the Federal Government
via govinfo. Electronic information dissemination and access have greatly
expanded the number of publications offered to the Federal depository
libraries as well as increasing public use of the FDLP content. As the FDLP
continues its transition to a primarily electronic program, the costs of the
program are increasingly related to identifying, acquiring, cataloging,
linking to, authenticating, modernizing, and providing permanent public
access to digital Government information.
Cataloging and indexing.—The Public Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents are charged with preparing catalogs and indexes
of all publications issued by the Federal Government that are not confidential in character. The principal publication is the web-based "Catalog of
U.S. Government Publications" (CGP) (www.catalog.gpo.gov). GPO's
goal is to expand the CGP to a more comprehensive title listing of public

LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

documents, both historic and electronic, to increase the visibility and use
of Government information products.
International Exchange Service (IES).—Under the direction of the Library
of Congress (LC), the Public Information Programs of the Superintendent
of Documents distributes tangible Government publications to foreign
governments that agree to send the United States similar publications of
their governments for LC collections.

All GPO activities are financed through the agency's Business Operations
Revolving Fund, established by section 309 of Title 44, U.S.C. This business-like fund is used to pay all GPO costs in performing congressional
and agency publishing, printing and information product procurement, and
publications dissemination activities. It is reimbursed from payments from
customer agencies, sales to the public, and transfers from GPO's two annual
appropriations: the Congressional Publishing Appropriation and the Public
Information Programs of the Superintendent of Documents Appropriation.
Reimbursements to the Fund from appropriations constitute approximately
13.1% of GPO's annual revenues; the balance is generated by reimbursements from customer agencies for work performed, sales of publications
and information products to the public, and miscellaneous sales of scrap,
waste, and surplus property. The largest single component of GPO's annual
expenses is publishing work procured from the private sector. In FY 2017,
the cost of this work totaled $307.4 million, or about 37% of total expenses.
The second largest component was personnel compensation and benefits.
These totaled $216.8 million, or about 26% of all expenses. GPO's Business
Operations Revolving Fund functions as the agency's checking account
with the U.S. Treasury. GPO pays its expenses from this account and the
Fund is reimbursed when the Treasury Department transfers money from
customer agency appropriations accounts to the Fund when they pay GPO's
invoices. This procedure also applies to the payment of transfers from the

Congressional Publishing and Public Information Programs appropriations,
and to deposits of funds collected from sales to the public. GPO maintains
a cash balance in the Business Operations Revolving Fund that is used to
pay all expenses. The cash balance fluctuates daily as payments are received
from agency reimbursements, customer payments, and transfers from GPO
appropriations. Under GPO's system of accrual accounting, annual earnings
generated since the inception of the Fund have been accumulated as retained
earnings. Retained earnings make it possible for GPO to fund a significant
amount of technology modernization. However, appropriations for essential
investments in technology and facilities upgrades are requested when necessary. GPO is accountable for its finances. Each year, the agency's finances and financial controls are audited by an independent outside audit
firm working under contract with GPO's Office of Inspector General. For
FY 2017, the audit concluded with GPO earning an unmodified, or clean,
opinion on its finances, the 21st consecutive year GPO has earned such an
audit result.

The United States Tax Court (referred to herein as the Tax Court or Court)
was established in 1969 under Article I of the United States Constitution.
The Court's jurisdiction is established by U.S. Code Title 26 (the Internal
Revenue Code). The Court is a court of law, which the Supreme Court has
said closely resembles the Federal District Courts and solely exercises judicial powers. It is also a court of national jurisdiction and conducts trial
sessions in 74 cities throughout the United States.
The Tax Court is independent of the Executive and Legislative Branches.
It is not affiliated with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It is one of three
courts in which taxpayers can bring suit to contest IRS liability determinations, and the only one in which taxpayers can do so without prepaying
any portion of the disputed taxes.
By law, the Tax Court is authorized 19 judges who, among themselves,
elect one as Chief Judge. Judges are appointed to 15-year terms by the
President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. Retired (also
known as Senior) judges may be recalled by the Chief Judge to perform
judicial duties. The Chief Judge is also authorized to appoint special trial
judges who have statutory authority to decide several categories of cases,
including cases involving up to $50,000 in dispute per tax year. Decisions
by the Tax Court are reviewable by the United States Courts of Appeals
and, if certiorari is granted, by the Supreme Court.

The Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC)
is a non-partisan legislative branch agency that provides policy and data
analysis and makes recommendations to Congress, the Secretary of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the states on a wide
array of issues affecting Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance
Program (CHIP). The U.S. Comptroller General appoints MACPAC's 17
commissioners, who come from diverse regions across the United States
and bring broad expertise and a wide range of perspectives on Medicaid
and CHIP.
MACPAC serves as an independent source of information on Medicaid
and CHIP, publishing issue briefs and data reports throughout the year to
support policy analysis and program accountability. The Commission's
authorizing statute, 42 U.S.C. 1396, outlines a number of areas for analysis,
including: payment; eligibility; enrollment and retention; coverage; access
to care; quality of care; and the programs' interaction with Medicare and
the health care system generally.
MACPAC's authorizing statute also requires the Commission to submit
reports to Congress by March 15 and June 15 of each year. In carrying out
its work, the Commission holds public meetings and regularly consults
with state officials, congressional and executive branch staff, beneficiaries,
health care providers, researchers, and policy experts.

U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission.—Congress
created the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission in
2000 in the National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 106–398 as
amended by Division P of the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution,
2003 (Public Law 108–7), as amended by Public Law 109–108 (November
10, 2005), as amended by Public Law 113–291 (December 19, 2014). The
statute gives the Commission the mandate to monitor, investigate, and assess
the "national security implications of the bilateral trade and economic relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China.''
Its members are appointed by Congressional leaders, and its statutory
mandate is to report to Congress on Chinese proliferation practices; the
qualitative and quantitative effects of transfers of U.S. economic production
activities to China; the effects of the need for energy on China's foreign
and military policies and the impact of China's growing economy on world
energy resources; foreign investment by the U.S. in China, and China's
foreign investment in the U.S.; the military plans, strategy, doctrine and
structure of China's military; strategic economic and security implications
of China's cyber capabilities and operations; China's national budget, fiscal
policy, monetary policy, and currency management practices; the drivers,
nature, and implications of China's growing economic, technological,
political, cultural, people-to-people, and security relations of China with
other countries and international organizations; China's compliance with
its commitments to the World Trade Organization and other bilateral and
multilateral agreements; the implications of China's restrictions on freedom
of expression; and the safety of food, drug, and other products imported
from China. The Commission reports annually on these issues to the Congress, making recommendations for policy action and legislation when
appropriate. In order to obtain new information and perspectives on these
issues, the Commission conducts hearings throughout the year and maintains
a website containing the records of these proceedings as well as original
research on economic and security matters related to the Commission's
statutory mandate.
The Commission is comprised of 12 Commissioners, 3 Commissioners
appointed by each leader in the House and Senate, supported by a professional staff numbering approximately 18. The chairmanship of the Commission rotates between a Republican and a Democratic Commissioner
upon issuance of each annual report to Congress.

This presentation includes the following:
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.—The Commission
on Security and Cooperation in Europe is authorized and directed to
monitor the acts of the signatories which reflect compliance with or violation of the articles of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and
Cooperation in Europe, with particular regard to the provisions relating
to Cooperation in Humanitarian Fields. The law establishing the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe also mandated it to monitor
and encourage U.S. Government and private activities designed to expand
East-West trade and the exchange of people and ideas. The Commission
will receive an annual report from the Secretary of State discussing the
overall United States policy objectives that are advanced through meetings
of decision-making bodies of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the OSCE implementation review process, and
other activities of the OSCE.
Congressional-Executive Commission on the People's Republic of
China.—Congress created the Congressional-Executive Commission on
the People's Republic of China (CECC) in 2000 by passing Title III of
P.L. 106–286, the China Relations Act of 2000. The statute gives the
Commission the mandate to monitor the Chinese government's compliance
with international human rights standards and to track the development
of the rule of law in China. The Commission reports annually on these
issues to the President and the Congressional leadership, making recommendations for policy action and legislation when appropriate. The CECC
was also charged with creating and maintaining a registry of victims of
human rights abuses in China, including prisoners of conscience. The
CECC conducts hearings and staff-led issues roundtables throughout the
year and maintains a website containing the records of these proceedings,
as well as other information about human rights and rule of law issues
in China. The CECC seeks to be a resource on these issues for Capitol
Hill, the NGO community, the academic world, and the general public.
The Commission comprises nine Senators, nine Members of the House
of Representatives, and five Executive Branch officials, supported by a
professional staff numbering about 15 people. The chairmanship of the
CECC rotates from the Senate to the House in even-numbered Congresses.
Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission.—The Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial Commission was created by Congress in 1999 by Public
Law 106–79. The Commission's congressional mandate is to establish
an appropriate, permanent national memorial to Dwight D. Eisenhower,
who served as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe in
World War II and subsequently as 34th President of the United States.
The Commission's enabling legislation dictates that a memorial should
be created in the nation's capital to perpetuate his memory and his contributions to the United States. The Commission is bipartisan and consists
of 12 members. Four members are members of the House of Representatives, four are Senators, and four are private citizens appointed by the
President. The Commission is led by Senator Pat Roberts (Chair) and
Congressman Mike Thompson (Vice Chair). Its work on building the
memorial since 2001 has been informed by the active participation of the

Eisenhower family, expert historians, along with input from members of
Congress and federal review agencies. The review agencies have expressed broad support for the design and will soon consider the final
design adjustments. Beginning construction in FY 2017, and with additional federal funds for construction, the memorial is scheduled to be
completed in 2020, the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Its
swift completion will allow an opportunity for our remaining World War
II heroes to honor Eisenhower, their commander in Europe. In P.L.
114–223, Congress reinstituted the authority for the Commission to execute phased construction with available funds. The original language
authorizing phased construction with available funds is included in P.L.
112–74. The project is shovel-ready.
World War I Centennial Commission.—The World War I Centennial
Commission was created by Congress in 2013 by P.L. 112–272, and
amended in 2014 by P.L. 113–291 to ensure a suitable observance of the
centennial of World War I, which ushered in the 'American Century'. It
began the advance of the rights of women and minorities in the U.S., and
sowed the seeds for international conflicts for a century, many of which
are ongoing today. America's support of Great Britain, France, Belgium,
and its other allies in World War I marked the first time in United States
history that American soldiers went abroad in defense of liberty against
foreign aggression. 4.7 million men and women from the United States
served in uniform during World War I, among them 2 future presidents,
Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Two million individuals
from the United States served overseas during World War I, including
200,000 naval personnel who served on the seas. The United States
suffered 375,000 casualties during World War I, including 116,516 deaths,
more than in the Korean War and Vietnam War combined. The centennial
of World War I offers an opportunity for people in the United States to
learn about and commemorate the sacrifices of their predecessors. Commemorative programs, activities, and sites allow them to learn about the
history of World War I, the United States involvement in that war, and
the war's effects on the remainder of the 20th and into the 21st century,
and to commemorate and honor the participation of the United States and
its citizens in the war effort. Congress also redesignated Pershing Park
in the District of Columbia as a 'World War I Memorial', and authorized
The Commission to plan, develop, and execute ceremonies for that redesignation, and for the enhancement of the General Pershing Commemorative Work by constructing an World War I Memorial containing appropriate sculptural and other commemorative elements, including landscaping, to further honor the service of members of the United States Armed
Forces in World War I. Although the Commission is scheduled to sunset
in July of 2019, P.L. 113–291 provides for continuation of the Commission to enable completion of the World War I Memorial under section
3091(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
The Commission is bipartisan and consists of 12 private citizens; 6 are
appointed by the Congress, 3 are appointed by the President, 1 each is
appointed by the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, MO,
the VFW, and the American Legion. The Commission is augmented by
ex-officio members and advisors: The Archivist of the United States, The
Librarian of Congress, The Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, The
Secretary of Education, The Secretary of State, The Secretary of Veterans
Affairs, The Administrator of General Services, The Department of Defense, The Department of Homeland Security, and the Secretary of the
Interior.

The Open World Leadership Center, under the direction of its Board of
Trustees, supports the identification of emerging leaders from foreign
countries selected by the Board of Trustees and oversees the development
of an intensive program in the United States to link up to 3,000 participants
each year with U.S. counterparts. The Center's mission entails enhancing
the understanding and capabilities for cooperation between the United
States and participating countries by developing a network of leaders who
have gained significant, first-hand exposure to America's democratic, accountable government and its free-market system. The Center has also
administered a program to enable cultural leaders from the Russian Federation to gain exposure to the operations of American cultural institutions.
The Center is authorized to solicit and accept federal and private funds,
in addition to receipt of this appropriation, and to invest appropriated funds
in par value securities at the U.S. Treasury. The Center is governed by an
eleven-member board of trustees, composed of the Librarian of Congress,
members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives and representatives of the private sector. The Center is authorized to obtain a wide range
of administrative support, including space, from the Library of Congress.
FY 2019 funding supports U.S. grants and logistical services for hosting
in communities throughout the United States as well as other operating
expenses of the Center.

Personnel Management under 5 U.S.C. §8902a(g)(2); (P) certain actions
of the Board of Directors of the Office of Compliance of the U.S. Congress

The Federal Circuit also has exclusive jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§1292(c) of: (1) appealable interlocutory orders or decrees in cases where
the court would otherwise have jurisdiction over an appeal; and (2) appeals
from judgments in civil actions for patent infringement otherwise appealable
to the court and final except for accounting. Under the provisions of 28
U.S.C. §1292(d), the court has: (1) exclusive jurisdiction of appeals from
interlocutory orders granting or denying, in whole or in part, a motion to
transfer an action to the Court of Federal Claims; and (2) may, in its discretion, permit an appeal from an interlocutory order of a judge who certifies
that there is a controlling question of law and a substantial ground for difference of opinion thereon, and that an immediate appeal may materially
advance the ultimate termination of the litigation. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C.
§7292(b)(1), the court has exclusive jurisdiction of certain interlocutory
orders of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.
Legislation having an impact on the Federal Circuit is contained in P.L.

The Judiciary Information Technology Fund provides the judiciary with
a funds management tool which allows more effective and efficient planning, budgeting, and use of funds for information technology activities.
The Fund was authorized "without fiscal year limitation," which allows
the judiciary to carry forward funds for projects that incur obligations over
multiple years. The Fund makes it possible to implement the Long Range
Plan for Information Technology in the Federal Judiciary and to manage
the information technology program over a multi-year planning cycle while
maximizing efficiencies and benefits. The Fund is financed through deposits
and transfers from appropriations, reimbursements, user fees, and the sale
of surplus equipment.

2017 actual

The Office of the Secretary is responsible for the overall planning, coordination and administration of the Department's programs. This includes
the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under Secretaries, Assistant Secretaries,
and their immediate staffs, who provide top policy guidance for the Department; maintain relationships with agricultural organizations and others in
the development of farm programs; and provide liaison with the Executive
Office of the President and Members of Congress on all matters pertaining
to agricultural policy.
The 2019 Budget requests $20 million for the Office of the Secretary.
The Office of Homeland Security formulates emergency preparedness
policies for USDA and directs and coordinates Department activities that
support USDA emergency programs and liaison functions with Congress,
the Department of Homeland Security, and other Federal agencies involving

homeland security, natural disasters, agriculture-related international civil
emergency planning and intelligence activities. The 2019 Budget requests
$1.4 million.
Departmental Administration provides staff support to policy officials
and overall direction and coordination of the Department. Activities include
Department-wide programs for human resources management, occupational
safety and health management, real and personal property management,
acquisitions and contracting, motor vehicle and aircraft management, supply
management, and participation of small and disadvantaged businesses and
veterans programs. The 2019 Budget requests $22.5 million.
The Office of Communications provides leadership, expertise, and coordination to implement successful strategies and products that advance
the mission of the USDA while serving the public in a fair, equal, transparent and accessible manner. The 2019 Budget requests $7.3 million.
In an effort to create a consistent customer-focused outreach effort, the
USDA will create an Office of Partnerships and Public Engagement by
grouping the following offices together: the Office of Advocacy and Outreach; the Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships staff; the Office of
Tribal Relations; and the Military Veterans Liaison. Each office will retain
its own character and identity, and continue to communicate with its core
constituency, but this realignment will ensure a more coordinated and
consistent approach. This will result in improved service and enhanced
engagement with USDA's customers. The Office of Advocacy and Outreach
improves access to USDA programs and enhances the viability and profitability of small farms and ranches, beginning farmers and ranchers, and
socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. The Office of Faith-Based
and Neighborhood Partnerships works to build bridges between the Federal
Government and non-profit organizations, both secular and faith-based, to
better serve Americans in need. The Office of Tribal Relations serves as
the singular point of contact for the 567 sovereign Tribal Nations in the
US on USDA programs and services. The Military Veterans Liaison will
provide information to returning veterans and provide veterans with beginning farmer training and agricultural vocational and rehabilitation programs
appropriate to the needs and interests of returning veterans, including assisting veterans in using Federal veterans educational benefits for purposes
relating to a beginning farming or ranching career. The Department is
committed to ensuring that all USDA constituents, including historically
under-served groups, have the opportunity to participate in and benefit
from the programs offered by the Department. The 2019 Budget requests
$1.7 million.

The Office of Hearings and Appeals (OHA) is responsible for conducting
first and second-level administrative adjudications at USDA through fair,
transparent, and consistent processes. Activities are carried out by three
offices, the National Appeals Division (NAD), the Office of Administrative
Law Judges (OALJ), and the Office of the Judicial Officer (OJO). NAD
is responsible for listening to farmers and other rural program participants
concerning their disputes with certain agencies within USDA through fair
and impartial administrative hearings and appeals. OALJ and OJO (previously housed in Departmental Administration) are responsible for regulatory
hearings and administrative proceedings. OHA was established in 2016
with the consolidation of the three offices. The 2019 Budget requests $14.2
million and reflects this realignment.

Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Department must meet the same standards for environmental cleanup and regulatory compliance regarding hazardous wastes and hazardous substances as
private businesses. With substantial commitments under these Acts, the
Hazardous Materials Management account was established as a central
fund so the Department's agencies may be reimbursed for their cleanup
efforts. The Department determines what projects to fund by using objective
criteria to identify what sites pose the greatest threats to public health,
safety, and the environment. The 2019 Budget requests $3.5 million.

The Economic Research Service (ERS) will use its FY 2019 funding for
core, recurring programs of data analysis and market outlook. Proposals
for ERS budget priorities reflect principles based on the Agency's role as
a Federal intramural research and statistical organization. The principles
identify areas where ERS is best positioned to provide information that the
private sector or academia has weaker incentives or higher cost to provide,
and include: (1) research that builds on unique or confidential data sources
or investments at the Federal level and is inherent in the role of a Federal
Statistical Agency; (2) provides coordination for a national perspective or
framework; (3) requires sustained investment and large teams; (4) directly
serves the U.S. Government's or USDA's long-term national goals and are
not likely to be understood or valued; and (5) addresses questions with
short-run payoff or that have immediate policy implications. While we also
seek to inform decision making on the core of USDA programs at proposed
funding levels, we will focus on providing expertise in the analysis of
farming and commodity markets, as well as limited information on food
markets and food security.
The 2019 Budget request is $45 million, a decrease of $42 million from
FY 2018. This funding level provides a framework to better streamline the
Department's statistical functions, leverage administrative efficiencies, and
focus on core data products similar to other statistical agencies elsewhere
within the Government. ERS will continue to provide data products and
statistics for farm financial information (e.g., estimates of farm income
and commodity costs of production), agricultural commodity markets, international trade, U.S. agricultural productivity, USDA domestic and international baseline data, food availability, and the Consumer Price Index for
food. ERS would maintain its production of the national estimates of U.S.
food security. This funding level also supports the ERS Commodity Outlook
program's participation in USDA's Interagency Commodity Estimates
Committees and recurring analyses for commodities covered by USDA
Farm Act commodity programs. These activities include analysis for the
monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) reports, public release of data for feed grains and other commodities, and
supply and utilization tables for commodities that serve as critical inputs
to the ERS Food Availability and Loss Data. Economists in the Commodity
Outlook program will continue to support ERS leadership of modeling for
USDA's Agricultural Baseline Projections. Producing these statistics requires $6 million to purchase the Agricultural Resource Management
Survey (ARMS) data, food security data, and private sector commodity
data and intelligence. This budget level will support staff to develop the
statistics and conduct research needed to ensure the sustained ability to
develop meaningful measures of economic concepts in a dynamic farm
and agricultural sector.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) provides the official
National and State estimates of acreage, yield, and production of crops,
grain stocks, value and expenditures associated with farm commodities
and inventory, values and expenditures of livestock items. Data on approximately 120 crops and 45 livestock products are covered in more than 450
reports issued each year. In addition, the Census of Agriculture, which is
conducted every five years for years ending in 2 and 7, is an in-depth picture
of America's agriculture and provides comprehensive data on the Nation's
agricultural industry down to the county level. NASS' responsibilities are
authorized under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C
1621–1627) and the Census of Agriculture Act of 1997, Public Law
105–113 (7 U.S.C. 2204 g(d)(f)).
Agricultural Estimates.—The Agricultural Estimates program is vital for
producers, agricultural commodity markets in the U.S. and the world, policy
makers in government and people involved in making planning, investment,
price discovery mechanisms, and marketing decisions. Billions of dollars
could be put at risk without these essential Agricultural Estimates statistical
reports. Staff in 12 Regional offices and 33 State offices serving all 50
States conduct the work to produce these commodity estimates. Cooperative
arrangements with State agencies provide additional State and county data.
In order to support Administration priorities and improve efficiency, NASS
has carefully completed a comprehensive review of existing programs to
determine where reductions could be taken, evaluating with the following
priorities: 1) Federal Principal Economic Indicator data; 2) data which
directly impact commodity markets; 3) data necessary to implement the
USDA programs which provide payments to farmers and are used to administer the farm safety net for producers; and 4) data for which there are
no other publicly available sources of information. In 2017, NASS achieved
several accomplishments: 1) published the regular schedule of Agricultural
Estimates Federal Principal Economic Indicators; 2) the Fruit Chemical
Use Survey; 3) published new data on the economics of beekeeping in the
annual Honey report; and 4) created the All Data Team
Census of Agriculture.—The Census of Agriculture provides the only
source of comparable and consistent detailed data about agriculture and
helps to measure trends and new development in the agricultural sector of
our Nation's economy. The Census of Agriculture is critical because it
provides comprehensive data on the agriculture economy, land use, production expenses, value of land and buildings, farm size and characteristics of
farm operators, market value of agricultural production sold, acreage of
major crops, inventory of livestock and poultry, and farm irrigation practices. The 2019 Budget request includes a decrease to reflect the normal
activity levels related to the cyclical nature of the 5-year Census of Agri-

culture program. In 2017, NASS achieved several accomplishments: 1)
published the results for the first Local Foods Survey; 2) published four
Current Agricultural Industrial Reports; and 3) released results of the 2015
Certified Organic Survey; 4)critical IT programming and infrastructure
were enhanced and tested to improve and streamline statistical activities
and 5) developed a modern, responsive web form for data collection.
The 2019 total request is $165 million for NASS, including $119.7 million
for Agricultural Estimates to: 1) conduct the essential Federal Principal
Economic Indicator surveys; and 2) conduct other Core Integrated Surveys
and Estimates to support USDA programs.
The 2019 NASS request includes $45.3 million for the Census of Agriculture. NASS will: 1) Start planning and preparing for the FY 2022 Census
of Agriculture; 2) conduct the Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey; 3) data
summarizations, publication and review, products dissemination and followon surveys; and 4) publish data for the 2017 Census of Agriculture.
Miscellaneous funds received from local organizations, commodity
groups, and others are available for dissemination of reports and for survey
work conducted under cooperative agreements (7 U.S.C. 450b, 450h,
3318b). NASS also provides technical consultation, support, and assistance
for international programs under participating agency service agreements.

The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the principal in-house research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). ARS conducts scientific research to develop and transfer solutions to agricultural
problems of high national priority and to provide information access and
dissemination to: ensure high-quality, safe food, and other agricultural
products; assess the nutritional needs of Americans; sustain a competitive
agricultural economy; enhance the natural resource base and the environment; and provide economic opportunities for rural citizens, communities,
and society as a whole. This mission is carried out through ARS' major
research program areas and other activities listed below (in italics).
The major research programs in ARS address and support the Department's priorities and are: New Products/Product Quality/Value Added;
Environmental Stewardship; Livestock/Crop Production; Livestock/Crop
Protection; Food Safety; and Human Nutrition.
The 2019 Salaries and Expenses budget for ARS requests $1.019 billion,
which supports ongoing intramural research conducted by ARS. The Budget
also proposes to transfer operational responsibility for the National Bio
and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) from the Department of Homeland
Security to USDA and requests $42 million within this account for operations costs in 2019. Once construction is complete, USDA would operate
the NBAF and use the facility to study diseases that threaten the animal
agricultural industry and public health. The Budget also includes proposed
terminations of projects and closures of labs and research units.
New Products/Product Quality/Value Added.—ARS has active research
programs directed toward improving the efficiency and reducing the cost
for the conversion of agricultural products into biobased products and
biofuels; developing new and improved products for domestic and foreign
markets; and providing higher quality, healthy foods that satisfy consumer
needs in the United States and abroad.
Environmental Stewardship.— The emphasis of ARS' environmental
stewardship research programs is on developing technologies and systems
that support sustainable production and enhance the Nation's vast renewable
natural resource base. ARS is currently developing the scientific knowledge
and technologies needed to meet the challenges and opportunities facing
U.S. agriculture in managing water resource quality and quantity under
different climatic regimes, production systems, and environmental condi-

tions. ARS' research also focuses on developing measurement, prediction,
and control technologies for emissions of greenhouse gases, particulate
matter, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds affecting air quality and land surface climate interactions. The agency is a leader
in developing measurement and modeling techniques for characterizing
gaseous and particulate matter emissions from agriculture. In addition,
ARS is evaluating strategies for enhancing the health and productivity of
soils, including developing predictive tools to assess the sustainability of
alternative land management practices. Finding mechanisms to aid agriculture in adapting to changes in atmospheric composition and climatic variations is also an important component of this program. ARS' range and
grazing land research objectives include the conservation and restoration
of the Nation's range land and pasture ecosystems and agroecosystems
through improved management of fire, invasive weeds, grazing, global
change, and other agents of ecological change. The agency is currently
developing improved grass and forage legume germplasm for livestock,
conservation, bioenergy, and bioproduct systems as well as grazing-based
livestock systems that reduce risk and increase profitability. In addition,
ARS is developing whole system management strategies to reduce production costs and risks.
Livestock Production.—ARS' livestock production program is directed
toward fostering an abundant, safe, nutritionally wholesome, and competitively priced supply of animal products produced in a viable, competitive,
and sustainable animal agriculture sector of the economy by: safeguarding
and utilizing animal genetic resources, associated genetic and genomic
databases, and bioinformatic tools; developing a basic understanding of
food animal physiology to address priority issues related to animal production, animal well-being, and product quality and healthfulness; and developing information, best management practices, novel and innovative tools,
and technologies that improve animal production systems, enhance human
health, and ensure domestic food security.
Crop Production.—ARS' crop production program focuses on developing
and improving ways to reduce crop losses while protecting and ensuring
a safe and affordable food supply. The research program concentrates on
production strategies that are environmentally friendly, safe to consumers,
and compatible with sustainable and profitable crop production systems.
Research activities are directed at safeguarding and utilizing plant genetic
resources and their associated genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic databases
that facilitate selection of varieties and/or germplasm with significantly
improved traits. Research activities attempt to minimize the impacts of
crop pests while maintaining healthy crops and safe commodities that can
be sold in markets throughout the world. ARS is conducting research to
discover and exploit naturally occurring and engineered genetic mechanisms
for plant pest control, develop agronomic germplasm with durable defensive
traits, and transfer genetic resources for commercial use. ARS provides
taxonomic information on invasive species that strengthens prevention
techniques, aids in detection/identification of invasive pests, and increases
control through management tactics that restore habitats and biological
diversity.
Livestock Protection.—ARS' research on livestock protection is directed
at protecting and ensuring the safety of the Nation's agriculture and food
supply through improved disease detection, prevention, control, and treatment. Basic and applied research approaches are used to solve animal health
problems of high national priority. Emphasis is given to methods and procedures to control animal diseases through the discovery and development
of diagnostics, vaccines, biotherapeutics, animal genomics applications,
disease management systems, animal disease models, and farm biosecurity
measures. The research program has the following strategic objectives:
establish ARS laboratories into a fluid, highly effective research network
to maximize use of core competencies and resources; ensure access to
specialized high containment facilities to study zoonotic and emerging
diseases; develop an integrated animal and microbial genomics research
program; establish core competencies in bovine, swine, ovine, and avian

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

immunology; launch a biotherapeutic discovery program providing alternatives to animal drugs; build a technology-driven vaccine and diagnostic
discovery research program; develop core competencies in field epidemiology and predictive biology; establish a best-in-class training center for
our Nation's veterinarians and scientists; and develop a model technology
transfer program to achieve the full impact of ARS research discoveries.
Crop Protection.—ARS' research on crop protection protects crops from
insects and diseases through research to understand pest and disease
transmission mechanisms, and to identify and apply new technologies that
increase understanding of virulence factors and host defense mechanisms.
ARS research priorities include identification of: genes that convey virulence traits in pathogens and pests; factors that modulate infectivity, gene
functions, and mechanisms; genetic profiles that provide specified levels
of disease and insect resistance under field conditions; and mechanisms
that reduce the spread of pests and infectious diseases. ARS is developing
new knowledge and integrated pest management approaches to control
pest and disease outbreaks as they occur. Its research will improve the
knowledge and understanding of the ecology, physiology, epidemiology,
and molecular biology of emerging diseases and pests. This knowledge
will be incorporated into pest risk assessments and management strategies
to minimize chemical inputs and increase production. Strategies and approaches will be available to producers to control emerging crop diseases
and pest outbreaks and to address quarantine issues.
Food Safety.— ARS' food safety research program is designed to yield
science-based knowledge on the safe production, storage, processing, and
handling of plant and animal products, and on the detection and control of
toxin producing and/or pathogenic bacteria and fungi, parasites, chemical
contaminants, and plant toxins. All of ARS' research activities involve a
high degree of cooperation and collaboration with USDA's Research,
Education, and Economics agencies, as well as with the Food Safety and
Inspection Service, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Food and
Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Homeland Security, and the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). ARS also collaborates in international research programs to address
and resolve global food safety issues. Specific research efforts are directed
toward developing new technologies that assist ARS stakeholders and
customers, including regulatory agencies, industry, and commodity and
consumer organizations, in detecting, identifying, and controlling foodborne
diseases that affect human health.
Human Nutrition.—Maintenance of health throughout the lifespan along
with prevention of obesity and chronic diseases via food-based recommendations are the major emphases of ARS' human nutrition research program.
These health-related goals are based on the knowledge that deficiency
diseases are no longer primary public health concerns in the U.S. Excessive
consumption has become the primary nutrition problem in the American
population. This is reflected by increased emphasis on prevention of obesity
from basic science through intervention studies to assessments of large
populations. ARS' research program also actively studies bioactive components of foods that have no known requirement but have health promoting
qualities. Four specific areas of research are emphasized: nutrition monitoring; the scientific basis for dietary recommendations; prevention of
obesity and related diseases; and life stage nutrition and metabolism, in
order to better define the role of nutrition in pregnancy and growth of
children, and for healthier aging.
Library and Information Services.—The National Agricultural Library
(NAL) is the largest and most accessible agricultural research library in
the world. It provides services directly to the staff of USDA and to the
public, primarily via the NAL web site, http://www.nal.usda.gov. NAL
was created with the USDA in 1862 and was named a national library in
1962, as the primary agricultural information resource of the United States.
NAL is the premier library for collecting, managing, and disseminating
agricultural knowledge. The Library is the repository of our Nation's agricultural heritage, the provider of world class information, and a wellspring
for generating new fundamental knowledge and advancing scientific dis-

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

covery. It is a priceless national resource that, through its services, programs, information products, and web-based tools and technologies, serves
anyone who needs agricultural information. The Library's vision is "advancing access to global information for agriculture."
Repair and Maintenance of Facilities.—Funds are used to restore, upgrade, and maintain ARS' facilities to meet Occupational Safety and Health
Administration and EPA requirements, provide suitable workspace for inhouse research programs, and to retrofit existing structures for better energy
utilization.
Reimbursements.—ARS performs research activities and services for
other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies. These activities and services are paid for on a reimbursable basis.

MISCELLANEOUS CONTRIBUTED FUNDS

This account provides funds for the acquisition of land, construction, repair, improvement, extension, alteration, and purchase of fixed equipment
or facilities of or used by the Agricultural Research Service.
ARS operates an extensive network of Federally-owned research facilities
strategically located throughout the United States, reflective of the wide
geographic diversity and site specificity of agricultural production and
distinct climatic and agroecosystem zones. The agency completed a review
of its laboratory portfolio in 2012 and developed a plan for future capital
investment that would be required to maintain this aging infrastructure.
The resulting "Capital Investment Strategy" recommended modernization
of selected facilities. The 2019 Budget request does not include funding
for this account and proposes to cancel $192 million in unobligated balances
that are no longer needed for capital improvements.

The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) 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 leverage
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 2019 budget includes $243.2 million.
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 2019 Budget is funded at $28.9 million.
Payments to 1890 Institutions for Research.—Funds allocated on a formula basis support agricultural research and broaden the curricula at the
nineteen 1890 land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee University, West
Virginia State University, and Central State University. The 2019 Budget
includes $53.8 million.
Special grants and other research programs.—This program addresses
research areas of national interest. The 2019 Budget includes $11.8 million
for IR-4 minor crop pest management to assist growers in obtaining registrations of pesticides for use on specialty food crops, ornamental horticulture
crops, and minor uses on major crops. The 2019 Budget also includes
funding for sustainable agriculture at $19 million. The 2019 Budget proposes funding at $1.8 million for the competitive 1994 Institutions research
grants program to build research capacity at the legislatively eligible 1994
institutions by supporting tribal, national and multistate agricultural research
priorities.
Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grants.—Section
7406 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110–246)
establishes the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). AFRI is
the core competitive grant program for fundamental and applied research,
extension, and education to address food and agricultural sciences. The
2019 Budget includes $375 million for AFRI to support the transformative
innovations needed to achieve nutritional security. This investment is essential for the foundational research and agricultural workforce development
that complements and underpins large systems-level research, education,
and extension activities needed to maintain America's global preeminence
in food and agricultural production. To achieve this transformation of U.S.
agricultural systems, AFRI includes investments in three major foci: Sustainable Agricultural Systems, Foundational and Applied Science, and
Education and Workforce Development. These complementary foci will
support the creation, delivery, and application of the knowledge, tools, and
innovations needed to tackle the broad range of global agricultural challenges impacting America. Addressing these challenges will engage scientists and educators with expertise in plant health and production and plant
products; animal health and production and animal products; food safety,
nutrition, and health; bioenergy, natural resources, and environment; agricultural systems and technology; and agriculture economics and rural
communities. AFRI allows greater flexibility in the types of projects funded
to include: single function projects in research, education, and extension,
and integrated research, education and/or extension awards.
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. The 2019 Budget
includes $19 million.
Higher education.—The 2019 Budget proposes $19.2 million for a capacity building program at the 1890 institutions as part of the USDA initiative
to strengthen these institutions through a broadening of curricula, and increased faculty development and student research projects. The 2019 Budget
funding is proposed for Hispanic-serving institutions education grants
program at $9.2 million. Funding is also proposed for Native American

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

institutions at $3.4 million, Alaska Native-serving and Native Hawaiianserving institutions at $3.2 million, and Grants for Insular Areas programs
at $2 million. These programs enable universities to broaden their curricula,
and increase faculty development and student research projects in the food
and agricultural sciences. Funding also is proposed in the 2019 Budget, at
$5 million, for the Veterinary Medical Services Act to provide incentives
to hire veterinarians to work in shortage areas.
Native American Institutions Endowment Fund.—The 2019 Budget includes $11.9 million, for an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions
(the legislatively eligible 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. An estimated $5 million
in interest earned in 2018 will be available to the program in 2019.
Reimbursable program.—Funds support basic and applied agriculture
research and activities performed for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies.

Funds provide grants to States and other eligible recipients for the acquisition of land, construction, repair, improvement, extension, alteration and
purchase of fixed equipment or facilities to carry out agricultural research,
extension, and teaching programs. No funding has been appropriated to
this account since 1997.

The Cooperative Extension System, a national educational network, is a
dynamic organization pledged to meeting the country's needs for researchbased 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 non-formal educational network combines the expertise and resources
of Federal, State, and local partners. The partners in this unique System
are: a) NIFA at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; b) Extension professionals at land-grant universities throughout the U.S. and its territories;
and c) Extension professionals in nearly all of the Nation's 3,144 counties
and county equivalents. Thousands of paraprofessionals and nearly 3 million
volunteers support this partnership and magnify its impact. Strong linkages
with both public and private external groups also are crucial to the Cooperative Extension System's strength and vitality.
Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c).—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. Funds will be used to develop practical applications
of existing or improved practices or technologies in agriculture; and disseminate information to communities through demonstrations and publications. The 2019 Budget proposes Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) programs to
be funded at $299.4 million.

1890 Institutions.—Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) provides formula payments
to the 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University, West Virginia State University, and Central State University. The 2019 Budget includes $45.3 million
and provides funds to support the Extension's infrastructure.
1890 Facilities.—The 2019 Budget includes $19.6 million for 1890 Facilities Grants for the acquisition and improvement of food, agricultural,
and human sciences facilities and equipment, including libraries, so that
the 1890 land-grant institutions, including Tuskegee University, West
Virginia State University, and Central State University may participate
fully in the production of human capital in the food and agricultural sciences.
Smith-Lever 3(d) Programs.—Designated programs funded by SmithLever 3(d) include the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program;
Children, Youth, and Families at Risk; and Federally-Recognized Tribes
Extension Program. The 2019 Budget includes $66.5 million for these
programs.
Other Extension Programs.—Other Extension programs supported in the
2019 Budget include Extension Services at 1994 Institutions at $4.4 million,
Food Animal Residue Avoidance Database Program at $1.2 million, and
Food Safety Outreach Program at $5 million.
Federal administration.—A coordinating and review staff assists in
maintaining cooperation within and among the States, and between the
States and their Federal partners. This staff also administers extension
grants and payments to States. Federal administration is funded from direct
appropriation for administration. The 2019 Budget includes $8.8 million,
which includes $0.5 million for agriculture in the classroom.
Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program.—This mandatory
program, authorized by section 7410 of the 2008 Farm Bill, provides
funding to support the development of education, outreach, curricula,
workshops, educational teams, training, and technical assistance programs
to assist beginning farmers and ranchers in the U.S. and its territories in
entering, building, and managing successful farm and ranch enterprises.
This program also provides support for an online electronic and library
clearinghouse to provide associated support to individually funded projects,
and the overall program. In 2019, there is no mandatory funding for the
program.
Agriculture Risk Management Education Program.—This mandatory
program, authorized by section 133 of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act
of 2000, which amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act, provides funding
for educating agricultural producers on the full range of risk management
activities. These activities include futures, options, agricultural trade options, crop insurance, cash forward contracting, debt reduction, production
diversification, marketing plans and tactics, farm resources risk reduction,
and other appropriate risk management strategies. In 2019, mandatory
funding for this program is $5 million.
Food Insecurity Nutrition Incentive Program.—This mandatory program,
authorized by section 4208 of the Farm Bill, funds and evaluates projects
intended to increase the purchase of fruits and vegetables, any variety of
fresh, canned, dried, or frozen whole or cut fruits and vegetables without
added sugars, fats, or oils, and salt (i.e. sodium), by low-income consumers
participating in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by
providing incentives at the point of purchase. The program will test
strategies that could contribute to the understanding of how best to increase
the purchase of fruits and vegetables by SNAP participants to inform future
efforts, and develop effective and efficient benefit redemption technologies.
In 2019, there is no mandatory funding for this program.
Reimbursable program.—Funds support activities performed for other
USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies.

The Secretary of Agriculture established the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) on April 2, 1972, under the authority of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1953 and other authorities. The mission of the
Agency is to safeguard the health, welfare, and value of American agricultural and natural resources that are vulnerable to pests, diseases, predation,
natural disasters, or inhumane treatment. APHIS performs this important
work using three major areas of activity, as follows:
Safeguarding and Emergency Preparedness/Response.—APHIS monitors
animal and plant health throughout the world and uses the information to
set effective agricultural import policies to prevent the introduction of
foreign animal and plant pests and diseases. Should a pest or disease enter

the United States, APHIS works cooperatively with Federal, State, Tribal
and industry partners to rapidly diagnose them and determine if there is a
need to establish new pest or disease management programs. APHIS, in
conjunction with partners and stakeholders, safeguards American agriculture
by eradicating harmful pests and diseases or, where eradication is not
feasible, by minimizing their economic impact. The Agency monitors endemic pests and diseases through surveys to detect their locations and
works with partners to implement controls and conduct outreach to prevent
the spread of pests and diseases into non-infested parts of the country. The
Agency maintains a cadre of trained professionals prepared to respond
immediately to potential animal and plant health emergencies. Program
personnel investigate reports of suspected presence of foreign and exotic
pests and diseases and work with partners to determine an appropriate
course of action, including emergency action if necessary. APHIS conducts
diagnostic laboratory activities that support the Agency's animal disease
and plant pest prevention, detection, control, and eradication programs.
The Agency also provides and directs technology development to support
animal and plant protection programs of the Agency and its cooperators at
the State, Tribal, national, and international levels. APHIS provides technical and some operational assistance to States, Tribes, and local entities
in reducing wildlife damage to natural and agricultural resources. Finally,
the Agency protects plant health by optimizing its oversight of genetically
engineered organisms.
Safe Trade and International Technical Assistance.—Sanitary (animal)
and phytosanitary (plant) (SPS) regulations can have a significant impact
on market access for the United States as an exporter of agricultural
products. The Agency participates in the development of international
standards. APHIS also plays a central role in resolving technical trade issues
to ensure the smooth and safe movement of agricultural commodities into
and out of the United States. APHIS helps to protect the United States from
emerging animal and plant pests and diseases while meeting obligations
under the World Trade Organization's SPS agreement by assisting developing countries in improving their safeguarding systems. Finally, APHIS
develops and implements programs designed to identify and reduce agricultural pest and disease threats while they are still outside of U.S. borders,
to enhance safe agricultural trade, and to strengthen emergency response
preparedness.
Animal Welfare.—The Agency conducts regulatory activities to ensure
the humane care and treatment of animals, including horses, as required
by the Animal Welfare Act of 1966 as amended (7 U.S.C. 2131–2159),
and the Horse Protection Act of 1970 as amended (15 U.S.C. 1821–1831).
These activities include inspection of certain establishments that handle
animals intended for research, exhibition, and sale as pets, and monitoring
of certain horse shows.
APHIS' 2019 budget request is $739 million. The budget includes a request for additional resources to prepare for the transition of the Agency's
foreign animal disease laboratory operations from Plum Island, New York,
to the new state-of-the-art National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF)
in Manhattan, Kansas. The transition will take place over several years,
beginning in earnest in 2019 and continuing until NBAF is online and fully
operational in December 2022. Among the reductions included in the budget
are proposals to reduce or eliminate Federal contributions toward animal
and plant health and wildlife management program efforts. APHIS works
as a partner with its cooperators at the State, local, and industry levels to
achieve overall program goals; the Agency expects its cooperators will
increase their contributions toward these efforts. The Agency also proposes
several reductions as cost savings measures. In these instances, the programs
will use the remaining resources to address the highest risks or program
priority areas.
Additionally, the Administration proposes establishing a new discretionary
user fee ($29 million in 2019) to recover the full costs of APHIS' inspections
of passengers and cargo traveling to the continental United States from
Hawaii and Puerto Rico to prevent the introduction of non-native agricultural pests and diseases into the mainland.

The primary objective of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
is to ensure that meat, poultry, and egg products are safe, 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 a significant percentage of American spending on food.
Providing adequate resources for Federal Food Safety agencies is a priority
of the Administration. The 2019 Budget proposes $1.032 billion for inspection of meat, poultry and egg products. With these funds, FSIS will fully
support all Federal, in-plant and other frontline personnel and the Federal
share of State inspection programs, and continue to improve its data infrastructure and modernize its scientific approach to food safety. This budget
also requests Congress return Siluriformes inspection to FDA. In addition,
the budget proposes a user fee which will be charged to plants to support
inspections and central operations costs for Federal, State, and International
inspection programs for meat, poultry, and eggs. In FY 2019, USDA will
realign Codex Alimentarius activities from the Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS) to the Office of the Secretary, reporting to the Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs. FSIS will remain the
chair of Codex.

The 2019 Budget requests about $119 million for the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Marketing Services account, approximately $30
million above 2018. The increase is due to the USDA reorganization that
transferred activities formerly performed by the Grain Inspection, Packers
and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), and some activities formerly
performed by the Farm Service Agency (FSA), into AMS. The reorganization moved the Packers and Stockyards Program ($23 million), the
Warehouse Act program ($4 million), and international food procurement
($14 million) into the AMS Marketing Services account. Additionally, the
Warehouse Act fees ($4 million) and the Federal Grain Inspection Program
new discretionary user fee ($20 million) are within the AMS Fee Funded
Inspection, Weighing, and Examination Services account.
The Packers and Stockyards Program.—This program promotes fair
business practices, financial integrity, and competitive environments to
market livestock, meat, and poultry. Through its oversight activities, including monitoring programs, reviews, and investigations, the Program fosters
fair competition, provides payment protection, and guards against deceptive
and fraudulent trade practices that affect the movement and price of meat
animals and their products. The Program's work protects consumers and

members of the livestock, meat, and poultry industries. The Program enforces the Packers and Stockyards (P&S) Act, which prohibits unfair, deceptive, and unjust discriminatory practices by market agencies, dealers,
stockyards, packers, swine contractors, and live poultry dealers in the
livestock, meat packing, and poultry industries. The P&S Act provides an
important safety net for livestock producers and poultry growers in rural
America. The Program conducts routine and ongoing regulatory inspections
and audits to assess whether subject entities are operating in compliance
with the Act, and conducts investigations of potential P&S Act violations
identified by either industry complaints or previous regulatory inspections.
The U.S. Warehouse Act program.—USDA is authorized to license
warehouse operators who store agricultural products. Warehouse operators
that apply must meet the standards established within the U.S. Warehouse
Act and its regulations.
The international food procurement program.— USDA procures foods
for international food aid programs for overseas humanitarian and developmental use to meet USDA and USAID program requirements.
The following Marketing Services activities were previously within this
account and assist producers and handlers of agricultural commodities by
providing a variety of marketing-related services. These services continue
to become more complex as the volume of agricultural commodities increases, as greater numbers of new processed commodities are developed,
and as the agricultural market structure undergoes extensive changes.
Marketing changes include increased concentration in food retailing, direct
buying, decentralization of processing, growth of interregional competition,
vertical integration, and contract farming. The activities include:
Market news service.—The market news program provides the agricultural community with information pertaining to the movement of agricultural products. This nationwide service provides daily reports on the supply,
demand, and price of over 700 commodities on domestic and foreign
markets.
National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard.— Public Law
114–216 charges AMS with developing a national mandatory system for
disclosing the presence of bioengineered material. AMS will develop
rulemaking and ensure an open and transparent process to effectively establish this new program, which will increase consumers' confidence and
understanding of the foods they buy, and avoid uncertainty for food companies and farmers.
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.
Inspections of egg handlers and hatcheries are conducted quarterly to
ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit for human consumption.

Market protection and promotion.—This program consists of: 1) the research and promotion programs which are designed to improve the competitive position and expand markets for cotton, eggs and egg products, honey,
pork, beef, dairy products, potatoes, watermelons, mushrooms, soybeans,
fluid milk, popcorn, blueberries, avocados, lamb, mangos, sorghum, processed raspberries, Christmas trees, paper and packaging, softwood lumber,
and peanuts; 2) the Federal Seed Act; 3) the Pesticide Data Program; 4)
Country of Origin Labeling; and 5) the National Organic Program.
The Pesticide Data program develops comprehensive, statistically defensible information on pesticide residues in food to improve government dietary risk procedures.
Federal seed inspectors conduct tests on seed samples to help ensure
truthful labeling of agricultural and vegetable seeds sold in interstate
commerce.
Country of Origin Labeling reviews and verifies that retailers are notifying
their customers of the country of origin of certain foods as specified in the
law.
The National Organic Program develops national standards for organically-produced agricultural products, assuring consumers that products with
the USDA organic seal meet consistent, uniform standards.

FEE FUNDED INSPECTION, WEIGHING, AND EXAMINATION SERVICES
Not to exceed $80,000,000 (from fees collected) shall be obligated during the
current fiscal year for inspection and weighing services, including activities of the
Federal Grain Inspection Service: Provided, That if grain export activities require
additional supervision and oversight, or other uncontrollable factors occur, this
limitation may be exceeded up to 10 percent with notification to the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress: Provided further, That the Secretary
of Agriculture may collect fees for the inspection and weighing activities of the
Federal Grain Inspection Service: Provided further, That such fees shall remain
available until expended, and be available for the promotion and enforcement of
the United States Grain Standards Act and applicable provisions of the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946; identification, evaluation, and implementation of new or
improved techniques for measuring grain quality; and establishment and maintenance
of testing and grading standards to facilitate the marketing of U.S. grain, oilseeds,
and related products: Provided further, That obligations for Federal Grain Inspection
Service activities shall not exceed $20,000,000 during the current fiscal year.
In addition, amounts collected pursuant to the U.S. Warehouse Act (7 U.S.C. 241
et seq.) shall be deposited in this account and remain available until expended for
the purposes specified in 7 U.S.C. 241 et seq., and shall not be subject to the obligation limitations in the first paragraph.
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget
was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended). The amounts included for
2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The USDA reorganization transferred the Warehouse Act program and
the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) to the Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS). This newly named Fee Funded Inspection, Weighing, and
Examination Services account will now be under AMS, and will contain
the new discretionary Federal Grain Inspection Service fee ($20 million),
the mandatory fees that USDA charges for licensing warehouses under the
U.S. Warehouse Act ($4 million), and the mandatory fees that USDA
charges for grain inspection and weighing services ($60 million) will continue to be deposited in this account and used by the agency to cover the
costs of services.
The Administration proposes establishing a new discretionary FGIS user
fee to recover the full costs for discretionary programs under FGIS. FGIS
promotes and enforces the accurate and uniform application of the United
States Grain Standards Act and applicable provisions of the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946. FGIS identifies, evaluates, and implements new
or improved techniques for measuring grain quality. FGIS also establishes
and updates testing and grading standards to facilitate the marketing of
U.S. grain, oilseeds, and related products, and briefs foreign buyers, assesses
foreign inspection and weighing techniques, and responds to foreign quality
and quantity complaints. Entities that receive the direct benefits from FGIS
services should pay for the costs of these programs.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

FEE FUNDED INSPECTION, WEIGHING, AND EXAMINATION SERVICES—Continued

Employment Summary

USDA provides voluntary licensing services under U.S. Warehouse Act
and charges fees for these services, which include licensing warehouse
operators who store agricultural products and licensing qualified persons
to sample, inspect, weigh, and grade agricultural products.
AMS provides a uniform system for the inspection and weighing of grain
for marketing and trade purposes. Services provided under this system accurately and consistently describe the quality and quantity of grain and 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 AMS
employees at certain export ports as well as the inspection of U.S. grain
shipped through Canada. AMS supervises the inspection and weighing
activities performed by its own employees. AMS also supervises 46 official
private and state agencies: 34 official private agencies and seven official
state agencies that are designated to provide official inspection and/or
weighing services in domestic markets; four official state agencies that are
delegated to provide mandatory official export inspection and weighing
services and designated to provide official domestic inspection and
weighing services within the state; and one official state agency that is
delegated to provide mandatory official export inspection and weighing
services within the state. AMS provides an appeal service of original grain
inspections and a registration system for the grain exporting firms. Through
support from the Association of American Railroads and user fees, AMS
conducts a railroad track scale testing program. In addition, AMS provides
grading services, on request, for rice and grain related products under the
authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.
The Budget proposes increasing the obligation limitation on fees collected
from inspection and weighing services in order to allow AMS to fully
support the Federal Grain Inspection Service's inspection and weighing
program. In order to support these mandatory export services and the voluntary domestic services and continue to meet the demand of the domestic
and foreign grain and related commodity markets, the limitation on inspection and weighing services expenses that is currently in place needs to be
increased to reflect the new discretionary user fees to cover the FGIS program, and to cover the full cost of the mandatory inspection and weighing
program. This will provide AMS with the flexibility needed to respond to
market needs.

Produce Agency Acts (7 U.S.C. 491–497, 499a–499s).

Agricultural Marketing Service—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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; c)
suspension or revocation of license and/or publication of the facts; or d)
monetary penalty in lieu of license suspension or revocation.
The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act requires traders to have
trust assets on hand to meet their obligations to fruit and vegetable suppliers.
To preserve their trust and establish their rights ahead of other creditors,
unpaid suppliers file notice with both the Department and their debtors that
payment is due. The Act provides permanent authority to the Secretary of
Agriculture to set license and reparation complaint filing fees.

The Agriculture Appropriations Act of 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c) established
the Section 32 program which provides that 30 percent of U.S. Customs
receipts for each calendar year are transferred to this account within the
Department of Agriculture. The purpose of the Section 32 program is threefold: 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 programs. A General Provision in
this Budget proposes that carryover funds, with certain limitations, may
be used to make direct payments under clause 3 of the authorizing legislation. Program funds are also used to purchase commodities that are distributed to schools as part of Child Nutrition Programs entitlements. Furthermore, funds are transferred to the Food and Nutrition Service for commodity
purchases under section 6 of the National School Lunch Act and other authorities specified in the Child Nutrition Programs statutes.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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

The Milk Market Orders Assessment Fund displays the non-Federal costs
of administrating Federal milk marketing orders, and includes salaries and
expenses, travel, and rent for office space. The Agricultural Marketing
Service reports this account in the President's Budget because milk marketing administration staff are excepted service. Salaries, health insurance,
TSP contributions and all other federal benefits are paid by the marketing
order funds and as a result there are no costs to the Federal government.
As a result, corresponding dollars are reported for presentation purposes
only. For Federal funds for the Secretary's oversight responsibilities of
Marketing Orders, please see AMS's Section 32 account.
The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural Marketing
Agreement Act of 1937, as amended under certain conditions to issue
Federal milk marketing orders establishing minimum prices which handlers
are required to pay for milk purchased from producers. There are currently
10 Federally-sanctioned milk market orders in operation. Market administrators are appointed by the Secretary and are responsible for carrying out
the terms of specific marketing orders. Their operating expenses are financed by assessments on regulated handlers and partly by deductions from
producers, which are reported to the Agricultural Marketing Service. The
majority of these funds are collected and deposited in checking and savings
accounts in local banks, and disbursed directly for direct disbursement by
the market administrator. A portion of the funds collected may be 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 six 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.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES
For necessary expenses of the Risk Management Agency, $37,942,000: Provided,
That not to exceed $1,000 shall be available for official reception and representation
expenses, as authorized by 7 U.S.C. 1506(i).
In addition, $20,000,000 is appropriated for purposes under this heading:
Provided, That, notwithstanding 7 U.S.C. 1508(b)(5)(D) and 7 U.S.C. 1508(c)(10)(B),
the first $20,000,000 of the amounts collected in fiscal year 2019 pursuant to 7
U.S.C. 1508(b)(5) and 7 U.S.C. 1508(c)(10) shall be credited to this account:
Provided further, That the sum herein appropriated in this paragraph from the
general fund shall be reduced as such collections are received during fiscal year
2019 so as to result in a fiscal year 2019 appropriation from the general fund estimated at $0.
Note.—A full-year 2018 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget
was prepared; therefore, the budget assumes this account is operating under the Continuing
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Division D of P.L. 115–56, as amended). The amounts included for
2018 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) was established under provisions
of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996
Act), P.L. 104–127, approved April 4, 1996. RMA is responsible for administration and oversight of the crop insurance program as authorized
under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C.1501 et seq.). This account
includes resources to maintain ongoing operations of the Federal crop insurance program and other functions assigned to RMA such as risk management education. The 2019 Budget requests $38 million in discretionary
funds. In addition, this funding is enhanced by the requested appropriations
of $20 million to be offset with the first $20 million in fees collected from
the sale of crop insurance policies. RMA also plans to transfer $9 million
from mandatory FCIC funding for reviews, compliance and integrity under
section 516(b)(2)(C) to the S&E account in 2019. By having the offsetting
collections from the fees and transferring the additional mandatory funds
into the S&E account, RMA will be able to use the full $67 million in funds
more efficiently and flexibly to maintain operations.
The request for the direct appropriation for RMA S&E is reduced starting
in 2019 to reflect the activities of the new Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) Business Center, which has centralized a number of administrative and information technology operations for RMA, NRCS and FSA
that were formerly performed within each of those individual agencies.
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 FCIC Fund
account. The funding in this account appropriately covers administrative
activities for RMA. RMA is also provided approximately $27 million in
additional mandatory funding that is authorized in the Farm Bill for specific
administrative and IT related costs, and spent directly out of the FCIC fund.

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is administered by the
Risk Management Agency (RMA), and provides economic stability to agriculture through crop insurance. The Federal crop insurance program includes products providing crop yield and revenue insurance, pasture, rangeland forage, and livestock insurance, as well as other educational and
risk mitigation initiatives/tools. The Federal crop insurance program
provides farmers with a risk management program that protects against
agricultural production losses due to natural disasters such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, wind, lightning, and insects. In addition to these
causes, revenue insurance programs are available to protect against loss of
revenue. Federal crop insurance is available for more than 350 different
commodities in over 3,066 counties covering all 50 states, and Puerto Rico.
For the 2017 Crop Year, there were 1.12 million policies written with $10.1
billion in premiums.
Federal crop insurance policies are sold and serviced by 16 private crop
insurance companies that share in the risk on the policies they sell under
terms set out by USDA's Standard Reinsurance Agreement. The risk sharing
is designed to be in favor of the companies, not one for one with the government. In most years the companies realize underwriting gains. In bad
years, the companies' underwriting losses are minimalized because the
government takes on more of the risk and ultimately back-stops the program
after a certain level of loss. Currently, the government provides companies,
on average, $1.1 billion a year in underwriting gains. In addition, the government pays the companies an Administrative and Operating (A&O)
subsidy to offset the costs incurred to carry out the program. They are reimbursed on average for about 14.5 percent of the premiums sold. The
government currently pays $1.4 billion annually for A&O. For the 2019
Budget, the payments to the companies are projected to be $2.6 billion in
combined subsidies.
The 2019 Budget requests funding to support $12.3 billion in obligations.
Funding estimates for 2018 and 2019 as well as the outyears are based on
a 1.0 loss ratio, which is the statutory target loss ratio used for estimating
future crop insurance costs.
The minimum level of coverage is Catastrophic (CAT) crop insurance,
which compensates the farmer for losses exceeding 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 CAT coverage
is an annual administrative fee of $300 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. They also depend on the producer's
average production history (APH). 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 specified products is provided by extending traditional crop insurance protection, based on actual production history, to include price variability based on futures market prices. Producers have a
choice of revenue protection (protection against loss of revenue caused by
low prices, low yields, or a combination of both) or yield protection (protection for production losses only) within one Basic Provision and the applicable Crop Provision.
Currently for revenue protection, the farmer can opt to cover the projected
or the harvest price. Traditional revenue insurance only protects against a
projected price, where the farmer is guaranteed a price at the time of
planting. Revenue coverage that protects the price at the time of harvest
guarantees the price to the farmer for the higher of the projected price or
the harvest price. This additional revenue protection allows farmers to
hedge against low prices at harvest. The harvest price protection policies
are more costly than traditional revenue coverage and therefore more
heavily subsidized by the government. Almost all farmers choose the harvest
price option because taxpayers pay such a large portion of the extra
premium.
A crop insurance policy also contains coverage for when a producer is
prevented from planting their crop due to weather and other perils. When
an insured producer is unable to plant their crop within the planting time
period because of excessive drought or moisture, they may file a prevented
planting claim, which pays a portion of their full coverage level. It is optional for the producer to plant a second crop on the acres. If the producer
does, the prevented planting claim on the first crop is reduced and the
producer's APH is updated to incorporate that year. If the producer does
not plant a second crop, they get their full prevented planting claim, and
their APH is not affected in subsequent years for premium calculation
purposes.
The 2019 Budget proposes to permanently cancel $4 million in funds in
this account from the Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA).
This program is authorized by section 524(b) of the Federal Crop Insurance
Act (7 U.S.C. 1524(b)), as amended. It authorizes $10 million annually for
the program, of which RMA receives 40 percent. This program is implemented by RMA, the Agricultural marketing Service, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The RMA activities are carried out in 16
states in which participation in the Federal Crop Insurance Program is
historically low. The program provides assistance to producers to reduce
their costs for crop insurance.
The following table illustrates Crop Year statistics used to prepare the
2019 Budget. Crop Year is generally all activity for crops from July 1-June
30 of a given year.

Financing.—The Corporation is authorized under the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, to use funds from the issuance of capital stock which
provides working capital for the Corporation.
Receipts, which are for deposit to this fund, mainly come from premiums
paid by farmers. The principal payments from this fund are for indemnities
to insured farmers, and administrative expenses for approved insurance
providers.
Premium subsidies are authorized by section 508(b) of the Federal Crop
Insurance Act, as amended, and are received through appropriations.
The following table illustrates premium subsidies and indemnities for all
crop years as expected to occur during the period of October 1- September
30 for fiscal years 2018 and 2019.

policies without harvest price coverage would be reduced by 10 percentage
points. The proposal would not impact premium subsidy associated with
catastrophic coverage. It would reduce the generous subsidies that are arguably no longer necessary to encourage participation, as crop insurance
is now an established part of the farm industry's business plans. (Saves
$22.4 billion over 10 years)
2. Better Control Underwriting Gains to Insurance Companies: The
Budget proposes to reduce the generous subsidies provided to participating
insurance companies by placing a "cap" on underwriting gains at 12 percent.
A USDA commissioned study found that when compared to other private
companies, crop insurance companies rate of return should be around 12
percent, but that it is currently expected to be 14 percent. The proposal will
ensure that participating crop insurance companies receive a reasonable
rate of return given the risks associated with their participation in the crop
insurance program. (Saves $3 billion over 10 years)
3. In addition to these proposals, the 2019 Budget proposes to target crop
insurance subsidies to those producers that have an Adjusted Gross Income
(AGI) of $500,000 or less. It is hard to justify providing assistance to
farmers with incomes over half a million dollars. Doing so undermines the
credibility and the purpose of farm programs. The current AGI limitation
of $900,000 is overly generous and does not apply to crop insurance subsidies. Strengthening the income test for crop insurance will improve program integrity. (Saves $724 million over 10 years)
Collectively, the changes are expected to save $26 billion over 10 years.

FEDERAL CROP INSURANCE CORPORATION FUND
(Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO)

The 2019 Budget includes three proposals that are designed to optimize
the current crop insurance program so that it will continue to provide a
quality safety net at a lower cost, as well as introduce a measure of means
testing to the beneficiaries of the crop insurance subsidies:
1. Reduce Premium Subsidies for Crop Insurance: The 2019 Budget
proposes to reduce the percent premium subsidy provided under the Federal
crop insurance program. Specifically, the premium subsidy for policies
with harvest price coverage will be reduced by 15 percentage points,

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. 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, which provides crop loss protection
for growers of many crops for which crop insurance is not available. FSA
also assists in the administration of several conservation cost-share programs
financed by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), including the
Grasslands Reserve Program (GRP).
This consolidated administrative expenses account includes funds to
cover expenses of programs administered by, and functions assigned to,
FSA. 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. The
2019 Budget requests a total of $1.19 billion for administrative expenses.

USDA's Service Center Agencies comprise FSA, Natural Resources
Conservation Service, and Rural Development offices that 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. Activities of the Agency include providing
price loss coverage and agriculture risk coverage, 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 safety net to eligible producers when
natural disasters adversely affect their farming operation. These programs
range from covering losses of grazing under the Livestock Forage Disaster
Program; orchard trees and nursery to help replant or rehabilitate trees
under the Tree Assistance Program; production under the Noninsured Crop
Disaster Assistance Program; livestock under the Livestock Indemnity
Program; and livestock, honeybees and farm raised fish for losses that are
not covered under the previously listed programs under the Emergency
Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm Raised Fish.
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 base acres for farm planting history; (d) notifying producers of established base acres and farm planting histories; (e) conducting referendums
and certifying results; (f) accepting farmer certifications and checking
compliance for specific purposes; (g) processing commodity loan documents
and issuing checks; (h) processing price loss coverage and agricultural risk
coverage 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 implementing practices to conserve soil, water,
air, and wildlife resources on America's farmland and ranches to help protect
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 contracting,
financial reporting, and other administrative operations processes. These
activities include: (a) processing producer requests for conservation costsharing and issuing conservation reserve rental payments; and (b) transferring funds to the Natural Resources Conservation Service and other agencies
for other conservation programs.
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 underserved 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,

The Claims Resolution Act of 2010, P.L. 111–291 that was signed into
law on December 8, 2010, provides funding to settle claims of prior discrimination brought by black farmers against the Department of Agriculture.
These funds supplement funding previously provided to USDA for this
purpose by section 14012 of P.L. 110–246. Claimants that suffered discrimination between 1989 and 1997 and submitted a late-filing request can seek
fast-track payments of up to $50,000 plus debt relief, or choose a longer,
more rigorous review and documentation process for damages of up to
$250,000. The actual value of awards may be reduced based on the total
amount of funds made available and the number of successful claims.

The Agricultural Act of 2014 re-authorized the Reimbursement Transportation Cost Payment Program for Geographically Disadvantaged
Farmers and Ranchers (RTCP) program for FY 2012 and each succeeding
fiscal year subject to appropriated funding. The purpose of RTCP is to
offset a portion of the higher cost of transporting agricultural inputs and
commodities over long distances. This program assists farmers and ranchers
residing outside the 48 contiguous states that are at a competitive disadvantage when transporting agriculture products to the market. RTCP benefits
are calculated based on the costs incurred by the producer for transportation
of the agricultural commodity or inputs during a fiscal year, subject to an
$8,000 per producer cap per fiscal year. RTCP enrollments for FY 2017
began on July 17, 2017, and ended on September 08, 2017. Payments for
FY 2017 signup will be disbursed in FY 2018. No funding is requested in
the 2019 Budget for this program.

The Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) was authorized by the
Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2201–05). It provides funds
for sharing the cost of emergency measures to deal with cases of severe
damage to farmlands and rangelands resulting from natural disasters.
During 2017, 41 States participated in ECP, with new or continued activity
from the previous year, involving approximately $57 million in cost-share
and technical assistance funds outlays. The Further Continuing and Security
Assistance Appropriations Act, 2017 provided $103 million for disasters
declared pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. The 2019 Budget does not propose
funding for this program.

The Grassroots Source Water Protection Program (GSWPP) is a joint
project by USDA's Farm Service Agency and the nonprofit National Rural
Water Association. It is designed to help prevent source water pollution in
States through voluntary practices installed by producers at the local level.
GSWPP uses onsite technical assistance capabilities of each State rural
water association that operates a wellhead or groundwater protection program in the State. State rural water associations can deliver assistance in
developing source water protection plans within priority watersheds for
the common goal of preventing the contamination of drinking water supplies. The Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, continues the authority for this program. The 2019 Budget proposes no funding for this
program.

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, conservation, and emergency
loans to individuals. Indian tribes and tribal corporations are eligible for
Indian land acquisition loans, while individual Native Americans are eligible
for loans for the purchase of highly fractionated Indian lands. Boll weevil
eradication loans are available to eliminate the cotton boll weevil pest from
infested areas. The 2019 Budget requests $77.3 million for loan subsidies.
The 2019 Budget requests a program level of $7.618 billion . Per 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 administrative costs, the 2019 Budget requests
$292.6 million.
Under the Dairy Indemnity Program, 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 2017, $217,760 was
paid to producers who filed claims under the program. The 2019 Budget
requests such sums as may be necessary, which are estimated to be $500,000
for this program in 2019.

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.
The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Farm Bill) repeals certain programs, continues some programs with modifications, and authorizes several
new programs. Most of these programs are authorized and funded through
2018.

The 2018 and 2019 budget estimates are primarily driven by ample world
grain supplies and modest demand growth that keep prices from returning
to pre–2014 Farm Bill levels for major crops. Lower acreage coupled with
modest increases in use and exports are expected to stabilize or support
small price increases in marketing years 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. Nonetheless, there will be significant Price Loss Coverage and Agriculture
Risk Coverage payments. Outlay projections are subject to complex and
unpredictable factors such as weather, U.S. and world consumer income
growth, factors which affect the volume of production crops not yet planted,
demands for feed, food, and bio-energy here and overseas, and foreign
currency exchange rates and the value of the U.S. dollar overall.
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.
Price support is mandatory for sugar. Marketing assistance loans are
mandatory for wheat, feed grains, oilseeds, upland cotton, peanuts, rice,
and pulse crops. Loans are also required to be made for sugar, honey, wool,
mohair, and extra-long staple cotton.
One method of providing support is loans to and purchases from producers. With limited exceptions, loans made on commodities are nonrecourse.
The commodities serve as collateral for the loan and on maturity the producer may deliver or forfeit such collateral to satisfy the loan obligation
without further payment.
Direct purchases may be made from processors as well as producers,
depending on the commodity involved. Also, special purchases are made
under various laws for the removal of surpluses; for example, the Act of

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

August 19, 1958, as amended, and section 416 of the Agricultural Act of
1949, as amended.
Commodity Payment Programs.—The 2014 Farm Bill repealed Direct
Payments, Counter-Cyclical Payments and Average Crop Revenue Election
Payments and established two new programs, Price Loss Coverage and
Agriculture Risk Coverage.
Price Loss Coverage (PLC).—Payments are issued when the effective
price of a covered commodity is less than the respective reference price
for that commodity established in the statute. The payment is equal to 85
percent of the base acres of the covered commodity times the difference
between the reference price and the effective price times the program
payment yield for the covered commodity.
Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC).—There are two types: County ARC
and Individual ARC.
County ARC: Payments are issued when the actual county crop revenue
of a covered commodity is less than the ARC county guarantee for the
covered commodity and are based on county data, not farm data. The ARC
county guarantee equals 86 percent of the previous 5-year average national
farm price, excluding the years with the highest and lowest price (the ARC
guarantee price), times the 5-year average county yield, excluding the years
with the highest and lowest yield (the ARC county guarantee yield). Both
the guarantee and actual revenue are computed using base acres, not planted
acres. The payment is equal to 85 percent of the base acres of the covered
commodity times the difference between the county guarantee and the actual county crop revenue for the covered commodity. Payments may not
exceed 10 percent of the benchmark county revenue (the ARC guarantee
price times the ARC county guarantee yield).
Individual ARC: Payments are issued when the actual individual crop
revenues, summed across all covered commodities on the farm, are less
than ARC individual guarantees summed across those covered commodities
on the farm. The farm for individual ARC purposes is the sum of the producer's interest in all ARC farms in the State. The farm's ARC individual
guarantee equals 86 percent of the farm's individual benchmark guarantee,
which is defined as the ARC guarantee price times the 5-year average individual yield, excluding the years with the highest and lowest yields, and
summing across all crops on the farm. The actual revenue is computed in
a similar fashion, with both the guarantee and actual revenue computed
using planted acreage on the farm. The individual ARC payment equals:
a) 65 percent of the sum of the base acres of all covered commodities on
the farm, times b) the difference between the individual guarantee revenue
and the actual individual crop revenue across all covered commodities
planted on the farm. Payments may not exceed 10 percent of the individual
benchmark revenue.
Base Reallocation and Yield Updates.—Owners of farms that participate
in PLC or ARC programs for the 2014–2018 crops have a one-time opportunity to: 1) maintain the farm's 2013 bases through 2018; or 2) reallocate
base acres (excluding cotton bases). Covered commodities include wheat,
oats, barley, corn, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, sunflower seed, rapeseed,
canola, safflower, flaxseed, mustard seed, crambe and sesame seed, dry
peas, lentils, small chickpeas, and large chickpeas. Upland cotton is no
longer considered a covered commodity, but the upland cotton base acres
on the farm are renamed "generic" base acres. Producers may receive
payments on generic base acres if those acres are planted to a covered
commodity.
A producer also has the opportunity to update the counter-cyclical payment yield for each covered commodity based on 90 percent of the farm's
2008–2012 average yield per planted acre, excluding any year when no
acreage was planted to the covered commodity. Program payment yields
are used to determine payment amounts for the Price Loss Coverage program.
Election Required.—All of the producers on a farm must make a onetime, unanimous election of: 1) PLC/County ARC on a covered-commodityby-covered-commodity basis; or 2) Individual ARC for all covered commodities on the farm. If the producers on the farm elect PLC/County ARC,

Farm Service Agency—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

103

the producers must also make a one-time election to select which base
acres on the farm are enrolled in PLC and which base acres are enrolled
in County ARC. Alternatively, if Individual ARC is selected, then every
covered commodity on the farm must participate in Individual ARC.
The election between ARC and PLC is made in 2014 and a producer
cannot switch to ARC (from PLC), or vice versa, in subsequent years. If
an election is not made in 2014, the farm may not participate in either PLC
or ARC for the 2014 crop year and the producers on the farm are deemed
to have elected PLC for subsequent crop years, but must still enroll their
farm to receive coverage. If the sum of the base acres on a farm is 10 acres
or less, the producer on that farm may not receive PLC or ARC payments,
unless the producer is a socially disadvantaged farmer or rancher or is a
limited resource farmer or rancher. Payments for PLC and ARC are issued
after the end of the respective crop year, but not before October 1.
Producers enrolling in PLC, and who also participate in the Federal crop
insurance program, may, beginning with the 2015 crop, make the annual
choice whether to purchase additional crop insurance coverage called the
Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO). SCO provides the producer the
option of covering a portion of his or her crop insurance deductible and is
based on expected county yields or revenue. The cost of SCO is subsidized
and indemnities are determined by the yield or revenue loss for the county
or area. SCO is not available to producers who enroll in ARC.
Adjusted Gross Income.—Adjusted gross income (AGI) provisions have
been simplified and modified. Producers whose average AGI exceeds
$900,000 during a crop, fiscal, or program year are not eligible to participate
in most programs administered by FSA and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Previous AGI provisions distinguished between
farm and nonfarm AGI.
Payment Limitations.—The total amount of payments received, directly
and indirectly, by a person or legal entity (except joint ventures or general
partnerships) for Price Loss Coverage, Agriculture Risk Coverage, marketing loan gains, and loan deficiency payments (other than for peanuts), may
not exceed $125,000 per crop year. A person or legal entity that receives
payments for peanuts has a separate $125,000 payment limitation.
Cotton transition payments are limited to $40,000 per year. For the livestock disaster programs, a total $125,000 annual limitation applies for
payments under the Livestock Indemnity Program, the Livestock Forage
Program, and the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees and
Farm-Raised Fish program. A separate $125,000 annual limitation applies
to payments under the Tree Assistance Program.
Cotton Transition.—Upland cotton is the only "covered commodity" that
is no longer eligible to participate in these programs, but rather, became
eligible for the new Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX) offered by
the Risk Management Agency (RMA). Upland cotton was eligible for
transition payments made by FSA only for the 2014 and 2015 crops.
Marketing Assistance Loans (MALs) and Sugar Loans.—The 2014 Farm
Bill extends the authority for sugar loans for the 2014 through 2018 crop
years and nonrecourse marketing assistance loans (MALs) and loan deficiency payment (LDPs) for the 2014–2018 crops of wheat, corn, grain
sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, extra-long staple cotton (eligible for
loans only), long grain rice, medium grain rice, soybeans, other oilseeds
(including sunflower seed, rapeseed, canola, safflower, flaxseed, mustard
seed, crambe and sesame seed), dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, large
chickpeas, graded and nongraded wool, mohair, honey, unshorn pelts, and
peanuts. Availability of loans for some commodities may be affected by
appropriations language. Provisions are mostly unchanged from the 2008
Farm Bill, except marketing loan gains and loan deficiency payments are
subject to payment limitations. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016
(Public Law 114–113) amended the Federal Agriculture Improvement and
Reform Act of 1996, allowing producers to receive certificates in lieu of
marketing loan gains or loan deficiency payments starting with the 2015
crop marketing year.

DAIRY PROGRAMS

The Dairy Margin Protection Program. This program replaced the Milk
Income Loss Contract program and will be effective from September 1,
2014, through December 31, 2018. The margin protection program offers
dairy producers: (1) catastrophic coverage, at no cost to the producer, other
than an annual $100 administrative fee; and (2) various levels of buy-up
coverage. Catastrophic coverage provides payments to participating producers when the national dairy production margin is less than $4.00 per
hundredweight (cwt). The national dairy production margin is the difference
between the all-milk price and average feed costs. Producers may purchase
buy-up coverage that provides payments when margins are between $4.00
and $8.00 per cwt. To participate in buy-up coverage, a producer must pay
a premium that varies with the level of protection the producer elects. In
addition, the 2014 Farm Bill creates the Dairy Product Donation Program.
This program is triggered in times of low operating margins for dairy producers, and requires USDA to purchase dairy products for donation to food
banks and other feeding programs.
Dairy Indemnity Payment Program (DIPP).—The program provides
payments to dairy producers when a public regulatory agency directs them
to remove their raw milk from the commercial market because it has been
contaminated by pesticides and other residues.
OTHER PROGRAMS

Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).—NAP has been
expanded to include buy-up protection, similar to buy-up provisions offered
under the federal crop insurance program. Producers may elect coverage
for each individual crop between 50 and 65 percent, in 5 percent increments,
at 100 percent of the average market price. Producers also pay a fixed
premium equal to 5.25 percent of the liability. The waiver of service fees
has been expanded from just limited resource farmers to also include beginning farmers and socially disadvantaged farmers. The premiums for
buy-up coverage are reduced by 50 percent for those same farmers. NAP
coverage is expanded to include crops grown expressly for the purpose of
producing a feedstock for renewable biofuel, renewable electricity, or
biobased products. NAP is also made available to producers that suffered
a loss to a 2012 annual fruit crop grown on a bush or tree in a county declared a disaster by the Secretary due to a freeze or frost. Grazing land is
not eligible for buy-up coverage.
Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP).—BCAP provides incentives
to farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to establish, cultivate and harvest
eligible biomass for heat, power, bio-based products, research and advanced
biofuels. Crop producers and bioenergy facilities can team together to
submit proposals to USDA for selection as a BCAP project area. BCAP
has been extended through 2018 and is authorized at $25 million per fiscal
year. The program is capped at $3 million.
Feedstock Flexibility Program (FFP).—FFP is continued through fiscal
year 2018. Congress authorized the FFP in the 2008 Farm Bill, allowing
for the purchase of sugar to be sold for the production of bioenergy in order
to avoid forfeitures of sugar loan collateral under the Sugar Program.
DISASTER PROGRAMS

The following four disaster programs were authorized by the 2008 Farm
Bill under the USDA Supplemental Disaster Assistance program. These
programs were re-authorized under CCC in the 2014 Farm Bill and extended
indefinitely (beyond the horizon of the 2014 Farm Bill). The programs
were made retroactive to October 1, 2011. Producers are no longer required
to purchase crop insurance or NAP coverage to be eligible for these programs (the risk management purchase requirement) as mandated by the
2008 Farm Bill.
Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP).—LFP provides compensation
to eligible livestock producers that have suffered grazing losses due to
drought or fire on land that is native or improved pastureland with permanent vegetative cover or that is planted specifically for grazing. LFP payments for drought are equal to 60 percent of the monthly feed cost for up

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

to 5 months, depending upon the severity of the drought. LFP payments
for fire on federally managed rangeland are equal to 50 percent of the
monthly feed cost for the number of days the producer is prohibited from
grazing the managed rangeland, not to exceed 180 calendar days.
Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP).—LIP provides benefits to livestock
producers for livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by
adverse weather or by attacks by animals reintroduced into the wild by the
Federal Government. LIP payments are equal to 75 percent of the average
fair market value of the livestock.
Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish
(ELAP).—ELAP provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of
livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish for losses due to disease (including cattle tick fever), adverse weather, or other conditions, such as blizzards
and wildfires, not covered by LFP and LIP. Total payments are capped at
$20 million in a fiscal year.
Tree Assistance Program (TAP).—TAP provides financial assistance to
qualifying orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate
eligible trees, bushes, and vines damaged by natural disasters.
FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

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 2014 Farm Bill
continues the authority for the MAP program with annual funding of $200
million for 2014–2018.
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. 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.
Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops and Emerging Markets.—Emerging Markets is extended through 2018. Technical Assistance for Specialty
Crops is extended through 2018 with annual funding of $9 million for each
fiscal year.
The Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust.—The Bill Emerson Humanitarian
Trust (BEHT) is a commodity and/or monetary reserve designed to ensure
that the United States can meet its international food aid commitments.
Assets of the Trust can be released any time the Administrator of the U.S.
Agency for International Development determines that PL 480 Title II is
inadequate to meet those needs in any fiscal year. When a release from the
Trust is authorized, the Trust's assets cover all commodity costs associated
with the release. All non-commodity costs, including ocean freight charges;
internal transportation, handling, and storage overseas; and certain administrative costs are paid by CCC. The 2014 Farm Bill extends the authorization to replenish the BEHT through 2018.
CONSERVATION PROGRAMS

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).—The 2014 Farm Bill extends
the authorization of CRP with modifications. The acreage cap is gradually
lowered to 24 million acres for fiscal years 2017 and 2018. The requirement
to reduce rental payments under emergency haying and grazing is eliminated. Rental payment reductions of not less than 25 percent are required
for managed haying and grazing. Producers are also given the opportunity
for an "early-out" from their CRP contracts, but only in fiscal year 2015.
The rental payment portion of the Grassland Reserve Program enrollment
has been incorporated into the CRP.
The Transition Incentive Program (TIP).—The 2014 Farm Bill allows
for the transition of CRP land to a beginning or socially disadvantaged
farmer or rancher so land can be returned to sustainable grazing or crop
production. TIP now includes eligibility for military veterans (i.e., "veteran
farmers").

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

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; RMA; other agencies
of the Department engaged in the Corporation's activities; and the Office
of 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.''
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 remains in
2017 and 2018.
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.

Bill and other Corporation programs. Once transferred the expenses are
recorded in the receiving agencies accounts.

FINANCING

Appropriations.—Reimbursement for Net Realized Losses. Under Section
2 of Public Law 87 155, the Act of August 17 1961 (15 U.S.C. 713a 11),
annual appropriations are authorized for each fiscal year, commencing with
1961, to reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses. The Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 amended Public Law 87–155 to authorize that the Corporation is reimbursed for its net realized losses by means
of a current, indefinite appropriation as provided in annual appropriations
acts.
Borrowing authority.—The Corporation has an authorized capital stock
of $100 million held by the U.S. Treasury and, effective in 1988, authority
to have outstanding borrowings up to $30 billion at any one time. Funds
are borrowed from the Treasury and may also be borrowed from private
lending agencies and others. The Corporation reserves a sufficient amount
of its borrowing authority to purchase at any time all notes and other obligations evidencing loans made to the Corporation by such agencies and
others. All bonds, notes, debentures, and similar obligations issued by the
Corporation are subject to approval by the Secretary of the Treasury as
required by the Act of March 8, 1938.
Interest on borrowings from the Treasury (and on capital stock) is paid
at a rate based upon the average interest rate of all outstanding marketable
obligations (of comparable maturity date) of the United States as of the
preceding month. Interest is also paid on other notes and obligations at a
rate prescribed by the Corporation and approved by the Secretary of the
Treasury. The Department of Agriculture and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1966, made provision for terminating interest after June 30, 1964
on the portion of the Corporation's borrowings from the Treasury equal to
the unreimbursed realized losses recorded on the books of the Corporation
after the end of the fiscal year in which such losses are realized.
Non-Expenditure Transfers.—The Commodity Credit Corporation
transfers CCC funds to several agencies responsible for administering Farm

The 2019 President's Budget targets commodity assistance, crop insurance
subsidies, and conservation assistance to producers that have an Adjusted
Gross Income (AGI) of $500,000 or less. It is hard to justify to hardworking
taxpayers why the Federal government should provide assistance to wealthy
farmers with incomes over a half a million dollars. Doing so undermines
the credibility and purpose of farm programs. Additionally, it closes payment limit loopholes by eliminating commodity certificates, including
market loan forfeitures in the $125,000 payment limit, eliminating separate
payment limit for peanut producers, and limiting all farms to one manager.
The Budget also eliminates funding for a number of programs for which
there is no Federal purpose or to avoid duplication, those programs include
the Market Access Program, the Agricultural Wool Apparel Trust Fund,
Economic Adjustment Assistance for Upland Cotton Users, and Food for

Progress. The Livestock Forage Program was eliminated to avoid duplication with crop insurance programs. Lastly, the Budget changes the focus
of the Conservation Reserve Program away from temporarily removing
large tracts of land from production to one where the payment would help
preserve sensitive agricultural corridors, increase soil health, and reform
the program's use of distortionary signing and incentive payments.

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 18 months. 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 Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). If the foreign
bank fails to make any payment as agreed, the exporter or assignee must
submit a notice of default to the CCC. A claim for loss must be filed, and
the CCC will promptly pay claims found to be in good order. CCC usually
guarantees 98 percent of the principal payment due and interest based on
a percentage of the one-year Treasury rate.
A portion of the 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 are determined in large
part by the obligor's sovereign or non-sovereign country risk grade. These
grades are developed annually by the International Credit Risk Assessment
System Committee (ICRAS). In unusual circumstances, an ICRAS grade
for a country may change during the fiscal year. The default estimates for
GSM-102 guarantees still use the ICRAS grades, but are now based on
programmatic experience and country-specific assumptions rather than the
government-wide risk premia used previously.
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 2019 Budget displays the GSM loan guarantee volume,
the subsidy level that can be justified by forecast economic conditions, and
the expected supply/demand conditions of countries requesting GSM loan
guarantees. The 2019 Budget includes $6.7 million for administrative expenses.

Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) Program.—The FSFL program was
established by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) in 1949 to offer
low-cost financing to producers for the construction or upgrade of on-farm
storage facilities—the program was discontinued in the early 1980s when
studies showed sufficient storage space was available. The FSFL was reestablished in 2000 due to a severe shortage of available storage. The program was implemented in 2000 by CCC under Section 504(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. The Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014
Farm Bill) continues the authority for this program. The program now
provides producers financing with seven, ten, or twelve-year repayment
terms and low interest rates. The program also offers a micro-loan option
for loans under $50,000 with three, five, or seven year repayment terms.
The program gives producers greater marketing flexibility when farm
storage is limited and/or transportation difficulties cause storage problems,
allows farmers to benefit from new marketing and technological advances,
and maximizes their returns through identity-preserved marketing.
Sugar Storage Facility Loans.—The 2002 Farm Bill, as amended by the
2008 Farm Bill and extended in the 2014 Farm Bill, directs that CCC establish a sugar storage facility loan program to provide financing for processors of domestically produced sugarcane and sugar beets to construct
or upgrade storage and handling facilities for raw sugars and refined sugars.
The loan term is a minimum of seven years with the amount and terms
being determined as any other commercial loan.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992
and beyond, as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy
amounts are estimated on a present value basis, and the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

APPLE LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

The Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized up to $5 million
for the cost to provide loans to producers of apples for economic losses as
the result of low prices. Although the program is funded through the
Commodity Credit Corporation, program management is performed through
farm loan programs. No further funding is requested for this 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 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 Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund, established under Section
902 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, administered by
USDA Farm Service Agency, used to execute payments to farmers and
ranchers under the following five disaster assistance programs: Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program, Livestock Forage
Disaster Program (LFP), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), Tree Assistance Program (TAP), and Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey
Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish (ELAP) Program. The Agricultural Act of
2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, extended all but SURE and shifted the funding
authority for these disaster programs from the Agriculture Disaster Relief
Trust Fund to the Commodity Credit Corporation. In FY 2017, the outlays
are due to residual payments, corrections and/or appeals to obligations incurred during crop years 2008–2011. Obligations in 2018 will be still be
required to make residual payments for disaster programs under the Disaster
Trust authority.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) supports the rural
economy and helps private landowners and producers protect the natural
resource base on private lands. NRCS provides technical assistance to
farmers, ranchers and other private landowners to support the development
of conservation plans that are designed to safeguard natural resources and
improve wildlife habitat, and provide financial assistance through mandatory
Farm Bill conservation programs to partially offset the cost to install
practices included in those plans. NRCS provides additional science-based
support for conservation efforts through soil surveys, snow survey and
water supply forecasting, and plant materials centers. These activities are
supported by appropriated funding, including funding requested in the
Private Lands Conservation Operations account, and by mandatory funding
in the Farm Security and Rural Investment account. NRCS comprises over
10,000 employees with a wide range of natural resource backgrounds, including soil and rangeland conservation, wildlife biology, forestry and
engineering. Through this collective conservationist workforce, the Administration strives to protect the natural resource base on private lands. The
2019 Budget requests a total of $669 million for Private Lands Conservation
Operations.
Technical assistance.—Through the Conservation Technical Assistance
(CTA) Program, NRCS provides its customers and partners - agricultural
producers, private landowners, conservation districts, Tribes, and other
organizations - the knowledge and conservation tools they need to conserve,
maintain, and improve our private-land natural resources. This assistance
centers around individual and landscape-scale conservation plans that
contain optimal strategies tailored to protect the resources on the land they
manage. Actions described in the plans help land managers reduce erosion;
protect water quality and quantity; improve air quality; enhance the quality
of fish and wildlife habitat; improve long-term sustainability of all lands;
and facilitate land use changes while protecting and sustaining our natural
resources. The CTA Program also provides the science-based tools that
support conservation planning.

In addition to technical assistance for conservation planning provided
through the CTA Program, NRCS also offers technical assistance for the
design, implementation, and management of cost-shared conservation
practices through mandatory Farm Bill conservation programs under the
Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs. This combined technical
assistance funding provides for the salaries and expenses of conservation
professionals, including NRCS's extensive field staff and a growing number
of technical service providers and other cooperators who work with land
managers in assessing and applying conservation strategies.
Soil surveys.—The primary focus of the Soil Survey Program is to provide
current and consistent map interpretations and data sets of the soil resources
of the United States. Managing soil as a strategic natural resource is key
to the vitality of the Nation's rural economy. Scientists and policy makers
use soil survey information to help evaluate the sustainability and environmental effects of land use and management practices. Soil surveys are used
by planners, engineers, farmers, ranchers, developers, and home owners
to evaluate soil suitability and make management decisions for farms, home
sites, subdivisions, commercial and industrial sites, and wildlife and recreational areas. NRCS is the lead Federal agency for the National Cooperative
Soil Survey (NCSS), a partnership of Federal land management agencies,
State agricultural experiment stations, private consultants, and State and
local governments that works to cooperatively investigate, inventory,
document, classify, interpret, disseminate, and publish information about
soils. NRCS provides the scientific expertise to enable the NCSS to develop
and maintain a uniform system for mapping and assessing soil resources.

Snow survey and water supply forecasting.—The purpose of the program
is to provide western States and Alaska with information on future water
supplies for decisions relating to agricultural production, fish and wildlife
management, municipal and industrial water supply, urban development,
flood control, recreation power generation, and water quality management.
NRCS field staff and cooperators collect and analyze data on snow depth,
snow water equivalent, and other climate parameters at approximately
2,000 remote, high elevation data collection sites. The water supply forecasts are used by individual farmers and ranchers; water resource managers; Federal, State, and local government agencies; municipal and industrial water providers; hydroelectric power generation utilities; irrigation
districts; fish and wildlife management agencies; reservoir project managers; recreationists; Tribal Nations; and the countries of Canada and
Mexico.
Plant Material Centers (PMCs).— NRCS operates 25 PMCs, each based
in ecologically distinct areas, to evaluate plants and vegetative technologies
to support USDA conservation programs and practices. NRCS's network
of 25 PMCs identify, evaluate, and demonstrate the performance of plants
and plant technologies to help solve natural resource problems and improve
the utilization of our nation's natural resources. PMCs continue to build
on their long and successful history of releasing plants for resource conservation, which has been instrumental in increasing the commercial availability of appropriate plant materials for the public. PMC plants and plant
technologies contribute to reducing soil erosion; increasing cropland soil
health and productivity; restoring wetlands, improving water quality, improving wildlife habitat (including pollinators); protecting streambank and
riparian areas; stabilizing coastal dunes; producing forage; improving air
quality; and addressing other conservation treatment needs.
The studies conducted by PMCs provide a basis for NRCS vegetative
recommendations and conservation practices. The work performed by the
PMC staff ensures that NRCS conservation practices are scientificallybased, improves the knowledge of NRCS field staff through PMC-led
training sessions and demonstrations, and results in recommendations to
meet new and emerging natural resource issues. The work at PMCs is
carried out cooperatively with State and Federal agencies, universities,
Tribes, commercial businesses, and seed and nursery associations. PMC
activities directly benefit private landowners and Federal and State land
managing agencies.
In 2019 the Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) Business Center
is expected to be fully implemented with a separate appropriation. The
FPAC Business Center is a centralized operations office within the FPAC
Mission Area responsible for financial management, budgeting, human
resources, information technology, acquisitions/procurement, customer
experience, internal controls, risk management, strategic and annual planning, and other similar activities for the FPAC Mission area and its component agencies, including the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and the Risk Management Agency
(RMA). This account includes a funding reduction that offsets, in part, the
request for the FPAC Business Center. The funding requested for the FPAC
Business Center is an estimate based on current staffing in the FPAC
agencies, including NRCS, FSA, and RMA, and the estimated costs for
implementing the Business Center. The final design for the FPAC Business
Center is expected to be completed during FY 2018, and that design may
affect the estimated cost and staff years for the Business Center.

Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 provides mandatory funding
for critical conservation efforts on private lands, including critical wetlands,
grasslands, forests, and farm and ranch lands. For conservation programs
where NRCS is the lead implementation agency, funds are transferred from
the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to the Farm Security and Rural
Investment Programs account. This mandatory funding supports NRCS's
efforts to protect the natural resource base on private lands by providing
technical assistance to farmers, ranchers and other private landowners to
support the development of conservation plans, and by providing financial
assistance to partially offset the cost to install practices necessary to safeguard natural resources and improve wildlife habitat.
The Agricultural Act of 2014 amended Title XII of the Food Security
Act of 1985, reauthorizing some programs, repealing some programs (although the purposes of these programs are included in other programs),
and creating two new conservation programs that are administered by
NRCS. A number of conservation programs were extended in the 2019
Budget's baseline beyond 2018 based upon scorekeeping conventions.
In 2019, the Administration proposes to show the total staff resources
necessary to implement its private lands conservation program in the Private
Lands Conservation Operations account. Importantly, this new display will
not alter the current authorities under which staff resources are provided
through mandatory and discretionary funding. This account will continue
to show the funding provided for the financial assistance costs necessary
for delivering the following programs:
Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).—This program is
authorized under section 1240 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as
amended. The Agricultural Act of 2014 reauthorizes the program through
2018, and the 2019 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond that
date in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. The purpose of the program
is to promote agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible national goals. EQIP promotes the voluntary application of land-based
conservation practices and activities that maintain or improve the condition
of the soil, water, plants, and air; conserve energy; and address other natural
resource concerns. Eligible land includes cropland, rangeland, pastureland,
private nonindustrial forestland, tribal land, and other farm or ranch lands.
The land must have an identified natural resource concern that poses a
serious threat to soil, water, air, or related resources by reason of land use
practices, soil type, terrain, climatic conditions, topography, flooding, saline
characteristics, or other natural resource factors. In 2019, the Budget proposes $1.502 billion for this program and proposes to permanently cancel
funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2019.
Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP).—This program is authorized
by Section 1238D of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The
Agricultural Act of 2014 reauthorized the program through 2018, and the
2019 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond that date in the
baseline for scorekeeping purposes. The program encourages producers to
address resource concerns in a comprehensive manner by undertaking additional conservation activities and improving, maintaining and managing
existing conservation activities. The 2019 Budget proposes $1.5 billion for
this program for existing contracts and reenrollments and proposes to
cancel the enrollment of the authorized level of 10,000,000 acres.
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Technical Assistance.—CRP is
authorized by Sections 1231–1235A of the Food Security Act of 1985, as
amended, and is administered by the Farm Service Agency. NRCS supports
the program by providing technical assistance to producers to implement
conservation practices on CRP land. The Agricultural Act of 2014 reauthorized the program, and the 2019 Budget assumes $95 million in technical
assistance for NRCS support of CRP.

Natural Resources Conservation Service—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP).—ACEP consists
of two components: 1) an agricultural land easement component under
which NRCS assists eligible entities to protect agricultural land by limiting
non-agricultural uses of that land through the purchase of agricultural land
easements; and 2) a wetland reserve easement component under which
NRCS provides financial and technical assistance directly to landowners
to restore, protect and enhance wetlands through the purchase of wetlands
reserve easements. The program is authorized through 2018 by the Agricultural Act of 2014 as a Title XII program under the Food Security Act
of 1985. The 2019 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond 2018
in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. For 2019, the Budget includes
the authorized level of funding for ACEP at $250 million.
Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP).—RCPP promotes
the implementation of conservation activities through agreements between
NRCS and partners and through conservation program contracts and
easements with producers and landowners. The program is authorized
through 2018 by the Agricultural Act of 2014 as a Title XII program under
the Food Security Act of 1985. Through agreements between partners and
conservation program contracts or easements directly with producers and
landowners, RCPP helps implement conservation projects that may focus
on water quality and quantity, soil erosion, wildlife habitat, drought mitigation, and flood control, or other regional priorities. The 2019 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond 2018 in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. The authorized level of funding for RCPP is $100 million.
In addition, seven percent of the funds and acres in covered programs
(ACEP, EQIP, CSP, and HFRP) are reserved to ensure additional resources
are available to carry out this program (funds and acres not committed by
April 1 of each year revert back to the original program for use under that
program).
Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPAHIP).—The program is authorized by Section 1240R of the Food Security
Act of 1985, and Section 2503 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 reauthorizes
the program and provides $40 million for obligation between 2014 through
2018 (this program was not extended in the baseline beyond 2018). VPAHIP is a competitive grant program. Funding is limited to State and Tribal
governments establishing new public access programs, expanding existing
public access programs, and/or enhancing wildlife habitat on lands enrolled
in public access programs.
In addition to the programs authorized under the Food Security Act of
1985, NRCS implements the following conservation programs:
Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA).—This program
is authorized by Section 524(b) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C.
1524(b)), as amended. It authorizes $10 million annually for the program,
of which NRCS is to receive 50 percent. This program is implemented by
NRCS, the Agricultural Marketing Service, and the Risk Management
Agency. The NRCS AMA activities are carried out in 16 States 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 to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality. The
2019 Budget proposes to permanently cancel funding for this program.
NRCS works to deliver 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 U.S. has made great strides in improving water quality; however,
nonpoint source pollution remains a significant challenge that requires
policy attention and thoughtful new approaches. In 2019, the Budget continues the agency's efforts to better coordinate conservation efforts among
key Federal partners, along with agricultural producer organizations, conservation districts, States, Tribes, non-governmental organizations and
other local leaders to identify areas where a focused and coordinated approach can achieve substantial improvements in water quality. The Budget
builds upon the collaborative process already underway among Federal

115

partners to demonstrate substantial improvements in water quality from
conservation programs by ensuring that USDA's key investments through
Farm Bill conservation programs and related efforts are appropriately
leveraged by other Federal programs.
Finally, the Agricultural Act of 2014 repealed the Wetlands Reserve
Program, Grasslands Reserve Program and the Farmlands and Ranchlands
Protection Program and included the purposes of those programs in the
new Agricultural Conservation Easement Program referred to above. The
Agricultural Act of 2014 also repealed the Agricultural Water Enhancement
Program, Chesapeake Bay Watershed Program, Great Lakes Basin Program,
and the Cooperative Conservation Partnership Initiative and included the
purposes of those programs in the new Regional Conservation Partnership
Program referred to above. The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program has
also been repealed, and its purposes are now included in the Environmental
Quality Incentives Program.
In 2019 the Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) Business Center
is expected to be fully implemented with a separate appropriation. The
FPAC Business Center is a centralized operations office within the FPAC
Mission Area responsible for financial management, budgeting, human
resources, information technology, acquisitions/procurement, customer
experience, internal controls, risk management, strategic and annual planning, and other similar activities for the FPAC Mission area and its component agencies, including the Farm Service Agency (FSA), the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and the Risk Management Agency
(RMA). This account includes a transfer of $60,228,000 to offset funds
associated with administration and oversight of mandatory conservation
programs. The funding requested for the FPAC Business Center is an estimate based on current staffing in the FPAC agencies, including NRCS,
FSA, and RMA, and the estimated costs for implementing the Business
Center. The final design for the FPAC Business Center is expected to be
completed during FY 2018, and that design may affect the estimated cost
and staff years for the Business Center.
