The Office of the Chief Economist advises the Secretary of Agriculture on the economic implications of Department policies, programs and proposed legislation. The Office is a focal point for USDA's economic intelligence and analysis; projections related to agricultural commodity markets; risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis related to domestic and international food and agriculture; policy direction for renewable energy development; coordination, analysis and advice on climate adaptation and environmental market activities; and coordination and review of all commodity and aggregate agricultural and food-related data used to develop outlook and situation material within the Department. The 2021 Budget requests $20.9 million for the office.

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 2021 Budget requests $15.5 million and reflects this realignment.

The Office of Budget and Program Analysis (OBPA) coordinates the preparation of Departmental budget estimates, regulations, and legislative reports; administers systems for the allotment and apportionment of funds; provides analysis of USDA program issues, draft regulations, and budget proposals; participates in strategic planning; and provides assistance to USDA policy makers in the development and execution of desired policies and programs. The 2021 Budget requests $20.7 million.

The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 required the establishment of a Chief Information Officer (CIO) for all major Federal agencies. The Act requires USDA to maximize the value of information technology acquisitions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of USDA programs. To meet the intent of the law and to provide a Departmental focus for information resources management issues, Secretary's Memorandum 1030–30, dated August 8, 1996, established the Office of the Chief Information Office (OCIO). The CIO serves as the primary advisor to the Secretary on Information Technology (IT) issues. OCIO provides leadership for the Department's information and IT management activities in support of USDA program delivery. The 2021 Budget requests $142.8 million.

The Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) was established in 1995 under authority provided in Reorganization Plan Number 2 of 1953 (7 U.S.C. 2201) to comply with the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990. The OCFO focuses on the Department's financial management activities to improve program delivery and assure maximum contribution to the Secretary's Strategic Goals. The 2021 Budget requests $11.1 million.

The Office of Civil Rights provides overall leadership for all Departmentwide civil rights activities, including employment opportunity and program non-discrimination policy development, analysis, coordination, and compliance. The Office provides leadership to implement best practices that will create an environment where a diverse workforce is valued as a source of strength. The Office monitors program activities to ensure that all USDA programs are delivered in a non-discriminatory manner. The 2021 Budget requests $20.6 million.

The Office of the General Counsel of the Department of Agriculture provides legal advice, counsel, and services to the Secretary and to all agencies, offices, and corporations of the Department on all aspects of their operations and programs. It represents the Department in administrative proceedings; non-litigation debt collection proceedings; State water rights adjudications; proceedings before the Civilian Board of Contract Appeal, the Merit System Protection Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the USDA Office of Administrative Law Judges, and other Federal agencies; and, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, in judicial proceedings and litigation in the Federal and State courts. All attorneys and support personnel devoted to those efforts are supervised by the General Counsel. The 2021 Budget requests $45.9 million.

The Office of Ethics provides ethics advice, counsel and training to all USDA officials and employees, and conducts annual financial disclosure reviews. The work of the Office of Ethics promotes employee compliance with the Federal conflict of interest laws and regulations. The 2021 Budget requests $4.2 million.

The Office of Information Affairs provides day to day oversight over the Department of Agriculture's Freedom of Information Act program, responding to the increasing number of complex records request for those Freedom of Information Act functions realigned to the Office of Information Affairs, creating Freedom of Information Act policy and training directives, and preparing all statutorily required reports. The 2021 Budget request $2.5 million.

The Office of Safety, Security and Protection (OSSP) is responsible for facility security, emergency management and response. OSSP provides Department-wide leadership, policy, and management in the safeguarding of property and personnel. OSSP is committed to identifying and addressing all security risks that may affect USDA personnel, infrastructure, and facilities. The 2021 Budget requests $25 million.

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 2021 Budget requests $3.5 million.

The Economic Research Service (ERS) will use its 2021 funding for core programs of research, analysis, market outlook, and data development. Proposals for ERS budget priorities include research that: (1) builds on unique or confidential data sources or investments at the Federal level (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 (5) addresses questions with short-run payoff or that have immediate policy implications. ERS also seeks to cover the breadth of USDA programs (except forestry) and requests funding to ensure sustained expertise and to support the department through analysis of farming, commodity markets and trade, conservation, productivity growth, rural communities, food safety, food markets, and nutrition. ERS strength in data linking, and in developing, modeling and monitoring outcome measures, including program performance and agricultural productivity growth, will contribute substantively to USDA's implementation of the Evidence Act as well as to USDA's top priority goals for Agricultural Innovation and Sustainable Agricultural Intensification.

The 2021 Budget request is $62.1 million, a decrease of $22.6 million from FY 2020. This funding level provides a framework to better streamline the Department's statistical functions and leverage administrative efficiencies. At the proposed funding level, core data expenditures, including the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) and private sector commodity data and intelligence, which are foundational to this activity, will be retained. ERS will continue to provide analysis and monthly newsletters to support participation in USDA's Inter-Agency Commodity Estimate Committees (ICEC) and provide modeling and data related to USDA's Agricultural Baseline Projections. ERS will refocus and narrow its international activities to ensure continued expertise and market analysis on major agricultural trading countries such as China, Brazil and India. ERS will produce high-quality, objective measures of farm business and farm household income and wealth, cost of production for major commodities, and report on adoption of primary farm practices. ERS will continue to produce the Loss-Adjusted Food Availability Data, annual statistics to measure U.S. food security, and monthly retail food price forecasts. Research on rural economic development and infrastructure will be continued.

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. 2204g(d)(f)).

The 2021 total request is $177 million for NASS, including $131 million for Agricultural Estimates to 1) produce the essential Federal Principal Economic Indicator reports; and 2) conduct other Core Intergrated Surveys and Estimates to support USDA programs. The 2021 NASS request includes $46 million for the Census of Agriculture. NASS will: 1) conduct the Census of Horticulture Specialties; and prepare for the 2022 Census of Agriculture; 2) focus on outreach and research activities to improve response rates; and 3) conduct the Local Food Marketing Practices Survey.

Agricultural Estimates.—Staff in 12 Regional offices and 33 State offices serving all 50 States conduct the work to produce the Agricultural Estimates statistical reports. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies provide additional State and county data.

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 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. 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: New Products/Product Quality/Value Added; Livestock/Crop Production; Livestock/Crop Protection; Food Safety; Human Nutrition; and Environmental Stewardship.

The 2021 Salaries and Expenses Budget for ARS requests $1.368 billion, which supports ongoing intramural research conducted by ARS. The Budget also requests $81 million within this account for costs to operate and maintain the new National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), which replaces the outdated and inadequate Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC). NBAF, which is scheduled to attain full operational capability by December 2022, will be a state-of-the-art biocontainment facility for the study of foreign, emerging, and zoonotic animal diseases that pose a threat to both U.S. animal agriculture and public health.

Specific increases for research proposed in FY 2021 include: $8 million for NBAF science programs; $35 million for new initiatives relating to precision agriculture, long-term agroecosystems research, artificial intelligence, and managing excess water/controlling erosion; and $17.7 million for pay costs, performance awards, and the Federal Employees Retirement System. Offsetting the increases are $122.1 million in decreases for the (a) elimination of ongoing extramural research projects and selected intramural research projects ($74 million); (b) redirection of lower priority research projects to fund higher priority research initiatives ($35 million); and (c) one-time program transition costs associated with the transfer of operations from PIADC to NBAF which are no longer needed ($13.1 million).

The Buildings and Facilities 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).

The Agency 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. Its laboratories and facilities have a capitalization value of nearly $4 billion. Many of these laboratories/facilities have outlived their functional lifespan, and are badly in need of major repairs, renovation or replacement. In 2012, ARS completed an extensive review of its laboratory portfolio and developed a plan for future capital investments. The report, known as the "Capital Investment Strategy" (CIS), highlighted ARS' aging infrastructure. The FY 2021 Budget includes $50 million for the design/construction of selected high priority ARS laboratories.

The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) participates in a nationwide system of agricultural research, education, and extension 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, extension and higher education. The Cooperative Extension System, a national educational network, is a dynamic organization pledged to meeting the country's needs for research-based educational programs that will enable people to make practical decisions to improve their lives. To accomplish its mission, the Cooperative Extension System adjusts programs to meet the shifting needs and priorities of the people it serves. The non-formal educational network combines the expertise and resources of Federal, State, and local partners. The partners in this unique System are: a) The National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; b) Extension professionals at land-grant universities throughout the United States 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 three million volunteers support this partnership and magnify its impact. Strong linkages with both public and private external groups are also crucial to the Cooperative Extension System's strength and vitality.

NIFA funds activities under the Hatch Act, cooperative forestry research, payments to 1890 institutions for research and extension, Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Competitive Grants, Competitive Grants at Land Grant Universities (1862, 1890, and 1994) and other institutions, the Cooperative Extension System, Smith-Lever 3(b) and 3(c) formula funds and 3(d) program funds, and other extension programs. Integrated research, education and/or extension grants are awarded for competitive and non-competitive programs. In 2021, NIFA will invest $100 million across all AFRI programs, including interagency investments in Artificial Intelligence institutes, to support emerging technologies such as machine learning as applied to agriculture and to enhance application of advanced technology in agricultural systems across all scales of production.

Native American Institutions Endowment Fund. The 2021 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 $5.1 million in interest earned in 2020 will be available to the program in 2021.

Reimbursable program. Funds support basic and applied agriculture research and 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 Agency has a broad mission area that includes protecting the health and value of American agricultural and natural resources that are vulnerable to pests and diseases as well as natural disasters, developing and advancing science-based standards with trading partners to ensure Americas agricultural exports are protected from unjustified restrictions, regulating genetically engineered organisms, administering the Animal Welfare Act and carrying out wildlife damage management activities. 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, protects 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 and sampling 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 to reduce 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 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 protection 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 inspecting certain establishments that handle animals intended for research, exhibition, and sale as pets, and monitoring of certain horse shows.

APHIS' 2021 budget request is $1.033 billion. The budget continues 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 2021 and continuing until NBAF is online and fully operational in December 2022. In addition, the budget includes requests for additional resources to enhance the agency's national animal disease traceability efforts, address critical staffing needs of the Center for Veterinary Biologics, and to establish a Unified Biotechnology Web-based Platform to support developers of biotechnology products. The budget request also proposes to reduce or eliminate Federal contributions toward certain animal and plant health 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.

In FY 2021, USDA will administratively implement fees to cover the Government's full cost for providing certain services to certain beneficiaries. The Administration will promulgate regulations for the following new or expanded fees for services provided by the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service related to: licenses for animal dealers, veterinary biologics product approval, and regulatory review of genetically engineered organisms.

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 accurately 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 2021 Budget proposes $1.092 billion for inspection of meat, poultry and egg products. With these funds, FSIS will fully support all Federal, in-plant and other frontline personnel; the Federal share of State inspection programs; and continue to improve its data infrastructure and modernize its scientific approach to food safety. In addition, the budget proposes a user fee, which will be charged to plants to support inspection programs for meat, poultry, and egg products.

The 2021 Budget requests about $148 million for the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Marketing Services account. The following Marketing Services activities 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.

Grain Regulatory Program.—This program promotes and enforces the accurate and uniform application of the U.S. Grain Standards Act; identifies, evaluates, and implements new or improved techniques for measuring grain quality; and establishes and updates testing and grading standards to facilitate the marketing of U.S. grain, oilseeds, and related products. In 2021, USDA will administratively implement fees to cover the Government's full cost for providing services to beneficiaries of this program.

Hemp Production Program.—This program provides a national regulatory framework for commercial production of industrial hemp production in the U.S. through regulations and guidance. In addition to those regulated under USDA plans, USDA approves state and Tribal nation plans to provide licensing services, technical assistance, compliance, and program management support. In 2021, USDA will administratively implement fees to cover the Government's full cost for providing services to beneficiaries of this program.

National Bioengineered Food Disclosure Standard.—Public Law 114–216 charges AMS with developing a national mandatory system for disclosing the presence of bioengineered material. This 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. The program inspections of egg handlers quarterly and hatcheries annually to ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit for human consumption.

Market Protection and Promotion.—This program consists of: 1) the industry-funded research and promotion programs which are designed to improve the competitive position and expand markets for a variety of agricultural commodities; 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.

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. In 2021, USDA will administratively implement fees to cover the Government's full cost for providing services to beneficiaries of this program.

The U.S. Warehouse Act Program.—USDA supports the efficient use of commercial facilities in the storage of Commodity Credit Corporation-owned commodities, and administers the U.S. Warehouse Act (USWA) and certain provisions of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Charter Act. Its mission is to oversee the formulation of national policies and procedures to administer a nationwide warehousing system, establish posted county prices for major farm program commodities, and manage CCC commodity inventories and cotton economic assistance programs.

AMS provides a uniform system for the inspection and weighing of grain and related products 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 44 official private and state agencies: 33 official private agencies and six official state agencies that are designated to provide official inspection and/or weighing services in domestic and export (internationally containers and land based carriers to Canada and Mexico) 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 user fees, AMS conducts a railroad track scale testing program. In addition, AMS provides grading services, on request, for rice, graded commodities, and processed products under the authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.

License fees are deposited in this special fund and are used to meet the costs of administering the Perishable Agricultural Commodities and the Produce Agency Acts (7 U.S.C. 491–497, 499a-499s).

The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) establishes a code of fair trading practices covering the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables in interstate and foreign commerce. The PACA protects growers, shippers, distributors, retailers, and others who deal in those commodities by prohibiting unfair and fraudulent practices. In general, individuals and companies operating in the produce industry who meet certain requirements must be licensed under the PACA. PACA investigates complaints of violations of the Act through: a) informal agreements between the two publication of the facts; 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 that purchasers maintain trust assets on hand to meet their obligations to fruit and vegetable suppliers. The trust automatically goes into effect when the buyer receives the goods but produce sellers must notify their customers in writing of their intent to preserve their trust rights. The Act provides permanent authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license and reparation complaint filing fees.

Funds for Strengthening Markets, Income, and Supply (Section 32) Program.—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 three-fold: to encourage the exportation of agricultural commodities and products, to encourage domestic consumption of agricultural products by diverting them, and to reestablish farmers' purchasing power by making payments in connection with the normal production of any agricultural commodity for domestic consumption. There is also a requirement that the funds available under Section 32 shall be principally devoted to perishable agricultural commodities (e.g., fruits and vegetables). Program funds are used for a variety of purposes in support of the three primary purposes specified in the program's authorizing legislation. Funds may be used to stabilize market conditions through purchasing surplus commodities which are in turn, distributed to nutrition assistance 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.

Marketing Agreements & Orders Program (MA&O).—In 2021, USDA will administratively implement fees to cover the Government's full cost for providing services to beneficiaries of this program. MA&O programs are industry-run "self-help" initiatives for dairy and specialty crops and the industries that substantially benefit from their operation should pay for the oversight of these programs.

Reform Funds for Strengthening Markets, Income, and Supply (Section 32) Program.—The complex process of using U.S. Customs receipts for surplus commodity purchases and to partially fund the school lunch program has evolved over many decades and is not consistent with contemporary Federal budgeting practices. Large balances have built up due to the fluctuation in receipts, and Congress has capped spending in the farm bill. To increase transparency and simplify program operations, the Budget proposes to permanently delink U.S. Customs receipts from the Section 32 program and directly appropriate funding to the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), and the Department of Commerce. These funds will be provided to each agency without further appropriation and available for the same purposes as previous receipt-funded activities. Within USDA, AMS will be provided $340 million for surplus agricultural commodity purchases and administrative costs (a historical average spending level for these activities that will be adjusted annually for inflation). Additionally, FNS will receive an initial permanent mandatory appropriation of approximately $21.7 billion in FY 2021 (equal to the amount that would have otherwise been made available by transfer from AMS and including the cost associated with commodity purchase activities traditionally carried out under Section 32). This initial appropriation will be adjusted annually based upon the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) and the requested annual appropriations language will continue to subsume those amounts within the total provided in annual appropriations acts. Finally, the Department of Commerce will be provided an initial amount of $184 million for fisheries activities in 2021, equal to the level of funding that would otherwise have been provided by Section 32, and inflated annually in future years. The Administration will formalize these changes through a legislative proposal to be transmitted at a later date.

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 Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, to issue Federal Milk Marketing Orders (FMMO) establishing minimum prices which handlers are required to pay for milk purchased from producers. Section 1403 of the 2018 Farm Bill requires AMS to implement changes to these milk price formulas through the FMMOs. There are currently 11 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 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. The 2021 Budget requests $59 million in discretionary funds. RMA also plans to transfer $7 million from mandatory FCIC funding for reviews, compliance and integrity under section 516(b)(2)(C) to the S&E account in 2021. By transferring these additional mandatory funds into the S&E account, RMA will be able to use these funds more efficiently and flexibly to maintain operations.

The funding level for the direct appropriation for RMA S&E reflects the shifting of activities to the 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. RMA is provided approximately $11 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 funding is further enhanced by the availability of $20 million in mandatory funding from the fees collected from the sale of insurance policies, which can be for 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 2019 Crop Year, there were 1.1 million policies written with $10.1. billion in premiums. Federal crop insurance policies are sold and serviced by 14 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 $1.5 billion annually for A&O. For the 2021 Budget, the payments to the companies are projected to be $2.7 billion in combined A&O subsidy and underwriting gains. The 2021 Budget requests $8.7 billion in direct mandatory funding. Funding estimates for 2020 and 2021 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 $655 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.

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 2021 Budget includes a set of five proposals that demonstrate reforms to reduce the Federal deficit and spending, which are estimated $25 billion over 10 years.

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, the rate of return for crop insurance should be around 12 percent, but that it is currently expected to be 14 percent. This 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 rate of return given the risk associated with their participation in the crop insurance program. This proposal will save $3 billion over the next 10 years.

Reduce Premium Subsidies for Crop Insurance.—The 2021 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, and policies without harvest price coverage will be reduced by 10 percentage points. The proposal will 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. This proposal will save $21 billion over the next 10 years.

Target Crop Insurance Subsidies.—The 2021 Budget proposes to target crop insurance subsidies to those producers that have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $500,000 or less. 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. This proposal will save $652 million over the next 10 years.

Eliminate reimbursements and automatic implementation for 508(h) crop insurance product development.—The 508(h) authority was enacted due to perceived delays in new product development for a variety of crops. Currently, there are fewer products for large crops that are pending development, and the Farm Bill typically mandates RMA to development new insurance products for specific commodities if the need arises, or to prioritize research and development for certain commodities. RMA maintains the ability to develop new products internally, and the 2014 Farm Bill Act authorized buy-up coverage for the Non-Insured Assistance Program (NAP) for crops that are not covered by crop insurance, thereby lessening the need for products submitted by private submitters to fill a void in the marketplace. Specifically, the Budget proposes to eliminate reimbursements to the private sector for the development of new crop insurance products. It also proposes to change the approval process for new products under 508(h) to be at the discretion of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board, and not mandatory. The proposal would change, as appropriate, the language from shall to may to allow for the governments discretion in adding cost to the baseline for new products. This proposal would result in savings of $120 million over ten years.

Address Disaster/Crop Insurance Duplication.—Repeal 2015 appropriations General Provision (GP)745: The Budget proposes to address the issue of duplicative disaster and crop insurance payments in two ways. First, this proposal assumes that the appropriations language will include a GP removing the authority to claim the same loss under FSA's permanent disaster programs, crop insurance and the Non-Insured Assistance Program (NAP). The proposal will undo the 2015 appropriations GP that defines that payments under the CCC disaster programs for the Tree Assistance Program (TAP), forage and livestock as duplicative with crop insurance or the non-insured assistance program (NAP). This proposal would result in $40 million in discretionary savings in the budget year, of which $20 million is reflected as a discretionary change to a mandatory account (CHIMP) in the Federal Crop Insurance Fund and the other $20 million is a CHIMP in the Commodity Credit Corporations (CCCs) permanent disaster assistance program. The outyear savings will be $360 million over ten years, of which $180 million will be realized in the crop insurance program and the other $180 million will be realized in the CCCs permanent disaster assistance program.

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; 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.

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 2021 Budget requests a total of $1.48 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 cost-sharing 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, and others, including certain administrative support services for county office services provided to Federal and non-Federal entities, including a variety of services to producers.

This grant program is authorized by Title V of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, P.L. 100–233, as amended. Originally designed to address agricultural credit disputes, the program was expanded by the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (P.L. 103–354) to include other agricultural issues such as wetland determinations, conservation compliance, rural water loan programs, grazing on National Forest System lands, and pesticide use. Grants are made to States whose agricultural mediation programs have been certified by the Farm Service Agency. A grant will not exceed 79 percent of the total fiscal year funds that a qualifying State requires to operate and administer its agricultural mediation program. In no case will the total amount of a grant exceed $500,000 annually. Current authority for the program under P.L. 115–334 expires September 30, 2023 as the program was extended by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. The 2021 Budget requests $6.9 million for the program.

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 permanently 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 2019 began on July 15, 2019, and ended on September 6, 2019. Payments for FY 2019 signup will be disbursed in FY 2020. No funding is requested in the 2021 Budget for this program.

Reforestation Pilot Program

The Reforestation Pilot Program's purpose is to demonstrate the use of new technologies that increase the rate of growth of re-forested hardwood trees on private non-industrial forest lands, enrolling lands on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The 2021 Budget proposes no funding 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 2019, 39 States and 1 territory participated in ECP, with new or continued activity from the previous year, involving approximately 74.6 million in cost-share and technical assistance funds outlays. The Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019 provided $558 million for necessary expenses related to the consequences of Hurricanes Michael and Florence and of wildfires occurring in calendar year 2018, tornadoes and floods occurring in calendar year 2019, and other natural disasters declared pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.

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 Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, the 2018 Farm Bill, continues the authority for this program through fiscal year 2023. The 2021 Budget proposes no funding for this program.

The Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund program account's loans are authorized by Title III of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended.

This program account includes subsidies to provide direct and guaranteed loans for farm ownership, farm operating, 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 2018 Farm Bill authorized a new loan type, the heirs relending program, to resolve ownership and succession on farm land that has multiple owners. The 2021 Budget requests $65.3 million for loan subsidies. The 2021 Budget requests a program level of $8.907 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 2021 Budget requests $307.3 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 2019, $4.136 million was paid to producers who filed claims under the program. The 2021 Budget requests such sums as may be necessary, which are estimated to be $500,000 for this program in 2021.

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 Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill), Public Law 115–334, was signed by the President on December 20, 2018. The 2018 Farm Bill repealed certain programs, continued some programs with modifications, and authorized several new programs. In addition, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 (BBA), Public Law 115–123, provides assistance to producers impacted by specific hurricanes in 2017, and made changes to the CCC commodity and disaster programs.

BUDGET ASSUMPTIONS

The estimates for CCC spending in 2019 and 2020 reflect expenditures related to the trade damage mitigation programs and other CCC activities not described in this narrative, as well as commodity and conservation programs authorized under the 2018 Farm Bill. The budget estimates for 2021 decrease significantly from 2020 levels, because of lower trade mitigation program expenditures that are slightly offset by additional expenditures reflecting new 2018 Farm Bill provisions. 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 of 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 FOR COMMODITY CROPS

Price support, marketing assistance loans, and related stabilization programs.—As authorized in the 2018 Farm Bill, 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, pulse crops, 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, purchases are made under various laws; for example, the Act of August 19, 1958, as amended, and section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended.

Commodity Payment Programs.—Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) payments are available for a wide variety of commodity crops. The BBA added seed cotton as a covered commodity eligible for ARC and PLC. The BBA also removed generic base acres beginning with the 2018 crop year, and allowed producers to reallocate generic base acres to seed cotton, or other covered commodities eligible for ARC/PLC payments.

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 effective reference price and the effective price times the program payment yield for the covered commodity. The 2018 Farm Bill authorized a nationwide PLC yield update for the 2020 crop year.

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.

Election Required.—All of the producers on a farm must make an election of: 1) PLC/County ARC on a covered-commodity-by-covered-commodity basis; or 2) Individual ARC for all covered commodities on the farm. If the producers on the farm elect PLC/County ARC, 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 2018 Farm Bill authorized an annual election opportunity beginning in crop year 2021, with an initial election opportunity in 2019 for both the 2019 and 2020 crop years. Also, authorization for ARC and PLC was extended through the 2023 crop year.

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 and Agriculture Risk Coverage (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. For the Supplemental Disaster Programs, a payment limit of $125,000 applies to payments under the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP). The 2018 Farm Bill eliminated the payment limit for Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP), and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 eliminated the payment limits for Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) and the Tree Assistance Program (TAP).

Marketing Assistance Loans (MALs) and Sugar Loans.—The 2018 Farm Bill extends the authority for sugar loans for the 2019 through 2023 crop years and nonrecourse marketing assistance loans (MALs) and loan deficiency payment (LDPs) for the 2019–2023 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. 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

Dairy Margin Coverage.—The 2018 Farm Bill authorized the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program, which is a voluntary risk management program for dairy producers. The program provides payments to dairy producers when the difference between the all milk price and the average feed price (the margin) falls below a margin selected by the producer. Catastrophic coverage is available at no cost to the producers, other than an annual $100 administrative fee; and various levels of buy-up coverage that farmers may choose by paying premiums covering the dairy operation's production history, ranging from 5 percent to 95 percent of production.

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.

PROGRAMS FOR BIOENEGY AND NON-COMMODITY CROPS

Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP).—NAP provides coverage, 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 of production, 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.

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. The 2018 Farm Bill did provide an authorization to spend up to $25 million annually through FY 2023 but changed the funding source from CCC mandatory funds to discretionary funds subject to annual appropriation.

Feedstock Flexibility Program (FFP).—FFP is continued through fiscal year 2023. 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 permanently re-authorized under CCC in the 2014 Farm Bill and modified in the 2018 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 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. The BBA removed the payment limit for LIP and added provisions to provide benefits for the sale of animals at a reduced price if the sale occurred due to injury that was a direct result of an eligible adverse weather event or due to an attack by an animal reintroduced into the wild.

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. The BBA removed the annual funding limitation of $20 million per program year and clarified which losses are eligible for assistance. The 2018 Farm Bill eliminated the payment limit for ELAP.

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. The BBA removed the payment limitation for TAP and increased the number of acres for which a producer can receive payment from 500 to 1,000 acres per year. In addition, the BBA expanded coverage under TAP by providing $15 million for 2017 pecan tree losses for growers who suffered a pecan mortality loss that exceeds 7.5 percent (rather than a mortality loss that exceeds 15 percent) due to an eligible natural disaster.

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 2018 Farm Bill continues the authority for the MAP program with annual funding of $200 million for 2018–2023.

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.—Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops and Emerging Markets were both extended through 2023 in the 2018 Farm Bill.

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 2018 Farm Bill extends the authorization to replenish the BEHT through 2023.

CONSERVATION PROGRAMS

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP).—The 2018 Farm Bill extended and modified the authorization of CRP through FY 2023. It limits the practice incentive payments to the actual cost of practice implementation and lowers the CRP soil rental payments to 85 percent of the rental rate for general program enrollment and 90 percent for continuous program enrollment. The acreage cap is increased from 24 million acres to 27 million acres by FY 2023. The 2018 Farm Bill also authorized up to $12 million in incentive payments for tree thinning and related activities.

Transition Incentive Program (TIP).—The 2018 Farm Bill extended TIP through FY 2023. It authorized up to $50 million to encourage the transition of expiring CRP land to a beginning, socially disadvantaged, or veteran farmer or rancher so land can be returned to sustainable grazing or crop production.

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; other agencies of the Department engaged in the Corporation's activities; and the Office of Inspector General for audit functions. The table below summarizes some of the administrative expenses funded through the Corporation. These funds are in addition to discretionary appropriations for these agencies.

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 2020 and 2021.

The Corporation receives reimbursement for grain requisitioned pursuant to Public Law 87–152 by the States from Corporation stocks to feed resident wildlife threatened with starvation through the appropriation reimbursement for net realized losses. There have been no requisitions in recent years, however. The Corporation receives reimbursement for the commodity costs and other costs, including administrative costs, for commodities supplied to domestic nutrition programs and international food aid programs.

FINANCING

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. 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.

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

The 2021 President's Budget targets commodity assistance, crop insurance subsidies, and conservation program assistance to producers that have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $500,000 or less. Accordingly, such financial assistance will be targeted to producers that may lack the financial resources to recover from natural disasters and/or drops in revenue. Additionally, it closes payment limit loopholes by: including marketing loan gains in the $125,000 payment limit; eliminating commodity certificates; eliminating the separate payment limit for peanut producers; and limiting eligibility for commodity subsidies to one manager per farm. It eliminates programs that are duplicative or are not fundamentally governmental in nature such as the Economic Adjustment Assistance for Textile Mills, Food for Progress and the Livestock Forage Disaster Program. Also, the Budget changes the focus of the Conservation Reserve Program to preserve sensitive agricultural corridors, rather than temporarily removing large tracts of land from production, to reform the program's use of distortionary signing and incentive payments, and limit annual rental rates to 80 percent of the National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) county rental rates. Lastly, it would eliminate the ability for producers to collect assistance from both the mandatory disaster programs and Federally subsidized crop insurance for the same loss.

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 2020 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 2021 Budget includes $6.4 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 re-established 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 Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the 2018 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 through the 2018 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 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 2019, the outlays are due to residual payments, corrections and/or appeals to obligations incurred during prior crop years. Obligations in 2020 may be still be required to make residual payments for disaster programs under the Disaster Trust authority.

The Pima Agriculture Cotton Trust Fund was authorized under Section 12314 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, to reduce the economic injury to domestic manufacturers resulting from tariffs on cotton fabric that are higher than tariffs on certain apparel articles made of cotton fabric. Mandatory funding as established in the Farm Bill is $16 million annually, to be transferred from funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation. Through the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, the 2018 Farm Bill, this program is extended through calendar year 2023.

The Agriculture Wool Apparel Manufacturers Trust Fund was authorized under Section 12315 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, the 2014 Farm Bill, to reduce the economic injury to domestic manufacturers resulting from tariffs on wool fabric that are higher than tariffs on certain apparel articles made of wool fabric. Mandatory funding as established in the Farm Bill is the lesser of the amount the Secretary determines to be necessary to make payments in that year or $30 million each year, to be transferred from funds of the Commodity Credit Corporation. Per the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, the 2018 Farm Bill, this program is extended through calendar year 2023.

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. These plans are often used as a spring board toward receiving financial assistance through mandatory Farm Bill conservation programs. 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 9,000 employees with a wide range of natural resource backgrounds, including soil and rangeland conservation, plant science, wildlife biology, forestry and engineering. Through this collective conservationist workforce, the Administration strives to protect the natural resource base on private lands. The 2021 Budget requests a total of $830 million for Private Lands Conservation Operations. In addition, to provide a more accurate picture of the total staff resources necessary to implement voluntary conservation, the Budget displays mandatory technical assistance of $1.19 billion in this account.

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 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 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 annual water supplies for decisions relating to agricultural production, fish and wildlife management, municipal and industrial water supply, urban development, flood control, recreation, hydroelectric 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'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 that have been instrumental at increasing the commercial availability of appropriate plant materials to the public. PMC activities 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 results of studies conducted by PMCs provide much of the basis for NRCS vegetative recommendations and conservation practices. The work ensures that NRCS conservation practices are scientifically-based, improves the knowledge of NRCS field staff through PMC-led training sessions and demonstrations, and develops recommendations to meet new and emerging natural resource issues. PMCs carry out their work cooperatively with State and Federal agencies, universities, Tribes, commercial businesses, and seed and nursery associations. PMC activities directly benefit private landowners as well as Federal and State land managing agencies.

The Farm Production and Conservation (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 will streamline the FPAC mission area. The estimate is based on 39 current staffing, and will consolidate the NRCS Geospatial Center of Excellence with the Existing FPAC Business Center Geospatial capabilities.

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 implement conservation measures necessary to safeguard natural resources and improve wildlife habitat and provide funding to acquire easements either directly, or through third parties.

The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 amended Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985, reauthorizing some programs, and creating one new conservation program that is administered by NRCS. A number of conservation programs were extended in the 2021 Budget's baseline beyond 2023 based upon scorekeeping conventions.

In 2021, 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 Subchapter A of Chapter 4 of Subtitle D of Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 reauthorizes the program through 2023, and the 2021 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. In 2021, the Budget proposes $1.8 billion for this program.

Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP).—This program is authorized by Subchapter B of Chapter 4 of Subtitle D of title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 reauthorized the program through 2023, and the 2021 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 2021 Budget proposes $750 million for this program for new contracts, existing contracts, and reenrollments. The Budget also includes a proposal to eliminate the program.

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 Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 reauthorized the program, and the 2021 Budget assumes $95 million in technical assistance for NRCS support of CRP.

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 reauthorized through 2023 by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 under Subtitle H of Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985. The 2021 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond 2023 in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. For 2021, the Budget includes the authorized level of funding for ACEP at $450 million. The budget also includes a proposal to reduce the program by $40 million per year.

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 reauthorized through 2023 by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 under Subtitle I of Title XII of 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, flood control, or other regional priorities. The 2021 Budget assumes that the program extends beyond 2023 in the baseline for scorekeeping purposes. The authorized level of funding for RCPP is $300 million.

Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP).—The program is authorized by Section 1240R of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended by Section 2406 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. VPA-HIP provides $50 million for obligations between 2019 through 2023 (this program was not extended in the baseline). VPA-HIP 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.

Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program.—The program is authorized by Sections 2408 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. The program provides $75 million for obligations between 2019 and 2023 (this program was not extended in the baseline), of which NRCS is to receive 50 percent. The program will be implemented by NRCS and the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service. The program will be used to respond to the threat feral swine pose to agriculture, native ecosystems, and human and animal health.

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. 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 2021 Budget proposes $5 million for the 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 2021, 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 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 Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program and included the purposes of those programs in the ACEP 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 RCPP referred to above. The Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program was also repealed, and its purposes are now included in EQIP.

The Farm Production and Conservation (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 NRCS, the Farm Service Agency (FSA), 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 in support of the Business Center.

NRCS watershed programs provide for cooperative actions between the Federal Government and States and their political subdivisions to reduce damage from floodwater, sediment, and erosion; for the conservation, development, utilization, and disposal of water; and for the conservation and proper utilization of land. Funds in Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations can be used for either flood prevention projects or flood damage reduction efforts, depending upon the needs and opportunities.

Emergency watershed protection program.—NRCS undertakes such emergency measures for runoff retardation and soil erosion prevention as may be needed to safeguard life and property from floods and the products of erosion on any watershed whenever natural elements or forces cause a sudden impairment of that watershed. Funding for the Emergency Watershed Protection Program is typically provided through emergency supplemental appropriations. The 2021 Budget does not request funding for this program.

Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 78–534.—NRCS cooperates with soil conservation districts and other local organizations in planning and installing flood prevention improvements in 11 watersheds authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944. The Federal Government shares the cost of improvements for flood prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife development. The 2021 budget does not request funding for this program. NRCS is closing out watershed operations projects with unobligated balances from prior years.

Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 83–566.—NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to local organizations to install measures for watershed protection, flood prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. NRCS is using unobligated balances from prior years to support watershed operations projects. The 2021 budget does not request funding for this program.

Watershed Protection and Flood Program.—Authorized by Section 2401 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, Public Law 115–334. NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to local organizations to install measures for watershed protection, and flood prevention. The Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 authorizes $50 million per year for fiscal year 2019 to 2023.

Loans through the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund have been made in previous years to the local sponsors in order to fund the local cost of Public Law 83–566 or 78–534 projects. No funding for these loans is assumed in 2021.

Resource Conservation and Development

Healthy Forests Reserve Program

The Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP), which is authorized by Title V of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (Public Law 108–148), helps landowners restore, enhance, and protect forest resources on private lands through easements and financial assistance. HFRP focuses on forest ecosystems to: 1) promote the recovery of threatened and endangered species; 2) improve biodiversity; and 3) enhance carbon sequestration.

Administered by NRCS, HFRP is a voluntary program with enrollment limited to land that is privately-held or owned by a Tribe. Land enrolled in HFRP must have a restoration plan that includes practices necessary to restore and enhance habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered, or are candidates for the threatened or endangered species list. Technical assistance is provided by USDA to assist owners in complying with the terms of restoration plans under HFRP.

The 2021 Budget does not request funding for HFRP.

The Rural Development Salaries and Expenses (S&E) account is a consolidated account to administer all Rural Development programs, including programs administered by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the Rural Housing Service (RHS), and the Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS). The 2021 Budget includes set asides for specific IT investments: retiring the Program Loan Accounting System and the Automated Multifamily Accountings System, and system upgrades to implement direct endorsement by lenders of the single family loan guarantee program, for which USDA has had authority since 2016. These IT investments are critical to moving RD into the 21st Century for loan program accounting and customer service. Setting aside the funding for these purposes is being done to ensure that progress is made on these specific systems, which have been delayed in recent years. In addition, the account reflects $3 million in mandatory funding for the Biobased Markets Program. For more information about the Rural Development mission area go to www.rd.usda.gov.

The 2021 Budget requests $30 million for this account.

For other housing assistance grants authorized for funding in this account such as housing preservation grants and supervisory and technical assistance grants as authorized by section 509(f) and 525 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, the 2021 Budget requests $15 million for the housing preservation grants. The 2021 Budget does not request funding for supervisory and technical assistance grants.

The rental assistance program is authorized under section 521(a)(2) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and is designed to reduce rent expenses for very low-income and low-income families living in RHS-financed rural rental and farm labor housing projects. The rural housing voucher program is authorized under section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949 and may be used to assist families displaced when the mortgage on the RHS-financed rural rental housing projects is prepaid or paid in full. A voucher can be used in lieu of rental assistance, which is no longer available once the property is paid-off in full. The 2021 request, combines the appropriations for rental assistance and vouchers to facilitate funding flexibilities with like programs. A total of $1.45 billion is being requested, of which $1.41 billion is limited to renewals of existing rental assistance contracts for maintaining a sustainable rental assistance program. The Budget also requests that residents receiving rental assistance payments will be required to pay a minimum rent of $50 per month, unless the Department determines a lower amount because the tenant qualifies for a hardship exemption. Of the total amount provided, the Budget requests $40 million for housing vouchers, which can be for prepayments and pay-offs. The vouchers related to prepayments will be awarded based on prioritization of need as determined by the Secretary. In addition, all balances related to the rural housing voucher program will be transferred and merged into this account from the Multifamily Housing Revitalization Account.

From 1978 through 1991, the rental assistance program was funded under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund (RHIF). Beginning in 1992, pursuant to Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established for this program. Prior year obligations are funded with "such sums" amounts to cover those pre-credit reform contracts in RHIF.

This account includes funding for vouchers as authorized in section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949 to be used to assist families displaced when the mortgage on the RHS-financed rural rental housing projects is prepaid or paid in full. A voucher can be used in lieu of rental assistance, which is no longer available once the property is paid-off. This account also reflects the funding for pilot programs to repair and rehabilitate multi-family housing projects financed under USDA's section 514 and 515 direct loan programs. These have included grants and direct loans (zero percent, soft-second, modifications, and the relending demonstration program) since 2006. The 2021 Budget requests $40 million in funding for the rural housing voucher program in the Rental Assistance Program Account to facilitate funding flexibilities with like programs. All balances in this account associated with vouchers will be transferred and merged with the Rental Assistance Program Account as well. The 2021 Budget requests $40 million in funding for the multi-family housing revitalization pilot program in the Rural Housing Insurance Fund account. Consistent with facilitating funding flexibilities and to be able to modify post credit reform section 515 multi-family housing loans in the future, all the balances associated with the multi-family housing demonstration programs in this account will be transferred and merged with the Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account.

This account funds the direct and guaranteed community facility loans and community facility grants, which are authorized under sections 306(a)(1) and 306(a)(19) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Loans are provided to local governments and nonprofit organizations for the construction and improvement of community facilities providing essential services in rural areas of not more than 20,000 in population for direct loans, and not more than 50,000 for loan guarantees. Total program level in the 2021 Budget is projected to be $2.5 billion for direct loans, $500 million for guaranteed loans, and $60 million for grant purposes, of which $30 million is for regular community facilities grants, and $10 million for Tribal College Grants. The 2021 Budget proposes no funding for place-based community projects and Rural Community Development Initiative. The Budget proposes a set aside of $20 million to be available for direct and guaranteed loan subsidy costs when the risk analysis indicates that a particular loan, as structured, falls outside the parameters of the regular portfolio subsidy rate. This funding can be used for regular community facilities grants, if is determined that it not needed for subsidy costs.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property). The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

Rural Housing Insurance Fund.—This fund was established in 1965 (Public Law 89–117) pursuant to section 517 of title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include towns, villages, and other places which are not part of an urban area. These areas have a population not in excess of 2,500 inhabitants, or in excess of 2,500, but not in excess of 10,000 if rural in character, or a population in excess of 10,000 but not more than 20,000. Areas are within a standard metropolitan statistical area and have a serious lack of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers.

For 2021, the Section 502 single family housing guarantees are requested at a $24 billion loan level. The subsidy rate for 2021 continues to be negative with the combination annual and up-front fee structure.

The Budget requests a loan level of $10 million for credit sales of acquired property for single family housing loans. No funding is requested for Section 502 single family housing direct loans, Section 515 multi-family housing direct loans, Section 504 very low-income housing repair loans, Section 524 site development loans, Section 523 self-help housing land development loans, nor credit sales of acquired property for multi-family housing. However, the budget includes $40 million for the multi-family housing preservation and revitalization pilot program that will be administered in the this account. This program was moved to this account from the Multi-family Housing Revitalization Program account.

The 2021 Budget also requests a $230 million loan level for the multi-family housing guaranteed loan program and continues to include appropriations language that will allow the program to operate without interest subsidy and with a fee.

No funding is requested in the 2021 Budget for the farm labor housing loans and grants. For administrative costs, the 2021 Budget requests $240 million.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis. Consistent with facilitating funding flexibilities and to be able to modify post credit reform section 515 multifamily housing loans in the future, all the balances associated with the multifamily housing demonstration programs in this account will be transferred and merged with the Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account.

Grants for rural cooperative development were authorized under section 310B(e) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act by Public Law 104–127, April 4, 1996. These grants are made available to nonprofit corporations and institutions of higher education to fund the establishment and operation of centers for rural cooperative development. The Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas (ATTRA) program was first authorized by the Food Security Act of 1985. The program provides information and technical assistance to agricultural producers to adopt sustainable agricultural practices that are environmentally friendly and lower production costs. These grants provide assistance to small minority producers through cooperatives and associations of cooperatives.

Additionally, USDA provides Value-Added Marketing Grants for producers of agricultural commodities. These grants can be used for planning activities and for working capital for marketing value-added agricultural products. The 2021 Budget requests $3 million for the grants to assist minority producers program. The 2021 Budget does not request funding for any of the other programs.

Funding for this program is provided from the interest differential on Rural Utilities Service borrowers' "cushion of credit" accounts through fiscal year 2021. In the 2018 Farm Bill, Congress made available $5 million for each fiscal year 2022 and 2023 for the cost of grants and loans. The 2021 Budget eliminates all funding for this program because it has not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such as economic growth and decreasing out-migration.

This account funds direct and guaranteed business and industry loans, and rural business development grants. Business and industry guaranteed loans are authorized under section 310B(a)(1) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development, as amended. These loans are made to public, private or cooperative organizations, Indian tribes or tribal groups, corporate entities, or individuals for the purpose of improving the economic climate in rural areas. The 2021 Budget projections for loan guarantees are $1.5 billion. The budget request separates the subsidy rate of the Business and Industry Guaranteed Loan program into two cohorts with separate loan costs for each cohort, which will enable the program to support a market-driven program at a zero percent subsidy rate as a base or standard program. The 2021 Budget eliminates the grant programs because they have not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such as economic growth and decreasing out-migration.

This account finances loans to intermediary borrowers, who, in turn, re-lend the funds to small rural businesses, community development corporations, and other organizations for the purpose of improving economic opportunities in rural areas. Through the use of local intermediaries, this program serves small-scale enterprises and gives preference to those communities with the greatest need. The 2021 Budget eliminates this program because it has not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such as economic growth and decreasing out-migration.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

Rural economic development loans are made for the purpose of promoting rural economic development and job creation projects. Loans are made to electric and telecommunication borrowers, who, in turn, finance rural development projects in their service areas. Program costs are derived from interest earnings on borrowers' "cushion of credit'' loan prepayments. The 2021 Budget eliminates this program because it has not been able to show evidence of improved outcomes; such as economic growth and decreasing out-migration.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

This account funds the direct and guaranteed water and waste disposal loans, water and waste disposal grants, emergency community water assistance grants, and solid waste management grants.

Water and waste disposal loans are authorized under 7 U.S.C. 1926. The program provides direct loans to municipalities, counties, special purpose districts, certain Indian Tribes, and non-profit corporations to develop water and waste disposal systems in rural areas and towns with populations of less than 20,000. The program also guarantees water and waste disposal loans made by banks and other eligible lenders.

Water and waste disposal grants are authorized under Section 306(a)(2) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are authorized to be made to associations, including nonprofit corporations, municipalities, counties, public and quasi-public agencies, and certain Indian tribes. The grants can be used to finance development, storage, treatment, purification, or distribution of water or the collection, treatment, or disposal of waste in rural areas and cities or towns with populations of less than 10,000. The amount of any development grant may not exceed 75 percent of the eligible development cost of the project.

Emergency community water assistance grants are authorized under Section 306A of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are made to public bodies and nonprofit organizations for construction or extension of water lines, repair or maintenance of existing systems, replacement of equipment, and payment of costs to correct emergency situations. These grants are funded on an as needed basis using flexibility of funds authority.

Solid waste management grants are authorized under Section 310B(b) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are made to non-profit organizations to provide regional technical assistance to local and regional governments and related agencies for the purpose of reducing or eliminating pollution of water resources, and for improving the planning and management of solid waste disposal facilities.

The 2021 Budget requests $1.27 billion in direct loans, $50 million in guaranteed loans, and $614 million in grants. The 2018 Farm Bill increased the population limit to 20,000 for direct loans. Increasing the population limit will help additional communities to get funding from this program, it will improve customer service and lower per person rates for these communities. As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property). The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis.

The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) conducts the rural electrification and the rural telecommunications loan programs. The rural electrification loan program finances the operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems. The rural telecommunications loan program provides funding for construction, expansion, and operation of telecommunications lines and facilities or systems. The Budget requests $5.5 billion for the electric Treasury direct loan program, and $690 million for the telecommunications Treasury direct loan program.For administrative costs, the 2021 Budget requests $38 million.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct and guaranteed loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

The Rural Telephone Bank was dissolved in 2006. To accomplish this, the Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were used to redeem a portion of the Government's stock. The Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were transferred to the Rural Electrification and Telecommunications liquidating account in 2006.

The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) continues to service all loans in this account, providing business management and technical assistance to the borrowers on a regular basis over the life of the loans.

Rural electric.—This program is financed through RUS direct loans for the construction and operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, all cash flows to and from the Government resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed prior to 1992. All new activity in Rural Electrification and Telecommunications Revolving Fund in 1992 and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts.

The following tables reflect statistics on loans made through the liquidating account only. Since 1992 new electric and telephone loans have been made through a separate program account.

The loan and grant program provides access to advanced telecommunications services for improved education and health care in rural areas throughout the country. The loans and grants help education and health care providers bring the most modern technology, level of care, and education to rural America so its citizens can compete regionally, nationally, and globally.

The 2021 Budget proposes $44 million for Distance Learning and Telemedicine grants. The Budget also provides $30 million for Broadband grants and $250 million for the rural e-Connectivity pilot program to support loans and grants consistent with the authority in the 2018 Appropriations Act.

As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

The Foreign Agricultural Service's (FAS) mission is linking U.S. agriculture to the world to enhance export opportunities and global food security. FAS helps to provide outlets for the wide variety of U.S. agricultural products, thereby enhancing economic activity for U.S. workers. FAS serves U.S. agriculture's interests by expanding and maintaining international export opportunities, supporting international economic development and trade and capacity building, and global food security. The outcomes envisioned are exports that help U.S. agriculture prosper, the expansion of U.S. exports of organics and crops produced using new technologies and food that are globally available, accessible, and appropriately used. In addition to its Washington-based staff, the agency maintains a network of overseas offices that serve as first responders in cases of market disruption. The overseas offices also provide the Department with critical market and policy intelligence, and they represent U.S. agriculture in consultations with foreign governments. The 2021 Budget includes $194 million for FAS. For more information on FAS's mission and program topic areas, please visit http://www.fas.usda.gov/topics.

Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers

The Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers Program was reauthorized and modified by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as established by Subtitle C of Title I of the Trade Act of 2002, which amended the Trade Act of 1974. The 2021 Budget does not request funding for the program.

FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Multiple food aid programs are appropriated to USDA and administered by USDA or the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to provide U.S. commodities, technical and financial assistance to address hunger and malnutrition needs worldwide. These programs address emergency needs and foster economic development activities to alleviate global food insecurity.

1 The Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019, provided $15 million and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020, provided $20 million within McGovern-Dole that can be used for Local and Regional Food Aid Procurement.2 Includes $216 million provided through Section 777 of the Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019. 3 Assets of the trust can be released any time the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development determines that P.L. 480 Title II funding for emergency needs are inadequate to meet these needs in an fiscal year.

Included in this category are the following activities carried out under Public Law 480 (P.L. 480):

Financing sales of agricultural commodities to developing countries for dollars on credit terms, or for local currencies (including for local currencies on credit terms) for use under sec. 104; and for furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of 1985, as amended (Title I).—Funds appropriated for P.L. 480 Title I since FY 2006 are used to finance all sales made pursuant to agreements concluded under the authority of Title I. No 2021 funding is requested for new direct credit under Title I; however, funding for administrative expenses associated with managing the existing loan portfolio is requested.

Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad (Title II).—Title II of the Food for Peace Act (P.L. 83–480), as amended, formerly the Agricultural Trade Development and Assistance Act of 1954) authorizes the provision of U.S. food assistance to meet emergency food needs around the world, and funds development-oriented programs to help address the underlying causes of food insecurity. P.L. 480 Title II is appropriated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

The Commodity Credit Corporation (the Corporation) is authorized to pay the costs of acquisition, packaging, processing, enrichment, preservation, fortification, transportation, handling, and other incidental costs incurred up to the time of delivery at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight charges, and pays transportation costs to points of entry other than ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific country are not available, where ports cannot be used effectively, or where a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and pays general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition, transportation costs from designated points of entry or ports of entry abroad to storage and distribution sites and associated storage and distribution costs may be paid for commodities made available to meet urgent and extraordinary relief requirements. P.L. 480 funds reimburse the Corporation for all of the cost items authorized above. The 2021 Budget proposes to eliminate the program.

The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program, as amended, is authorized under the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (Public Law 107–171). The program provides for the donation of U.S. agricultural commodities and associated technical and financial assistance to carry out preschool and school feeding programs in foreign countries. Maternal, infant, and child nutrition programs also are authorized. The 2021 Budget proposes to eliminate the program and prioritizes development assistance through more cost-efficient and effective programs within USAID.

In past years, P.L. 480 Title II grants funded emergency and development food aid programs authorized under Title II of the Food for Peace Act (P.L. 83–480). Funding for Title II is appropriated to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). There is no 2021 request for Title II.

To replace the inefficient food aid provided through Title II, the 2021 request includes funding for emergency food needs within the new, more efficient International Humanitarian Assistance (IHA) account.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the primary source of nutrition assistance for low-income Americans. This account also includes funds for a grant to Puerto Rico to administer a low-income nutrition assistance program, in lieu of SNAP; funds to carry out the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983; and funds for food distribution and administrative expenses for Native Americans under section 4(b) of the Food and Nutrition Act.

The SNAP contingency fund holds benefits in reserve to cover unforeseen events, such as natural disasters and fluctuations in food prices.

The Budget continues to include a bold suite of proposals to promote employment, improve nutrition, and target benefits to the most needy households. The Budget maintains the proposal to create a uniform work requirement for all able-bodied adults aged 18 to 65 as well as the America's Harvest Box proposal to combine retail-based SNAP benefits with a package of nutritious, 100 percent American-grown food. The proposal to eliminate funding for SNAP nutrition education grants, which have not demonstrated success in measurable ways, is also continued from 2020, along with a number of other proposals to reduce costs and streamline State administration. In addition, the Budget proposes new program integrity initiatives to enhance monitoring and oversight, improve payment accuracy, and increase efficiency.

The Child Nutrition Programs provide reimbursement to State agencies for cash and commodity meal subsidies through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), School Breakfast Program (SBP), Special Milk Program, Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). These programs provide nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free breakfasts and lunches to children every school day; nutrition assistance to children when school is not in session during summer months; and reimbursement to child care providers for nutritious meals and snacks. In addition, the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, targeted to low-income elementary schools, provides fresh fruits and vegetables at no charge to children during the school day. The 2021 Budget will support more than 5.2 billion lunches and snacks served to 31 million children in the NSLP, over 2.5 billion breakfasts served to more than 15 million children in the SBP, and over 2.1 billion meals and snacks served in day care facilities.

The FY 2021 President's Budget includes legislative proposals that will increase the impact of the Farm to School Grant Program by increasing the maximum grant amount stakeholders may receive; improve program integrity by increasing income verification sample sizes; and ensure that Community Eligibility benefits are targeted toward high-poverty schools. The Budget also proposes to delink the Child Nutrition funding from Section 32 customs receipts and instead provide a direct Treasury transfer each year without further appropriation. Under the proposal, FNS will receive an initial permanent mandatory appropriation equal to the amount that would have otherwise been made available by customs receipt transfer for activities that include the purchase of fruit and vegetable commodities, removal of defective commodities, and disaster relief. This initial appropriation will be adjusted annually based upon the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) and the requested annual appropriations language will continue to subsume those amounts within the total appropriation.

This account funds the Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP), administrative expenses of The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP), The WIC Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (FMNP), The Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP), assistance for the nuclear-affected islands, and disaster relief.

CSFP provides food packages for low-income elderly persons and funds the State administrative expenses required to operate the program. However, because CSFP is relatively small and is duplicative of other nutrition assistance programs, the Budget does not continue funding for this program. TEFAP provides cash to support State administrative activities and to maintain the storage and distribution pipeline for USDA and privately-donated commodities (TEFAP commodities are separately funded through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) account). The account also funds the SFMNP and FMNP, which provide low-income elderly and WIC-eligible participants, respectively, with vouchers to purchase produce at farmers' markets. The Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program is funded by a transfer from the Commodity Credit Corporation. The Budget does not continue funding for FMNP because it is duplicative of the WIC cash value voucher.

The 2021 Budget requests $453,173,000 for Capital Improvement and Maintenance. Funding provides for capital improvement and maintenance of Forest Service assets, including facilities, roads, and trails. The program emphasizes efficient and effective reinvestment and maintenance of National Forest System (NFS) infrastructure that supports public and administrative uses, and quality recreation experiences with minimal impact to ecosystem stability and conditions.

Facilities.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of recreation sites; visitor centers; fire, research, administrative, and other facilities; telecommunication sites and towers, dams, and the acquisition of buildings and other facilities necessary to carry out the mission of the Forest Service.

Roads.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of the National Forest road system, including bridges and terminal facilities such as parking lots, trailhead parking, camping spurs, and truck turnarounds. Funding priorities include driver safety and resource protection, ecosystem health including clean water and aquatic passage, and mission-critical needs, such as achievement of the agency goal of selling 4 billion board feet of timber in FY 2021.

Trails.—Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of NFS trails. Funding is used to keep trails open for access and to protect vegetation, soil, and water quality.

Roads and Trails (10 Percent) Fund.—The 2021 Budget proposes to retain receipts in the amount of $15,000,000 from this fund, without regard to the State in which the amounts were derived, to repair or reconstruct roads, bridges, and trails on National Forest System lands, or to carry out and administer projects to improve forest health conditions.

The 2021 Budget requests $249.3 million for Forest and Rangeland Research (Forest Service R&D). Within this funding level, $78.5 million is requested for Forest Inventory and Analysis to continue to implement the inventory program in all 50 States (including interior Alaska), the affiliated Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Funding requested allows the Forest Service to focus on the most critical needs for Research and Development. The Forest Service R&D will invest more than $12.5 million in initiatives to strengthen the link between research and wildfire suppression operations. Supporting R&D delivery on national priorities will necessitate closure the Pacific Southwest research station and the Institute of Tropical Forestry, and terminating certain other lower-priority research activities.

The Forest Service has contracted with the National Academy of Public Administration to conduct an assessment of the coordination, responsiveness, efficiency, and effectiveness of the Research and Development program. This effort is designed to address issues raised by Congress and will be used to focus our research agenda on national priorities.

The 2021 Budget requests $2,005 million for the National Forest System (NFS) for the stewardship and management of the system's 193 million acres of national forests and grasslands. This includes the 154 national forests and 20 national grasslands, located in 44 States and Puerto Rico, and managed under multiple-use and sustained-yield principles. The natural resources of timber, minerals, range, wildlife, outdoor recreation, watershed, and soil are used in a planned combination that best meets the needs of the Nation without impairing productivity of the land or damaging the environment.

The 2021 Budget prioritizes funding of programs designed to increase the health and resilience of the national forests and grasslands, while also meeting the multiple use requirements for the resources on our Nation's forests and grasslands.

The 2021 Budget requests $510 million for Hazardous Fuels funding to provide for treatment of hazardous fuels within the wildland-urban interface and highest priority areas of NFS lands, and adjacent State and private lands through prescribed burning, mechanical treatments, and other methods in order to restore forest health and reduce wildfire risks.

The 2021 Budget requests $263.6 million for Recreation, Heritage and Wilderness. Funds for this program will be used to provide public recreational access to over 193 million acres of scenic lands, with almost 159,000 miles of trails, 27,000 developed recreation sites, 220,000 miles of fishable streams, 122 ski areas, and over 450,000 heritage sites. The Forest Service will prioritize permitting for outfitters and guides, maintaining and growing strong collaborations with partners and volunteer groups, and working to address the recreational needs of today's public, who want year-round activities on National Forest System lands.

The 2021 Budget requests $385 million for Forest Products. Funds for this program will be used to increase timber sales in support of the 2021 goal of 4 billion board feet of timber sold. This exceeds the previous goal of 3.8 board feet offered for sale in the Executive Order "Promoting Active Management of America's Forests, Rangelands, and other Federal Lands to Improve Conditions and reduce Wildfire Risk" issued on December 21, 2018.

The overall objective of all NFS program activities is to reestablish and retain the resilience of NFS lands, to achieve sustainable management and use, and to provide a broad range of ecosystem services. A priority component in the Budget request is continuing support for Law Enforcement Operations to clean up and reclaim illegal marijuana grow sites on NFS lands.

The 2021 Budget continues the emphasis on Forest Service program performance and accountability agency-wide, and on delivering critical services more efficiently. The Forest Service business rules for accomplishment reporting incorporate not only directly funded work, but also accomplishments achieved through integration between program areas or partnerships with external groups. This effort improves performance and accountability by shifting focus to accomplishments that naturally align with other programs and partner organizations to achieve multiple goals.

The 2021 Budget requests $217.4 million for State and Private Forestry programs to help sustain forests on State and private lands, in both rural and urban areas, and to protect communities and the natural environment from wildland fires, tree pests and diseases, and invasive plants. Technical assistance and grants help facilitate sound resource stewardship by providing tools to address forest health threats on a landscape scale, while maintaining the flexibility for individual forest landowners and resource managers to pursue their objectives. This funding will support the Forest Service's Shared Stewardship strategy which aims to increase emphasis on work across boundaries with States and other partners to prioritize investments in lands that can make a difference in conditions across an entire landscape. This collaboration will accelerate gains in reducing fire risk and in improving resilient forest conditions. Specific areas of emphasis are:

Landscape Scale Restoration.—Funds in the amount of $14 million for competitive grants that carry out science-based restoration of priority forest landscapes by reducing wildfire risk; improving fish and wildlife habitat; maintaining or improving water quality and watershed function; mitigating invasive species, insect infestation, and disease; improving important forest ecosystems; and measuring economic and ecological benefits, including air quality and soil quality and productivity.

Forest Health Management.—Funds in the amount of $84.6 million for activities on Federal and cooperative lands to maintain healthy, productive ecosystems by preventing, detecting, and suppressing damaging native and invasive insect infestations and tree diseases across all land ownership jurisdictions, and invasive plants on cooperative lands. Based on a science-based forest health risk map, the 2021 Budget allocates funding to address national priorities and reduce risk for landscape damage in the most effective and efficient manner. The agency will document changes in insect, disease, and invasive plant geographic range, population dynamics of host preferences of pests, and other changes in pest activity, and will explore gene conservation efforts. Funding of this program is a critical part of the Forest Service's capacity to continue to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires, improve water quality and quantity, and increase carbon sequestration.

Cooperative Forestry.—Funds in the amount of $20.6 million are requested for the Working Forest Lands Program (previously the Forest Stewardship Program), which provides professional forestry assistance to landowners to encourage sound environmental management of non-industrial private forest lands. Cooperative forestry activities help maintain the integrity of our Nation's valuable forested landscapes, and support the Federal interest in obtaining and preserving for the public an array of social, economic, and environmental benefits from privately owned forests. The Forest Service will track how cooperative funds are targeted to priority areas and themes identified in State Forest Action Plans.

Cooperative Fire Programs.—This request includes funding for the National Fire Capacity and Rural Fire Capacity programs in the amounts of $81.1 million and $17 million; respectively, to enhance the capacity of States to increase the fire adaptability of communities by providing grant funding and technical assistance to: (1) increase their initial attack capabilities, and (2) purchase and maintain firefighting equipment. Funding also supports training, planning, and fire prevention and education programs.

The 2021 Budget requests $2,409 million for Wildland Fire Management (WFM) for Forest Service fire preparedness and fire suppression operations on National Forest System (NFS) lands, adjacent State and private lands, and other lands under fire protection agreements. Firefighter and public safety are the primary considerations for all wildfire response operations. To support a Department-wide priority, $23.5 million is requested for investment toward an intra-agency Land Mobile Radio shared services model to lower costs, improve operational efficiencies, and better respond to emergencies. In addition, the Forest Service will direct $10 million in its Risk Management Assistance Framework to enhance line officer capacity to make wildfire response decisions using performance data and other tools developed by agency R&D; and, will allocate $15 million to implement the Wildfire Technology Modernization section of the Dingell Conservation and Management Act of 2019.

Preparedness.—Funds the agency capability to protect life, property, infrastructure and natural resources through an appropriate initial attack response.

Preparedness provides for fire management assets that protect NFS lands, and other Federal, State, and private lands from damaging wildfires, thus reducing threats to life, property, infrastructure and natural resource values commensurate with land management objectives in the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy. Key components of wildland fire response mission delivery are fire season readiness, year-round capability and program leadership necessary to ensure appropriate, risk informed, and effective operations. Preparedness also supports other vital elements of a comprehensive wildland fire management program, including modernization of the large airtanker fleet, planning, prevention, development of information technology and decision support systems, training and education, development and advancement of firefighting technology, and organizational learning through program analysis and review.

Through this program, the Forest Service also assists other Federal agencies and States with planning assistance, sharing joint equipment use contracts and interagency fire coordination centers. Readiness levels reflect improvements in efficiencies and management controls to strategically deploy firefighting resources, including predictive services analysis of fire season potential, web-based wildfire decision support tools, centralized management of aviation assets, ongoing analysis to optimize dispatch, and investment in information technology.

Suppression Operations.—Provides for risk-informed extended attack suppression and large fire support at wildland fires on or threatening NFS lands, other Federal lands, and 20 million acres of non-Federal lands under fire protection agreements. The 2021 Budget requests funding at $1,011 million, the amount stipulated by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (P.L. 115–141) through Fiscal Year 2027. The Act also amended the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control act to provide additional new budget authority for fiscal years 2020 through 2027.

Wildfires continue to be larger and more difficult to suppress due to the effects of persistent drought, hazardous fuel conditions, and the ongoing growth of residential and commercial development adjacent to fire-prone areas in the wildland-urban interface (WUI). The Forest Service recognizes the costs of WUI suppression activities, and will continue to aggressively pursue management improvements, including:

— using risk-informed, performance-based suppression strategies,

— clarifying roles and responsibilities in the WUI,

— using appropriate cost-share agreements and pursuing 100 percent cost recovery from Federal, State, and local entities, and

— deploying decision support tools.

The Suppression program also funds Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) activities, which address situations where life, property, water quality, and deteriorated ecosystems may be further threatened from post-fire flooding and other damage. The BAER program provides for immediate emergency post-fire response to manage unacceptable risks to people and resources triggered by the changed conditions to the landscape in the aftermath of a fire.

Development of necessary governance and risk management protocols to guide program management and incident response, with the application of resources to reduce unnecessary risk to firefighter safety in the short-term, and increase the long-term resilience of fire-adapted ecosystems, will continue to be a focus. The Forest Service will also continue efforts to allow fire to return to the landscape when it will improve the health of the forest, and when risks to community safety make it appropriate to do so.

The 2021 Budget requests $2.1 million for the Range Betterment Fund for range rehabilitation, protection, and improvement of lands on national forests in western States. Under the authority of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1751), as amended, fifty percent of fees from permitted grazing of domestic livestock, once appropriated, are used to protect and improve rangeland productivity, primarily through revegetation, and construction, reconstruction, and maintenance of rangeland improvements. This program emphasizes essential structural and non-structural improvements prescribed in grazing allotment management plans and other project plans as developed according to the National Environmental Policy Act. Treatment of invasive plant species related to permitted livestock use continues to be a priority for non-structural rangeland improvement work.

The Agriculture Improvement Act, 2018 authorizes the Forest Service to establish, collect, and retain a new administrative fee to cover costs incurred by the Forest Service to manage communication site uses on National Forest System (NFS) lands. The 2021 Budget requests $6 million in land use administrative fees collected for communication sites on NFS lands.

These funds support the Administration's priority of increasing broadband access to rural communities, the Department of Agriculture's goal to "Assist Rural Communities to Create Prosperity;" and USDA Rural Development's effort to increase broadband access for rural communities. These funds also support the Federal Interagency Broadband Opportunity Council's recommendation to promote increased broadband deployment through expanded access to Federal assets, helping service providers obtain the permits necessary to build out broadband networks on Federal lands.

With these funds the Forest Service will better serve its customers, emergency response providers, and visitors to NFS lands by providing expanded telecommunications capabilities, including cellular coverage and broadband access, to rural communities. These expanded capabilities will benefit rural communities and areas where little or no capability currently exists, enable greater coordination in emergency response situations, and increase overall safety for visitors, agency staff, and first responders.

Stewardship Contracting.—The Forest Service may enter into stewardship agreements or contracts for projects to achieve land management goals and meet local and rural community needs. Stewardship contracting product sales enable the Forest Service to apply the value of timber or other forest products from stewardship sales as an offset against the costs to accomplish land and resource management objectives. If the offset value of timber or other forest products exceeds the value of the resource improvement treatments, those sales receipts are retained and deposited in the Stewardship Contracting Fund, and are available until expended for other authorized stewardship projects. This authority was reauthorized permanently, pursuant to P.L. 113–79, Agricultural Act of 2014. The Consolidated Appropriation Act of 2018 extends the maximum duration of stewardship contracts in areas of great risk of catastrophic fire from 10 years to 20 years, and allows for the obligation of funds to cover contract cancellation or termination costs in stages over multiple years rather than in the first year of the contract. Longer contract periods may expand the industry's capacity to create additional markets for wood products in areas where mills are scarce, and spreading the cancellation ceiling cost over more than one year can make it more financially viable to use stewardship contracts to actively manage and restore forests.

The Fund will support infrastructure improvements through an allocation of 70 percent for national parks, 10 percent for national forests, 10 percent for wildlife refuges, 5 percent for BIE schools, and 5 percent for lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The Fund will be supported by the deposit of 50 percent of all federal energy development revenue that would otherwise be credited or deposited as miscellaneous receipts to the Treasury over the 2021–2025 period, subject to an annual limit of $1.3 billion. Interior and Agriculture would prioritize projects, monitor implementation and measure results. This investment will significantly improve many of America's most visible, visited and treasured places.

Minerals Cost Recovery.—The Forest Service currently has authority under the Independent Offices Appropriations Act (IOAA) to charge cost recovery fees for processing applications for and monitoring compliance with mining locatable mineral Plans of Operations (POOs) for mining, and Surface Use Plans of Operations (SUPOs) for oil and gas leases, and other written Forest Service authorizations relating to the Forest Service minerals program disposal of locatable and leasable minerals on NFS lands. To use this authority, the Forest Service needs to issue cost recovery regulations to standardize the fees charged and needs statutory authority to retain and spend the fees collected, without further appropriation, for processing and monitoring POOs, SUPOs, and other written Forest Service authorizations relating to the disposal of locatable and leasable minerals on NFS lands.

The Minerals Cost Recovery proposal authorizes the Forest Service to retain and spend new cost recovery fees (to be established through rulemaking) for locatable mineral plans of operations and surface use plans of operations for oil and gas leases, and other written Forest Service authorizations relating to the disposal of locatable and leasable (but not saleable) minerals on all NFS lands. The Forest Service already has the authority to collect these fees, but does not currently do so, because there is no authority to retain them, under existing law, the fees are sent to the Treasury. The proposal caps the amount that may be retained at $60 million annually.

Lands and Realty Management.—The Forest Service is proposing two increases to waiver thresholds for the land exchange program that will reduce the administrative burden by approximately 70 percent and increase the quantity of land exchange proposal eligibility by approximately 30 percent. These thresholds have not been changed since they were set by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (Public Law 100–409) in 1988. The Forest Service is proposing to increase the waiver threshold requirement to adjusted for inflation, and to adjust the percentage from three to five percent, to allow projects with very minor value differences to skip the requirement to provide a cash equalization payment to the sale proponent for land exchanges. The proposed threshold change would be from $15,000 to $45,000.

The Working Capital Fund is a self-sustaining revolving fund that provides services to national forests, research experiment stations, other Federal agencies when necessary, State and private agencies as provided by law, and to persons who cooperate with the Forest Service in fire control and other authorized programs. Forestry-related supply and support services include:

Equipment Services.—The Fund owns, operates, maintains, replaces, and repairs common-use, motor-driven, and similar equipment. This equipment is rented to administrative units including national forests, research experiment stations, other Forest Service units, and to other federal and non-federal agencies. Rental rates include an incremental charge which, when added to depreciation and residual value, provides sufficient funds to finance equipment replacement costs.

Aircraft Services.—The Fund operates, maintains, and repairs Forest Service-owned aircraft used in fire surveillance and suppression, and in other Forest Service programs. Aircraft replacement costs are financed from either appropriated funds or the Forest Service Working Capital Fund, or a combination of both.

Supply Services.—The Fund operates common services and provides for cost-recovery of Working Capital Fund Program Management. Common services include photo reproduction laboratories that store, reproduce, and supply aerial photographs, aerial maps, and other photographs of national forest lands. Photographic reproductions are sold to national forests, research experiment stations, and others at cost. Common services also include sign shops to manufacture special signs for the national forests for use in regulating traffic and posting information to the public and other users of the national forests. These signs are sold to national forests and research experiment stations at cost.

Nurseries.—The Fund operates seed supply services that provide tree seeds for direct seeding or sowing in nurseries for the production of trees. Activities include purchase or collection of cones, extraction of seeds, cleaning and testing, and storage and delivery. The fund operates in conjunction with forest tree nurseries and cold storage facilities for storage of tree seedlings. Tree seedlings are sold to national forests, State foresters, and other cooperators at cost.
