Economic Research Service Economic Research Service Economic Research ServiceFor necessary expenses of the Economic Research Service, $87,171,000$85,971,000. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. The Economic Research Service provides economic and other social science research and analysis for public and private decisions on agriculture, food, natural resources, and rural America. The 2012 Budget request, while funding most of ERS' core programs, includes total increases of $8.4 million, including increases of $2.4 million to develop a Center of Excellence for Behavioral Economics, $2 million to support community access to local foods, and $4 million to strengthen the Department's statistical protocols and tools. These increases are offset by reductions of $4.9 million in lower priority activities. The Center of Excellence for Behavioral Economics will conduct both intramural and extramural behavioral economic research, which will inform food, farm, rural development, or natural resource policy decision making. Behavioral economics offers the capability to analyze ex ante policy impacts, before proposed policy solutions have been implemented. ERS will apply this new approach to policy questions for farm program participation, resource use, technology adoption, and risk management, in addition to on-going work on food assistance. USDA and its customers will benefit from this analysis to the extent that it informs how programs are designed for cost efficiencies and greatest effectiveness.The $4 million for statistical protocol and tools includes $2 million to establish a structure among statistical agencies, managed through ERS, to improve data access, develop tools for data processing, and increase the utility and coordination of statistical protocols and tools for Federal data; and $2 million for an administrative data pilot project involving three statistical agencies that are jointly implementing OMB's statistical system-wide pilot test on uses, and barriers to appropriate use, of administrative data with statistical data. Administrative data, information already collected in conjunction with administering government programs, provide an opportunity for increasing the statistical ability to understand and address critical policy issues.Miscellaneous funds received from States, local organizations, and others are available for support of economic research and analysis (7 U.S.C. 450b, 450h, 3318b).Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1701–0–1–3522010 actualCR2012 est.

National Agricultural Statistics Service National Agricultural Statistics Service National Agricultural Statistics ServiceFor necessary expenses of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, $164,721,000$165,421,000, of which up to $33,494,000$41,639,000 shall be available until expended for the Census of Agriculture. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The 2012 request for the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is a net increase of $3.6 million from the 2011 Annualized Continuing Resolution. The request includes total increases of $11.9 million, of which a cyclical increase of $8.5 million would finalize preparations for the Census of Agriculture scheduled to be mailed to potential respondents in December 2012 and an additional $3.4 million would be used to improve the quality of county estimates. These increases are largely offset by reductions of $8.3 million in lower priority activities, such as the elimination of the Farm Estimates labor program and the tenure, ownership, and transition of land survey.The Service provides the official National and State estimates of acreage, yield, and production of crops, 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 over 500 reports issued each year. In addition, the Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years, which provides comprehensive data on the Nation's agricultural industry down to the county level. Incentives and promotional items are used by National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) to support outreach efforts to maximize response rates on surveys and the Census of Agriculture.The work under this activity is conducted through 46 field offices serving the 50 States and Puerto Rico; most of these offices are operated as joint State and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies provide additional State and county data. NASS proposes an increase of $3.4 million for a critical county estimates program improvement initiative. NASS has carefully reviewed existing programs to determine where reductions could be taken. To support this critical initiative, the 2012 Budget proposes to eliminate lower priority surveys, such as the July Sheep and Goats Estimate, Livestock County Estimates, State Level Livestock Price Received, and Farm Labor Survey for a savings of $3.6 million.The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years to take a snapshot of America's agriculture. This picture, when compared to earlier censuses, helps to measure trends and new developments in the agricultural sector of our Nation's economy. The Census is critical because it provides the only source of comparable and consistent detailed data about agriculture at the county level. In order to support Administration priorities, NASS carefully reviewed existing programs to determine where reductions could be taken. The 2012 Budget request includes an increase of $8.5 million reflecting the normal activity levels resulting from the cyclical nature of the 5-year Census of Agriculture program. Funding will be used to collect data to measure coverage of the census mail list, prepare census mail packages, and to prepare for data collection activities to occur in 2013. 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).Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1801–0–1–3522010 actualCR2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the principal in-house research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The ARS mission is to conduct 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. The ARS' mission is carried out through its major research program areas and other activities listed below (in italics).ARS major research programs—New Products/Product Quality/Value Added; Livestock/Crop Production; Food Safety; Livestock/Crop Protection; Human Nutrition; and Environmental Stewardship—address the Department's priorities. ARS' 2012 Salaries and Expenses Budget proposes high priority increases of $55.7 million for new and expanded research initiatives in food safety; crop/animal breeding and protection; child and human nutrition; bioenergy/biomass; plant, animal, and microbial collections; production systems for sustainable agriculture; global climate change; and the National Agricultural Library. In addition, the agency is requesting an increase of $3 million for the repair and maintenance of its laboratories/facilities. Offsetting ARS' requested increases are $100.7 million in proposed decreases for lower priority projects. The proposed reductions—$41.9 million in Congressional earmarks, $38.7 million in project terminations, and $20.1 million in extramural research terminations—will provide the necessary funding for the critical research priorities proposed by the agency for 2012.New Products/Product Quality/Value AddedARS has active research programs directed toward (1) improving the efficiency and reducing the cost for the conversion of agricultural products into biobased products and biofuels, (2) developing new and improved products to help establish them in domestic and foreign markets, and (3) providing higher quality, healthy foods that satisfy consumer needs in the United States and abroad. The 2012 Budget proposes an additional $6 million for the establishment of five regional biofuel feedstocks research and demonstration centers.Environmental Stewardship—Water Quality; Air/Soil Quality; Global Climate Change; Range/Grazing Lands; Agricultural Systems Integration.—ARS research programs in environmental stewardship support scientists at more than 70 locations. Emphasis is given to developing technologies and systems that support profitable production and enhance the Nation's vast renewable natural resource base. ARS is currently developing the scientific knowledge and technologies needed to meet the challenges and opportunities facing U.S. agriculture in managing water resource quality and quantity under different climatic regimes, production systems, and environmental conditions. ARS air resources research is developing measurement, prediction, and control technologies for emissions of greenhouse gases, particulate matter, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds affecting air quality and land surface climate interactions. The agency is a leader in developing measurement and modeling techniques for characterizing gaseous and particulate matter emissions from agriculture. In addition, ARS is evaluating strategies for enhancing the health and productivity of soils, including developing predictive tools to assess the sustainability of alternative land management practices. Finding mechanisms to aid agriculture in adapting to changes in atmospheric composition and climatic variations is also an important component of ARS research program. ARS range and grazing land research includes the conservation and restoration of the Nation's range land and pasture ecosystems and agroecosystems through improved management of fire, invasive weeds, grazing, global change, and other agents of ecological change. The agency is currently developing improved grass and forage legume germplasm for livestock, conservation, bioenergy, and bioproduct systems as well as grazing-based livestock systems that reduce risk and increase profitability. In addition, ARS is developing whole system management strategies to reduce production costs and risks. The 2012 Budget proposal includes increases that total $8.5 million to help adapt American agriculture to a changing global climate, and for the development of production systems to support sustainable agriculture.ARS' livestock production program is directed toward: (1) safeguarding and utilizing animal genetic resources, associated genetic and genomic databases, and bioinformatic tools; (2) developing a basic understanding of the physiology of livestock and poultry; and (3) developing information, tools, and technologies that can be used to improve animal production systems. The research is heavily focused on the development and application of genomics technologies to increase the efficiency and product quality of beef, dairy, swine, poultry, aquaculture, and sheep systems. Current areas of emphasis include increasing efficiency of nutrient utilization, increasing animal well-being and reducing stress in production systems, increasing reproductive rates and breeding animal longevity, developing and evaluating non-traditional production systems (e.g., organic, natural), and evaluating and conserving animal genetic resources. The 2012 Budget includes proposed increases that total $4.5 million for improvements to production to optimize genetic potential to protect the environment, including enhancements to animal and microbial collections.ARS' crop production program focuses on developing and improving ways to reduce crop losses while protecting and ensuring a safe and affordable food supply. The research program concentrates on effective production strategies that are environmentally friendly, safe to consumers, and compatible with sustainable and profitable crop production systems. Research activities are directed at safeguarding and utilizing plant genetic resources and their associated genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic databases that facilitate selection of varieties and/or germplasm with significantly improved traits. Current research activities attempt to minimize the impacts of crop pests while maintaining healthy crops and safe commodities that can be sold in markets throughout the world. ARS is conducting research to discover and exploit naturally occurring and engineered genetic mechanisms for plant pest control, develop agronomic germplasm with durable defensive traits, and transfer genetic resources for commercial use. ARS provides taxonomic information on invasive species that strengthens prevention techniques, aids in detection/identification of invasive pests, and increases control through management tactics that restore habitats and biological diversity. The 2012 Budget proposal includes increases that total $7.8 million to improve crop breeding, and to enhance the capacity to conserve a broad diversity of plant germplasm system resources through research on plant and microbial collections.ARS animal health program is directed at protecting and ensuring the safety of the Nation's agriculture and food supply through improved disease detection, prevention, control, and treatment. Basic and applied research approaches are used to solve animal health problems of high national priority. Emphasis is given to methods and procedures to control animal diseases. The research program has ten strategic objectives: (1) establish ARS laboratories into a fluid, highly effective research network to maximize use of core competencies and resources; (2) access specialized high containment facilities to study zoonotic and emerging diseases; (3) develop an integrated animal and microbial genomics research program; (4) establish centers of excellence in animal immunology; (5) launch a biotherapeutic discovery program providing alternatives to animal drugs; (6) build a technology driven vaccine and diagnostic discovery research program; (7) develop core competencies in field epidemiology and predictive biology; (8) develop internationally recognized expert collaborative research laboratories; (9) establish a best-in-class training center for our Nation's veterinarians and scientists; and (10) develop a model technology transfer program to achieve the full impact of ARS research discoveries. ARS current animal research program includes eight core components: (1) biodefense research, (2) animal genomics and immunology, (3) zoonotic diseases, (4) respiratory disease, (5) reproductive and neonatal diseases, (6) enteric diseases, (7) parasitic diseases, and (8) transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. The 2012 Budget includes proposed increases that total $4.1 million for research on host/pathogen interactions, on countering biological threats and living animal and microbial germplasm collections.ARS research on crop protection is directed toward epidemiological investigations to understand pest and disease transmission mechanisms, and to identify and apply new technologies that increase understanding of virulence factors and host defense mechanisms. Currently, ARS research priorities include: (1) identification of genes that convey virulence traits in pathogens and pests; (2) factors that modulate infectivity, gene functions, and mechanisms; (3) genetic profiles that provide specified levels of disease and insect resistance under field conditions; and (4) mechanisms that facilitate the spread of pests and infectious diseases. ARS is developing new knowledge and integrated pest management approaches to control pest and disease outbreaks as they occur. Its research will improve the knowledge and understanding of the ecology, physiology, epidemiology, and molecular biology of emerging diseases and pests. This knowledge will be incorporated into pest risk assessments and management strategies to minimize chemical inputs and increase production. Strategies and approaches will be available to producers to control emerging crop diseases and pest outbreaks. The 2012 Budget proposal includes increases that total $5.2 million to discover and deploy new resistant genes to pests and pathogens, strengthen grain research to protect the world grain supply, and enhance existing plant and microbial collections including insect germplasm and insect systematics capacity. Assuring that the United States has the highest levels of affordable, safe food requires that the food system be protected at each stage from production through processing and consumption from pathogens, toxins, and chemical contaminants that cause diseases in humans. The U.S. food supply is very diverse, extensive, easily accessible, and thus vulnerable to the introduction of biological and chemical contaminants through natural processes, intentional means, or by global commerce. ARS' current food safety research is designed to yield science-based knowledge on the safe production, storage, processing, and handling of plant and animal products, and on the detection and control of toxin producing and/or pathogenic bacteria and fungi, parasites, chemical contaminants, and plant toxins. All of ARS' research activities involve a high degree of cooperation and collaboration with USDA's Research, Education, and Economics agencies, as well as with FSIS, APHIS, FDA, CDC, DHS, and the EPA. ARS also collaborates in international research programs to address and resolve global food safety issues. Specific research efforts are directed toward developing new technologies that assist ARS stakeholders and customers, that is, regulatory agencies, industry, and commodity and consumer organizations, in detecting, identifying, and controlling foodborne diseases that affect human health. The 2012 Budget proposal includes increases of $10.7 million for research on emerging chemical threat agents, improvements to the detection of pathogens, toxins and chemical contaminants, alternatives to antibiotics in food animals, and the evaluation of current policies for antibiotic use, and the pathogesis, risk factors and interventions in produce. Maintenance of health throughout the lifespan along with prevention of obesity and chronic diseases via food-based recommendations are the major emphases of ARS human nutrition research program. These health-related goals are based on the knowledge that deficiency diseases are no longer important public health concerns. Excessive consumption has become the primary nutrition problem in the American population. This is reflected by increased emphasis on prevention of obesity from basic science through intervention studies to assessments of large populations. ARS' research program also actively studies bioactive components of foods that have no known requirement but have health promoting activities. Four specific areas of research are currently emphasized: (1) nutrition monitoring and the food supply, e.g., a national diet survey and the food composition databank; (2) dietary guidance f'or health promotion and disease prevention, i.e., specific foods, nutrients, and dietary patterns that maintain health and prevent disease; (3) prevention of obesity and related diseases, including research as to why so few of the population follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans; and (4) life stage nutrition and metabolism, in order to better define the role of nutrition in pregnancy and growth of children, and for healthier aging. The 2012 Budget proposes increases of $7.5 million to evaulate factors affecting adherence to the "Dietary Guidelines for Amercians," determine the nutrient requirments for children, personalize prevention through diet, behavior and genomics, establish health promoting properties of specialty crops and whole grains, and strengthen the nutrition.gov web site. Library and Information Services (NAL)The National Agricultural Library (NAL) is the largest and most accessible agricultural research library in the world. It provides services directly to the staff of USDA and to the public, primarily via the NAL web site, http://www.nal.usda.gov. NAL was created with the USDA in 1862 and was named in 1962 a national library by Congress, as the primary agricultural information resource of the United States. NAL is the premier library for collecting, managing, and disseminating agricultural knowledge. The Library is the repository of our Nation's agricultural heritage, the provider of world class information, and the wellspring for generating new fundamental knowledge and advancing scientific discovery. It is a priceless national resource that, through its services, programs, information products, and web-based tools and technologies, serves anyone who needs agricultural information. The Library's vision is "advancing access to global information for agriculture." The 2012 Budget includes a proposed increase of $1.5 million to provide access to sustainability and environmental data sets for the scientific community. Repair and Maintenance of FacilitiesFunds are used to restore, upgrade, and maintain ARS' facilities to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration and EPA requirements, provide suitable workspace for in-house research programs, and to retrofit existing structures for better energy utilization. The 2012 Budget proposal includes an additional $3 million to address and reduce the backlog of needed facilites' repair and maintenance.Collaborative Research ProgramFunds from the Department of State enable USDA/ARS to support collaborative research projects with scientists from the former Soviet Union and South/Southeast Asia. Through scientific cooperation in agricultural research, the USDA/ARS program supports the State Department's nonproliferation mission while advancing agricultural science by establishing new expertise in these regions, enhancing the effectiveness and productivity of ARS research programs, and helping improve the economy of these regions through advances in agricultural technology.ARS performs research activities and services for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies. These activities and services are paid for on a reimbursable basis.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1400–0–1–3522010 actualCR2012 est.

Initiative for Future Agriculture and Food Systems Adequate funding for similar research is proposed through other USDA research programs. Biomass Research and Development Biomass Research and Development is authorized by the Biomass Research and Development Act of 2000. The program provides competitive grants for research, development, and demonstration to encourage innovation and development related to biomass, and improved commercialization of biobased products and energy. USDA and the Department of Energy jointly administer the program.Current priorities focus on the following: feedstock development and production; biobased products emphasizing environmental and economic performance and gasification of animal manure; integrated resource management and biomass use; demonstration projects that use biodiesel for all operations in the supply chain to produce corn grain ethanol; and effective and targeted incentive systems for biomass commercialization and adoption. The 2012 Budget funds the program at the authorized level of $40 million, an increase of $10 million from the $30 million that was authorized and funded in 2011. In 2012, the program will continue to focus on feedstocks development; biofuels and biobased products development with attention to biobased products and gasification of animal manure; and biofuels development analysis with an expanded emphasis to require applicants to collect specific data that measures sustainability of the technology being proposed.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1003–0–1–2712010 actualCR2012 est.

Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities Endowment FundFor the Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities Endowment Fund under section 1456 (7 U.S.C. 3243) of the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977, $10,000,000, to remain available until expended.native american institutions endowment fundFor the Native American Institutions Endowment Fund authorized by Public Law 103–382 (7 U.S.C. 301 note), $11,880,000, to remain available until expended. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) participates in a nationwide system of agricultural research and education program planning and coordination between State institutions and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It assists in maintaining cooperation among the State institutions, and between the State institutions and their Federal research partners. The agency administers grants and payments to State institutions to supplement State and local funding for agricultural research and higher education.Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive grantsSection 7406 of FCEA establishes the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). AFRI is a competitive grant program to provide funding for fundamental and applied research, extension, and education to address food and agricultural sciences. AFRI projects will address critical issues in U.S. agriculture in the areas of global food security and hunger; climate change; sustainable bioenergy; childhood obesity; and food safety. Addressing these critical issues will engage scientists and educators with expertise in plant health and production and plant products; animal health and production and animal products; food safety, nutrition, and health; renewable energy, natural resources, and environment; agricultural systems and technology; and agriculture economics and rural communities. AFRI allows greater flexibility in the types of projects funded to include: single function projects in research, education, and extension, and integrated research, education and/or extension awards. AFRI is the core competitive grant program for research, education, and extension. The 2012 Budget proposes to increase funding for AFRI from $262 million to $325 million, a 61 percent increase in this program from 2009, and includes within the total a redirection of $12 million from the Graduate Fellowships Program and the Institution Challenge Grants Program into the AFRI program to support activities similar to those previously funded through those two programs to train the next generation of agriculture scientists. This redirection will allow efficiency in management and alignment of medium to long-term research goal with scientific training opportunities and directions.Payments under the Hatch ActFunds under the Hatch Act are allocated on a formula basis to agricultural experiment stations of the land-grant colleges in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Micronesia, and Northern Mariana Islands. In light of constrained budget levels, funding for the Hatch Act is requested at five percent below 2011. Cooperative forestry researchThese funds are allocated by formula to land-grant colleges or agricultural experiment stations in the 50 States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other State-supported colleges and universities having a forestry school and offering graduate training in forestry sciences. In light of constrained budget levels, funding is requested at five percent below 2011.Animal health and disease researchFunds, distributed by formula, support livestock and poultry disease research in approximately sixty-seven colleges of veterinary medicine and in eligible agricultural experiment stations. Payments to 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University and West Virginia State UniversityFunds allocated on a formula basis support agricultural research and broaden the curricula at the eighteen 1890 land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University.This program addresses research areas of national interest. Funding is proposed for grant programs in IR-4 minor crop pest management, and sustainable agriculture. The 2012 Budget proposes to consolidate funding for the Expert Integrated Pest Management Decision Support System, Pest Management Alternatives, and Integrated Pest Management and Biological Control into a single program. This consolidation will improve the efficiency of program implementation and will result in research investments with greater focus, more appropriate scale and enhanced impact. Funding for integrated pest management will provide producers with safe, alternative pest control methods resulting in more farmers increasing the number of acres on which Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods are used. Funding proposed for IR-4 minor crop pest management and minor use animal drugs will address the growing need for registration of safe pesticides and drugs for minor crops and animals and lead to a reduction by half in the levels of chemical and drug residues in food products. These pest management programs will be coordinated to address Food Quality and Protection Act issues. The IR-4 and IPM programs are contained under improved pest control funding. A grant program for global change is proposed for research at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative. Funding is also proposed for aquaculture centers, Joe Skeen Institute for rangeland restoration, and New Era Rural Technology Program. The 2012 Budget does not contain funding for earmarks. 1994 Institutions ResearchFunding is proposed to continue the competitive research grants program to build the research capacity at the thirty-four 1994 institutions by supporting agricultural research activities that address tribal, national and multistate priorities.A coordinating and review staff assists in maintaining cooperation within and among the States, and between the States and their Federal research partners. This staff also administers research and education grants and payments to States. Federal administration is funded from a combination of program set-asides from formula and grant programs and from direct appropriation for administration.Funding is proposed for Hispanic-serving institutions education grants program, and a multicultural scholars program. Funding is also proposed for Native American institutions, Alaska Native-serving and Native Hawaiian-serving Institutions, Secondary Education, Two-Year Postsecondary Education, Agriculture in the K-12 Classroom, Distance Education Grants for Insular Areas and Resident Instruction Grants for Insular Areas programs. These programs enable universities to broaden their curricula; increase faculty development; student research projects; and the number of new scholars recruited in the food and agricultural sciences. In addition, an increased number of graduate students, including minority graduate students, will be enrolled in the agricultural sciences. Funding is also proposed for a capacity building program at the 1890 institutions as part of the USDA initiative to strengthen these institutions through a broadening of curricula, increased faculty development and student research projects. Funding is proposed in the 2012 Budget for the Veterinary Medical Services Act to provide incentives to hire Federal veterinarians to work in shortage areas. In 2012, the Budget proposes that activities formerly supported under the Graduate Fellowhips Program and the Institution Challenge Grants Program be supported under the AFRI program. This will allow efficiency in management and alignment of medium to long-term research goal with scientific training opportunities and directions.Funds support basic and applied agriculture research and activities performed for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies.Native American Institutions Endowment FundThis program provides for an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions (34 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.Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities Endowment FundThis endowment fund for Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities will launch the production of skilled and marketable Hispanic student population for employment in the food and agriculture sector. Over the next ten years, the Endowment will lead to significant and measurable enhanced competence and marketability of Hispanic students in the food and agricultural sciences.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1500–0–1–3522010 actualCR2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Cooperative Extension System, a national educational network, is a dynamic organization pledged to meeting the country's needs for research-based educational programs that will enable people to make practical decisions to improve their lives. To accomplish its mission, the Cooperative Extension System adjusts programs to meet the shifting needs and priorities of the people it serves.The nonformal educational network combines the expertise and resources of Federal, State, and local partners. The partners in this unique System are: (a) The 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 3,150 counties. Thousands of paraprofessionals and nearly 3 million volunteers support this partnership and magnify its impact. Strong linkages with both public and private external groups are also crucial to the Cooperative Extension System's strength and vitality.Programs supported with Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) legislated formula funds are the major educational efforts central to the mission of the System and common to most Extension units. These programs are the foundation of the Extension organization and partnership that are intended to increase the number of community-based projects, families, and individuals reached to disseminate research findings as widely and quickly as possible. The use of electronic mail, satellite transmission of courses, and computer-assisted instruction are encouraged to communicate ideas.Extension resources are provided to the States by these formula funds and competitively-awarded programs such as sustainable agriculture. Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) funds and payments to the 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University provide funds to support the Extension's infrastructure. Funding for these programs is included in the 2012 Budget request. Due to budget constraints, Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) is funded at five percent below 2011. Funds for designated programs, funded by Smith-Lever 3(d) such as the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program, Pest Management, New Technologies for Agricultural Extension, Children, Youth and Families at Risk, Youth Farm Safety Education and Certification, Sustainable Agriculture, and Federally-Recognized Tribes Extension Program are proposed for funding in 2012. Other Extension programs supported in the 2012 Budget include Extension Services at 1994 Institutions, Renewable Resources Extension Act, Rural Health and Safety, 1890 Facilities, and Women and Minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Fields.Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development ProgramThis mandatory program, authorized by section 7410 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA), 2008 Farm Bill, provides funding to support the development of education, outreach, curricula, workshops, educational teams, training, and technical assistance programs to assist beginning farmers and ranchers in the United States and its territories in entering, building, and managing successful farm and ranch enterprises. This program also will provide support for an online electronic and library clearinghouse to provide associated support to individually funded projects, and the overall program.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. The Secretary of Agriculture established the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) on April 2, 1972, under the authority of Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1953 and other authorities. The mission of the Agency is to protect the health and value of American agriculture and natural resources and is carried out using three major areas of activity, as follows: Safeguarding and Emergency Preparedness/Response - APHIS monitors plant and animal health throughout the world and uses the information to set effective agricultural import policies to prevent the introduction of foreign plant and animal pests and diseases. Should a pest or disease enter the United States, APHIS works cooperatively with other Federal, State, and industry partners to conduct plant and animal health monitoring programs to rapidly diagnose them and determine if there is a need to establish new pest or disease management programs. APHIS, in conjunction with States, industry, and other stakeholders, protects American agriculture by eradicating harmful pests and diseases or, where eradication is not feasible, by minimizing their economic impact. APHIS makes judicious use of resources in identifying instances when neither eradication nor management may be possible. The Agency monitors endemic pests and diseases through surveys to detect their location and through inspection to prevent their spread 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 exotic pests and diseases and take emergency action if necessary. Through its Wildlife Services program, APHIS protects agriculture from detrimental animal predators through identification, demonstration, and application of the most appropriate methods of control. The Agency's regulatory structure brings the benefits of genetic research to the marketplace, while protecting against the release of potentially harmful organisms into the environment. APHIS also conducts diagnostic laboratory activities that support the Agency's veterinary disease prevention, detection, control, and eradication programs. The Agency also provides and directs technology development in coordination with other groups in APHIS to support plant protection programs of the Agency and its cooperators at the State, national, and international levels.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. APHIS plays a central role in resolving technical trade issues to ensure the smooth and safe movement of agricultural commodities into and out of the United States. APHIS helps to protect the United States from emerging plant and animal pests and diseases while meeting obligations under the World Trade Organization's SPS agreement by assisting developing countries in improving their safeguarding systems. APHIS develops and implements programs designed to identify and reduce agricultural pest and disease threats while 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 and horses as required by the Animal Welfare Act of 1966 as amended (7 U.S.C. 2131–2159), and the Horse Protection Act of 1970 as amended (15 U.S.C. 1821–1831). These activities include inspection of certain establishments that handle animals intended for research, exhibition, and sale as pets, and monitoring of certain horse shows. APHIS' 2012 Budget request of $833 million is an overall reduction of $75 million from 2011, and includes $64 million in priority increases offset by reductions of $138 million. Some reductions are a result of programs achieving success, such as cotton pests (-$14.413 million), avian health (-$9.3 million), screwworm (-$7.534 million), and pseudorabies (-$2.560 million). Other reductions are due to a change in focus for managing pests and diseases such as the emerald ash borer (-$20 million), the glassy-winged sharpshooter/Pierces disease (-$2 million), and chronic wasting disease (-$12.229 million). The Budget also proposes to eliminate $27 million in earmarks, and increases cooperator cost share rates to more appropriate levels for several programs.The Agency is requesting several increases related to high priority activities. These priorities include continuing implementation of the revamped Animal Disease Traceability program (+$8.85 million), addressing recommendations related to an Office of Inspector General audit on problematic dog dealers (+$5.9 million), and enhancing the Agency's biotechnology regulatory program (+$12.072 million). The Agency is also requesting appropriated funding to continue pest programs initiated using emergency funds. The light brown apple moth program has been operating using the $1 million in appropriated funds and remaining emergency funding, which has since been obligated. APHIS is requesting an additional $10 million to implement a sterile insect technique to control pest populations. The Agency is also requesting an increase to conduct surveys for the European grapevine moth (+$2.5 million), a significant pest of grapes. Finally, APHIS is requesting funding for Asian longhorned beetle eradication efforts in Massachusetts (+$16.57 million), the largest known outbreak of the pest in the United States.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1600–0–1–3522010 actualCR2012 est.

Food Safety and Inspection Service Food Safety and Inspection ServiceFor necessary expenses to carry out services authorized by the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act, including not to exceed $50,000 for representation allowances and for expenses pursuant to section 8 of the Act approved August 3, 1956 (7 U.S.C. 1766), $1,036,900,000$1,011,393,000; and in addition, $1,000,000 may be credited to this account from fees collected for the cost of laboratory accreditation as authorized by section 1327 of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 138f): Provided, That funds provided for the Public Health Data Communication Infrastructure system shall remain available until expended: Provided further, That this appropriation shall be available pursuant to law (7 U.S.C. 2250) for the alteration and repair of buildings and improvements, but the cost of altering any one building during the fiscal year shall not exceed 10 percent of the current replacement value of the building. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The primary objective of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is to ensure that meat, poultry, and egg products are wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged, as required by the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act. In carrying out this mission, FSIS oversight responsibility covers a significant percentage of American spending on food. Providing adequate resources for Federal food safety agencies is a priority of the Administration, and the 2012 Budget proposes a $7 million decrease from the 2011 proposed funding level for inspection of meat, poultry, and egg products. The proposed budget for 2012 contains increases for additional staffing costs associated with implementation of the Public Health Information System (PHIS), increased regulatory sampling, an additional baseline study to determine prevalence of pathogens, upgrades to the agency's information system infrastructure, and enhancement of the public health epidemiology program. The decreases for 2012 include reductions in shipping costs, the Food Emergency Response Network, and homeland security laboratory expenses. There are also decreases due to streamlining of agency operations for better efficiency, improvements in the laboratory sampling process, enhanced broadband efficiencies, and a reduction in funding for the catfish inspection program. In addition, legislation will be submitted for two user fees. The first is a performance-based user fee, which will be charged to plants that have sample failures or require additional inspection activities due to a pattern of regulatory non-compliance. The second one is a basic inspection user fee that would recover a part of the cost of providing basic inspections at covered establishments and plants, as determined by the Secretary.FEDERALLY FUNDED INSPECTION ACTIVITIESFEDERALLY FUNDED INSPECTION ACTIVITIES2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration salaries and expensesFor necessary expenses of the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, $44,192,000: Provided, That this appropriation shall be available pursuant to law (7 U.S.C. 2250) for the alteration and repair of buildings and improvements, but the cost of altering any one building during the fiscal year shall not exceed 10 percent of the current replacement value of the building. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration's (GIPSA) Grain Regulatory Program promotes and enforces the accurate and uniform application of the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA) and applicable provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. GIPSA identifies, evaluates, and implements new or improved techniques for measuring grain quality. GIPSA also establishes and updates testing and grading standards to facilitate the marketing of U.S. grain, oilseeds, and related products. GIPSA briefs foreign buyers, assesses foreign inspection and weighing techniques, and responds to foreign quality and quantity complaints. An advisory committee consisting of members from the grain industry exists to advise the Agency regarding efficient and economical implementation of the USGSA. The Grain Quality Improvement Act of 1986 was enacted on November 10, 1986, to improve the quality of U.S. grain by prohibiting the introduction and reintroduction of dockage and foreign material to grain. GIPSA's Packers and Stockyards Program (P&SP) 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, P&SP 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. P&SP's work protects consumers and members of the livestock, meat, and poultry industries. P&SP 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. P&SP 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 GIPSA regulatory inspections. All activities are carried out by a cadre of specialists including economists, lawyers, accountants, and agricultural marketing professionals.MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORSGrain Regulatory Program2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Agricultural Marketing Service 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 a greater number of new processed commodities are developed, and as the agricultural market structure undergoes extensive changes. Marketing changes include increased concentration in food retailing, direct buying, decentralization of processing, growth of interregional competition, vertical integration, and contract farming.The individual Marketing Services activities include:The market news program provides the agricultural community with information pertaining to the movement of agricultural products. This nationwide service provides daily reports on the supply, demand, and price of over 700 commodities on domestic and foreign markets.Inspection, grading and standardizationNationally 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.Quarterly inspection of egg handlers and hatcheries is conducted to ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit for human consumption.MARKET NEWS PROGRAM2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act Fund License fees are deposited in this special fund and are used to meet the costs of administering the Perishable Agricultural Commodities and the Produce Agency Acts (7 U.S.C. 491–497, 499a-499s).The Acts are intended to ensure equitable treatment to farmers and others in the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. Commission merchants, dealers, and brokers handling these products in interstate and foreign commerce are licensed. Complaints of violations are investigated and violations dealt with by (a) informal agreements between the two parties, (b) formal decisions involving payment of reparation awards, and/or (c) suspension or revocation of license and/or publication of the facts.The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act requires traders to have trust assets on hand to meet their obligations to fruit and vegetable suppliers. To preserve their trust and establish their rights ahead of other creditors, unpaid suppliers file notice with both the Department and their debtors that payment is due. The Act provides permanent authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license and reparation complaint filing fees.PERISHABLE AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES ACT ACTIVITIES2010 actual2011est.2012 est.

Funds for Strengthening Markets, Income, and Supply (section 32) funds for strengthening markets, income, and supply (section 32)(including transfers of funds)Funds available under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c), shall be used only for commodity program expenses as authorized therein, and other related operating expenses, except for: (1) transfers to the Department of Commerce as authorized by the Fish and Wildlife Act of August 8, 1956; (2) transfers otherwise provided in this Act; and (3) not more than $20,283,000 $20,056,000 for formulation and administration of marketing agreements and orders pursuant to the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 and the Agricultural Act of 1961. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Agriculture Appropriations Act of 1935 established the Section 32 program (7 U.S.C. 612c) which provides that 30 percent of U.S. Customs receipts for each calendar year are transferred to this account within the Department of Agriculture. 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. 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 appropriation.

Expenses and Refunds, Inspection and Grading of Farm Products Expenses and refunds, inspection and grading of farm productsThe 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.WORKLOAD INDICATORS2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Milk Market Orders Assessment Fund The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended under certain conditions to issue Federal milk marketing orders establishing minimum prices which handlers are required to pay for milk purchased from producers. There are currently 10 Federally-sanctioned milk market orders in operation. Market administrators are appointed by the Secretary and are responsible for carrying out the terms of specific marketing orders. Their operating expenses, partly financed by assessments on regulated handlers and partly by deductions from producers, are reported to the Agricultural Marketing Service. The majority of these funds are collected and deposited in checking and savings accounts in local banks, and disbursed directly by the market administrator. A portion of the funds collected are invested in securities such as certificates of deposit. Expenses of local offices are met from an administrative fund and a marketing service fund, which are prescribed in each order. The administrative fund is derived from prorated handler assessments. The marketing service fund of the individual order disseminates market information to producers who are not members of a qualified cooperative. It also provides for the verification of the weights, sampling, and testing of milk from these producers. The cost of these services is borne by such producers.The maximum rates for administrative assessment and for marketing services are set forth in each order and adjustments below these rates are made from time to time upon recommendations by the market administrator and upon approval of the Agricultural Marketing Service to provide reserves at about a six month operating level. Upon termination of any order, the statute provides for distributing the proceeds from net assets pro rata to contributing handlers or producers, as the case may be.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–8412–0–8–3512010 actualCR2012 est.

CORPORATIONSThe following corporations and agencies are hereby authorized to make expenditures, within the limits of funds and borrowing authority available to each such corporation or agency and in accord with law, and to make contracts and commitments without regard to fiscal year limitations as provided by section 104 of the Government Corporation Control Act as may be necessary in carrying out the programs set forth in the budget for the current fiscal year for such corporation or agency, except as hereinafter provided. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. Federal Crop Insurance User Fee Account Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Fund Federal Crop Insurance Corporation FundFor payments as authorized by section 516 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1516), such sums as may be necessary, to remain available until expended. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is a wholly owned government corporation created February 16, 1938 (7 U.S.C. 1501.) The program was amended by Public Law (P.L.) 96–365, dated September 26, 1980, to provide for nationwide expansion of a comprehensive crop insurance plan. The crop insurance program includes products involving yield and revenue insurance, pasture, rangeland and forage, livestock, and other educational and risk mitigation initiatives/tools to manage risk. FCIC is administered by the Risk Management Agency (RMA), and provides economic stability to agriculture through a secure system of crop insurance. FCIC provides to farmers a risk management program that protects against agricultural production losses due to unavoidable causes such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, wind, hurricane, tornado, lightning, and insects. In addition to these causes, revenue insurance programs are available under which producers of certain crops are protected against loss of revenue stemming from low prices, poor yields, or a combination of both. Federal crop insurance is available to producers through private insurance companies that market and service policies and also share in the risk. Thus, the program delivery is a joint effort between the Federal government and the private insurance industry. There were over 1.1 million policies written in crop year 2010 with over $7.5 billion in premiums and indemnities projected at about $3.4 billion. Crop insurance is available for more than 350 different commodities in over 3,141 counties covering all 50 states, and Puerto Rico. RMA continues to pursue initiatives to make higher levels of crop insurance protection more affordable and useful to producers and improve program integrity.Commercial insurance companies deliver crop insurance. For producers who obtain Catastrophic Crop Insurance (CAT), 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 this type of coverage is an annual administrative fee of $300 per crop per county. For 2012 the Budget reflects a legislative proposal that would make the amount charged for the (CAT) coverage on crop insurance policies more closely reflect the experience of participants at this type and level of coverage. This change is expected to result in a savings of $1.77B over 10 years. Because the premium for Catastrophic Crop Insurance is fully subsidized for the farmer, changing what we charge for the premium will effect only the payments to the Crop Insurance Companies. Additional coverage is available to producers and is commonly referred to as "buy-up" coverage. Policyholders can elect to be paid up to 100 percent of the market price established by FCIC for each unit of production their actual yield is less than the individual yield guarantee. Premium rates for additional coverage depend on the level of protection selected and vary from crop to crop and county to county. Producers are assessed a fee of $30 per crop, per county, in addition to a share of the premium. The additional levels of insurance coverage are more attractive to farmers due to availability of optional units, other policy provisions not available with CAT coverage, and the ability to obtain a level of protection that permits them to use crop insurance as loan collateral and to achieve greater financial security. Revenue protection for specified products is provided by extending traditional multi-peril crop insurance protection, based on actual production history, to include price variability based on futures market prices. Revenue insurance provides a dollar amount of coverage, thereby insuring against losses due to low yields, low prices, or a combination of the two. In FY 2010, Combined Policy (Combo) Regulations and Provisions were amended. FCIC published a Final Rule in the Federal Register to amend the Common Crop Insurance Regulations, Basic Provisions, Small Grains Crop Insurance Provisions, Cotton Crop Insurance Provisions, Coarse Grains Crop Insurance Provisions, Malting Barley Crop Insurance Provisions, Rice Crop Insurance Provisions, and Canola and Rapeseed Crop Insurance Provisions to provide both revenue protection and yield protection. The final rule was published in time to be implemented for the 2011 crop year. The amended provisions will replace the Crop Revenue Coverage (CRC), Income Protection (IP), Indexed Income Protection (IIP), and the Revenue Assurance (RA) plans of insurance. Now 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. This combined policy reduces the amount of information producers must read to determine the best risk management tool for their operation and to improve the prevented planting and other provisions to better meet the needs of insured producers. Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA) Negotiations were formally completed on July 12, 2010, with the signing of the 2011 SRA by all insurance providers that had been approved for the 2010 reinsurance year. During the negotiations, RMA worked with recommendations from the insurance industry, analyzed various Office of General Counsel (OGC) and Office of Inspector General (OIG) reports, and briefed Congress. SRA negotiations were an iterative process of preparing draft documents, holding explanatory meetings, establishing comment periods, analyzing proposed revisions, and revising documents. The resulting SRA is projected by USDA to save the government $6 billion over the next 10 years. The Administration applied $4 billion of the savings for deficit reduction and the remaining $2 billion was used to expand and improve select conservation and crop insurance programs.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Farm Service Agency (FSA) was established October 3, 1994, pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, P.L. 103–354. The Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 was amended on April 4, 1996, by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act), P.L. 104–127. The FSA administers a variety of activities, such as farm income support programs through various loans and payments; the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); the Emergency Conservation Program; the Hazardous Waste Management Program; the Commodity Operation Programs including the warehouse examination function; farm ownership, farm operating, emergency disaster, and other loan programs; and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), which provides crop loss protection for growers of many crops for which crop insurance is not available. FSA also assists in the administration of several conservation cost-share programs financed by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), including the Grasslands Reserve Program (GRP). In addition, FSA currently provides certain administrative support services to the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and to the Risk Management Agency (RMA). This consolidated administrative expenses account includes funds to cover expenses of programs administered by, and functions assigned to, 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.USDA's FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Rural Development offices act as separate franchises, with offices often located adjacent to each other. Prior efforts to improve the efficiency of USDA's county-based offices have resulted in significant co-location, and introduction of new information technology to simplify customer transactions. These programs provide an economic safety net through farm income support to eligible producers, cooperatives, and associations to help improve the economic stability and viability of the agricultural sector and to ensure the production of an adequate and reasonably priced supply of food and fiber. Objectives of the Agency include providing direct and counter-cyclical payments, providing marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments enabling recipients to continue farming operations without marketing their product immediately after harvest, and providing a financial assistance safety net to eligible producers when natural disasters result in a catastrophic loss of production or prevent planting of noninsured crops, and timely approval of crop prices, average yields, and payment factors for the NAP.Farm program activities include the following functions dealing with the administration of programs carried out through the farmer committee system of the FSA: (a) developing program regulations and procedures; (b) collecting and compiling basic data for individual farms; (c) establishing individual farm allotments for farm planting history; (d) notifying producers of established allotments and farm planting histories; (e) conducting referendums and certifying results; (f) accepting farmer certifications and checking compliance for specific purposes; (g) processing commodity loan documents and issuing checks; (h) processing direct and counter-cyclical payments and issuing checks; (i) certifying payment eligibility and monitoring payment limitations; and (j) processing farm storage facility loans and issuing checks.Conservation and environmentThese 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.This activity includes: (a) overall management of CCC-owned commodities; (b) purchasing commodities; (c) donating commodities; (d) selling commodities; (e) accounting for loans and commodities; and (f) commercial warehouse activities, which include improving the effectiveness and efficiency of FSA's commodity acquisition, procurement, storage, and distribution activities to support domestic and international food assistance programs and administering the U.S. Warehouse Act (USWA). FSA provides for the examination of warehouses licensed under the USWA and non-licensed warehouses storing CCC-owned or pledged commodities. Examiners perform periodic examinations of the facilities and the warehouse records to ensure protection of depositors against potential losses of the stored commodities and to ensure compliance with the USWA and any CCC storage agreements.Farm loans (reimbursable)Provides for administering the direct and guaranteed loan programs covered under the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund (ACIF). Objectives of the Agency include improving the economic viability of farmers and ranchers, reducing losses in direct loan programs, responding to loan making and servicing requests, and maximizing financial and technical assistance to under-served groups. Activities include reviewing applications, servicing the loan portfolio, and providing technical assistance and guidance to borrowers. Funding for farm loan administrative expenses is transferred to this consolidated account from the ACIF. Appropriations representing subsidy amounts necessary to support the individual program loan levels under Federal Credit Reform are made to the ACIF account.Other reimbursable activitiesFSA collects a fee or is reimbursed for performing a variety of services for other Federal agencies, CCC, industry, and others, including certain administrative support services for the Risk Management Agency and the Foreign Agricultural Service, and for county office services provided to Federal and non-Federal entities, including a variety of services to producers. Civil Rights.—Within the 2012 level, this account requests $20 million for administrative expenses for settling existing claims of discrimination. Separately, the account also requests $40 million, to be made available contingent upon enactment of authorizing legislation, to settle written claims filed under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act from July 1, 1997 to October 31, 2009.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–0600–0–1–3512010 actualCR2012 est.

state mediation grantsFor grants pursuant to section 502(b) of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, as amended (7 U.S.C. 5101–5106), $4,369,000. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.This grant program is authorized by Title V of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987, P.L. 100–233, as amended. Originally designed to address agricultural credit disputes, the program was expanded by the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (P.L. 103–354) to include other agricultural issues such as wetland determinations, conservation compliance, rural water loan programs, grazing on National Forest System lands, and pesticide use. Grants are made to States whose agricultural mediation programs have been certified by the Farm Service Agency. A grant will not exceed 70 percent of the total fiscal year funds that a qualifying State requires to operate and administer its agricultural mediation program. In no case will the total amount of a grant exceed $500,000 annually. Current authority for the program under P.L. 111–233 expires September 10, 2015.GRANT OBLIGATIONS2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Discrimination Claims Settlement 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1144–0–1–3512010 actualCR2012 est.

USDA Supplemental Assistance On May 25, 2007, the President signed into law the "U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007" (2007 Act), P.L. 110–28. The 2007 Act provided $2.8 billion in agricultural disaster aid for America's farmers and ranchers. Specifically, the 2007 Act provides funds for a Crop Disaster Program, Livestock Compensation Program, Livestock Indemnity Program, and Dairy Disaster Assistance Program. The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) published regulations in the Federal Register to implement the programs. In addition, FSA designed and developed software for sign-up and payment processes. The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 110–161, provided an additional $602 million under Sec. 743, which extended the period of eligibility for disaster assistance from February 28, 2007 to December 31, 2007. Outlays were first made in 2008 and continued into 2009 and 2010.

This account also includes three other programs in 2010 authorized by the 2010 USDA Appropriations Act, P.L. 111–80. Section 748(a) appropriated $290 million for loss assistance payments to eligible dairy producers. The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) published regulations in the Federal Register to implement the program. Eligible producers received a one-time direct payment based on the amount of milk both produced and commercially marketed by their operation during the months of February through July 2009. Payments to eligible Dairy Economic Loss Assistance Payment (DELAP) program producers were issued in three payment phases. Phase I payments were issued in mid-December 2009 to eligible dairy producers with production records from previous participation in dairy programs administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Dairy producers who did not have production records at the FSA county office but submitted a request for DELAP benefits before the application deadline of Jan. 19, 2010, were issued payments in Phase II beginning June 18, 2010. DELAP Phase III will be disbursed to eligible dairy producers that received DELAP benefits under Phase I or Phase II. Of the $290 million budgeted for DELAP, a total of $273 million was dispersed to eligible dairy producers under DELAP Phase I and Phase II in fiscal year 2010. The remaining $17 million minus a reserve established by FSA will be dispersed during Phase III in fiscal year 2011. In addition, Section 741 of P.L. 111–80 appropriated $3 million for a Durum Wheat Quality Program (DWQP) authorized by Section 1613 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, P.L. 110–246. DWQP signup period was from July 21, 2010, through September 15, 2010. In the first quarter of FY 2011, FSA disbursed $2,778,265 of the $2,849,958 of 2010 DWQP funding allotted to approximately 1,020 eligible durum wheat producers in 5 States (Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota). FSA held $150,042 of DWQP in reserve. Section 741 also appropriated $2.6 million for a Geographically Disadvantaged Farmers and Ranchers Program authorized by Section 1621 of P.L. 110–246. Program signup began on August 3, 2010, and ended on September 10, 2010. FSA received applications from 1,545 applicants. Notices to collect data are in the process of being cleared, while payment software is being tested and finalized. Following a determination of whether a payment factor should be applied to payments, it is expected that payments will be issued during the second quarter of FY 2011.

Aquaculture Assistance, Recovery Act The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorized $50 million of Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) funds for grants to States that agree to provide assistance to eligible aquaculture producers for losses associated with high feed input costs during the 2008 calendar year. Eligible applicants were limited to State Departments of Agriculture or similar state government entities in each State. Grants to States were made on a pro rata basis based on the amount of aquaculture feed used in each State during the 2007 calendar year, as determined by CCC.

Emergency Conservation 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. For 2010, no Supplemental Appropriations for ECP were provided, however, there was $53.305 million in total allocations. Under the 2010 program, cost-sharing and technical assistance were provided in 41 States to treat farmlands damaged by drought, floods, ice storms, tornadoes, wildfires and other natural disasters. Outlays to States in 2010 totaled 76,847,992.

Grassroots Source Water Protection Program The Grassroots Source Water Protection Program (GSWPP) is a joint project by USDA's Farm Service Agency and the nonprofit National Rural Water Association. It is designed to help prevent source water pollution in States through voluntary practices installed by producers at the local level. GSWPP uses onsite technical assistance capabilities of each State rural water association that operates a wellhead or groundwater protection program in the State. State rural water associations can deliver assistance in developing source water protection plans within priority watersheds for the common goal of preventing the contamination of drinking water supplies. The 2008 Farm Bill authorizes this program to continue through 2012. The 2012 Budget proposes no funding for this program.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–3304–0–1–3022010 actualCR2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.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 2012 Budget includes $2,500,000 for the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Individual Development Accounts pilot program, and does not provide funding for guaranteed subsidized farm operating loans or for direct conservation loans.As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.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 2010, $159,000 was paid to producers who filed claims under the program and the 2012 Budget requests such sums as may be necessary, which are estimated to be $100,000 for this program.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) was created to: stabilize, support, and protect farm income and prices; help maintain balanced and adequate supplies of agricultural commodities, their products, foods, feeds, and fibers; and help in their orderly distribution.The Corporation's capital stock of $100 million is held by the U.S. Treasury. Under present law, up to $30 billion may be borrowed from the U.S. Treasury to finance operations. Current, indefinite appropriation authority is requested to cover all net realized losses. Appropriations to the Corporation for net realized losses have no effect on budget authority, as they are used to repay debt directly with the Treasury. The following general assumptions form the basis for the Corporation's 2011 and 2012 budget estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2011 and 2012 from the present level; (b) 2011 crop production will increase from 2010 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2012 are expected to be higher than 2011 levels; and (d) yields for the 2011 crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends. It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the year ending September 30, 2012, since the projections are subject to complex and unpredictable factors such as weather, other factors which affect the volume of production of crops not yet planted, feed, food, and energy needs here and overseas, and available dollar exchange.Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations.USDA has incorporated stochastic price and production variability into its 10-year budget baseline process starting with the 2007 President's Budget. For the 2010–2021 crops, Commodity Credit Corporation outlay projections for counter-cyclical payments, Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) payments, marketing loan benefits, and Milk Income Loss Contract payments are based on price probability distributions and flexibilities generated by the Economic Research Service's Food and Agricultural Policy Simulation model. This approach was used for feed grains (corn, barley, sorghum, oats), wheat, rice, upland cotton, soybeans, sugar, and dairy.2012 ESTIMATE [In millions of dollars]ProgramGross obligationsNet outlaysNet realized loss for year

PROGRAMS OF THE CORPORATION Price support, marketing assistance loans, and related stabilization programsThe Corporation conducts programs to support farm income and prices and stabilize the market for agricultural commodities. Price support is provided to producers of agricultural commodities through loans, purchases, payments, and other means. This is done mainly under the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act, as amended, the Agricultural Act of 1949 (1949 Act), as amended, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill), and the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill).Price support is mandatory for sugar and dairy products. Marketing assistance loans are mandatory for wheat, feed grains, oilseeds, upland cotton, peanuts, rice, and pulse crops. Loans are also required to be made for sugar, honey, wool, mohair, and extra long staple cotton.One method of providing support is loans to and purchases from producers. With limited exceptions, loans made on commodities are nonrecourse. The commodities serve as collateral for the loan and on maturity the producer may deliver or forfeit such collateral to satisfy the loan obligation without further payment. Direct purchases may be made from processors as well as producers, depending on the commodity involved. Also, special purchases are made under various laws for the removal of surpluses; for example, the Act of August 19, 1958, as amended, and section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended. Direct Payments and Counter-Cyclical PaymentsThe 2002 Farm Bill established direct payments and counter-cyclical payments for May 2002 through 2007. The payments were extended through the 2012 crop year by the 2008 Farm Bill. The eligible commodities for both direct payments and counter-cyclical payments are wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, rice, soybeans, other oilseeds, and peanuts. The 2008 Farm Bill adds the following as eligible commodities: long grain and medium grain rice and pulse crops, expanded to include large chickpeas. Direct Payments are payments to producers for which payment yields and base acres are established. The commodity payment amount is calculated as follows: Payment Amount = specified rate x payment acres x payment yield. At the option of the producer, the producer can choose to receive advance payments (up to 22 percent) during the producer's selected month. The month selected may be any month during the period beginning on December 1 of the calendar year before the calendar year in which the crop of the covered commodity is harvested through the month within which the direct payment would otherwise be made. The direct payment rates established in the 2008 Farm Bill are the same as those in the 2002 Farm Bill; however, payment acres decrease from 85 percent to 83.3 percent of base acres for 2009–2011 crops, and no advance payments are available for the 2012 and subsequent crops.Counter-Cyclical Payments are payments to producers for which payment yields and base acres are established for eligible commodities if it is determined that the effective commodity price is less than the target commodity price. Counter-cyclical payments will be made for the crop as soon as practicable after the end of the 12-month marketing year for the eligible commodity. If, before the end of the 12-month marketing year it is determined that counter-cyclical payments will be required for the eligible commodity, producers will be provided the option to receive partial payment of the projected counter-cyclical payment. Partial counter-cyclical payments are limited to 40 percent of the projected rate, are available for the 2008–2010 crops only, and are payable after completion of the first 180 days of the marketing year.Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) PaymentsThe 2008 Farm Bill adds the ACRE program for the 2009–2012 crop years. Producers who elect to enroll a farm in ACRE are eligible for ACRE payments in lieu of counter-cyclical payments on the farm and in exchange for a 20 percent reduction in direct payments on the farm and a 30 percent reduction in the marketing assistance loan rates for all commodities produced on the farm except that the loan rate for seed cotton loans will not be so reduced. The election to enroll a farm in ACRE may be made for any of the crop years 2009–2012, but once the election is made, it is irrevocable through the 2012 crop.Marketing assistance loansThe 2002 Farm Bill authorized producers of eligible crops to receive non-recourse marketing assistance loans from the government for any quantity of a loan commodity produced on the farm by pledging their production as loan collateral. This loan shall have a term of 9 months beginning on the first day of the first month after the month in which the loan is made. The loan cannot be extended. As a condition of the receipt of a marketing assistance loan, the producer shall comply with applicable conservation requirements under subtitle B of title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 and applicable wetland protection requirements under subtitle C of title XII of the Act during the term of the loan. Producers of eligible commodities can repay a marketing assistance loan at a rate that is the lesser of (1) the loan rate established for the commodity plus interest; or (2) a rate that the Secretary determines. Special rules apply to upland cotton, rice, and extra long staple cotton. Crops eligible for marketing assistance loans include wheat, corn, barley, oats, grain sorghum, rice, upland cotton, soybeans, extra long staple cotton, other oilseeds, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, honey, wool, and mohair. The 2008 Farm Bill establishes specific loan rates for long grain and medium grain rice and restricts loan rate adjustments to grade and quality factors. Also, large chickpeas are added as a new marketing assistance loan commodity with a higher loan rate than small chickpeas.Marketing loss assistance for asparagus producersThe 2008 Farm Bill authorizes the use of $15 million to make payments to 2007 crop asparagus producers. Of the total, $7.5 million will be available to fresh market asparagus producers and $7.5 million will be available to frozen market asparagus producers.Peanut price support programUnder the 2008 Farm Bill, peanuts qualify for ACRE or direct payments, counter-cyclical payments, marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments for the 2009 through 2012 crops.The 2002 Farm Bill terminated the marketing quota programs and repealed price support programs. The prior quota programs stayed in effect for the 2001 crop only, with quota buyout compensation payments being made during 2002 through 2006. The prior price support programs remained in effect for the 2002 crop only, notwithstanding any other provision of law or crop insurance policy. The 2002 Farm Bill established marketing assistance loans for the 2002 through 2007 crops, with the loan rate for peanuts of $355 per ton. The 2008 Farm Bill continues this rate. The payment rate shall be the amount by which the established loan rate exceeds the rate at which a loan may be repaid. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, P.L. 108–357, eliminated the program effective with the 2005 crop. In return for losing the program, growers and quota holders will receive a buyout. The owners of quota are being paid $7 per pound for the quota they hold. The actual producers are being paid $3 per pound for the quota they produced. The legislation eliminates all geographic and poundage restrictions on tobacco production as well as price support. The buyout is funded by assessments on the tobacco product manufacturers and importers. The program will cost $10.14 billion, and the growers and quota holders will be paid over a 10-year period.Sugar qualifies for price support. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the national average sugar loan rates to cover through the 2007 crops at 18 cents per pound for raw cane sugar and 22.9 cents per pound for refined beet sugar. The 2008 Farm Bill provides for escalating rates through crop year 2012. For raw cane sugar, the rate increases to 18.25 cents per pound for 2009, 18.5 cents per pound for 2010 and 18.75 cents per pound for 2011–2012. For refined beet sugar, the rates for crop year 2009–2012 are the raw cane sugar rate times 1.285. Loans are available to processors of domestically grown sugarcane and sugar beets for a term of nine months that does not begin or extend beyond the end/beginning of a fiscal year. The non-recourse loans extend through the 2007 crop for processors of domestically produced sugar beets and sugarcane including for in-process sugar. Loans for in-process sugar have a loan rate of 80 percent of the loan rate for raw cane sugar or refined beet sugar (based on the source material used). If forfeitures occur, the processor shall convert the in-process into final product at no cost to the CCC. Upon transfer, the processor will receive payment based on the loan rate less 80 percent of raw cane or refined beet sugar rate times the quantity of sugar transferred. The loan program will continue through the 2012 crop. The 2002 Farm Bill did not resume the sugar marketing assessment collections but authorized marketing allotments. The 2002 Act provided assistance for sugar donations in the amount of 10,000 tons to compensate sugar producers who suffer losses incurred beyond existing CCC administered programs. This assistance was a one-time occurrence.The 2008 Farm Bill extends the marketing allotment provisions of the 2002 Act, except they are now permanent and cannot be set at a level less than 85 percent of estimated sugar deliveries for human consumption. The 2008 Farm Bill introduces the Feedstock Flexibility Program, which requires the diversion of sugar from food use to ethanol producers, if needed, to keep sugar prices above levels at which sugar processors might otherwise forfeit sugar under loan to the CCC. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the Dairy Price Support Program from June 1, 2002 through December 31, 2007 at a rate of $9.90 per hundredweight for milk containing 3.7 percent butterfat. The support program is carried out through the purchase of butter, nonfat dry milk, and cheese at prices that enable processors to pay dairy farmers, on average, the support price for milk. As under previous law, the Secretary may allocate the rate of price support between the purchase prices for nonfat dry milk and butter in a manner that minimizes CCC expenditures or other objectives, as the Secretary considers appropriate. Cash CCC inventory sales (with some exceptions) shall be at any price that the Secretary determines will maximize CCC returns. The 2002 Farm Bill repealed all legislative authority for the Dairy Recourse Loan Program but established a new Milk Income Loss Contract Program (MILC), under which the Secretary may contract with eligible producers to make monthly payments when milk prices fall below specified levels. The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (P.L. 110–28) extended the MILC program through September 2007. The 2008 Farm Bill replaces the price support program of the 2002 Farm Bill with the Dairy Product Price Support Program, which is effective for calendar years 2008–2012. It requires the Secretary to support the price of cheddar cheese, butter and nonfat dry milk through purchases of such products at prices not less than $1.13 per pound for cheddar cheese in blocks, not less than $1.10 per pound for cheddar cheese in barrels, not less than $1.05 per pound for butter, and not less than $0.80 per pound for nonfat dry milk. Purchase prices for milk products may be adjusted lower based on preset levels of product net removals. The 2008 Farm Bill extends the MILC program through September 30, 2012. The payment calculation percentage is raised from 34 percent to 45 percent and the payment quantity is raised from 2,400,000 to 2,985,000 million pounds per fiscal year effective October 1, 2008 through August 31, 2012. A feed cost adjuster is added that raises the $16.94 base price when the national average ration cost exceeds $7.35 per hundredweight for a given month.Section 748(a) of the fiscal year 2010 USDA Appropriations Act, P.L. 111–80, appropriated $60 million for the purchase of cheese and cheese products, which the Commodity Credit Corporation is procuring. In general, the 2002 Farm Bill revised the Food Security Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 1308) for payment limitations. The total amount of direct payments made to a person during any crop year for one or more covered commodities may not exceed $40,000. The 2008 Farm Bill rescinds the three entity rule for payment limitation purposes for the 2009–2012 crops. Instead, payments are tracked as received directly or indirectly by an individual person or legal entity (otherwise termed direct attribution). Except for participants who elect to receive ACRE payments, the direct payment limitation remains at $40,000 for covered commodities in the 2008 Farm Bill, with a separate $40,000 payment limitation for peanut direct payments. The payment limitation on counter-cyclical payments made to a person during any crop year for one or more covered commodities continues at $65,000 in the 2008 Farm Bill, except for participants who elect to receive ACRE payments. For counter-cyclical payments, there is a separate $65,000 payment limitation for peanut counter-cyclical payments. For producers that receive ACRE payments, the payment limit is $65,000 plus the amount their direct payments are reduced due to their participation in ACRE. The total amount of gains and payments that a person may receive during any crop year under marketing assistance loan and loan deficiency payment provisions may not exceed $75,000 for crop years 2002–2008. The 2008 Farm Bill rescinds the payment limitation for both marketing loan gains and loan deficiency payments beginning with the 2009 crop. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an individual or entity shall not be eligible to receive any benefit described above if the average adjusted annual gross income of the individual or entity exceeds $2,500,000, unless not less than 75 percent of the average adjusted gross income of the individual or entity is derived from farming, ranching, or forestry operations, as determined by the Secretary. The 2008 Farm Bill extends these provisions through the 2008 crop year, but makes commodity program payments subject to farm and nonfarm adjusted gross income (AGI) limits for 2009–2012 crop years. The AGI attributable to farming activities is adjusted farm gross income (AFGI), and the AGI attributable to other activities is adjusted nonfarm gross income (ANGI). If AFGI exceeds $750,000, the person or entity is ineligible to receive commodity program payments, and if ANGI exceeds $500,000, the person or entity is ineligible to receive payments. Commodity program payments include direct, counter-cyclical, ACRE, loan deficiency, marketing loan gain, NAP, supplemental crop disaster assistance, MILC, and trade adjustment assistance payments.The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, P.L. 110–28, appropriated $2.8 billion in agricultural disaster aid for America's farmers and ranchers. The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 110–161, provided an additional $602 million under Sec. 743, which extends the period of loss eligibility for disaster assistance from February 28, 2007 to December 31, 2007. Unlike previous disaster supplemental Appropriations Acts, funding is through USDA Disaster Assistance rather than CCC. Noninsured Assistance ProgramThe Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 eliminated the area loss requirement for triggers and made other changes. It also included a provision that all types or varieties of a crop or commodity may be considered to be a single eligible crop for NAP assistance and provided additional funding in 2002 with annual increases through 2010. The 2008 Farm Bill amended the payment limitation provisions to conform with direct attribution of payments to a person of legal entity.Foreign Market Development and Food Assistance ProgramsDairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP)DEIP provides cash bonus payments to exporters to facilitate commercial sales of U.S. dairy products in overseas markets. Estimates of the quantity of dairy products to be exported under DEIP and associated expenditures were formulated within the maximum allowable expenditure and quantity levels specified in conjunction with provisions of the Uruguay Round Agreement. Consequently, current baseline projections assume that DEIP will not exceed $116.6 million annually during 2002–2012. Actual DEIP subsidies are further limited on a product-by-product basis under the Uruguay Round.Export Enhancement Program (EEP)The 2008 Farm Bill eliminated authority for the program.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 2008 Farm Bill continued the authority for the MAP program with funding of $200 million for 2008–2012. Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMD) and Quality Samples ProgramUnder the FMD program, cost-share assistance is provided to nonprofit commodity and agricultural trade associations to support overseas market development activities that are designed to remove long-term impediments to increased U.S. trade. The 2002 Farm Bill increased the available funds for this program to $34.5 million for 2002 through 2007 and the 2008 Farm Bill continues this funding level for 2008–2012. In addition, the budget proposes to increase discretionary funding for the program in fiscal year 2011 by $34.5 million as part of a broader government wide initiative to increase export promotion. 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.The 2008 Farm Bill authorizes the donation of surplus commodity inventory to domestic nutrition programs. The Corporation may also donate commodities under the authority of section 416(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949 to carry out programs of assistance in developing countries and friendly countries and pay costs associated with making the commodities available. Commodities that are acquired by CCC in the normal course of its domestic support operations will be available for donation. The Corporation may also use its funds to furnish commodities overseas under the authority of the Food for Progress Act of 1985; however, not more than $55 million of the funds of the Corporation (exclusive of the costs of commodities) may be used for each fiscal year.The Bill Emerson Humanitarian TrustThe 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 Title II of the Food for Peace Act funding for emergency needs is inadequate to meet those needs in any fiscal year. When a release from the Trust is authorized, the Trusts 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 2008 Farm Bill extended the authorization to replenish the BEHT through 2012. Conservation programs administered by the Farm Service Agency and the Natural Resources Conservation Service are funded through the Commodity Credit Corporation. These programs help farmers adopt and maintain conservation systems that protect water quality, reduce soil erosion, protect and enhance wildlife habitat and wetlands, conserve water, and sequester carbon. Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)Administered by FSA, the CRP is USDA's largest conservation/environmental program. The purpose of CRP is to cost-effectively assist farm owners and operators in conserving and improving soil, water, air, and wildlife resources by converting highly erodible and other environmentally sensitive acreage normally devoted to the production of agricultural commodities to a long-term resource-conserving cover. CRP participants enroll contracts for periods from 10 to 15 years in exchange for annual rental payments and cost-share and technical assistance for installing approved conservation practices. The CRP is authorized in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, on all highly erodible cropland, other environmentally sensitive cropland, and certain marginal pastureland meeting the eligibility criteria. In addition to cropland in areas adjacent to lakes and streams converted to buffers , and cropland that can serve as restored or constructed wetlands, eligible land may include cropland contributing to water quality problems, and other lands posing environmental threats. Also eligible for the CRP are water quality or wildlife habitat impaired areas that do not meet the highly erodible land (HEL) criteria, such as the Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, and Long Island Sound watershed regions.CRP was established by the 1985 Food Security Act and amended and extended under subsequent farm bills. Most recently, the 2008 Farm Bill (P.L. 110–246) re-authorized CRP through September 30, 2012; permits CRP to enroll up to 32 million acres at any one time beginning October 1, 2009; expanded Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP) eligibility; included provisions for funding a tree thinning cost-share program; and included a program transitioning expiring CRP lands from retiring producers to beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers.In addition to FWP, CRP also enrolls land through general signups, Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) signups, and non-CREP continuous signups. FWP operates on a continuous basis. Under general signup provisions, producers compete nationally during specified enrollment periods for acceptance based on an environmental benefits index. Under continuous signup provisions, producers enroll specified high-environmental value lands such as wetlands, riparian buffers, and various types of habitat at any time during the year without competition. No general sign-ups were held in fiscal years 2007, 2008, or 2009. A general signup was held in fiscal year 2010, in which 4.3 million acres were approved for acceptance. Under continuous signup, including CREP and FWP, a combined total of 4.6 million acres were under contract as of the end of fiscal year 2010. About 678,000 acres are projected to be enrolled under continuous signup in fiscal year 2012. 2010 ended with 31.4 million acres under contract. With contracts expiring on 4.4 million acres on September 30, 2010 and contracts beginning on 4.3 million acres from FY 2010's general signup and 200,000 acres of continuous signup, 2011 enrollment began with 31.5 million acres. Combined general and continuous signup is projected to remain at or near the 32 million-acre-cap throughout the baseline period. The budget includes a 3.95 million acre general signup in 2011 and a 6.0 million acre general signup in 2012. For those conservation programs administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), funding is transferred from CCC to NRCS's Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs account (see the NRCS section). Specifically, these programs include: the Environmental Quality Incentives Program; the Wetlands Reserve Program; the Wildlife Habitat Incentives program; the Farmland Protection Program; the Conservation Security Program; the Conservation Stewardship Program; the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Program; the Agriculture Water Enhancement Program; the Healthy Forest Reserve Program; and the Grassland Reserve Program. NRCS also receives funding from the CCC to carry out technical assistance for the Conservation Reserve Program and to carry out part of the Agricultural Management Assistance Program (see below).Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive ProgramThe 2008 Farm Bill authorizes this program to encourage farmers and ranchers to allow public access on their lands for wildlife dependent recreation. It provides up to $50 million of CCC funding through 2012 as grants to States or Tribes that have public access programs. Outlays are estimated at $33.3 million for fiscal year 2011 and $16.7 million for fiscal year 2012.Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP)The 2008 Farm Bill amends the 2002 Farm Bill to authorize this program to support the establishment and production of eligible crops for conversion to bioenergy in selected BCAP project areas; and to assist agricultural and forest land owners and operators with the collection, harvest, storage, and transportation of eligible material for use in a biomass conversion facility. BCAP is scheduled for full implementation in 2011, although payments for collection, harvest, and transportation were begun in 2009. The Budget proposes to cap the payments for the collection, harvest, storage and transportation at $70 million in 2012. This is estimated to save $62 million.Agricultural Management Assistance ProgramThe Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized CCC funding of $10 million for 2001 and subsequent years for the Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMAP). AMAP provides cost-share assistance to producers in states in which Federal Crop Insurance Program participation is historically low as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary delegated authority to implement this program to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency, and the Agricultural Marketing Service. The 2008 Farm Bill increased funding to $15 million for 2008–2012 and increased to 16 the number of States eligible to participate. Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve ProgramThe Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act of 2006, P.L. 109–148, as amended by P.L. 109–234 and P.L. 110–28, mandates that the Secretary shall carry out an emergency pilot program in States that the Secretary determines have suffered damage to merchantable timber in counties affected by hurricanes during the 2005 calendar year. The Act provided $404.1 million for this program, called the Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve Program (EFCRP). P.L. 109–234 increased funding for EFCRP by $100 million, to $504.1 million. P.L. 110–28 lifted a restriction limiting the program to calendar year 2006. EFCRP enrollment during calendar year 2006 was 180,175 acres. Signup ended on December 31, 2006 and resumed in August 2007. Since then an additional 111,700 acres have been enrolled . There were 291,873 acceptable acres as of November 30, 2010. These acres do not count against the 32 million acres allowed for CRP.

The Corporation carries out its functions through utilization of employees and facilities of other Government agencies. Administrative expenses are incurred by: the Farm Service Agency (FSA); the Foreign Agricultural Service; the Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Risk Management Agency; other agencies of the Department engaged in the Corporation's activities; and the Office of the Inspector General for audit functions. Additional expenses are incurred by FSA county offices for work related to programs of the Corporation, other FSA expenses offset by revenue, custodian, and agency expenses of the Federal Reserve banks and lending agencies, and miscellaneous costs. Expenses are incurred for acquisition, operation, maintenance, improvement, or disposition of existing property that the Corporation owns or in which it has an interest. These expenses are treated as program expenses. Such program expenses include inspection, classing, and grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or Federal- or State-licensed inspectors; and special services performed by Federal agencies within and outside this Department. Most of these general expenses, including storage and handling, transportation, inspection, classing and grading, and producer storage payments, are included in program costs. They are shown in the program and financing schedule in the entries entitled "Storage, transportation, and other obligations not included above.'' Section 161 of the 1996 Act amended Section 11 of the CCC Charter Act to limit the use of CCC funds for the transfer and allotment of funds to State and Federal agencies. The Section 11 cap of $56 million including FSA loan service fees remains at $56 million in 2010, 2011, and 2012. 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.FINANCINGThe 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.POSITION WITH RESPECT TO BORROWING AUTHORITY, END OF YEAR[In millions of dollars]Item2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.

Note.—Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other outstanding obligations not reflected on this table do not become charges against the statutory borrowing authority until they result in borrowings from the Treasury.Price support and other programs required by statute may result in the Corporation incurring obligations in excess of available funds and borrowing authority. Such obligations are liquidated from subsequent appropriations and other funds that may become available to the Corporation. Any increase in obligations in excess of available fund resources is reported as contract authority in the year involved; a decrease is reported as the application of appropriations and other funds to liquidate the authority.Under section 2 of Public Law 87–155 annual appropriations are authorized for each fiscal year to reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses incurred as of the close of each year.The special activities are financed as indicated in the program descriptions above. In addition to certain reimbursements from other agencies, appropriations are made for foreign assistance programs.The net realized losses of the Corporation have previously been reimbursed as follows: SUPPORT AND RELATED PROGRAMS[In millions of dollars]2010 actual

Subtitle B of the 2000 Act allows for the use of commodity certificates. In making in-kind payments, CCC may (a) "acquire and use commodities that have been pledged to the Commodity Credit Corporation as collateral for loans made by the Corporation;'' (b) "use other commodities owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation;'' and (c) "redeem negotiable marketing certificates for cash under terms and conditions established. Commodity certificates discourage producers from forfeiting commodities pledged as collateral for CCC commodity loans. Certificates are used to repay marketing assistance loans when the adjusted world price (for rice and upland cotton) or the posted county price (for wheat, feed grains, soybeans, wool, mohair, honey, peanuts, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, and designated minor oilseeds) is lower than the applicable loan rate. The 2008 Farm Bill amended the 1996 Farm Bill to terminate the use of commodity certificates at the end of the 2009 crop year.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility, the Budget includes three offsets. The proposals include programmatic changes that: 1. Reduce Direct Payment CapTo transition the dependence of large farms and wealthy landowners on direct payments made on the basis of historical base acres to revenue from other sources including emerging markets for environmental services, the President's Budget proposes a 25 percent reduction in the current cap on direct payments to individuals. The 2008 Farm Bill set a limitation of $40,000 in direct payments per producer participant in the Direct and Countercyclical program and $32,000 for those who participate in the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program. The proposed adjustment will reduce the limitations to $30,000 (or $24,000 for those in the ACRE option.) These payments are made regardless of market prices, losses, or whether the land is still producing crops. Direct payments are only a modest portion of the roughly $17 billion in direct Government support already provided to farm producers through various USDA programs including farm commodity and income support payments, crop insurance benefits, disaster payments, and Conservation Reserve Program rental payments. Estimated savings over 10-years $1.5 billion. 2. Tighten Payment Eligibility. The President wants to maintain a strong safety net for farm families and beginning farmers. The need for more fiscal responsibility necessitates reexamination of government payments to wealthy individuals who are better able to take advantage of new market opportunities. Therefore, the Budget also proposes a three- year phased reduction in farm program average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) eligibility limits from the current $500,000 of non-farm AGI to $250,000, and the farm AGI limit for eligibility for direct payments would be reduced from the current $750,000 set by the 2008 Farm Bill to $500,000 over a three- year period as well. These adjustments in current program limits would affect only a very small portion of the farm program participants without disturbing the foundation of the current safety net for productive family farmers. Estimated savings over 10-years $979 million. 3. Eliminate Cotton and Peanut Storage Credits. The Presidents Budget proposes to eliminate the requirement for the Government to pay the storage costs of cotton and peanuts that are put under loan with USDA. Cotton is the only commodity for which this assistance is regularly provided. Storage credits for cotton have been found to have a negative impact on the amount of cotton on the market. Because cotton storage is covered by the Government, producers may store their cotton for longer than necessary. Peanut storage credits are only provided if the crop is forfeited to the Government, therefore payments are rarely made and there is little need for storage credits. Estimated savings $1 million.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–4336–4–3–9992010 actualCR2012 est.

Commodity Credit Corporation Export Loans Program Account commodity credit corporation export (loans) credit guarantee program account(including transfers of funds)For administrative expenses to carry out the Commodity Credit Corporation's export guarantee program, GSM 102 and GSM 103, $6,820,000; to cover common overhead expenses as permitted by section 11 of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act and in conformity with the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, of which $6,465,000 shall be paid to the appropriation for "Foreign Agricultural Service, Salaries and Expenses'', and of which $355,000 shall be paid to the appropriation for "Farm Service Agency, Salaries and Expenses''. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.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 three years. Under this program, CCC does not provide financing, but guarantees payments due from foreign banks and buyers. Because payment is guaranteed, financial institutions in the United States can offer competitive credit terms to foreign banks, usually with interest rates based on the London 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 2012 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1336–0–1–3512010 actualCR2012 est.

Farm Storage Facility Loans Program Account Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) ProgramThe 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 1980's 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 Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 expanded the loan limits, term limits, and eligible commodities for which facilities can be financed by the program. The program now provides producers financing with seven, ten, or twelve-year repayment terms and low interest rates. The program gives producers greater marketing flexibility when farm storage is limited and/or transportation difficulties cause storage problems, allows farmers to benefit from new marketing and technological advances, and maximizes their returns through identity-preserved marketing. Sugar Storage Facility LoansThe 2002 Farm Bill, as amended by the 2008 Farm Bill, directs that the CCC establish a sugar storage facility loan program to provide financing for processors of domestically produced sugarcane and sugar beets to construct or upgrade storage and handling facilities for raw sugars and refined sugars. The loan term is a minimum of 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–3301–0–1–3512010 actualCR2012 est.

Agricultural Disaster Relief Fund The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill), P.L. 110–246, provides for Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance under Sec.12033 and 15101. This includes the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund, which is composed of amounts equivalent to 3.1 percent of the amounts received in the general fund of the U.S. Treasury during 2008–2011 attributable to the duties collected on articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The fund has authority to borrow and repayable advances that are such sums as may be necessary make up the funds budget authority. Advances to the fund must be repaid with interest to the general fund of the U.S. Treasury when the Secretary of the Treasury determines that funds are available in the trust fund. Obligations of $1,573,277,751 were incurred and total outlays were $1,358,616,041 in 2010, as shown in the table below. Unobligated balances carried over to 2010 of $1,530,625,668 and obligated repayable advances of $296,041,371 provided the funding for 2010 obligations. In 2010, the amount of customs receipts credited to the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund receipt account totaled $776,745,050. Available budget authority totaling $165,134,338 was carried forward into 2011 as an unobligated balance.Fiscal Year 2010 Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund Obligations and Outlays[In millions of dollars]PROGRAMSOBLIGATIONSOUTLAYS

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Through the Conservation Technical Assistance Program, NRCS develops conservation plans that include a variety of technologies and practices for private landowners, conservation districts, Tribes, and other organizations. Comprehensive, landscape-scale conservation planning helps managers reduce soil loss from erosion; address soil, water quality, water conservation, air quality, and agricultural waste management concerns; reduce potential damage caused by excess water and sedimentation or drought; enhance the quality of fish and wildlife habitat; improve the long-term sustainability of all lands, including cropland, forestland, grazing lands, coastal lands, and developed or developing lands; and facilitate changes in land use as needed for natural resource protection and sustainability. In addition, legislation will be submitted for a user fee that helps cover the costs of conservation planning services. MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2010 actualCR2012 est.

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 a key component to the vitality of the Nation's rural economies. Scientists and policy makers use soil survey information in studying climate change and evaluating the sustainability and environmental impacts 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. NRCS provides the scientific expertise to enable the NCSS to develop and maintain a uniform system for mapping and assessing soil resources. MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2010 actualCR2012 est.

Snow survey and water supply forecastingThe water supply forecasts are used by individuals, Tribes, organizations, and government for decisions relating to agricultural production, hydroelectric power generation, fish and wildlife management, municipal and industrial water supply, reservoir managements, urban development, flood control, recreation, and water quality management. Operation of plant materials centersThe selection, evaluation, and release of plant materials and field trials of new or adapted plant technology are made at 27 plant materials centers to determine suitability for erosion control, improved water quality and quantity, range and pasture management, biofuel and biomass production, air quality protection, wildlife management, and other environmental improvements, such as the effects of vegetative practices on climate change. Plant science technology is documented in fact sheets, technical notes, the Field Office Technical Guide, and transferred to the public on the Web. Work at plant materials centers is the foundation of vegetative recommendations for NRCS and many other Federal and State agencies.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1000–0–1–3022010 actualCR2012 est.

Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L.110–246), which amended Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985, reauthorized a number of USDA's conservation programs. 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 account funds the cost-share, monitoring, easement, financial assistance, and technical assistance costs necessary for delivering the following programs: Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)This program is authorized under Section 1237 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The authority provides for up to 3,041,200 acres to be enrolled in the program. The purpose of the WRP is to preserve, protect, and restore valuable wetlands. The 2012 Budget assumes $785 million for this program to enroll 271,158 acres in 2012, and proposes to permanently reduce the program by 158,895 acres. Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)This program is authorized under section 1240 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The purpose of the program is to promote agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible national goals. The 2012 Budget proposes $1.408 billion for this program and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2012. Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP)This program is authorized by Section 1240I of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Under AWEP, NRCS enters into partnership agreements with eligible entities to promote ground and surface water conservation or improve water quality on agricultural lands. The 2012 Budget proposes $60 million for this program. The program is a successor to the Ground and Surface Water Program, which was not reauthorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)This program is authorized by Section 1238D of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. 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 2012 Budget proposes $788 million for this program to enroll 12,004,796 acres and proposes to permanently reduce the program by 764,204 acres. This program is the successor to the Conservation Security Program, which was not continued in the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 except as necessary to support contracts entered into before September 30, 2008. The 2012 Budget proposes $197 million for the Conservation Security Program.Farmland Protection Program (FRPP)Authorized under Section 1238I of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, this program protects soil by limiting nonagricultural use of prime and unique farm and ranch land. Consistent with the President's commitment to the America's Great Outdoors Initiative, the Budget includes $200 million for the Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program to support the acquisition of conservation easements and other interests to keep productive farm and ranchlands in agricultural uses.Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP)This program is authorized by Section 1240N of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The program develops habitat for upland wildlife, wetland wildlife, threatened and endangered species, fish, and other wildlife. The 2012 Budget proposes a level of $73 million for this program and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2012.Grassland Reserve Program (GRP)This program is authorized by Section 1238N of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The purpose of the program is to assist landowners in restoring and protecting grassland. The 2012 budget assumes $67.2 million for this program to enroll 203,515 acres in 2012 and proposes to permanently reduce the program by 165,684 acres.Chesapeake Bay Watershed Program (CBWP)This program is authorized by Section 1240Q of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. It helps agricultural producers improve water quality and quantity and restore, enhance and preserve soil, air and related resources in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed through the implementation of conservation practices. The 2012 Budget proposes $50 million for this program. Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Technical AssistanceThe CRP is authorized by Sections 1231–1235A of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Although CRP is administered by the Farm Service Agency, NRCS provides technical assistance to producers to implement conservation practices on CRP land. FSA provides funds to NRCS as offsetting collections for this purpose in this account. The 2012 budget assumes $124 million for CRP technical assistance. 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 $15 million annually for fiscal years 2008 through 2012. This program is implemented by NRCS, the Agricultural Marketing Service, and the Risk Management Agency. The NRCS AMA activities are carried out in 16 states, as determined by the Secretary, in which participation in the Federal Crop Insurance Program is historically low. The program provides assistance to producers to mitigate financial risk by using conservation to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality. The Budget proposes limiting the overall AMA program to $10 million in 2012, of which NRCS is limited to $2.5 million, and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2012.Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP)This program is authorized by Section 502 of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003, as amended. The program assists landowners in restoring, enhancing and protecting forest ecosystems on private lands to promote the recovery of threatened and endangered species, improve biodiversity, and enhance carbon sequestration. The 2012 Budget proposes $9.75 million for this program. NRCS works to deliver conservation programs using its technical field staff and by partnering with public and private entities through the Technical Service Provider (TSP) system. NRCS can contract with TSPs to help deliver the Farm Bill programs, or agricultural producers may select TSPs to help plan and implement conservation practices on their operations.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1004–0–1–3022010 actualCR2012 est.

Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations 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 rehabilitation efforts, depending upon the needs and opportunities. To improve the environmental and economic benefits of these projects, NRCS focuses on developing and funding non-structural flood prevention measures. However, Congressionally-designated projects account for a significant portion of the account, making it difficult to prioritize projects based on merit criteria. Therefore, the 2012 Budget does not request funding for the watershed operations programs and instead redirects their resources to other priority programs within the agency.Emergency watershed protectionNRCS 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. An emergency is considered to exist when a watershed is suddenly impaired by flood, fire, wind, earthquake, drought or other natural causes and consequently life and property are endangered by floodwater, erosion, or sediment discharge. The emergency area need not be declared a national disaster area to be eligible for emergency watershed protection. Emergency watershed protection is applicable to small scale, localized disasters as well as large scale disasters. State agencies including environmental, natural resource, and fish and game agencies participate in planning and coordinating emergency work. Funding for the emergency watershed protection program is typically provided through emergency supplemental appropriations. Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 78–534NRCS cooperates with soil conservation districts and other local organizations in planning and installing flood prevention improvements in 11 watersheds authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944. The Federal Government shares the cost of improvements for flood prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife development. Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 83–566NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to local organizations to install measures for watershed protection, flood prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. At least 70 percent of the funding provided is used for financial assistance.Loans through the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund have been made in previous years to the local sponsors in order to fund the local cost of Public Law 83–566 or 78–534 projects. No funding for these loans is assumed in 2012. MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2010 actualCR2012 est.

Watershed Rehabilitation Program Under the authorities of Section 14 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, assistance is provided to communities to address concerns about local aging dams. The 2012 Budget does not request funding for the Watershed Rehabilitation Program. The 2012 Budget request reflects the Administration's position that the maintenance, repair, and operation of these dams are primarily a local responsibility since the program benefits are highly localized.As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility, the 2012 Budget proposes no mandatory funding for this program in 2012; $165 million currently available are proposed to be permanently cancelled (see General Provisions for the Department of Agriculture).Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1002–0–1–3012010 actualCR2012 est.

Resource Conservation and Development The Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program was developed under the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (16 U.S.C 590a-590f); the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (16 U.S.C. 1010 and 1011); and the Food and Agricultural Act of 1962 (P.L. 87–703). It is authorized under subtitle H, title XV of the Agricultural and Food Act of 1981 (16 U.S.C. 3451–3461), as amended. The program was permanently authorized by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 and further amended by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L. 110–246). In 1981, sections 1528–1538 of the Agriculture and Food Act authorized a program to encourage and improve the capability of State and local units of government and local nonprofit organizations in rural areas to plan, develop, and implement programs for resource conservation and development. Through this program administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, RC&D areas have established or improved coordination systems in rural communities and built rural community leadership skills to use Federal, State and local programs for the communities' benefit. The program has also assisted local communities in developing strategic plans addressing locally identified natural resource and economic development concerns.NRCS has provided program administration and assistance to RC&D areas by funding coordinators for 375 volunteer non-profit RC&D Councils across the country. Other USDA agencies with conservation or development activities provide input for program policy and guidance and are members of the USDA RC&D Policy Advisory Board and Working Group. In addition, these agencies provide limited technical and financial assistance to RC&D Councils. Councils also obtain the assistance from other local, State, and Federal agencies, private organizations, and foundations to carry out their specific projects. The 2012 Budget does not request funding for the RC&D program. After decades of Federal assistance, these councils have developed sufficiently strong State and local ties that the Administration believes it is no longer necessary to fund Federal council coordinators, as the councils are now able to secure funding for their continued operation without Federal assistance. The following tabulation shows the status of RC&D areas authorized to receive technical and financial assistance. MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2010 actualCR2012 est.

Healthy Forests Reserve Program Title V of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (Public Law 108–148) authorized the establishment of the Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP). This program assists landowners in restoring, enhancing and protecting forest ecosystems to 1) promote the recovery of threatened and endangered species; 2) improve biodiversity; and 3) enhance carbon sequestration. NRCS implements this voluntary program. At the state level, the NRCS State Conservationist determines how best to deliver HFRP and implement national policies in an efficient manner based on the national priorities identified in each sign-up announcement. Only privately held land is eligible for enrollment into HFRP. Land enrolled in the HFRP must have a restoration plan that includes practices necessary to restore and enhance habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered or candidates for the threatened or endangered species list. Technical assistance will be provided by USDA to assist owners in complying with the terms of restoration plans under the HFRP. The 2012 Budget does not request discretionary funding for the Healthy Forests Reserve Program as the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L. 110–246) authorized new mandatory funding for the Healthy Forests Reserve Program of $9.75 million annually from 2009–2012. This funding is included in the 2012 Budget in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs account.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1090–0–1–3022010 actualCR2012 est.

The objectives of the Water Bank Program are to conserve water; to preserve, maintain, and improve the Nation's wetlands; to increase waterfowl habitat in migratory waterfowl nesting, breeding, and feeding areas in the United States; and to secure recreational and environmental benefits for the Nation. The program was authorized by the Water Bank Act of 1970, as amended by Public Law 96–182, approved January 2, 1980. Funding for the expiring 1985 Water Bank agreements was transferred from the 1995 Wetlands Reserve Program appropriation to this account as authorized under the Water Bank Extension Act of 1994. The 2012 Budget does not request program funding, and remaining balances are proposed for cancellation (see General Provisions for the U.S. Department of Agriculture).

Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program (CRBSC) was authorized under section 202(c) of Title II of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act, as amended by section 334, subtitle D, Title III of the Federal Agriculture Improvement Act (FAIR Act) of 1996. The FAIR Act combined the authorities of the Agricultural Conservation Program, Water Quality Incentive Program, Great Plains Conservation Program, and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program into the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The FAIR Act also repealed CRBSC authority, while maintaining program account balances until expended. Since 1996, EQIP has provided cost-share assistance to landowners and others in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming to enhance the supply and quality of water in the Colorado River for delivery to downstream users in the U.S. and Mexico. Section 1237 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, authorizes the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) as a voluntary approach to preserving, protecting, and restoring valuable wetlands. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides program administration for WRP. Funding for WRP is now provided through NRCS's Farm Security and Rural Investment Account.

Rural Development Salaries and Expenses(including transfers of funds)For necessary expenses for carrying out the administration and implementation of programs in the Rural Development mission area, including activities with institutions concerning the development and operation of agricultural cooperatives; and for cooperative agreements; $232,257,000$234,301,000: Provided, That notwithstanding any other provision of law, funds appropriated under this section may be used for advertising and promotional activities that support the Rural Development mission area: Provided further, That not more than $10,000 may be expended to provide modest nonmonetary awards to non-USDA employees: Provided further, That any balances available from prior years for the Rural Utilities Service, Rural Housing Service, and the Rural Business-Cooperative Service salaries and expenses accounts shall be transferred to and merged with this appropriation. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Rural Development Salaries and Expenses 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).RUS provides grants, direct loans and loan guarantees to suppliers of electric, telecommunications (for general purpose and for distance learning/telemedicine), and water and wastewater services in rural areas. Through the water and wastewater program, RUS also provides technical assistance. The electric and telecommunications loan and grant programs are administered in the national office in Washington, DC. The Rural Development field office staff performs the services related to the water and wastewater grant and loan programs. Program staff for the electric and telecommunication loans programs are general field representatives, who visit borrowers periodically and serve as liaisons between the borrowers and headquarters.RHS delivers rural housing and community facility programs through a system of area, local, and State and national offices.RBS delivers direct loans, loan guarantees, grants, technical assistance, and payment programs to cooperatives and other rural businesses.The 2012 Budget reproposes the Regional Innovation Initiative included in the 2011 Budget. This initiative focuses on regional planning and coordination of USDA and other Federal and private sector resources for rural communities. The initiative recognizes that individual communities are often affected by linkages to the other communities within regions and that working together can produce more prosperity for all. The 2012 Budget supports robust regional strategies and includes proposals that continue to focus on the most efficient and effective ways to leverage existing resources to strengthen rural communities. In addition to setting aside up to 5 percent of certain funds to support the Regional Innovation Initiative, funding is being specifically provided for this initiative through the Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) under the community facility program account and the Rural Business Opportunity Grant (RBOG) program under the rural business account. This funding will be used to support regional economic development strategies. Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–0403–0–1–4522010 actualCR2012 est.

Farm Labor Program Account The direct farm labor loan program is authorized under section 514 and the rural housing for domestic farm labor grant program is authorized under section 516 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. The loans, grants, and contracts are made to public and private nonprofit organizations for low-rent housing and related facilities for domestic farm labor. Grants assistance may not exceed 90 percent of the cost of a project. Loans and grants may be used for construction of new structures, site acquisition and development, rehabilitation of existing structures, and purchase of furnishings and equipment for dwellings, dining halls, community rooms, and infirmaries. In order to gain efficiencies in administering the program, the farm labor housing program is requested with the Rural Housing Insurance Fund (RHIF) account in 2012. The farm labor housing loans were originally in RHIF, and splitting it out has caused many technical errors. Merging the program back will alleviate those problems.

Rental Assistance Program rental assistance programFor rental assistance agreements entered into or renewed pursuant to the authority under section 521(a)(2) or agreements entered into in lieu of debt forgiveness or payments for eligible households as authorized by section 502(c)(5)(D) of the Housing Act of 1949, $965,635,000$906,653,000; and, in addition, such sums as may be necessary, as authorized by section 521(c) of the Act, to liquidate debt incurred prior to fiscal year 1992 to carry out the rental assistance program under section 521(a)(2) of the Act: Provided, That of this amount not less than $3,000,000 is available for newly constructed units financed by section 515 of the Housing Act of 1949, and not less than $3,000,000 is for newly constructed units financed under sections 514 and 516 of the Housing Act of 1949: Provided further, That rental assistance agreements entered into or renewed during the current fiscal year shall be funded for a one-year period: Provided further, That any unexpended balances remaining at the end of such one-year agreements may be transferred and used for the purposes of any debt reduction; maintenance, repair, or rehabilitation of any existing projects; preservation; and rental assistance activities authorized under title V of the Act: Provided further, That rental assistance provided under agreements entered into prior to fiscal year 20112012 for a farm labor multi-family housing project financed under section 514 or 516 of the Act may not be recaptured for use in another project until such assistance has remained unused for a period of 12 consecutive months, if such project has a waiting list of tenants seeking such assistance or the project has rental assistance eligible tenants who are not receiving such assistance: Provided further, That such recaptured rental assistance shall, to the extent practicable, be applied to another farm labor multi-family housing project financed under section 514 or 516 of the Act. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.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. Funding under this account is provided for renewals of existing rental assistance contracts and assistance for newly constructed units financed by the section 515 loan program and the 514/516 farm labor housing loan and grant programs. At USDA's discretion, some funds may also be used for additional servicing assistance for existing projects. For 2012, the request for rental assistance grants is for one year contracts with one-year availability, with a total funding level of $906.7 million. 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–0137–0–1–6042010 actualCR2012 est.

Multifamily Housing Revitalization Program Account multi-family housing revitalization program accountFor the rural housing voucher program as authorized under section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949, but notwithstanding subsection (b) of such section, $18,000,000$16,000,000, to remain available until expended, which shall be available for rural housing vouchers to any low-income household (including those not receiving rental assistance) residing in a property financed with a section 515 loan which has been prepaid after September 30, 2005: Provided, That the amount of such voucher shall be the difference between comparable market rent for the section 515 unit and the tenant paid rent for such unit: Provided further, That funds made available for such vouchers shall be subject to the availability of annual appropriations: Provided further, That the Secretary shall, to the maximum extent practicable, administer such vouchers with current regulations and administrative guidance applicable to section 8 housing vouchers administered by the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.USDA's portfolio of multifamily housing projects provides housing for nearly half a million low-income families, many of whom are elderly. Recent Federal court rulings allow projects that received their financing prior to 1989 to prepay and leave the program. Current law allows USDA to assist families displaced by sponsors' prepayments by providing them with letters of priority and vouchers, which were newly funded in 2006. The Budget requests $16 million in 2012 for housing vouchers for residents of projects whose sponsors prepay their outstanding indebtedness on USDA loans and leave the program. Prior year obligated balances reflect funding for rental assistance for newly constructed units provided in limited amounts in 1984 and 1985. From 1986 through 1991 rental assistance for newly constructed units, as well as existing rental assistance contract renewals and additional servicing assistance for existing projects, had been funded under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund. Beginning in 1992, pursuant to Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established for the rental assistance program.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–2002–0–1–6042010 actualCR2012 est.

Rural Community Facilities Program Account rural community facilities program account(including transfers of funds)For the cost of direct loans, loan guarantees, and grants for rural community facilities programs as authorized by section 306 and described in section 381E(d)(1) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, $41,717,000$38,400,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That $8,400,000 of the amount appropriated under this heading shall be available for a Rural Community Development Initiative: Provided further, That such funds shall be used solely to develop the capacity and ability of private, non-profit community-based housing and community development orgranizations, low-income rural communities, and Federally Recognized Native American Tribes to undertake projects to improve housing, community facilities, community and economic development projects in rural areas: Provided further, That such funds shall be made available to qualified private, nonprofit and public intermediary organizations proposing to carry out a program of financial and technical assistance: Provided further, That such intermediary organizations shall provide matching funds from other sources, including Federal funds for related activities, in an amount not less than funds provided: Provided further, That of the amount appropriated under this heading, the amount equal to the amount of Rural Community Facilities Program Account funds allocated by the Secretary for Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones for the fiscal year 20102011, shall be available through June 30, 20112012, for communities designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones for the rural community programs described in section 381E(d)(1) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act: Provided further, That sections 381E-H and 381N of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act are not applicable to the funds made available under this heading: Provided further, That any prior balances in the Rural Development, Rural Community Advancement Program account for programs authorized by section 306 and described in section 381E(d)(1) of such Act be transferred and merged with this account and any other prior balances from the Rural Development, Rural Community Advancement Program account that the Secretary determines is appropriate to transfer. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution. This account funds the direct and guaranteed community facility loans and community facility grants. Since the passage of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 through 2007, the funding for these programs was provided as part of the Rural Community Advancement Program (RCAP). To continue what was proposed and passed in 2008, the 2012 Budget proposes no funding in the RCAP account and instead, each funding stream is being appropriated separately in a new account. Since 2008, this is the new account for the Community programs funding stream. Community facility loans and grants are authorized under sections 306(a)(1) and 306(a)(19) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Loans are provided to local governments and nonprofit organizations for the construction and improvement of community facilities providing essential services in rural areas of not more than 20,000 population, such as hospitals and fire stations. Total program level in 2012 is projected to be $1 billion for the direct loans. The 2012 Budget requests $30 million for Community Facilities grant program. It also requests $8.4 million for Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) grants. This funding will be used to support regional economic development strategies and will be instrumental in carrying out the Regional Innovation Initiative.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1951–0–1–4522010 actualCR2012 est.

Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account rural housing insurance fund program account(including transfers of funds)For gross obligations for the principal amount of direct and guaranteed loans as authorized by title V of the Housing Act of 1949, to be available from funds in the rural housing insurance fund, as follows: $13,200,000,000$24,211,416,000 for loans to section 502 borrowers, of which $1,200,000,000$211,416,000 shall be for direct loans, and of which $12,000,000,000 $24,000,000,000 shall be for unsubsidized guaranteed loans without regard to section 710 of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109–97); $34,004,000 for section 504 housing repair loans; and $95,236,000 for section 515 rental housing; $129,133,000 for section 538 guaranteed multi-family housing loans; $5,052,000 for section 524 site loans; $11,449,000 for credit sales of acquired property, of which up to $1,449,000 may be for multi-family credit sales; and $4,966,000 for section 523 self-help housing land development loans. For the cost of direct and guaranteed loans, including the cost of modifying loans, as defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as follows: section 502 loans, $75,120,000$10,000,000 shall be for 502 direct loans; section 504 housing repair loans, $6,437,000;; and $32,495,000 for repair, rehabilitation, and new construction of section 515 rental housing: , $32,123,000; section 538 multi-family housing guaranteed loans, $12,513,000; section 524 site development loans, $294,000; credit sales of acquired property, $556,000; and section 523 self-help land development housing loans, $288,000: Provided, That of the total amount appropriated in this paragraph, the amount equal to the amount of Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account funds allocated by the Secretary for Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones for the fiscal year 2010 2011, shall be available through June 30, 20112012, for communities designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones: Provided further, That section 538 multi-family housing guaranteed loans funded pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to a guarantee fee and the interest on such loans may not be subsidized: Provided further, That any balances for a demonstration program for the preservation and revitalization of the section 515 multi-family rental housing properties as authorized by Public Law 109–97, Public Law 110–5, and Public Law 111–80 shall be transferred to and merged with the "Rural Housing Service, Multi-family Housing Revitalization Program Account''.In addition, for the cost of direct loans, grants, and contracts, as authorized by 42 U.S.C. 1484 and 1486, $19,192,000, to remain available until expended, for direct farm labor housing loans and domestic farm labor housing grants and contracts: Provided, That any balances available for the Farm Labor Program Account shall be transferred and merged with this account.In addition, for administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs, $454,383,000$411,779,000 shall be paid to the appropriation for "Rural Development, Salaries and Expenses''. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.Rural Housing Insurance FundThis fund was established in 1965 (Public Law 89–117) pursuant to section 517 of title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. The programs funded through the Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program account are: section 502 single family housing direct loans and loan guarantees; section 504 housing repair loans; section 515 multi-family housing direct loans; section 524 housing site loans, single family and multi-family housing credit sales of acquired property, and section 538 multi-family housing guarantees. The section 523 self-help housing land development loan program is funded in this account as of 1997. Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include towns, villages, and other places which are not part of an urban area and that have a population not in excess of 2,500 inhabitants, or is in excess of 2,500 but not in excess of 10,000 if rural in character, or has a population in excess of 10,000 but not more than 20,000 and is not within a standard metropolitan statistical area and has a serious lack of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers. For 2012, the Budget funds single family housing activities primarily through the Section 502 single family housing guaranteed loan program. The Section 502 single family housing guarantees are requested at a $24 billion loan level for 2012. The 2010 Supplemental Disaster Relief and Summer Jobs (P.L. 111–212) increased the authorized cap on the up-front fee to 3.5 percent and established an annual fee authority, which is capped at 0.5 percent. For 2012, the up-front fee on new purchase loans will be 2 percent with an annual fee of 0.3 percent. The up-front fee for refinanced loan guarantees will remain one percent, but will also have a 0.3 percent annual fee. This fee structure, with the current loan performance, results in a -.03 percent subsidy rate for 2012. The rate could not be negative without the annual fee in 2012. The subsidy rate for 2012 is a blended rate of the new/purchase single family housing guarantees with the refinanced single family housing guarantees. The 2012 Budget also proposes to make the guaranteed loan program a direct endorsement program similar to VA and HUD's guaranteed loan program through another General Provision. This will make RHS more efficient and allow Rural Development staff to focus on other areas of unmet needs. The 2012 Budget requests a limited funding level of $211 million for Section 502 single family housing direct loans to allow for targeted support for very-low and low income individuals seeking mortgage credit in rural areas. These funds are expected to be used with various initiatives within the Administration's priorities. No funding is requested for Section 504 very-low income housing repair, Section 524 site development, Section 523 self-help housing land development and credit sales of acquired property for single and multi-family housing. The 2012 Budget fully funds the multi-family housing direct loan programs. It includes a request for $95 million for Section 515 multi-family housing loans, and $27 million for farm labor housing loans and $9.8 million for farm labor housing grants. In order to gain efficiencies in administering the program, the Section 514 and 516 farm labor housing program will be merged with this account in 2012.The 2012 Budget requests no funding for the multi-family housing loan guarantee loan program. Its purpose was to stimulate additional multi-family housing in rural areas for moderate income tenants. The purpose of the program is redundant with similar HUD programs that guarantee loans for various types of multi-family housing. In addition, this program has suffered from larger than expected defaults in recent years, raising the cost of the program unexpectedly. 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.

National sheep industry improvement center revolving fund Funding has been provided since 2001 to support grants for areas that have high energy costs. These grants can be made to eligible entities or the Denali Commission to construct, extend, upgrade, and otherwise improve energy generation, transmission, or distribution facilities serving communities in which the average residential expenditure for home energy is at least 275 percent of the national average residential expenditure for home energy (as determined by the Energy Information Agency using the most recent data available). Grants are also available to establish and support a revolving fund to provide a more cost-effective means of purchasing fuel where the fuel cannot be shipped by means of surface transportation. The Budget proposes no funding in 2012.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–2042–0–1–4522010 actualCR2012 est.

Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.This account funds the direct and guaranteed water and waste disposal loans, water and waste disposal grants, emergency community water assistance grants, and solid waste management grants. Since the passage of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 provided for the consolidation of the funding for these programs as part of the Rural Community Advancement Program (RCAP). However, since 2008 appropriation acts have provided no funding in the RCAP account and instead, each funding stream is being appropriated separately in new accounts. This is the account for the Water and Wastewater funding stream, which is the Rural Utilities Stream from the RCAP account. The 2012 budget continues this arrangement. Water and waste disposal loans are authorized under 7 U.S.C. 1926. The program provides direct loans to municipalities, counties, special purpose districts, certain Indian Tribes, and non-profit corporations to develop water and waste disposal systems in rural areas and towns with populations of less than 10,000. The program also guarantees water and waste disposal loans made by banks and other eligible lenders. In 2012, the projected loan level is approximately $770 million for direct loans. The guaranteed loan program has a positive subsidy rate for the first time in the loan program's history for 2012. Because of that, the projected 2012 loan level has been reduced to the average historical obligation amount of $12 million. This loan level is expected to be sufficient to meet demand.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. $411 million is requested for this program in 2012. 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. $4 million is requested for this program in 2012.

Rural Electrification and Telecommunications Loans Program Account rural electrification and telecommunications loans program account(including transfer of funds)The principal amount of direct and guaranteed loans as authorized by sections 305 and 306 of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 935 and 936) shall be made as follows: 5 percent rural electrification loans, $100,000,000; loans made pursuant to section 306 of that Act, rural electric, $4,000,000,000$6,000,000,000; 5 percent rural telecommunications loans, $145,000,000; cost of money rural telecommunications loans, $250,000,000; and for loans made pursuant to section 306 of that Act, rural telecommunications loans, $295,000,000: Provided, That not less than $4,000,000,000 shall befunds made available under this paragraph shall be made available for construction, acquisition or improvement of renewable energy plants or for construction, acquisition or improvement of fossil fueled electric generating plants (whether new or existing) unless such funds are made available for that utilize carbon sequestration systems:. Provided further, That funding may be made available for fossil fuel electric generating peaking units (new or existing) to the extent that the peaking unit operates in conjunction with an electric generating plant that produces electricity from solar, wind, or other intermittent sources of energy: Provided further, That not more than $2,000,000,000 shall be available for environmental improvements to fossil fuel electric generating plants that would reduce emissions of air pollution including greenhouse gases.In addition, for administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs, $38,374,000$39,959,000, which shall be paid to the appropriation for "Rural Development, Salaries and Expenses''. Note.—A full-year 2011 appropriation for this account was not enacted at the time the budget was prepared; therefore, this account is operating under a continuing resolution (P.L. 111–242, as amended). The amounts included for 2011 reflect the annualized level provided by the continuing resolution.The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) conducts the rural electrification and the rural telecommunications loan programs. The rural electrification loan program is financed through RUS direct and guaranteed loans for the operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems. The rural telecommunications loan program is financed through RUS direct loans for construction, expansion, and operation of telecommunications lines and facilities or systems. The Budget requests $690 million in 2012 for the telecommunication loan program.The Budget supports the Administrations commitment to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. The total electric loan level included in the budget is $6.1 billion. Of which, up to $2 billion may be available for environmental improvements to fossil fuel electric generating plants that would reduce emissions. The remaining funding would be limited to renewable energy, transmission, distribution, carbon capture projects on generation facilities, and low emission peaking units affiliated with energy facilities that produce electricity from solar, wind and other intermittent sources of energy.RUS will cancel loans obligated, but not disbursed, more than ten years ago. Most electric loans obligated more than ten years ago have either been disbursed or cancelled. However, current law prohibits the cancellation of telecommunications loans in most instances. This has resulted in many outstanding obligations that are older than ten years. Since loans are issued for specific projects, and technology is changing at a very fast pace, it is doubtful that the original project will be accomplished ten years after a loan is approved. 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.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12–1230–0–1–2712010 actualCR2012 est.

The Rural Telephone Bank has dissolved. To accomplish this, the Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were used to redeem a portion of the Government's stock. The Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were transferred to the Rural Electrification and Telecommunications liquidating account in 2006.The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) will continue to service all loans in this account providing business management and technical assistance to the borrowers on a regular basis over the life of the loans.This program is financed through RUS direct loans for the construction and operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems.As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, all cash flows to and from the Government resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed prior to 1992. All new activity in RETRF in 1992 and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts.The following tables reflect statistics on loans made through the liquidating account only. Since 1992 new electric and telephone loans have been made through a separate program account.ELECTRIC PROGRAM STATISTICS[dollars in millions]2010 actual2011 est.2012 est.
