Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 24 / Monday, February 6, 2006 / Proposed Rules
(3) For all other states, the date as
provided in the Special Provisions.
(h) In lieu of section 10(a) of these
Crop Provisions, you must give notice of
probable loss within 72 hours after you
discover any insured mint is damaged
and does not have an adequate stand,
but no later than the date coverage ends
for this option.
(i) In addition to the requirements of
section 10 of these Crop Provisions, you
must give us notice if you want our
consent to put any mint acreage to
another use before a determination can
be made if there is an adequate stand on
the acreage. We will inspect the acreage
and you must agree in writing no
payment or indemnity will be made for
the acreage put to another use. The total
production to count for acreage put to
another use with our consent according
to this section will be the production
guarantee.
(j) In addition to section 11(a) of these
Crop Provisions we will make a Winter
Coverage Option payment only on
acreage that had an adequate stand on
the date that insurance attached if the
adequate stand was lost due to an
insured cause of loss occurring within
the Winter Coverage Option insurance
period and the acreage consists of at
least 20 acres or 20 percent of the
insurable planted acres in the unit.
(k) In lieu of section 11(b) of these
Crop Provisions, we may defer
appraisals until the date coverage ends
under this option.
(l) In lieu of section 11(c) of these
Crop Provisions, in the event of loss or
damage covered by this policy, we will
settle your claim by:
(1) Multiplying 60 percent by your
production guarantee per acre;
(2) Multiplying the result in section
13(l)(1) by the number of acres that do
not have an adequate stand;
(3) Multiplying the result in section
13(l)(2) by the price election; and
(4) Multiplying the result in section
13(l)(3) by your share.
For example:
Assume that you have a 100 percent
share in 100 acres of mint with a
guarantee of 50 pounds of oil per acre
and a price election of $12 per pound.
Also assume that you do not have an
adequate stand on 50 acres by the date
coverage ends for this option because an
insured cause has damaged the stand.
Your Winter Coverage Option payment
would be calculated as follows:
(1) 60 percent × 50 pound guarantee
= 30 pound guarantee per acre;
(2) 30 pound guarantee per acre × 50
acres without an adequate stand = 1,500
pounds;
(3) 1,500 pounds × $12 price election
= $18,000; and
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
(4) $18,000 × 100 percent share =
$18,000 Winter Coverage Option
payment.
(m) In lieu of section 11(d) of these
Crop Provisions, the population of live
mint plants to be counted from
insurable acreage on the unit will be not
less than the population of live mint
plants in an adequate stand for acreage:
(1) That is abandoned;
(2) That is put to another use without
our consent;
(3) For which you fail to meet the
requirements contained in section 13(h);
or
(4) That is damaged solely by
uninsured causes.
(n) Acreage for which a Winter
Coverage Option payment has been
made is no longer insurable under the
Crop Provisions for the current crop
year. Any mint production subsequently
harvested from uninsured acreage for
the crop year and not kept separate from
production from insured acreage will be
considered production to count.
(o) Acreage for which a Winter
Coverage Option payment has been
made will receive an amount of
production of zero when computing
subsequent year’s approved yield.
(p) Sections 11(e), (f), and (g) of these
Crop Provisions do not apply to this
option.
Signed in Washington, DC, on January 30,
2006.

Manager, Federal Crop Insurance
Corporation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Egg
Research and Consumer Information Act
of 1974, as amended (7 U.S.C. 1201 et
seq.), authorized the Egg Research and
Promotion Order (7 CFR part 1250),
which is industry-operated and funded
with oversight by USDA. The Egg
Research and Promotion Order’s
objective is to establish, finance, and
carry out promotion, research, and
education programs to improve,
maintain, and develop markets for eggs,
egg products, spent fowl, and products
of spent fowl.
The program became effective on
August 1, 1976, when the Egg Research
and Promotion Order (7 CFR part 1250)
was implemented. In accordance with
the legislation, the American Egg Board
was established, and assessments at 5
cents per 30-dozen case of eggs soon
began to be levied. Since that time,
assessments have fluctuated from 21⁄2
cents per 30-dozen case of eggs to the
current 10 cents per 30-dozen case
approved by producer referendum in
1994.
Assessments collected under this
program are used to carry out
promotion, research, and education
programs to improve, maintain, and
develop markets for eggs, egg products,
spent fowl, and products of spent fowl.
The program is administered by the
American Egg Board, which is
composed of egg producers and egg
producer representatives. Each of the 18

members and their specific alternates
are appointed by the Secretary of
Agriculture from nominations submitted
by certified producer organizations. The
Secretary annually appoints half of the
Board, nine members and nine
alternates, for 2-year terms.
AMS published in the Federal
Register (64 FR 8014; February 18,
1999) its plan to review certain
regulations, including the Egg Research
and Promotion Program (conducted
under the Egg Research and Promotion
Order), under criteria contained in
section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (RFA; 5 U.S.C. 601–612). The plan
was updated in the Federal Register on
August 14, 2003 (68 FR 48574). Because
many AMS regulations impact small
entities, AMS decided, as a matter of
policy, to review certain regulations
which, although they may not meet the
threshold requirement under section
610 of the RFA, warrant review.
Accordingly, this notice and request for
comments is made for the Egg Research
and Promotion Order.
The purpose of the review is to
determine whether the Order should be
continued without change, amended, or
rescinded (consistent with the
objectives of the Egg Research and
Consumer Information Act of 1974) to
minimize the impacts on small entities.
AMS will consider the continued need
for the Order; the nature of complaints
or comments received from the public
concerning the Order; the complexity of
the Order; the extent to which the Order
overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with
other Federal rules, and, to the extent
feasible, with State and local
regulations; and the length of time since
the Order has been evaluated or the
degree to which technology, economic
conditions, or other factors have
changed in the area affected by the
Order.
Written comments, views, opinions,
and other information regarding the
Order’s impact on small businesses are
invited.
