Interim final rule with request for comment. AGENCY: rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES ACTION: SUMMARY: The Farm Service Agency (FSA) issues this interim final rule in response to emergency agricultural situations caused by the 2005 Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Ophelia, Rita, and Wilma in certain counties in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas. The named hurricanes severely limited the purchasing power of farmers engaged in the production of agricultural commodities. This rule provides for the establishment of four hurricane disaster programs and one grant program using an estimated $250 million in funds available under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935, to be administered by FSA in order to provide funds to eligible producers who suffered eligible losses, thus reestablishing these producers’ purchasing power. The grants will be provided to the respective States to enable them to assist aquaculture producers having losses VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:26 May 09, 2006 Jkt 208001 related to the aforementioned 2005 hurricanes. DATES: This interim final rule is effective May 9, 2006. Written comments via letter, facsimile, or Internet must be received on or before June 9, 2006 in order to be assured consideration. ADDRESSES: FSA invites interested persons to submit comments on this interim final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background 2005 Section 32 Hurricane Disaster Programs Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935, as amended (section 32) provides, in part, discretionary authority for the Secretary of Agriculture (the Secretary) to use section 32 funds to reestablish farmers’ purchasing power by making payments to them in connection with the normal production of agricultural commodities produced for domestic consumption. This authority has been used in the past to provide assistance to producers in response to unusual market conditions that adversely affected them. Therefore, the Secretary is using funds available under section 32 in order to restore purchasing power to farmers affected by the significant PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 and widespread destruction caused by the 2005 Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Ophelia, Rita, and Wilma in applicable counties in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas. The hurricanes destroyed and damaged trees, killed livestock, destroyed feed, and adversely impacted crop production, including aquaculture. This interim final rule addresses the hurricane destruction in those counties receiving a Presidential or Secretarial Designation as a primary county. Accordingly, the Secretary has determined that assistance is appropriate under this authority in these counties by providing the following programs: • The Hurricane Indemnity Program (HIP) will provide payments to eligible producers who receive either a Federal Crop Insurance Corporation crop insurance indemnity payment or a crop loss payment under FSA’s Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) for crop losses that are primarily attributable to one of the five listed hurricanes in an eligible county. HIP payments will be equal to 30 percent of the Risk Management Agency crop insurance indemnity or 30 percent of the NAP payment, subject to the limitations of this rule. Producers suffering crop losses due to an eligible hurricane may have been impacted by other causes of loss, not related to such a hurricane, prior to the hurricane occurrence. As a result, if a crop insurance indemnity or NAP payment was received for multiple causes of loss, including hurricane and related conditions, the entire crop insurance indemnity or NAP payment will be used to determine the HIP benefit. Since losses under both programs are not finalized until after harvest is completed or crop is abandoned RMA and FSA are unable to specifically prorate crop insurance indemnities or NAP payments strictly due to hurricane. If FSA determines that the cause of loss was not due to a hurricane or related condition, no payment will be made. • The Feed Indemnity Program (FIP) will provide payments for feed losses or increased feed costs to eligible owners, or cash lessees, of eligible livestock in eligible counties due to 2005 hurricanes. Payments will be based on per-day feed needs for each type of eligible livestock. • The Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) will provide payments to eligible livestock owners and contract growers who suffered eligible livestock deaths that occurred in an eligible county due to 2005 hurricanes. Payments will be based on 75 percent of an average market value of the eligible livestock for non-contract growers and 75 percent of E:\FR\FM\10MYR1.SGM 10MYR1 rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 2006 / Rules and Regulations a determined loss of income from eligible livestock for contract growers. Compensation received from the contractor for loss of income from the dead livestock will be deducted from the contract grower’s payment. • The Tree Indemnity Program (TIP) will provide payments to eligible owners of commercially grown fruit trees, nut trees, bushes, and vines that produce an annual crop and were lost or damaged due to 2005 hurricanes in eligible counties. Payment rates will be established based on the severity of damage caused by the hurricanes from least to most severe as reflected by established tiers. Maps showing the tiers are available at https://disaster.fsa/ usda.gov and at applicable FSA service centers. The severity of damage is referenced using four tiers. These tiers were established using the maximum sustained wind speeds as recorded by the U.S. Weather Service stations located throughout the impacted areas. The first tier represents those areas where the maximum sustained wind speeds were between 90 and 110 mile per hour (MPH); the second tier represents those areas where the maximum sustained wind speeds were between 70 and 89 mph; the third tier represents those areas where the maximum sustained wind speeds were between 50 and 69 mph; and the fourth tier represents those areas where the maximum sustained wind speeds were between 30 and 49 mph. • Aquaculture grants will be made available to the State governments of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas. Aquaculture producers who raise aquaculture species in a controlled environment in eligible counties and who have not received assistance under other disaster programs for the same aquaculture losses may be eligible. The amount of each grant will be based on the value of aquaculture sales from each eligible county uniformly prorated to insure that available funding is not exceeded. Due to the limited amount of funding for HIP, FIP, LIP and TIP and in order to maintain equitable treatment of producers under all disaster programs of FSA and the Commodity Credit Corporation, the amount of payments per program that a ‘person’ may receive cannot exceed $80,000; adjusted gross income rules apply, which provide that payments will not be available for persons whose adjusted gross income is $2.5 million or higher, unless 75 percent or more of their income is derived from farming, ranching, and/or forestry; and the rules for conservation compliance, and controlled substances apply. VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:26 May 09, 2006 Jkt 208001 Summary of Cost-Benefit Analysis As a result of extensive crop damage from these five hurricanes, 261 counties in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas were designated as Presidential and Secretarial primary disaster counties. Production losses for the three most devastating of storms, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, are estimated to total $2.1 billion. A wide variety of crops were damaged because of the diversity of production in the affected areas. Damaged crops include feed grains, soybeans, upland cotton, rice, sugarcane, nursery plants, fruits, vegetables, pecans, pasture, livestock, poultry, and aquaculture. The numbers of designated counties listed by states are as follows: • Alabama—40 counties suffered under Dennis and/or Katrina. • Florida—36 counties suffered under Dennis, Katrina, and/or Wilma. • Louisiana—64 counties suffered under Katrina and Rita. • Mississippi—82 counties suffered under Katrina. • North Carolina—10 counties under Ophelia. • Texas—29 counties under Rita. HIP payments will provide additional crop loss assistance to restore purchasing power to producers affected by the named hurricanes. According to the Risk Management Agency (RMA) crop loss indemnities were approximately $291 million. Based on the participation rates in the hurricaneimpacted States, it is estimated that approximately $16.6 million will be issued under NAP. Thus, HIP payments are estimated to total a maximum of $60 million. The value of expected claims under the 2005 FIP is $30 million. To the extent program payments are ultimately spent on forage or grain or affect the total supply of available livestock, the impacts of the FIP on any sector of the economy, including livestock feed prices, livestock prices, and consumer prices, are not expected to be measurable. The effect on aggregate social welfare of any slight redistribution of wealth and income resulting from the expected $30 million in 2005 FIP payment claims is expected to be so slight as to be immeasurable. However, for those producers who have suffered losses due to the 2005 hurricanes, and qualify for payments under the FIP, their farm income losses will be somewhat offset or reduced by these payments, and they and their local communities will benefit accordingly. The value of expected claims under the 2006 LIP is $16.9 million, but could PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 27189 be higher by an unknown but likely small magnitude as actual applications for aid are submitted, or smaller to the extent that payments are bound by the $80,000 maximum payment or the $2.5 gross income limit for applicants. To the extent program payments are ultimately spent on forage or grain or affect the total supply of available livestock, the impacts of the LIP on any sector of the economy, including livestock feed prices, livestock prices, and consumer prices, are not expected to be measurable. The effect on aggregate social welfare of any slight redistribution of wealth and income resulting from the expected $16.9 million in 2006 LIP payment claims is also expected to be so slight as to be immeasurable. However, for those producers who have suffered losses due to the 2005 hurricanes, and qualify for payments under the LIP, their farm income losses will be somewhat offset or reduced by these payments, and they and their local communities will benefit accordingly. Cost of the TIP is expected to be between $32.3 million and $64.6 million with a point estimate of $37.7 million. Over 90 percent the program funds will go to the Florida citrus industry. Funding of $25 million is being provided for assistance to aquaculture producers. Aquaculture grants will be made available to State governments as follows: Alabama, $5,037,500; Florida, $3,662,500; Louisiana, $4,512,500; Mississippi, $10,762,500; North Carolina, $312,500; and Texas, $712,500. It is likely that a preponderance of the assistance will be provided to crawfish operations, with most of the balance going to catfish producers. The total amount of funding is expected to be expended. Notice and Comment In general, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), as codified at 5 U.S.C. 553, requires that notice of proposed rulemaking shall be published in the Federal Register and interested persons must be given an opportunity to participate in the rulemaking through submission of written data, views, or arguments with or without opportunity for oral presentation. This applies except to the extent there is involved a military or foreign affairs function of the United States or a matter relating to agency management or personnel or to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts. Such notice is not required under the APA, however, when an agency publishes interpretative rules, general statements of policy, or rules of agency organization, procedure, or E:\FR\FM\10MYR1.SGM 10MYR1 27190 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 10, 2006 / Rules and Regulations practice. Further, such notice is not required when the agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. However, the Statement of Policy of the Secretary of Agriculture effective July 24, 1971, 36 FR 13804 (July 24, 1971) (Statement), notes that the advantages of such APA requirements of permitting greater public participation in the formulation of rules generally outweighs any disadvantages such as increased costs or delays, when publishing rules related to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts. As such, the Statement recommends notice of proposed rulemaking when formulating such rules. Nevertheless, like the APA, under this Statement, exemptions from such requirements are permitted where an agency, for good cause, finds that compliance would be impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest, and only when there is a substantial basis. For the programs referenced in this regulation, FSA finds that a substantial basis exists for publishing this rule as interim final. It would be impracticable and contrary to public interest to delay implementation of this rule because it would significantly delay assistance under these section 32 programs to the many people who suffered losses and were affected by the 2005 Hurricanes. Such delay in implementation could possibly cause irreparable and additional damage to those who have already suffered losses as a result of the 2005 Hurricanes. This interim rule is thus effective immediately. However, public comments are still invited and will be considered to the extent practicable in the promulgation of the final rule. rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES Executive Order 12866 This rule has been determined to be economically significant under Executive Order 12866 and has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. A Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) was completed and is available from the contact person cited above. Regulatory Flexibility Act This rule is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act since the Farm Service Agency is not required by 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for this rule. Environmental Review The environmental impacts of this rule have been considered consistent with the National Environmental Policy VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:26 May 09, 2006 Jkt 208001 Act of 1969 (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., the regulations of the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts 1500 1508), and regulations of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) for compliance with NEPA, 7 CFR part 799. An Environmental Evaluation was completed and it was determined that this action does not have the potential to significantly impact the quality of the human environment and, therefore, the rule is categorically excluded from further review under NEPA. A copy of the environmental evaluation is on file and available to the public in the Administrative Record at the address specified in the ADDRESSES section of this rule. Executive Order 12372 This program is not subject to the provisions of Executive Order 12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. See the Notice related to 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, published at 48 FR 29115 (June 24, 1983). Executive Order 12612 This rule does not have Federalism implications that warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment. This rule will not have a substantial direct effect on States or their political subdivisions, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. Executive Order 12988 This rule has been reviewed in accordance with Executive Order 12988. This interim rule is not retroactive and it does not preempt State law. Before any judicial action may be brought regarding the provisions of this rule the administrative appeal provisions of 7 CFR parts 11 and 780 must be exhausted. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 This rule contains no Federal mandates under the regulatory provisions of Title II of the UMRA for State, local, and tribal government or the private sector. Therefore, this rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. Paperwork Reduction Act In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection required to support this program and assigned it OMB Control number 0560– 0257. Copies of the information collection may be obtained from Debbie PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 O’Donoghue, phone: (202) 720–6605; email: Debbie.Odonoghue@wdc.usda.gov. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 This rule has been determined to be Major under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, (Pub. L. 104–121) (SBREFA). SBREFA normally requires that an agency delay the effective date of a major rule for 60 days from the date of publication to allow for Congressional review. Section 808 of SBREFA allows an agency to make a major regulation effective immediately if the agency finds there is good cause to do so. Accordingly, FSA finds that it would be contrary to the public interest to delay implementation of this rule because it would significantly delay assistance to the many people affected by the hurricane disasters addressed by this rule. This rule is thus effective immediately. Government Paperwork Elimination Act FSA is committed to compliance with the Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) and the Freedom to E-File Act, which require Government agencies in general and FSA in particular to provide the public the option of submitting information or transacting business electronically to the maximum extent possible. The regulation is available at https:// www.fsa.usda.gov under the heading ‘Other Partners.’ Applications may be submitted at the FSA county offices, by mail or by FAX.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Electronic and Facsimile Availability This document and additional information concerning the programs of the Office of Foreign Assets Control are available for downloading from the Office’s Internet Home Page: https:// www.treas.gov/ofac, or via FTP at ofacftp.treas.gov. Background OFAC administers three sanctions programs with respect to terrorists and terrorist organizations. The Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 595 (‘‘TSR’’), implement Executive Order 12947 of January 23, 1995, in which the President declared a national emergency with respect to ‘‘grave acts of violence committed by foreign terrorists that disrupt the Middle East peace process’.’’ The Global Terrorism Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 594 (‘‘GTSR’’), implement Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, in which the President declared an emergency more generally with respect to ‘‘grave acts of terrorism and threats of terrorism committed by foreign terrorists’.’’ The Foreign Terrorist Organizations Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 597 (‘‘FTOSR’’), implement provisions of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 (‘‘AEDPA’’). HAMAS, members of which now form the majority party within the Palestinian Legislative Council and hold positions of authority within the government including the position of Prime Minister, is a target of each of these sanctions programs, resulting in the blocking of any property and interests in property of HAMAS that are in the United States or hereafter come within the United States, or that are in or hereafter come within the possession or control of a United States person. These restrictions prohibit U.S. persons from dealing in property or interests in property of HAMAS. OFAC has determined that, as a result of the recent elections, HAMAS has a property interest in the transactions of the Palestinian Authority. Accordingly, pursuant to the TSR, the GTSR and the FTOSR, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions with the Palestinian Authority unless authorized. PO 00000 Frm 00015 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 27199 Notwithstanding the prohibitions, OFAC, consistent with current foreign policy, is authorizing U.S. persons to engage in certain transactions in which the Palestinian Authority may have an interest. It should be noted that the prohibitions involving the Palestinian Authority do not bar all transactions involving individuals and entities in Palestinian territory. Executive Order 12866, Administrative Procedure Act, Regulatory Flexibility Act, and Paperwork Reduction Act Because the regulations at issue involve a foreign affairs function, the provisions of Executive Order 12866 and the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, opportunity for public participation, and delay in effective date are inapplicable. Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required for this rule, the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601–612) does not apply. The Paperwork Reduction Act does not apply because this rule does not impose information collection requirements that would require the approval of the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

RIN 0560-AH45


2005 Section 32 Hurricane Disaster Programs

AGENCY: Farm Service Agency, USDA.

ACTION: Interim final rule with request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Farm Service Agency (FSA) issues this interim final rule 
in response to emergency agricultural situations caused by the 2005 
Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Ophelia, Rita, and Wilma in certain 
counties in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, 
and Texas. The named hurricanes severely limited the purchasing power 
of farmers engaged in the production of agricultural commodities. This 
rule provides for the establishment of four hurricane disaster programs 
and one grant program using an estimated $250 million in funds 
available under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935, to be 
administered by FSA in order to provide funds to eligible producers who 
suffered eligible losses, thus reestablishing these producers' 
purchasing power. The grants will be provided to the respective States 
to enable them to assist aquaculture producers having losses related to 
the aforementioned 2005 hurricanes.

DATES: This interim final rule is effective May 9, 2006. Written 
comments via letter, facsimile, or Internet must be received on or 
before June 9, 2006 in order to be assured consideration.

ADDRESSES: FSA invites interested persons to submit comments on this 
interim final rule. Comments may be submitted by any of the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

2005 Section 32 Hurricane Disaster Programs

    Section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935, as amended (section 32) 
provides, in part, discretionary authority for the Secretary of 
Agriculture (the Secretary) to use section 32 funds to reestablish 
farmers' purchasing power by making payments to them in connection with 
the normal production of agricultural commodities produced for domestic 
consumption. This authority has been used in the past to provide 
assistance to producers in response to unusual market conditions that 
adversely affected them. Therefore, the Secretary is using funds 
available under section 32 in order to restore purchasing power to 
farmers affected by the significant and widespread destruction caused 
by the 2005 Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Ophelia, Rita, and Wilma in 
applicable counties in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North 
Carolina, and Texas. The hurricanes destroyed and damaged trees, killed 
livestock, destroyed feed, and adversely impacted crop production, 
including aquaculture. This interim final rule addresses the hurricane 
destruction in those counties receiving a Presidential or Secretarial 
Designation as a primary county. Accordingly, the Secretary has 
determined that assistance is appropriate under this authority in these 
counties by providing the following programs:
     The Hurricane Indemnity Program (HIP) will provide 
payments to eligible producers who receive either a Federal Crop 
Insurance Corporation crop insurance indemnity payment or a crop loss 
payment under FSA's Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) 
for crop losses that are primarily attributable to one of the five 
listed hurricanes in an eligible county. HIP payments will be equal to 
30 percent of the Risk Management Agency crop insurance indemnity or 30 
percent of the NAP payment, subject to the limitations of this rule. 
Producers suffering crop losses due to an eligible hurricane may have 
been impacted by other causes of loss, not related to such a hurricane, 
prior to the hurricane occurrence. As a result, if a crop insurance 
indemnity or NAP payment was received for multiple causes of loss, 
including hurricane and related conditions, the entire crop insurance 
indemnity or NAP payment will be used to determine the HIP benefit. 
Since losses under both programs are not finalized until after harvest 
is completed or crop is abandoned RMA and FSA are unable to 
specifically prorate crop insurance indemnities or NAP payments 
strictly due to hurricane. If FSA determines that the cause of loss was 
not due to a hurricane or related condition, no payment will be made.
     The Feed Indemnity Program (FIP) will provide payments for 
feed losses or increased feed costs to eligible owners, or cash 
lessees, of eligible livestock in eligible counties due to 2005 
hurricanes. Payments will be based on per-day feed needs for each type 
of eligible livestock.
     The Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) will provide 
payments to eligible livestock owners and contract growers who suffered 
eligible livestock deaths that occurred in an eligible county due to 
2005 hurricanes. Payments will be based on 75 percent of an average 
market value of the eligible livestock for non-contract growers and 75 
percent of

[[Page 27189]]

a determined loss of income from eligible livestock for contract 
growers. Compensation received from the contractor for loss of income 
from the dead livestock will be deducted from the contract grower's 
payment.
     The Tree Indemnity Program (TIP) will provide payments to 
eligible owners of commercially grown fruit trees, nut trees, bushes, 
and vines that produce an annual crop and were lost or damaged due to 
2005 hurricanes in eligible counties. Payment rates will be established 
based on the severity of damage caused by the hurricanes from least to 
most severe as reflected by established tiers. Maps showing the tiers 
are available at https://disaster.fsa/usda.gov and at applicable FSA 
service centers. The severity of damage is referenced using four tiers. 
These tiers were established using the maximum sustained wind speeds as 
recorded by the U.S. Weather Service stations located throughout the 
impacted areas. The first tier represents those areas where the maximum 
sustained wind speeds were between 90 and 110 mile per hour (MPH); the 
second tier represents those areas where the maximum sustained wind 
speeds were between 70 and 89 mph; the third tier represents those 
areas where the maximum sustained wind speeds were between 50 and 69 
mph; and the fourth tier represents those areas where the maximum 
sustained wind speeds were between 30 and 49 mph.
     Aquaculture grants will be made available to the State 
governments of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina 
and Texas. Aquaculture producers who raise aquaculture species in a 
controlled environment in eligible counties and who have not received 
assistance under other disaster programs for the same aquaculture 
losses may be eligible. The amount of each grant will be based on the 
value of aquaculture sales from each eligible county uniformly prorated 
to insure that available funding is not exceeded.
    Due to the limited amount of funding for HIP, FIP, LIP and TIP and 
in order to maintain equitable treatment of producers under all 
disaster programs of FSA and the Commodity Credit Corporation, the 
amount of payments per program that a `person' may receive cannot 
exceed $80,000; adjusted gross income rules apply, which provide that 
payments will not be available for persons whose adjusted gross income 
is $2.5 million or higher, unless 75 percent or more of their income is 
derived from farming, ranching, and/or forestry; and the rules for 
conservation compliance, and controlled substances apply.

Summary of Cost-Benefit Analysis

    As a result of extensive crop damage from these five hurricanes, 
261 counties in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North 
Carolina, and Texas were designated as Presidential and Secretarial 
primary disaster counties. Production losses for the three most 
devastating of storms, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, are estimated to total 
$2.1 billion. A wide variety of crops were damaged because of the 
diversity of production in the affected areas. Damaged crops include 
feed grains, soybeans, upland cotton, rice, sugarcane, nursery plants, 
fruits, vegetables, pecans, pasture, livestock, poultry, and 
aquaculture. The numbers of designated counties listed by states are as 
follows:
     Alabama--40 counties suffered under Dennis and/or Katrina.
     Florida--36 counties suffered under Dennis, Katrina, and/
or Wilma.
     Louisiana--64 counties suffered under Katrina and Rita.
     Mississippi--82 counties suffered under Katrina.
     North Carolina--10 counties under Ophelia.
     Texas--29 counties under Rita.
    HIP payments will provide additional crop loss assistance to 
restore purchasing power to producers affected by the named hurricanes. 
According to the Risk Management Agency (RMA) crop loss indemnities 
were approximately $291 million. Based on the participation rates in 
the hurricane-impacted States, it is estimated that approximately $16.6 
million will be issued under NAP. Thus, HIP payments are estimated to 
total a maximum of $60 million.
    The value of expected claims under the 2005 FIP is $30 million. To 
the extent program payments are ultimately spent on forage or grain or 
affect the total supply of available livestock, the impacts of the FIP 
on any sector of the economy, including livestock feed prices, 
livestock prices, and consumer prices, are not expected to be 
measurable. The effect on aggregate social welfare of any slight 
redistribution of wealth and income resulting from the expected $30 
million in 2005 FIP payment claims is expected to be so slight as to be 
immeasurable. However, for those producers who have suffered losses due 
to the 2005 hurricanes, and qualify for payments under the FIP, their 
farm income losses will be somewhat offset or reduced by these 
payments, and they and their local communities will benefit 
accordingly.
    The value of expected claims under the 2006 LIP is $16.9 million, 
but could be higher by an unknown but likely small magnitude as actual 
applications for aid are submitted, or smaller to the extent that 
payments are bound by the $80,000 maximum payment or the $2.5 gross 
income limit for applicants. To the extent program payments are 
ultimately spent on forage or grain or affect the total supply of 
available livestock, the impacts of the LIP on any sector of the 
economy, including livestock feed prices, livestock prices, and 
consumer prices, are not expected to be measurable. The effect on 
aggregate social welfare of any slight redistribution of wealth and 
income resulting from the expected $16.9 million in 2006 LIP payment 
claims is also expected to be so slight as to be immeasurable. However, 
for those producers who have suffered losses due to the 2005 
hurricanes, and qualify for payments under the LIP, their farm income 
losses will be somewhat offset or reduced by these payments, and they 
and their local communities will benefit accordingly.
    Cost of the TIP is expected to be between $32.3 million and $64.6 
million with a point estimate of $37.7 million. Over 90 percent the 
program funds will go to the Florida citrus industry.
    Funding of $25 million is being provided for assistance to 
aquaculture producers. Aquaculture grants will be made available to 
State governments as follows: Alabama, $5,037,500; Florida, $3,662,500; 
Louisiana, $4,512,500; Mississippi, $10,762,500; North Carolina, 
$312,500; and Texas, $712,500. It is likely that a preponderance of the 
assistance will be provided to crawfish operations, with most of the 
balance going to catfish producers. The total amount of funding is 
expected to be expended.

Notice and Comment

    In general, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), as codified at 
5 U.S.C. 553, requires that notice of proposed rulemaking shall be 
published in the Federal Register and interested persons must be given 
an opportunity to participate in the rulemaking through submission of 
written data, views, or arguments with or without opportunity for oral 
presentation. This applies except to the extent there is involved a 
military or foreign affairs function of the United States or a matter 
relating to agency management or personnel or to public property, 
loans, grants, benefits, or contracts. Such notice is not required 
under the APA, however, when an agency publishes interpretative rules, 
general statements of policy, or rules of agency organization, 
procedure, or

[[Page 27190]]

practice. Further, such notice is not required when the agency for good 
cause finds that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, 
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. However, the Statement 
of Policy of the Secretary of Agriculture effective July 24, 1971, 36 
FR 13804 (July 24, 1971) (Statement), notes that the advantages of such 
APA requirements of permitting greater public participation in the 
formulation of rules generally outweighs any disadvantages such as 
increased costs or delays, when publishing rules related to public 
property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts. As such, the Statement 
recommends notice of proposed rulemaking when formulating such rules. 
Nevertheless, like the APA, under this Statement, exemptions from such 
requirements are permitted where an agency, for good cause, finds that 
compliance would be impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the 
public interest, and only when there is a substantial basis.
    For the programs referenced in this regulation, FSA finds that a 
substantial basis exists for publishing this rule as interim final. It 
would be impracticable and contrary to public interest to delay 
implementation of this rule because it would significantly delay 
assistance under these section 32 programs to the many people who 
suffered losses and were affected by the 2005 Hurricanes. Such delay in 
implementation could possibly cause irreparable and additional damage 
to those who have already suffered losses as a result of the 2005 
Hurricanes. This interim rule is thus effective immediately. However, 
public comments are still invited and will be considered to the extent 
practicable in the promulgation of the final rule.

Executive Order 12866

    This rule has been determined to be economically significant under 
Executive Order 12866 and has been reviewed by the Office of Management 
and Budget. A Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) was completed and is 
available from the contact person cited above.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This rule is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act since 
the Farm Service Agency is not required by 5 U.S.C. 553 or any other 
law to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for this rule.

Environmental Review

    The environmental impacts of this rule have been considered 
consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), 
42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., the regulations of the Council on Environmental 
Quality (40 CFR parts 1500 1508), and regulations of the Farm Service 
Agency (FSA) of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) for compliance 
with NEPA, 7 CFR part 799. An Environmental Evaluation was completed 
and it was determined that this action does not have the potential to 
significantly impact the quality of the human environment and, 
therefore, the rule is categorically excluded from further review under 
NEPA. A copy of the environmental evaluation is on file and available 
to the public in the Administrative Record at the address specified in 
the ADDRESSES section of this rule.

Executive Order 12372

    This program is not subject to the provisions of Executive Order 
12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and 
local officials. See the Notice related to 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, 
published at 48 FR 29115 (June 24, 1983).

Executive Order 12612

    This rule does not have Federalism implications that warrant the 
preparation of a Federalism Assessment. This rule will not have a 
substantial direct effect on States or their political subdivisions, or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
levels of government.

Executive Order 12988

    This rule has been reviewed in accordance with Executive Order 
12988. This interim rule is not retroactive and it does not preempt 
State law. Before any judicial action may be brought regarding the 
provisions of this rule the administrative appeal provisions of 7 CFR 
parts 11 and 780 must be exhausted.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    This rule contains no Federal mandates under the regulatory 
provisions of Title II of the UMRA for State, local, and tribal 
government or the private sector. Therefore, this rule is not subject 
to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the information collection 
required to support this program and assigned it OMB Control number 
0560-0257. Copies of the information collection may be obtained from 
Debbie O'Donoghue, phone: (202) 720-6605; e-mail: 
Debbie.Odonoghue@wdc.usda.gov.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996

    This rule has been determined to be Major under the Small Business 
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, (Pub. L. 104-121) 
(SBREFA). SBREFA normally requires that an agency delay the effective 
date of a major rule for 60 days from the date of publication to allow 
for Congressional review. Section 808 of SBREFA allows an agency to 
make a major regulation effective immediately if the agency finds there 
is good cause to do so. Accordingly, FSA finds that it would be 
contrary to the public interest to delay implementation of this rule 
because it would significantly delay assistance to the many people 
affected by the hurricane disasters addressed by this rule. This rule 
is thus effective immediately.

Government Paperwork Elimination Act

    FSA is committed to compliance with the Government Paperwork 
Elimination Act (GPEA) and the Freedom to E-File Act, which require 
Government agencies in general and FSA in particular to provide the 
public the option of submitting information or transacting business 
electronically to the maximum extent possible. The regulation is 
available at https://www.fsa.usda.gov under the heading `Other 
Partners.' Applications may be submitted at the FSA county offices, by 
mail or by FAX.
