and implemented under regulations
issued at 7 CFR Part 1437. The NAP is
administered under the general
supervision of the Executive VicePresident of the Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC) (who also serves as
Administrator, Farm Service Agency
(FSA)), and is carried out by the FSA
State and County committees. NAP is
intended to reduce financial losses that
occur when natural disasters cause a
catastrophic loss of production or
prevented planting of an eligible crop by
providing coverage equivalent to the
catastrophic risk protection level of
Federal Crop Insurance. NAP provides
assistance for losses of floriculture,
ornamental nursery, Christmas tree
crops, turfgrass sod, seed crops,
aquaculture (including ornamental fish),
sea oats and sea grass, and industrial
crops. FSA will collect information
using several forms.
Need and Use of the Information: The
information collected is necessary to
determine whether a producer and crop
or commodity meet applicable
conditions for assistance and to
determine compliance with existing
rules. Producers must annually: (1)
Request NAP coverage by completing an
application for coverage and paying a
service fee by the CCC-established
application closing date; (2) file a
current crop-year report of acreage for
the covered crop or commodity; and (3)
certify production of each covered crop
or commodity. The information
collected allows CCC to provide
assistance under NAP for losses of
commercial crops or other agricultural
commodities (except livestock) for
which catastrophic risk protection
under 7 U.S.C. Section 1508 is not
available, and that are produced for food
or fiber. If information is not collected
FSA will not be able to identify and
determine eligible participants and
crops being planted or produced, or
provide assistance to agricultural
producers who as a result of natural
disaster have suffered catastrophic
losses of agricultural crops or
commodities.
