[FR Doc. 2020–20789 Filed 9–17–20; 4:15 pm] BILLING CODE 6760–01–P VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:14 Sep 18, 2020 Jkt 250001 Office of the Secretary, USDA. Correcting amendments. The Secretary of Agriculture implemented the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), which provides assistance to agricultural producers impacted by the effects of the COVID–19 outbreak, through a final rule published in the Federal Register on May 21, 2020. This correction clarifies the eligibility of barley and livestock. DATES: Effective September 21, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William L. Beam; telephone: (202) 720– 3175; email: Bill.Beam@usda.gov. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication should contact the USDA Target Center at (202) 720–2600 (voice). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects the CFAP regulations in 7 CFR part 9, which were implemented in the final rule that was published in the Federal Register on May 21, 2020 (85 FR 30825–30835). This is the fourth set of corrections. The first set of corrections was published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2020 (85 FR 35799–35800), the second set of corrections was published in the Federal Register on July 10, 2020 (85 FR 41328–41330), and the third set of corrections was published in the Federal Register on August 14, 2020 (85 FR 49593–49594). This document augments those corrections. This document corrects 7 CFR 9.1(a) to clarify the meaning of ‘‘produced in the United States’’ as it relates to imported livestock. CFAP payments to livestock producers are based on the sum of two calculations. The first calculation is intended to compensate producers for losses due to price declines that occurred between midJanuary 2020 and mid-April 2020, and is based on livestock sold between January 15, 2020, and April 15, 2020. The second calculation is intended to address on-going market disruptions and assist with the transition to a more orderly marketing system. It is based on the producer’s highest livestock inventory owned on a date between April 16, 2020, and May 14, 2020. This document specifies that to be SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 considered ‘‘produced in the United States,’’ livestock sold between January 15, 2020, and April 15, 2020, must have been physically located in the United States as of January 15, 2020, and must have remained in the United States until they were sold. For imported livestock inventory owned between April 16, 2020, and May 14, 2020, ‘‘produced in the United States’’ means that the livestock must have been physically located in the United States on the applicable date for which the producer is reporting their highest owned inventory, because producers have been incurring and continue to incur additional marketing costs related to the COVID–19 pandemic for those livestock. This document amends the definition of ‘‘non-specialty crop’’ in § 9.2 and Table 2 in § 9.5(h) to specify that CFAP eligibility for barley is not limited only to malting barley. All barley is eligible for CFAP assistance. The changes in this document are consistent with the original intent of USDA in creating and administering CFAP and are not expected to increase expected costs. List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 9 Agricultural commodities, Agriculture, Disaster assistance, Indemnity payments. Accordingly, 7 CFR part 9 is corrected by making the following correcting amendments: PART 9—CORONAVIRUS FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM 1. The authority citation for part 9 continues to read as follows: ■ Authority: 15 U.S.C. 714b and 714c; and Division B, Title I, Pub. L. 116–136. 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Discussion The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020–0176, dated August 5, 2020 (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A319–151N and –153N; A320–251N, –252N, and –253N; and A321–251N, –252N, –253N, –251NX, –252NX, and –253NX airplanes. This AD was prompted by a report indicating that Kathon FP 1.5 biocide added to fuel and running through an airplane’s engines can lead to engine performance degradation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address airplanes operated with fuel mixed with Kathon FP 1.5 biocide, which could result in reduced engine performance, resulting in reduced controllability of the airplane.

Coronavirus Food Assistance Program; Correction

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary of Agriculture implemented the Coronavirus Food 
Assistance Program (CFAP), which provides assistance to agricultural 
producers impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak, through a 
final rule published in the Federal Register on May 21, 2020. This 
correction clarifies the eligibility of barley and livestock.

DATES: Effective September 21, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William L. Beam; telephone: (202) 720-
3175; email: [email protected]. Persons with disabilities who require 
alternative means for communication should contact the USDA Target 
Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects the CFAP regulations 
in 7 CFR part 9, which were implemented in the final rule that was 
published in the Federal Register on May 21, 2020 (85 FR 30825-30835). 
This is the fourth set of corrections. The first set of corrections was 
published in the Federal Register on June 12, 2020 (85 FR 35799-35800), 
the second set of corrections was published in the Federal Register on 
July 10, 2020 (85 FR 41328-41330), and the third set of corrections was 
published in the Federal Register on August 14, 2020 (85 FR 49593-
49594). This document augments those corrections.
    This document corrects 7 CFR 9.1(a) to clarify the meaning of 
``produced in the United States'' as it relates to imported livestock. 
CFAP payments to livestock producers are based on the sum of two 
calculations. The first calculation is intended to compensate producers 
for losses due to price declines that occurred between mid-January 2020 
and mid-April 2020, and is based on livestock sold between January 15, 
2020, and April 15, 2020. The second calculation is intended to address 
on-going market disruptions and assist with the transition to a more 
orderly marketing system. It is based on the producer's highest 
livestock inventory owned on a date between April 16, 2020, and May 14, 
2020. This document specifies that to be considered ``produced in the 
United States,'' livestock sold between January 15, 2020, and April 15, 
2020, must have been physically located in the United States as of 
January 15, 2020, and must have remained in the United States until 
they were sold. For imported livestock inventory owned between April 
16, 2020, and May 14, 2020, ``produced in the United States'' means 
that the livestock must have been physically located in the United 
States on the applicable date for which the producer is reporting their 
highest owned inventory, because producers have been incurring and 
continue to incur additional marketing costs related to the COVID-19 
pandemic for those livestock.
    This document amends the definition of ``non-specialty crop'' in 
Sec.  9.2 and Table 2 in Sec.  9.5(h) to specify that CFAP eligibility 
for barley is not limited only to malting barley. All barley is 
eligible for CFAP assistance.
    The changes in this document are consistent with the original 
intent of USDA in creating and administering CFAP and are not expected 
to increase expected costs.
