Commodity Credit Corporation November 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This rule amends the regulations of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) governing payment limitation and payment eligibility and the limitation on the maximum allowable adjusted gross income (AGI) for program participants. Currently, 7 CFR part 1400, subpart G, exempts Indian tribes from all requirements of the AGI limitation for payment eligibility without providing a definition of Indian tribe. This rule defines ``Indian tribe'' consistent with the definition used by the United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and other rules utilized by CCC, FSA and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in their programs.

This notice sets forth the final 2005-crop and initial 2006- crop cane state allotments and company allocations to sugarcane and sugar beet processors. The 2005-crop year runs from October 1, 2005, through September 30, 2006 (fiscal year (FY) 2006). The 2006-crop (FY 2007) cane state allotments and company allocations are based on an 8.750 million short tons, raw value (STRV) overall allotment quantity (OAQ) of domestic sugar. These actions apply to all domestic sugar marketed for human consumption in the United States from October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2007. Although CCC already has announced all of the information in this notice, CCC is statutorily required to publish in the Federal Register determinations establishing, adjusting, or suspending sugar marketing allotments.

This document corrects a change made by a final rule published October 31, 2006 amending the regulations for the 2005 Dairy Disaster Assistance Payment Program (DDAP-II). A correction is needed because the final rule of October 31 incorrectly numbered the sections of the new subpart E that was added to 7 CFR part 1430.
