USDA/FAS RIN: 0551-AA72 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: ●Market Access Program (MAP) 
Abstract: The MAP forms a partnership between non-profit U.S. agricultural trade associations, U.S. agricultural cooperatives, non-profit State-regional trade groups, small businesses, and USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation to share the costs of overseas marketing and promotional activities such as consumer promotions, market research, trade shows, and trade servicing. The proposed rule revises and amends the USDA Commodity Credit Corporation’s MAP regulations, 7 CFR 1485. These revisions are intended to improve the program’s effectiveness and efficiency; revise outdated language, including incorporating the organizational changes resulting from FAS’ recent reorganization; and provide detailed clarifications to such topics as application requirements, participant eligibility, the review/allocation/compliance processes, reimbursement rules, and contracting and risk management procedures.
