USDA/FCIC RIN: 0563-AB98 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Common Crop Insurance Regulations, Tobacco Crop Insurance Provisions 
Abstract: The purpose of this rule is to solicit public comments on FCIC’s proposed action to remove and reserve section 457.156, Quota Tobacco Crop Insurance Provisions, and to revise Guarantee Tobacco Crop Insurance Provisions as Tobacco Crop Insurance Provisions. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 eliminated the USDA Tobacco Marketing Quota Regulations and price support program by FSN as administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). The revisions will remove references to quota and add coverage for tobacco grown under a processor contract.
