Title: Karnal Bunt Compensation 
Abstract: This action would amend the Karnal bunt regulations to provide for the payment of compensation to certain growers, handlers, and harvesters of grain and seed affected by Karnal bunt who are not currently eligible for compensation, and for certain wheat grown outside a regulated area that was commingled with wheat grown in a newly regulated area. It would also provide for the payment of compensation to custom harvesters and owners or lessees of other equipment for losses they incur by complying with the regulations. Compensation would be made available for all crop seasons after the final rule becomes effective. This action would generalize the provisions of two interim rules that provided compensation for specific situations that arose in four newly regulated counties in Texas during the 2000-2001 crop season. The payment of compensation is necessary in order to encourage the participation of, and obtain cooperation from, affected individuals in our efforts to contain and reduce the prevalence of Karnal bunt.
