Title: Commodity Assessments; Loans, Purchases, and Other Operations 
Abstract: The regulations in 7 CFR part 1405 provide the CCC loan interest rate, delegations of authority for CCC programs and activities, crop insurance, etc. In the past, CCC asked commodity associations and other related entities to pay a fee to cover the administrative costs to implement commodity assessment collections, which included modification of the rate of collection or development of automation software. The 2008 Farm Bill prohibits us from charging this fee to recover our administrative costs for commodity assessments. Therefore, we are changing the regulation to remove the reference to that fee. This regulatory change applies solely to section 1405.9, Commodity Assessments. We will remove one phrase from one sentence of the regulations that refers to administrative costs incurred by CCC in the collection of the commodity assessment.
