Title: Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP)
Abstract: We are revising the regulations in 7 CFR part 1437 to implement provisions of the 2008 Farm Bill for the Noninsured Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). The rule will increase service fees for NAP as specified in the Farm Bill, section 12028: From $100 per crop to $250 per crop, $300 per county to $750 per county, and $900 per multicounty producer to $1,875 per multicounty producer. The rule will incorporate the new groups for waivers. Sections 12033 and 15101 expand the waivers for NAP fees already available to limited resource farmers or ranchers to socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers or ranchers. This rule will also implement the provisions addressing eligibility of native sod acreage that is tilled for the production of an annual crop during the first five crop years of planting (not to include areas of five acres or less), and coverage for aquaculture producers that will now include all losses related to drought.
