Title: Sugar Program 
Abstract: The regulations in 7 CFR part 1435 for the Sugar Program are being modified to account for new provisions in the 2008 Farm Bill. The April 2009 final rule implemented general changes to the Sugar Program. The proposed rule would add a Feedstock Flexibility Program for Bioenergy Producers to dispose of anticipated surplus sugar supply in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) region. (NOTE: The Feedstock Flexibility Program has not been required due to record high sugar prices.)
