Abstract:
This information collection is needed for FSA to determine eligibility for and the amout of Market Facilitation Program payments for producers of eligible crops and commodities. FSA requires each producer to complete and sign the application form in order to be eligible for MFP.
Emergency Justfication:
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is currently implementing the MFP. FSA is requesting emergency approval by August 20, 2018, to provide payments quickly to the producers. Under MFP, financial assistance will be made available with respect to certain agricultural commodities under section 5 of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714c) which authorizes CCC to assist in the disposition of surplus commodities and to increase the domestic consumption of agricultural commodities by expanding or aiding in the expansion of domestic markets or by developing or aiding in the development of new and additional markets, marketing facilities, and uses for such commodities. The MFP payments will aid producers in the disposition of surplus commodities and aid in the expansion of domestic markets or aid in the development of new and additional markets and uses for the specific crops or commodities that are negatively impacted by actions of foreign governments.
