Abstract:
Section 1001 of the American Recovery Act of 2021, P.L. 117-2 provided funding for fiscal year 2022 (FY22) to the Secretary of Agriculture to provide assistance to maintain and improve food and agricultural supply chain resiliency. The purpose of the Food Supply Chain (FSC) Guaranteed loan is to make funds available to qualified applicants and projects to facilitate financing for the start-up or expansion of activities in the middle of the food supply chain, particularly the aggregation, processing, manufacturing, storing, transporting, wholesaling, or distribution of food, to increase capacity and help create a more resilient, diverse, and secure U.S. food supply chain.
Emergency Justfication:
An emergency clearance approval for this information collection is requested due to the need to effectively implement the program as quickly as possible to benefit rural communities. Additionally, this program serves as a pilot program to inform other programs under the Build Back Better Initiative, including the Meat & Poultry Supply Chain Resiliency Initiative and other programs authorized under Section 1001 of the American Rescue Plan. In a congressional hearing, the Secretary of Agriculture stated that these other programs would be operational by March 2022. Data from the FSC Guaranteed Loan Program is critical to the programs' development and success and is needed to help the Department meet this timeline.
