Abstract: The information submitted by producers will be used by FSA to determine eligibility and distribute payments to eligible producers under EGSFP program.

Emergency Justfication: FSA is requesting EMERGENCY CLEARANCE in order for FSA to implement EGSFP provisions to provide financial assistance to producers affected by the December 2021 tornadoes that passed through eleven counties in Kentucky, as well as destroyed a large commercial grain elevator limiting a producer’s marketing and storage options, in the most expeditious and timely manner possible. Grain producers in Minnesota and South Dakota affected by the derecho (several thunderstorm and straight-line winds) that swept through these states and other identified states and eligible disaster events will also be eligible for EGSFP assistance. The Deputy Administrator of Farm Programs may determine other areas eligible for assistance. The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) reallocated $20 million under section 5(b) of the CCC Charter Act to the Farm Service Agency (FSA) to provide financial assistance. EGSFP provides eligible producers with financial assistance needed to support producers or groups of producers in their efforts to build emergency storage capacity. Funds will be available until expended. EGSFP is being implemented through a Notice of Funds Availability which is expected to be released in March 2023, and FSA expects to begin collecting this information immediately after. If FSA went through the normal PRA process, FSA would be unable to collect this information until July 2023 at the earliest. Doing so would delay USDA’s ability to provide relief to the effected producers.
