Title: ●Seed Cotton Changes to Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) Programs, and Marketing Assistance Loans (MAL) 
Abstract:

The rule will make changes to the ARC and PLC Programs, and MAL regulations as required because the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 added seed cotton as a covered commodity and established a loan rate for seed cotton. Producers participating in ARC and PLC will be able to reallocate generic base acres and make a one-time election of ARC versus PLC for acres reallocated to seed cotton.  In addition, this rule will make minor clarifications to ARC and PLC Programs.
