{"abstract":"This rule implements specific requirements for the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP), Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), Tree Assistance Program (TAP), and general provisions for Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance Programs authorized by the Agricultural Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill). Although there were similar disaster programs under the 2008 Farm Bill, the authority for those programs has expired. The 2014 Farm Bill reauthorizes these programs and they are similar to the 2008 programs, however, there are distinct changes in payment limits, eligible losses, and eligible causes of loss from prior programs. Eligible ELAP, LFP, LIP, and TAP losses must have occurred on or after October 1, 2011 to be eligible for payment. This rule specifies how ELAP, LFP, LIP, and TAP payments are calculated, what losses are eligible, and when producers may apply for payments. Additionally, this final rule implements changes required by the 2014 Farm Bill by amending the regulations that specify maximum income limits (payment eligibility) and maximum benefit amounts (payment limits) for participants in programs funded by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and some FSA programs. The intended effect of the eligibility requirements is to ensure that program payments and benefits are issued only to those persons and legal entities that meet the income eligibility requirements as specified in the 2014 Farm Bill, and that program participants do not receive any program payments above the maximum allowable payment amount. The payment limits and average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) limits in this final rule apply to 2014 and subsequent crop, program, or fiscal year benefits, and to benefits for programs that were authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill for retroactive 2012 or 2013 crop, program, or fiscal year benefits.","action":"Final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Commodity Credit Corporation","name":"Commodity Credit Corporation","id":76,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commodity-credit-corporation","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/76","parent_id":12,"slug":"commodity-credit-corporation"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2014/04/14/2014-08067.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1400,"title":7},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1416,"title":7}],"citation":"79 FR 21086","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: April 14, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2014-08067","effective_on":"2014-04-14","end_page":21118,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/04/14/2014-08067.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/04/14/2014-08067/supplemental-agricultural-disaster-assistance-programs-payment-limitations-and-payment-eligibility","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2014-08067?publication_date=2014-04-14","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-04-14/2014-08067/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":33,"page_views":{"count":1847,"last_updated":"2026-07-28 12:15:07 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-04-14/pdf/2014-08067.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-08067.pdf?1397247809","publication_date":"2014-04-14","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/04/14/2014-08067.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0560-AI21":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0560-AI21"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Request for Applications: Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program for Fiscal Year 2021","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0408"},{"title":"Funding Availability: Applications for the Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops Program","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0347"},{"title":"Funding Availability: Inviting Applications for the Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0346"},{"title":"Funding Availability: Inviting Applications for the Quality Samples Program","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0345"},{"title":"Funding Availability: Inviting Applications for the Emerging Markets Program","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0344"},{"title":"Funding Availability: Applications for the Market Access Program","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0343"},{"title":"Funds Availability: Cancellation of the Farm-to-Fleet Feedstock Program Biofuel Production Incentive","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0338"},{"title":"Funding Availability: Dairy Assistance Program for Puerto Rico in Response to 2017 Hurricanes","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0337"},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0336"},{"title":"Funding Availability: Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops Program","document_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0334"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=CCC_FRDOC_0001","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Recently Posted CCC Rules and Notices.","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2014-05-04T06:00:13Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":21086,"subtype":null,"title":"Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance Programs, Payment Limitations, and Payment Eligibility","toc_doc":"Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance Programs, Payment Limitations, and Payment Eligibility","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Agriculture","Dairy products","Indemnity payments","Loan programs-agriculture","Pesticides and pests","Price support programs","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements"],"type":"Rule","volume":79}
