{"abstract":"This rule implements the new Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) Programs authorized by the Agricultural Act of 2014 (the 2014 Farm Bill). It also includes conforming changes to certain Farm Service Agency (FSA) regulations that apply to multiple programs. ARC and PLC provide producers a choice between a program that provides counter-cyclical type of payment support--PLC, and a revenue support type of program--ARC. During a defined election period, current producers can elect different programs for different covered commodities on a farm, for example, choosing PLC for corn and ARC county option for soybeans on the same farm. ARC offers the additional choice of a revenue guarantee based on average revenue for a county or on actual historical revenue for an individual farm. If a producer elects ARC individual coverage based on historical revenue for that specific farm, however, all the farm's covered commodities are elected with that option, with no option for PLC on that farm. This rule specifies the eligibility requirements, enrollment procedures, and payment calculations for ARC and PLC.","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":"Farm Service Agency","name":"Farm Service Agency","id":157,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/farm-service-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/157","parent_id":12,"slug":"farm-service-agency"},{"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/2014/09/26/2014-22879.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":718,"title":7},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1412,"title":7},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1416,"title":7}],"citation":"79 FR 57703","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective date: September 26, 2014.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2014-22879","effective_on":"2014-09-26","end_page":57721,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/09/26/2014-22879.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/09/26/2014-22879/agriculture-risk-coverage-and-price-loss-coverage-programs","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2014-22879?publication_date=2014-09-26","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-09-26/2014-22879/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":19,"page_views":{"count":1470,"last_updated":"2026-07-28 12:15:07 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-09-26/pdf/2014-22879.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-22879.pdf?1411648971","publication_date":"2014-09-26","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/09/26/2014-22879.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"0560-AI24":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["0560-AI24"],"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":"2014-10-16T06:00:10Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":57703,"subtype":null,"title":"Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage Programs","toc_doc":"Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage Programs","toc_subject":null,"topics":["Acreage allotments","Cotton","Dairy products","Drug traffic control","Feed grains","Indemnity payments","Loan programs-agriculture","Marketing quotas","Oilseeds","Peanuts","Pesticides and pests","Price support programs","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Rice","Soil conservation","Wheat"],"type":"Rule","volume":79}
