{"abstract":"This rule establishes provisions for providing agricultural disaster assistance as authorized by the Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 2019 (Disaster Relief Act). The Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+) will provide payments to eligible producers who suffered eligible crop, tree, bush, and vine losses resulting from hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and wildfires that occurred in the 2018 and 2019 calendar years. The On-Farm Storage Loss Program will provide payments to eligible producers who suffered uncompensated losses of harvested commodities stored in farm structures as a result of hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and wildfires that occurred in the 2018 and 2019 calendar years. The Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program (WHIP) Milk Loss Program will provide payments to eligible dairy operations for milk that was dumped or removed without compensation from the commercial milk market due to hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and wildfires that occurred in the 2018 and 2019 calendar years. This rule specifies the administrative provisions, eligibility requirements, application procedures, and payment calculations for WHIP+, On-Farm Storage Loss Program, and WHIP Milk Loss Program. As required by the Disaster Relief Act, this rule also expands eligibility for 2017 WHIP to include losses incurred from Tropical Storm Cindy, losses of peach and blueberry crops in calendar year 2017 due to extreme cold, and blueberry productivity losses in calendar year 2018 due to extreme cold and hurricane damage in calendar year 2017. This rule updates the regulations for the Tree Assistance Program (TAP) to provide assistance for eligible orchardists or nursery tree growers of pecan trees with a tree mortality rate that exceeds 7.5 percent (adjusted for normal mortality) and is less than 15 percent (adjusted for normal mortality) for losses incurred in calendar year 2018. Prevented planting supplemental disaster payments will provide support to producers who were prevented from planting eligible crops for the 2019 crop year due to excess precipitation, flood, storm surge, tornado, volcanic activity, tropical depressions, hurricanes, and cyclones in the 2019 calendar year. This rule specifies the administrative provisions, eligibility requirements, and payment calculations for prevented planting supplemental disaster payments.","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":"Federal Crop Insurance Corporation","name":"Federal Crop Insurance Corporation","id":163,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/federal-crop-insurance-corporation","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/163","parent_id":12,"slug":"federal-crop-insurance-corporation"},{"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/2019/09/13/2019-19932.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":460,"title":7},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":760,"title":7},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1416,"title":7}],"citation":"84 FR 48518","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective date: September 13, 2019.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket ID FSA-2019-0012"],"dockets":[{"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"}],"agency_name":"CCC","documents":[{"comment_count":0,"comment_start_date":"2019-09-13","updated_at":"2023-03-01T14:01:41.723-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/CCC_FRDOC_0001-0376","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001-0376","comment_end_date":"2019-11-13","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"CCC_FRDOC_0001","title":"Recently Posted CCC Rules and Notices."},{"supporting_documents":[],"agency_name":"FCIC","documents":[{"comment_count":1,"comment_start_date":"2019-09-13","updated_at":"2023-03-01T14:01:41.280-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FCIC_FRDOC_0001-0181","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"FCIC_FRDOC_0001-0181","comment_end_date":"2019-11-13","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"FCIC_FRDOC_0001","title":"Recently Posted FCIC Rules and Notices."},{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"WHIP+ CBA 9 6 2019","document_id":"FSA-2019-0012-0002"}],"agency_name":"FSA","documents":[{"comment_count":9,"comment_start_date":"2019-09-13","updated_at":"2023-03-01T14:01:40.812-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FSA-2019-0012-0001","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"FSA-2019-0012-0001","comment_end_date":"2019-11-13","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":1,"id":"FSA-2019-0012","title":"Agricultural Disaster Indemnity Programs.
