{"abstract":"The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) is revising regulations as required by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill) to administer loan and payment programs for upland cotton and extra-long staple (ELS) cotton producers and establishing new regulations to specify payment provisions for domestic users of upland cotton. The 2008 Farm Bill generally extends the existing upland cotton and ELS cotton programs with some changes in calculations of the adjusted world price (AWP) and loan schedules for upland cotton. The new program for economic adjustment assistance for domestic users of upland cotton will pay a statutorily specified rate per pound and provides that such payments may only be used for capital investments (for example, plant, equipment, land, machinery).","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/2008/11/05/E8-26343.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":1427,"title":7}],"citation":"73 FR 65715","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective Date: October 31, 2008.
