National Agricultural Statistics Service National Agricultural Statistics Service National Agricultural Statistics ServiceFor necessary expenses of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, $161,830,000 $164,721,000, of which up to $37,908,000 $33,494,000 shall be available until expended for the Census of Agriculture. (7 U.S.C. 411, 411a, 411b, 427, 471, 475, 476, 501, 951, 953, 955-57, 2201, 2202, 2204, 2225, 2248, 3103, 3311, 3504; 18 U.S.C. 1902, 1905, 2072; 42 U.S.C. 1891-93; 44 U.S.C. 3501-11; 50 U.S.C. 2061 et seq., 2251 et seq.; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The 2011 request for NASS is an increase of $2.9 million from the 2010 enacted. Of that increase $1.7 million is for salary increases and $1.2 million represent net increases in programs, funding high priority program needs through reductions in lower prioritiy activities:The Service provides the official National and State estimates of acreage, yield, and production of crops, stocks, and value of farm commodities, and numbers of inventory values of livestock items. Data on approximately 120 crops and 45 livestock products are covered in over 500 reports issued each year. Detailed data are also collected on agricultural labor and expenditures. In addition, the Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years, which provides comprehensive data on the Nation's agricultural industry down to the county level. Incentives and promotional items are used by National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) to support outreach efforts to maximize response rates on surveys and the Census of Agriculture.The work under this activity is conducted through 46 field offices serving the 50 States and Puerto Rico; most of these offices are operated as joint State and Federal services. Cooperative arrangements with State agencies provide additional State and county data. The 2011 Budget request includes an increase of $5 million in county estimates to allow the first phase of implementation of new methodologies leading to more efficient and higher quality county-level estimates. These estimates are used by USDA agencies to administer various programs, including the Risk Management Agency's Group Risk Plan and Group Risk Income Protection. In support of the Administration priorities NASS also requests (1) an increase of $0.5 million in rotational organic agriculture to allow NASS to begin a comprehensive data series on organic production, handling and distribution; and (2) an increase of $0.8 million in remote sensing to allow USDA to expand the number of states that have a cropland data layer and provide NASS with the ability to collect additional data on crop conditions, soil moisture, and/or drought monitoring to fulfill an important international gap. The development of a web-accessible geo-spatial tool for crop progress and condition data will aid economic and policy analysis to help agriculture mitigate and adapt to climate change. To support these critical initiatives, and after a careful review of existing programs, NASS will eliminate the July Sheep and Goats Inventory survey. The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years to take a snapshot of America's agriculture. This picture, when compared to earlier censuses, helps to measure trends and new developments in the agricultural sector of our Nation's economy. The Census is critical because it provides the only source of comparable and consistent detailed data about agriculture at the county level. In order to support Administration priorities NASS carefully reviewed existing programs to determine where reductions could be taken. As a result of this review NASS recommends the following: the cancellation of the decennial 2010 Tenure, Ownership, and Transition of Agricultural Land (TOTAL), and the cancellation of the Census of Aquaculture.Miscellaneous funds received from local organizations, commodity groups, and others are available for dissemination of reports and for survey work conducted under cooperative agreements (7 U.S.C. 450b, 450h, 3318b).Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1801-0-1-3522009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(7 U.S.C. 328, 427, 427i, 1281 note, 1621, 2201, 2204, 2225, 3101 note; 10 U.S.C. 2306; 16 U.S.C. 590(a)-590(b), 590(k); 18 U.S.C. 1114; 19 U.S.C. 1306(a), 1306(c); 20 U.S.C. 191-194; 21 U.S.C. 114c, 114e-131; 42 U.S.C. 1476(e), 1483; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) is the principal in-house research agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The ARS mission is to conduct research to develop and transfer solutions to agricultural problems of high national priority and to provide information access and dissemination to: ensure high-quality, safe food, and other agricultural products; assess the nutritional needs of Americans; sustain a competitive agricultural economy; enhance the natural resource base and the environment; and provide economic opportunities for rural citizens, communities, and society as a whole. The ARS' mission is carried out through its major research program areas and other activities listed below (in italics).ARS major research programs--New Products/Product Quality/Value Added; Livestock/Crop Production; Food Safety; Livestock/Crop Protection; Human Nutrition; and Environmental Stewardship--address the Departments priorities. The ARS 2011 Salaries and Expenses (S&E) Budget requests $1.2 billion, an increase of $20 million from the 2010 Enacted level , and includes $10 million for salary increases. The request also includes $63 million for high priority increases, including $21 million to support programs in bioenergy, world hunger, obesity and climate change that were proposed in the 2010 Budget, as well as new increases in programs such as food safety, climate change, enhanced breeding for crop and animal production and security, development of sustainable agricultural systems, and enhanced plant, animal and microbial collections. The budget also continues funding for $9 million in 2010 Congressional increases that support the agency's mission. Reductions total $53 million and include $42 million in prior year earmarks and an additional $11 million in low priority projects. New Products/Product Quality/Value AddedARS has active research programs directed toward (1) improving the efficiency and reducing the cost for the conversion of agricultural products into biobased products and biofuels, (2) developing new and improved products to help establish them in domestic and foreign markets, and (3) providing higher quality, healthy foods that satisfy consumer needs in the United States and abroad.Environmental StewardshipWater Quality; Air/Soil Quality; Global Climate Change; Range/Grazing Lands; Agricultural Systems Integration.-ARS research programs in environmental stewardship support scientists at more than 70 locations. Emphasis is given to developing technologies and systems that support profitable production and enhance the Nations vast renewable natural resource base. ARS is currently developing the scientific knowledge and technologies needed to meet the challenges and opportunities facing U.S. agriculture in managing water resource quality and quantity under different climatic regimes, production systems, and environmental conditions. ARS air resources research is developing measurement, prediction, and control technologies for emissions of greenhouse gases, particulate matter, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds affecting air quality and land surface climate interactions. The agency is a leader in developing measurement and modeling techniques for characterizing gaseous and particulate matter emissions from agriculture. In addition, ARS is evaluating strategies for enhancing the health and productivity of soils, including developing predictive tools to assess the sustainability of alternative land management practices. Finding mechanisms to aid agriculture in adapting to changes in atmospheric composition and climatic variations is also an important component of ARS research program.ARS range and grazing land research includes the conservation and restoration of the Nations range land and pasture ecosystems and agroecosystems through improved management of fire, invasive weeds, grazing, global change, and other agents of ecological change. The agency is currently developing improved grass and forage legume germplasm for livestock, conservation, bioenergy, and bioproduct systems as well as grazing-based livestock systems that reduce risk and increase profitability. In addition, ARS is developing whole system management strategies to reduce production costs and risks.ARS livestock production program is directed toward (1) safeguarding and utilizing animal genetic resources, associated genetic and genomic databases, and bioinformatic tools; (2) developing a basic understanding of the physiology of livestock and poultry; and (3) developing information, tools, and technologies that can be used to improve animal production systems. The research is heavily focused on the development and application of genomics technology to increase the efficiency and product quality of beef, dairy, swine, poultry, aquaculture, and sheep systems. Current areas of emphasis include increasing efficiency of nutrient utilization, increasing animal well-being and reducing stress in production systems, increasing reproductive rates and breeding animal longevity, developing and evaluating non-traditional production systems (e.g., organic, natural), and evaluating and conserving animal genetic resources.ARS crop production program focuses on developing and improving ways to reduce crop losses while protecting and ensuring a safe and affordable food supply. The research program concentrates on effective production strategies that are environmentally friendly, safe to consumers, and compatible with sustainable and profitable crop production systems. Research activities are directed at safeguarding and utilizing plant genetic resources and their associated genetic, genomic, and bioinformatic databases that facilitate selection of varieties and/or germplasm with significantly improved traits. Current research activities attempt to minimize the impacts of crop pests while maintaining healthy crops and safe commodities that can be sold in markets throughout the world. ARS is conducting research to discover and exploit naturally occurring and engineered genetic mechanisms for plant pest control, develop agronomic germplasm with durable defensive traits, and transfer genetic resources for commercial use. ARS will be providing taxonomic information on invasive species that strengthens prevention techniques, aids in detection/identification of invasive pests, and increases control through management tactics that restore habitats and biological diversity. ARS animal health program is directed at protecting and ensuring the safety of the Nations agriculture and food supply through improved disease detection, prevention, control, and treatment. Basic and applied research approaches are used to solve animal health problems of high national priority. Emphasis is given to methods and procedures to control animal diseases. The research program has ten strategic objectives: (1) establish ARS laboratories into a fluid, highly effective research network to maximize use of core competencies and resources; (2) access specialized high containment facilities to study zoonotic and emerging diseases; (3) develop an integrated animal and microbial genomics research program; (4) establish centers of excellence in animal immunology; (5) launch a biotherapeutic discovery program providing alternatives to animal drugs; (6) build a technology driven vaccine and diagnostic discovery research program; (7) develop core competencies in field epidemiology and predictive biology; (8) develop internationally recognized expert collaborative research laboratories; (9) establish a best-in-class training center for our Nations veterinarians and scientists; and (10) develop a model technology transfer program to achieve the full impact of ARS research discoveries. ARS current animal research program includes eight core components: (1) biodefense research, (2) animal genomics and immunology, (3) zoonotic diseases, (4) respiratory disease, (5) reproductive and neonatal diseases, (6) enteric diseases, (7) parasitic diseases, and (8) transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.ARS research on crop protection is directed toward epidemiological investigations to understand pest and disease transmission mechanisms and to identify and apply new technologies that increase our understanding of virulence factors and host defense mechanisms. Currently, ARS research priorities include (1) identification of genes that convey virulence traits in pathogens and pests; (2) factors that modulate infectivity, gene functions, and mechanisms; (3) genetic profiles that provide specified levels of disease and insect resistance under field conditions; and (4) mechanisms that facilitate the spread of pests and infectious diseases.ARS is developing new knowledge and integrated pest management approaches to control pest and disease outbreaks as they occur. Its research will improve the knowledge and understanding of the ecology, physiology, epidemiology, and molecular biology of emerging diseases and pests. This knowledge will be incorporated into pest risk assessments and management strategies to minimize chemical inputs and increase production. Strategies and approaches will be available to producers to control emerging crop diseases and pest outbreaks.Assuring that the United States has the highest levels of affordable, safe food requires that the food system be protected at each stage from production through processing and consumption from pathogens, toxins, and chemical contaminants that cause diseases in humans. The U.S. food supply is very diverse, extensive, easily accessible, and thus vulnerable to the introduction of biological and chemical contaminants through natural processes, intentional means, or by global commerce. ARS current food safety research is designed to yield science-based knowledge on the safe production, storage, processing, and handling of plant and animal products, and on the detection and control of toxin producing and/or pathogenic bacteria and fungi, parasites, chemical contaminants, and plant toxins. All of ARS research activities involve a high degree of cooperation and collaboration with USDAs Research, Education, and Economics agencies, as well as with FSIS, APHIS, FDA, CDC, DHS, and the EPA. ARS also collaborates in international research programs to address and resolve global food safety issues. Specific research efforts are directed toward developing new technologies that assist ARS stakeholders and customers, that is, regulatory agencies, industry, and commodity and consumer organizations, in detecting, identifying, and controlling foodborne diseases that affect human health.Maintenance of health throughout the lifespan along with prevention of obesity and chronic diseases via food-based recommendations are the major emphases of ARS human nutrition research program. These health-related goals are based on the knowledge that deficiency diseases are no longer important public health concerns. Excessive consumption has become the primary nutrition problem in the American population. This is reflected by increased emphasis on prevention of obesity from basic science through intervention studies to assessments of large populations. ARS research program also actively studies bioactive components of foods that have no known requirement but have health promoting activities. Four specific areas of research are currently emphasized: (1) nutrition monitoring and the food supply, e.g., a national diet survey and the food composition databank; (2) dietary guidance for health promotion and disease prevention, i.e., specific foods, nutrients, and dietary patterns that maintain health and prevent disease; (3) prevention of obesity and related diseases, including research as to why so few of the population follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans; and (4) life stage nutrition and metabolism, in order to better define the role of nutrition in pregnancy and growth of children, and for healthier aging.Library and Information Services (NAL)The National Agricultural Library (NAL) is the largest and most accessible agricultural research library in the world. It provides services directly to the staff of USDA and to the public, primarily via the NAL Web site, http://www.nal.usda.gov. NAL was created with the USDA in 1862 and was named in 1962 a national library by Congress, as the primary agricultural information resource of the United States. NAL is the premier library for collecting, managing, and disseminating agricultural knowledge. The Library is the repository of our Nations agricultural heritage, the provider of world class information, and the wellspring for generating new fundamental knowledge and advancing scientific discovery. It is a priceless national resource that, through its services, programs, information products, and Web-based tools and technologies, serves anyone who needs agricultural information. The Library's vision is "advancing access to global information for agriculture." Repair and Maintenance of FacilitiesFunds are used to restore, upgrade, and maintain ARS facilities to meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration and EPA requirements, provide suitable workspace for in-house research programs, and to retrofit existing structures for better energy utilization.Collaborative Research ProgramFunds from the Department of State enable USDA/ARS to support collaborative research projects with scientists from the former Soviet Union and South/Southeast Asia. Through scientific cooperation in agricultural research, the USDA/ARS program supports the State Department's nonproliferation mission while advancing agricultural science by establishing new expertise in these regions, enhancing the effectiveness and productivity of ARS research programs, and helping improve the economy of these regions through advances in agricultural technology.ARS performs research activities and services for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies. These activities and services are paid for on a reimbursable basis.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1400-0-1-3522009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(7 U.S.C. 450i(c)(1)(B), 3292b, 3351, 7626; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) Under the Integrated Activities account, research, education and/or extension grants are awarded for competitive and non-competitive programs. International science and education grants programThis program focuses on incorporating substantive international activities into programs related to food systems, agriculture and natural resources at U.S. land-grant colleges and universities.Funds are proposed to develop early intervention strategies to prevent, manage or eradicate new and emerging diseases, both plant and animal, which would prevent loss of revenue to growers or producers.Regional rural development centersFunding supports activities that pursue a holistic development strategy that tailors programming to meet regional and local needs and addresses areas of opportunity arising from a consumer-driven agricultural economy.Sustainable Agriculture Federal-State Matching Grant Program. -This competitive program will assist in the creation or enhancement of State sustainable agriculture research, extension, and education programs. The matching requirement will leverage State and/or private money, and build the long-term capacity to guide the evolution of American agriculture to a more highly productive, sustainable system. Funding will support activities that integrate sustainable agriculture in all State research, extension, and education projects; support new research at sustainable agriculture centers at the nation's land grant and other colleges and universities; build stronger Statewide farmer-to-farmer networks and outreach and technical assistance strategies; and incorporate sustainable agriculture studies and curriculum in undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Food and agriculture defense initiative (homeland security)The program provides support to an unified network of public agricultural institutions to identify and respond to high risk biological pathogens in the food and agricultural system. In particular, funding will maintain and enhance risk management tools for Asian soybean rust and other pathogens of legumes. Additional funding for these laboratories is included in the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.Organic Agriculture Research and Extension InitiativeThis mandatory program, authorized by section 7206 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA), 2008 Farm Bill, supports research and extension programs that enhance the ability of producers and processors who have already adopted organic standards to grow and market high quality organic agricultural products.Specialty Crop Research InitiativeThis mandatory program, authorized by section 7311 of the FCEA, 2008 Farm Bill, provides funding to solve critical industry issues through research and extension activities that focus on research in plant breeding, genetics, and genomics to improve crop characteristics; efforts to identify and address threats from pests and diseases, including threats to specialty crop pollinators; efforts to improve production efficiency, productivity, and profitability over the long term; new innovations and technology, including improved mechanization and technologies that delay or inhibit ripening; and methods to prevent, detect, monitor, control, and respond to potential food safety hazards in the production and processing of specialty crops.The 2011 Budget provides a total of $25 million for this account, including an increase of $10 million for a Sustainable Agriculture Federal-State Matching Grant Program. This program will support competitive grants to integrate and elevate research, education, and extension activities to more widely benefit American agriculture, ensuring it is of the highest quality and that it is profitable. A decrease of $45 million is proposed to eliminate funding for Section 406 programs. Research, education, and extension topics previously supported under Section 406, can be supported by other competitive grants programs, including the Agriculture and Food Safety Initiative, which is funded at $429 million, an increase of $166 million above the enacted level.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1502-0-1-3522009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) participates in a nationwide system of agricultural research and education program planning and coordination between State institutions and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It assists in maintaining cooperation among the State institutions, and between the State institutions and their Federal research partners. The agency administers grants and payments to State institutions to supplement State and local funding for agricultural research and higher education.Agriculture and food research initiative competitive grantsSection 7406 of FCEA establishes the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). AFRI is a competitive grant program to provide funding for fundamental and applied research, extension, and education to address food and agricultural sciences. AFRI projects will address critical issues in U.S. agriculture in the areas of global food security and hunger; climate change; sustainable bioenergy; childhood obesity; and food safety. Addressing these critical issues will engage scientists and educators with expertise in plant health and production and plant products; animal health and production and animal products; food safety, nutrition, and health; renewable energy, natural resources, and environment; agricultural systems and technology; and agriculture economics and rural communities. AFRI allows greater flexibility in the types of projects funded to include: single function projects in research, education, and extension, and integrated research, education and/or extension awards. AFRI is the core competitive grant program for research, education, and extension.Payments under the Hatch ActFunds under the Hatch Act are allocated on a formula basis to agricultural experiment stations of the land-grant colleges in the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Micronesia, and Northern Mariana Islands. Cooperative forestry researchThese funds are allocated by formula to land-grant colleges or agricultural experiment stations in the 50 States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other State-supported colleges and universities having a forestry school and offering graduate training in forestry sciences. Animal health and disease researchFunds, distributed by formula, support livestock and poultry disease research in approximately sixty-seven colleges of veterinary medicine and in eligible agricultural experiment stations. Payments to 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University and West Virginia State UniversityFunds allocated on a formula basis support agricultural research and broaden the curricula at the eighteen 1890 land-grant colleges, including Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University.This program addresses research areas of national interest. Funding is proposed for grant programs in IR-4 minor crop pest management, pest management alternatives, and sustainable agriculture. Funding is also proposed for integrated pest management. Advances in these areas will provide producers with safe, alternative pest control methods resulting in more farmers increasing the number of acres on which Integrated Pest Management (IPM) methods are used. Funding proposed for IR-4 minor crop pest management and minor use animal drugs will address the growing need for registration of safe pesticides and drugs for minor crops and animals and lead to a reduction by half in the levels of chemical and drug residues in food products. These pest management programs will be coordinated to address Food Quality and Protection Act issues. The IR-4 and IPM programs are contained under improved pest control funding. Improved pest control also includes Pest Management Alternatives, and Expert IPM Decision Support System Programs. A grant program for global change is proposed for research at universities as part of a coordinated Federal initiative. Funding is also proposed for the National Biological Impact Assessment Program, aquaculture centers, critical agricultural materials, supplemental and alternative crops, Joe Skeen Institute for rangeland restoration, and New Era Rural Technology Program. The 2011 Budget eliminates funding for earmarks. 1994 Institutions ResearchFunding is proposed to continue the competitive research grants program to build the research capacity at the thirty-four 1994 institutions by supporting agricultural research activities that address tribal, national and multistate priorities.A coordinating and review staff assists in maintaining cooperation within and among the States, and between the States and their Federal research partners. This staff also administers research and education grants and payments to States. Federal administration is funded from a combination of program set-asides from formula and grant programs and from direct appropriation for administration.Funding is proposed for graduate fellowships grants, competitive challenge grants, Hispanic-serving institutions education grants program, and a multicultural scholars program. Funding is also proposed for Native American institutions, Alaska Native-serving and Native Hawaiian-serving Institutions, Secondary Education, Two-Year Postsecondary Education, Agriculture in the K-12 Classroom and Resident Instruction Grants for Insular Areas programs. These programs enable universities to broaden their curricula; increase faculty development; student research projects; and the number of new scholars recruited in the food and agricultural sciences. In addition, an increased number of graduate students, including minority graduate students, will be enrolled in the agricultural sciences. Funding is also proposed for a capacity building program at the 1890 institutions as part of the USDA initiative to strengthen these institutions through a broadening of curricula, increased faculty development and student research projects. Funding is proposed in the 2011 Budget for the Veterinary Medical Services Act to provide incentives to hire Federal veterinarians to work in shortage areas.Funds support basic and applied agriculture research and activities performed for other USDA, Federal, and non-Federal agencies.Native American Institutions Endowment FundThis program provides for an endowment for the 1994 land-grant institutions (34 Tribally controlled colleges) to strengthen the infrastructure of these institutions and develop Indian expertise for the food and agricultural sciences and businesses and their own communities. At the termination of each fiscal year, the Secretary withdraws the income from the endowment fund for the fiscal year, and after making adjustments for the cost of administering the fund, distributes the adjusted income on a formula basis to the 1994 land-grant institutions.Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities Endowment Fund.|95|This endowment fund for Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities will launch the production of skilled and marketable Hispanic student population for employment in the food and agriculture sector. Over the next ten years, the Endowment will lead to significant and measurable enhanced competence and marketability of Hispanic students in the food and agricultural sciences.The 2011 budget provides $429 million, an increase of $166.4 million for the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) competitive peer-reviewed grant program, to initiate growth focused on creative solutions for Presidential priorities of major domestic and world food and energy problems. Focus areas are bioenergy, global climate change, global food security, nutrition and health, and food safety. The 2011 budget also proposes an additional $5 million to help revitalize the rural economy through enhancements to education programs. The budget proposes $10 million for the establishment of the Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities Endowment Fund. In addition, total funding for NIFA reflects a reduction of $141 million in earmarks, with $121 million of the reduction included in this account and about $20 million of the reduction included in the "Extension Activities" account. Finally, funding for formula driven progams, such as the Hatch Act, McIntre-Stennis and Evans-Allen are funded at the enacted level.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1500-0-1-3522009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Cooperative Extension System, a national educational network, is a dynamic organization pledged to meeting the country's needs for research-based educational programs that will enable people to make practical decisions to improve their lives. To accomplish its mission, the Cooperative Extension System adjusts programs to meet the shifting needs and priorities of the people it serves.The nonformal educational network combines the expertise and resources of Federal, State, and local partners. The partners in this unique System are: (a) The National Institute of Food and Agriculture at the U.S. Department of Agriculture; (b) Extension professionals at land-grant universities throughout the United States and its territories; and (c) Extension professionals in nearly all of the Nation's 3,150 counties. Thousands of paraprofessionals and nearly 3 million volunteers support this partnership and magnify its impact. Strong linkages with both public and private external groups are also crucial to the Cooperative Extension System's strength and vitality.Programs supported with Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) legislated formula funds are the major educational efforts central to the mission of the System and common to most Extension units. These programs are the foundation of the Extension organization and partnership that are intended to increase the number of community-based projects, families, and individuals reached to disseminate research findings as widely and quickly as possible. The use of electronic mail, satellite transmission of courses, and computer-assisted instruction are encouraged to communicate ideas.Extension resources are provided to the States by these formula funds and competitively-awarded programs such as sustainable agriculture. Smith-Lever 3(b) and (c) funds and payments to the 1890 colleges and Tuskegee University and West Virginia State University provide funds to support the Extension's infrastructure. Funding for these programs is included in the 2011 Budget request. Funds for designated programs, funded by Smith-Lever 3(d) such as Youth-At-Risk and Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), provide support for the Cooperative Extension System to address identified priority issues.The FY 2011 Budget funds formula programs (Smith-Lever 3(b)(c) and Extension Programs at 1890's Institutions and Tuskegee University and West Virginia State Universities facilities), as well as other programs such as EFNEP, the children, youth and families at risk program, the youth farm safety education and certification program, and the pest management and rural health and safety programs at the enacted level. The Budget also includes increases for Indian reservation agents, Extension Services at 1994 Institutions and sustainable agriculture. In addition, total funding for NIFA reflects a reduction of 141 million in earmarks, with $20 million of the reduction included in this account and $121 million of the reduction included in the Research and Education Activities account.Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development ProgramThis mandatory program, authorized by section 7410 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA), 2008 Farm Bill, provides funding to support the development of education, outreach, curricula, workshops, educational teams, training, and technical assistance programs to assist beginning farmers and ranchers in the United States and its territories in entering, building, and managing successful farm and ranch enterprises. This program also will provide support for an online electronic and library clearinghouse to provide associated support to individually funded projects, and the overall program.Healthy Urban Food Enterprise DevelopmentThis mandatory program, authorized by section 4402 of the FCEA provides funding to be used to increase access to healthy affordable foods, including locally produced agricultural products, to underserved communities.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The major objective of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is to protect the health and value of American agriculture and natural resources against a variety of threats. To achieve this mission, APHIS has developed a protection system that is based on a strategic premise that safeguarding the health of animals, plants, and ecosystems makes possible safe agricultural trade and reduces losses to agricultural and natural resources. This mission is carried out under the five major areas of activity, as follows:Pest and disease exclusionAPHIS develops protocols for trade and travel to prevent the entry of plant or animal pests and diseases into the United States and conducts quarantines and treatments of regulated products. APHIS develops and conducts preclearance programs to ensure that agricultural products destined for U.S. ports-of-entry do not present a risk to U.S. agriculture. APHIS engages in cooperative programs in foreign countries to control pests of imminent concern to the United States. APHIS also certifies plants and plant products for export and regulates imports and exports of designated endangered plant species.Plant and animal health monitoringAPHIS conducts programs to assess animal and plant health and to detect endemic and exotic diseases and pests. The plant and animal health monitoring programs are primarily cooperative efforts of the Federal and State governments, and industry. APHIS also carries out surveys in cooperation with the States to detect harmful plant and animal pests and diseases and to determine if there is a need for pest eradication programs. Pest and disease management programsAPHIS carries out programs to control and eradicate infestations and animal diseases that threaten the United States; to reduce agricultural losses caused by predatory animals, birds, and rodents; to provide technical assistance to States, counties, farmer or rancher groups, and foundations; and to ensure compliance with interstate movement and disease control regulations. Interstate shipments of plants, livestock, and related materials are monitored and regulated to prevent the spread of disease. APHIS protects agriculture from detrimental animal predators through identification, demonstration, and application of the most appropriate methods of control. The budget for a number of programs is based on cost-share criteria for Federal and non-Federal partners to respond to a plant and animal infestation.APHIS conducts regulatory activities that ensure the humane care and handling of animals used in research, exhibition, or the wholesale pet trade. APHIS is also responsible for administering the Horse Protection Act, which prohibits the showing, selling, or exhibition of sore horses.Scientific and technical servicesAPHIS develops methods to control animals and pests that are detrimental to agriculture, other wildlife, and public safety. APHIS regulates genetic research to guard against the release of potentially harmful organisms into the environment. APHIS also conducts veterinary diagnostic laboratory activities and biologic regulatory enforcement to ensure that the products developed for combatting disease are potent, safe, and pure. It also provides and directs technology development in coordination with other groups in APHIS to support programs of APHIS and its cooperators at the State, national, and international levels.The 2011 Budget includes an additional $8 million for the cost of salary increases. In addition, there are specific increases in monitoring and surveillance and scientific and technical programs totaling $19 million and reductions in a number of programs, including cotton pests, which is nearing the end of its eradication activities; screwworm, which has closed its facility in Mexico and completed its relocation to the new facility in Darien, Panama; and Avian Influenza, due to past activities that have reduced the global risk of the spread of influenza among animals, including in North America. In addition, there are a number of changes in pest and disease management programs, including increases for the Asian Longhorned Beetle (+$16 million) to respond to the recent discovery of ALB in Massachusetts, and for the Light Brown Apple Moth in California (+$10 million). There is also a reduction of $ 24 million in the Emerald Ash Borer program based on its conversion from an eradication to a control program, as well as the availability of large balances from prior years. The Budget also proposes to increase funding for enforcement of the Horse Protection Act from the authorized level of $500 thousand to $900 thousand due to the large number of animals whose owners and exhibitors are in violation of the Act. Finally, the Budget proposes to eliminate $27 million in earmarks that were funded in 2010.

(7 U.S.C. 450, 1901-06; 10 U.S.C. 2306; 18 U.S.C. 1114; 21 U.S.C. 451-470, 601-624, 641-645, 661, 671-680, 691-692; 694-695; Public Law 99-641; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The primary objective of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is to ensure that meat, poultry, and egg products are wholesome, unadulterated, and properly labeled and packaged, as required by the Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry Products Inspection Act, and the Egg Products Inspection Act. In carrying out this mission, FSIS oversight responsibility covers a significant percentage of American spending on food. Providing adequate resources for Federal food safety agencies is a priority of the Administration, and the 2011 Budget proposes an $18 million increase from the 2010 enacted funding level for inspection of meat, poultry, and egg products. The proposed budget for 2011 will cover increases for pay costs, upgrades to the agency's information system infrastructure, increased Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) testing, additional baseline studies, and strengthening of the public health epidemiology program. The decreases for 2011 include reductions in funding for the catfish inspection program , the Food Emergency Response Network (FERN), and other homeland security laboratory expenses. In addition, legislation will be submitted for two user fees. The first is a performance-based user fee, which will be charged to plants that have sample failures or require additional inspection activities due to a pattern of regulatory non-compliance. The second one is a flat fee for facility applications and annual renewal activities in order to cover the increased costs above those basic inspection services provided to meat, poultry or processed egg products establishments. The amount of this fee would be based on a plant's size. FEDERALLY FUNDED INSPECTION ACTIVITIESFEDERALLY FUNDED INSPECTION ACTIVITIES2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration salaries and expensesFor necessary expenses of the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, $41,964,000 $44,192,000: Provided, That this appropriation shall be available pursuant to law (7 U.S.C. 2250) for the alteration and repair of buildings and improvements, but the cost of altering any one building during the fiscal year shall not exceed 10 percent of the current replacement value of the building. (7 U.S.C. 71, 74-79, 84-87, 181-229, 1621-27; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration's (GIPSA) Grain Regulatory Program promotes and enforces the accurate and uniform application of the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA) and applicable provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. GIPSA identifies, evaluates, and implements new or improved techniques for measuring grain quality. GIPSA also establishes and updates testing and grading standards to facilitate the marketing of U.S. grain, oilseeds, and related products. GIPSA briefs foreign buyers, assesses foreign inspection and weighing techniques, and responds to foreign quality and quantity complaints. An advisory committee consisting of members from the grain industry exists to advise the Agency regarding efficient and economical implementation of the USGSA. The Grain Quality Improvement Act of 1986 was enacted on November 10, 1986, to improve the quality of U.S. grain by prohibiting the introduction and reintroduction of dockage and foreign material to grain. GIPSA's Packers and Stockyards Program (P&SP) promotes fair business practices, financial integrity, and competitive environments to market livestock, meat, and poultry. Through its oversight activities, including monitoring programs, reviews, and investigations, P&SP fosters fair competition, provides payment protection, and guards against deceptive and fraudulent trade practices that affect the movement and price of meat animals and their products. P&SP's work protects consumers and members of the livestock, meat, and poultry industries. P&SP enforces the Packers and Stockyards (P&S) Act, which prohibits unfair, deceptive, and unjust discriminatory practices by market agencies, dealers, stockyards, packers, swine contractors, and live poultry dealers in the livestock, meat packing, and poultry industries. The P&S Act provides an important safety net for livestock producers and poultry growers in rural America. P&SP conducts routine and ongoing regulatory inspections and audits to assess whether subject entities are operating in compliance with the Act, and conducts investigations of potential P&S Act violations identified by either industry complaints or previous GIPSA regulatory inspections. All activities are carried out by a cadre of specialists including economists, legal specialists, accountants, and agricultural marketing professionals.MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORSGrain Regulatory Program2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) Agricultural Marketing Service activities assist producers and handlers of agricultural commodities by providing a variety of marketing-related services. These services continue to become more complex as the volume of agricultural commodities increases, as a greater number of new processed commodities are developed, and as the agricultural market structure undergoes extensive changes. Marketing changes include increased concentration in food retailing, direct buying, decentralization of processing, growth of interregional competition, vertical integration, and contract farming.The individual Marketing Services activities include:The market news program provides the agricultural community with information pertaining to the movement of agricultural products. This nationwide service provides daily reports on the supply, demand, and price of over 700 commodities on domestic and foreign markets.Inspection, grading and standardizationNationally uniform standards of quality for agricultural products are established and applied to specific lots of products to: promote confidence between buyers and sellers; reduce hazards in marketing due to misunderstandings and disputes arising from the use of nonstandard descriptions; and encourage better preparation of uniform quality products for market. Grading services are provided on request for cotton and tobacco.Quarterly inspection of egg handlers and hatcheries is conducted to ensure the proper disposition of shell eggs unfit for human consumption.MARKET NEWS PROGRAM2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act Fund License fees are deposited in this special fund and are used to meet the costs of administering the Perishable Agricultural Commodities and the Produce Agency Acts (7 U.S.C. 491-497, 499a-499s).The Acts are intended to ensure equitable treatment to farmers and others in the marketing of fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables. Commission merchants, dealers, and brokers handling these products in interstate and foreign commerce are licensed. Complaints of violations are investigated and violations dealt with by (a) informal agreements between the two parties, (b) formal decisions involving payment of reparation awards, and/or (c) suspension or revocation of license and/or publication of the facts.The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act requires traders to have trust assets on hand to meet their obligations to fruit and vegetable suppliers. To preserve their trust and establish their rights ahead of other creditors, unpaid suppliers file notice with both the Department and their debtors that payment is due. The Act provides permanent authority to the Secretary of Agriculture to set license and reparation complaint filing fees.PERISHABLE AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES ACT ACTIVITIES2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Funds for Strengthening Markets, Income, and Supply (section 32) funds for strengthening markets, income, and supply (section 32)(including transfers of funds)Funds available under section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (7 U.S.C. 612c), shall be used only for commodity program expenses as authorized therein, and other related operating expenses, including $10,000,000 for replacement of a system to support commodity purchases, except for: (1) transfers to the Department of Commerce as authorized by the Fish and Wildlife Act of August 8, 1956; (2) transfers otherwise provided in this Act; and (3) not more than $20,056,000 $20,283,000 for formulation and administration of marketing agreements and orders pursuant to the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 and the Agricultural Act of 1961. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Agriculture Appropriations Act of 1935 established the Section 32 program (7 U.S.C. 612c) which provides that 30 percent of U.S. Customs receipts for each calendar year are transferred to this account within the Department of Agriculture. The purpose of the Section 32 program is three-fold: to encourage the exportation of agricultural commodities and products, to encourage domestic consumption of agricultural products by diverting them, and to reestablish farmers' purchasing power by making payments in connection with the normal production of any agricultural commodity for domestic consumption. There is also a requirement that the funds available under Section 32 shall be principally devoted to perishable agricultural commodities (e.g., fruits and vegetables). Program funds are used for a variety of purposes in support of the three primary purposes specified in the program's authorizing legislation. Funds may be used to stabilize market conditions through purchasing surplus commodities which are in turn, distributed to nutrition assistance programs. Program funds are also used to purchase commodities that are distributed to schools as part of Child Nutrition Programs entitlements. Furthermore, funds are transferred to the Food and Nutrition Service for commodity purchases under section 6 of the National School Lunch Act and other authorities specified in the Child Nutrition Programs appropriation.

Milk Market Orders Assessment Fund The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended under certain conditions to issue Federal milk marketing orders establishing minimum prices which handlers are required to pay for milk purchased from producers. There are currently 10 Federally-sanctioned milk market orders in operation. Market administrators are appointed by the Secretary and are responsible for carrying out the terms of specific marketing orders. Their operating expenses, partly financed by assessments on regulated handlers and partly by deductions from producers, are reported to the Agricultural Marketing Service. The majority of these funds are collected and deposited in checking and savings accounts in local banks, and disbursed directly by the market administrator. A portion of the funds collected are invested in securities such as certificates of deposit. Expenses of local offices are met from an administrative fund and a marketing service fund, which are prescribed in each order. The administrative fund is derived from prorated handler assessments. The marketing service fund of the individual order disseminates market information to producers who are not members of a qualified cooperative. It also provides for the verification of the weights, sampling, and testing of milk from these producers. The cost of these services is borne by such producers.The maximum rates for administrative assessment and for marketing services are set forth in each order and adjustments below these rates are made from time to time upon recommendations by the market administrator and upon approval of the Agricultural Marketing Service to provide reserves at about a six month operating level. Upon termination of any order, the statute provides for distributing the proceeds from net assets pro rata to contributing handlers or producers, as the case may be.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-8412-0-8-3512009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Administrative and Operating Expenses Risk Management AgencyFor necessary expenses of the Risk Management Agency, $80,325,000 $83,064,000: Provided, That the funds made available under section 522(e) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1522(e)) may be used for the Common Information Management System: Provided further, That not to exceed $1,000 shall be available for official reception and representation expenses, as authorized by 7 U.S.C. 1506(i). (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) This appropriation provides funding for the administrative and operating expenses of the Risk Management Agency (RMA). RMA manages the Federal Crop Insurance Program, which is authorized in the Federal Crop Insurance Act. The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill), amended the Federal Crop Insurance Act to authorize the use of existing mandatory funding for the modernization of the RMA information technology system and for the continuation of the RMA data mining operation. The data mining operation is a major component of RMA's efforts to safeguard taxpayer dollars by combating potential fraud and abuse. An additional tool that would help in that effort is the joint Farm Service Agency/RMA Common Information Management System (CIMS). Along with the request for funds to maintain RMA's ongoing operation and for adequate personnel to improve efforts to combat potential fraud and abuse, CIMS is proposed as an additional authorized use of the research and development funding in the Federal Crop Insurance Act.The Federal Crop Insurance Program is delivered through private insurance companies. Certain administrative expenses incurred by the companies are reimbursed through mandatory funding that is reflected in the Federal Crop Insurance Fund account.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-2707-0-1-3512009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

CORPORATIONSThe following corporations and agencies are hereby authorized to make expenditures, within the limits of funds and borrowing authority available to each such corporation or agency and in accord with law, and to make contracts and commitments without regard to fiscal year limitations as provided by section 104 of the Government Corporation Control Act as may be necessary in carrying out the programs set forth in the budget for the current fiscal year for such corporation or agency, except as hereinafter provided. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) Federal Crop Insurance User Fee Account Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Fund Federal Crop Insurance Corporation FundFor payments as authorized by section 516 of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1516), such sums as may be necessary, to remain available until expended. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC), a wholly-owned government corporation, provides multi-peril and catastrophic crop insurance protection against losses from unavoidable natural events. The crop insurance program is an integral part of the broad-based safety net and includes programs involving yield and revenue insurance, pasture, rangeland and forage, livestock, and other educational and risk mitigation initiatives/tools to manage risk. In crop year 2009, 281 million acres were insured, with an estimated $9.05 billion in total premium income, of which $5.24 billion was paid by the government in the form of premium subsidy.Commercial insurance companies deliver crop insurance. For producers who obtain Catastrophic Crop Insurance (CAT), which compensates the farmer for losses exceeding 50 percent of the individual's average yield at 55 percent of the expected market price, the premium is entirely subsidized. The cost to the producer for this type of coverage is an annual administrative fee of $300 per crop per county.Additional coverage is available to producers and is commonly referred to as "buy-up" coverage. Policyholders can elect to be paid up to 100 percent of the market price established by FCIC for each unit of production their actual yield is less than the individual yield guarantee. Premium rates for additional coverage depend on the level of protection selected and vary from crop to crop and county to county. Producers are assessed a fee of $30 per crop, per county, in addition to a share of the premium. The additional levels of insurance coverage are more attractive to farmers due to availability of optional units, other policy provisions not available with CAT coverage, and the ability to obtain a level of protection that permits them to use crop insurance as loan collateral and to achieve greater financial security.Revenue protection for specified products is provided by extending traditional multi-peril crop insurance protection, based on actual production history, to include price variability based on futures market prices. Revenue insurance provides a dollar amount of coverage, thereby insuring against losses due to low yields, low prices, or a combination of the two. FCIC is also piloting for two other policy types - Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) and Actual Revenue History (ARH). AGR provides protection against low revenue due to natural disasters and market fluctuations. The ARH plan of insurance provides a revenue based option for crops lacking an independent third party price discovery mechanism. In addition to insurance as a risk management tool, FCIC awarded research and development partnerships totaling over $3.2 million to develop risk management decision support tools.During 2010, USDA will be pursuing changes to the financial terms in the agreement it has with the companies, the Standard Reinsurance Agreement (SRA). The 2011 Budget Federal Crop Insurance Fund baseline projections reflects the expected outcome of the SRA negotiations. The expected total savings after negotiations are completed is $8 billion over 10 years. The following table illustrate Crop Year statistics as of September 30, 2009. Crop Year is generally all activity for crops from July 1-June 30 of a given year.2009 CY est.2010 CY est.2011 CY est.

The Corporation is authorized under the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, to use funds from the issuance of capital stock which provides working capital for the Corporation.Receipts, which are for deposit to this fund, mainly come from premiums paid by farmers. The principal payments from this fund are for indemnities to insured farmers, and administrative expenses for approved insurance providers.Premium subsidies are authorized by section 508(b) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act, as amended, and are received through appropriations.The following table illustrates premium subsidies and indemnities for all crop years as expected to occur during the period of October 1-September 30 for fiscal years 2010 and 2011 .

salaries and expenses(including transfers of funds)For necessary expenses of the Farm Service Agency, $1,253,777,000 $1,364,673,000: Provided, That the Secretary is authorized to use the services, facilities, and authorities (but not the funds) of the Commodity Credit Corporation to make program payments for all programs administered by the Agency: Provided further, That other funds made available to the Agency for authorized activities may be advanced to and merged with this account: Provided further, That funds made available to county committees shall remain available until expended. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Farm Service Agency (FSA) was established October 3, 1994, pursuant to the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994, P.L. 103-354. The Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 was amended on April 4, 1996, by the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (1996 Act), P.L. 104-127. The FSA administers a variety of activities, such as farm income support programs through various loans and payments; the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP); the Emergency Conservation Program; the Hazardous Waste Management Program; the Commodity Operation Programs including the warehouse examination function; farm ownership, farm operating, emergency disaster, and other loan programs; and the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), which provides crop loss protection for growers of many crops for which crop insurance is not available. FSA also assists in the administration of several conservation cost-share programs financed by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), including the Grasslands Reserve Program (GRP). In addition, FSA currently provides certain administrative support services to the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and to the Risk Management Agency (RMA). This consolidated administrative expenses account includes funds to cover expenses of programs administered by, and functions assigned to, FSA. The funds consist of a direct appropriation, transfers from program loan accounts under credit reform procedures, user fees, and advances and reimbursements from other sources. This is a consolidated account for administrative expenses of national, regional, State, and county offices.USDA's FSA, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Rural Development offices act as separate franchises, with offices often located adjacent to each other. Prior efforts to improve the efficiency of USDA's county-based offices have resulted in significant co-location, and introduction of new information technology to simplify customer transactions. These programs provide an economic safety net through farm income support to eligible producers, cooperatives, and associations to help improve the economic stability and viability of the agricultural sector and to ensure the production of an adequate and reasonably priced supply of food and fiber. Objectives of the Agency include providing direct and counter-cyclical payments, providing marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments enabling recipients to continue farming operations without marketing their product immediately after harvest, and providing a financial assistance safety net to eligible producers when natural disasters result in a catastrophic loss of production or prevent planting of noninsured crops, and timely approval of crop prices, average yields, and payment factors for the NAP.Farm program activities include the following functions dealing with the administration of programs carried out through the farmer committee system of the FSA: (a) developing program regulations and procedures; (b) collecting and compiling basic data for individual farms; (c) establishing individual farm allotments for farm planting history; (d) notifying producers of established allotments and farm planting histories; (e) conducting referendums and certifying results; (f) accepting farmer certifications and checking compliance for specific purposes; (g) processing commodity loan documents and issuing checks; (h) processing direct and counter-cyclical payments and issuing checks; (i) certifying payment eligibility and monitoring payment limitations; and (j) processing farm storage facility loans and issuing checks.Conservation and environmentThese programs assist agricultural producers and landowners in implementing practices to conserve soil, water, air, and wildlife resources on America's farmland and ranches to help protect the human and natural environment. Objectives of the Agency include improving environmental quality, protecting natural resources, and enhancing habitat for fish and wildlife, including threatened and endangered species; providing Emergency Conservation Program funding for farmers and ranchers to rehabilitate damaged farmland and for carrying out emergency conservation measures during periods of severe drought or flooding; protecting the public health of communities through implementation of the Hazardous Waste Management Program; and implementing contracting, financial reporting, and other administrative operations processes. These activities include: (a) processing producer requests for conservation cost-sharing and issuing conservation reserve rental payments; and (b) transferring funds to the Natural Resources Conservation Service and other agencies for other conservation programs.This activity includes: (a) overall management of CCC-owned commodities; (b) purchasing commodities; (c) donating commodities; (d) selling commodities; (e) accounting for loans and commodities; and (f) commercial warehouse activities, which include improving the effectiveness and efficiency of FSA's commodity acquisition, procurement, storage, and distribution activities to support domestic and international food assistance programs and administering the U.S. Warehouse Act (USWA). FSA provides for the examination of warehouses licensed under the USWA and non-licensed warehouses storing CCC-owned or pledged commodities. Examiners perform periodic examinations of the facilities and the warehouse records to ensure protection of depositors against potential losses of the stored commodities and to ensure compliance with the USWA and any CCC storage agreements.Farm loans (reimbursable)Provides for administering the direct and guaranteed loan programs covered under the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund (ACIF). Objectives of the Agency include improving the economic viability of farmers and ranchers, reducing losses in direct loan programs, responding to loan making and servicing requests, and maximizing financial and technical assistance to under-served groups. Activities include reviewing applications, servicing the loan portfolio, and providing technical assistance and guidance to borrowers. Funding for farm loan administrative expenses is transferred to this consolidated account from the ACIF. Appropriations representing subsidy amounts necessary to support the individual program loan levels under Federal Credit Reform are made to the ACIF account.Other reimbursable activitiesFSA collects a fee or is reimbursed for performing a variety of services for other Federal agencies, CCC, industry, and others, including certain administrative support services for the Risk Management Agency and the Foreign Agricultural Service, and for county office services provided to Federal and non-Federal entities, including a variety of services to producers.

Emergency Conservation Program The Emergency Conservation Program (ECP) was authorized by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 (16 U.S.C. 2201-05). It provides funds for sharing the cost of emergency measures to deal with cases of severe damage to farmlands and rangelands resulting from natural disasters. For 2009, no Supplemental Appropriations for ECP were provided, however, $66.314 million in unobligated funding was internally realloted from the Hurricane Katrina Disaster (P.L. 109-148) and Adjusted Gross Income (P.L.110-28) to the regular ECP standard general ledger account for all natural disasters that occurred. These funds are available until expended. Under the 2009 program, cost-sharing and technical assistance were provided in 43 States to treat farmlands damaged by drought, floods, ice storms, tornadoes, wildfires and other natural disasters. Outlays to States in 2009 totaled $71,083,900.

Grassroots Source Water Protection Program grassroots source water protection programFor necessary expenses to carry out wellhead or groundwater protection activities under section 1240O of the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3839bb-2), $5,000,000, to remain available until expended. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Grassroots Source Water Protection Program (GSWPP) is a joint project by USDA's Farm Service Agency and the nonprofit National Rural Water Association. It is designed to help prevent source water pollution in States through voluntary practices installed by producers at the local level. GSWPP uses onsite technical assistance capabilities of each State rural water association that operates a wellhead or groundwater protection program in the State. State rural water associations can deliver assistance in developing source water protection plans within priority watersheds for the common goal of preventing the contamination of drinking water supplies. The 2008 Farm Bill authorizes this program to continue through 2012.

Commodity Credit Corporation Fund Commodity Credit Corporation Fundreimbursement for net realized losses(including transfers of funds)For the current fiscal year, such sums as may be necessary to reimburse the Commodity Credit Corporation for net realized losses sustained, but not previously reimbursed, pursuant to section 2 of the Act of August 17, 1961 (15 U.S.C. 713a-11): Provided, That of the funds available to the Commodity Credit Corporation under section 11 of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act (15 U.S.C. 714i) for the conduct of its business with the Foreign Agricultural Service, up to $5,000,000 may be transferred to and used by the Foreign Agricultural Service for information resource management activities of the Foreign Agricultural Service that are not related to Commodity Credit Corporation business. hazardous waste management(limitation on expenses)For the current fiscal year, the Commodity Credit Corporation shall not expend more than $5,000,000 for site investigation and cleanup expenses, and operations and maintenance expenses to comply with the requirement of section 107(g) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9607(g)), and section 6001 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. 6961). (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) was created to: stabilize, support, and protect farm income and prices; help maintain balanced and adequate supplies of agricultural commodities, their products, foods, feeds, and fibers; and help in their orderly distribution.The Corporation's capital stock of $100 million is held by the U.S. Treasury. Under present law, up to $30 billion may be borrowed from the U.S. Treasury to finance operations. Current, indefinite appropriation authority is requested to cover all net realized losses. Appropriations to the Corporation for net realized losses have no effect on budget authority, as they are used to repay debt directly with the Treasury. The following general assumptions form the basis for the Corporation's 2010 and 2011 budget estimates: (a) national income will rise both in 2010 and 2011 from the present level; (b) 2010 crop production will increase from 2009 crop levels for some commodities; (c) generally, exports of agricultural commodities in 2011 are expected to be higher than 2010 levels; and (d) yields for the 2010 crops are based on recent averages adjusted for trends. It is difficult to accurately forecast requirements for the year ending September 30, 2011, since the projections are subject to complex and unpredictable factors such as weather, other factors which affect the volume of production of crops not yet planted, feed, food, and energy needs here and overseas, and available dollar exchange.Appropriations are made to reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses sustained in carrying out its operations.USDA has incorporated stochastic price and production variability into its 10-year budget baseline process starting with the 2007 President's Budget. For the 2010-2019 crops, Commodity Credit Corporation outlay projections for counter-cyclical payments, Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) payments, marketing loan benefits, and Milk Income Loss Contract payments are based on price probability distributions and flexibilities generated by the Economic Research Service's Food and Agricultural Policy Simulation model. This approach was used for feed grains (corn, barley, sorghum, oats), wheat, rice, upland cotton, soybeans, sugar, and dairy.2011 ESTIMATE [In millions of dollars]ProgramGross obligationsNet outlaysNet realized loss for year

PROGRAMS OF THE CORPORATION Price support, marketing assistance loans, and related stabilization programsThe Corporation conducts programs to support farm income and prices and stabilize the market for agricultural commodities. Price support is provided to producers of agricultural commodities through loans, purchases, payments, and other means. This is done mainly under the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act, as amended, the Agricultural Act of 1949 (1949 Act), as amended, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Farm Bill), and the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill).Price support is mandatory for sugar and dairy products. Marketing assistance loans are mandatory for wheat, feed grains, oilseeds, upland cotton, peanuts, rice, and pulse crops. Loans are also required to be made for sugar, honey, wool, mohair, and extra long staple cotton.One method of providing support is loans to and purchases from producers. With limited exceptions, loans made on commodities are nonrecourse. The commodities serve as collateral for the loan and on maturity the producer may deliver or forfeit such collateral to satisfy the loan obligation without further payment. Direct purchases may be made from processors as well as producers, depending on the commodity involved. Also, special purchases are made under various laws for the removal of surpluses; for example, the Act of August 19, 1958, as amended, and section 416 of the Agricultural Act of 1949, as amended. Direct Payments and Counter-Cyclical PaymentsThe 2002 Farm Bill established direct payments and counter-cyclical payments for May 2002 through 2007. The payments were extended through the 2012 crop year by the 2008 Farm Bill. The eligible commodities for both direct payments and counter-cyclical payments are wheat, corn, grain sorghum, barley, oats, upland cotton, rice, soybeans, other oilseeds, and peanuts. The 2008 Farm Bill adds the following as eligible commodities: long grain and medium grain rice and pulse crops, expanded to include large chickpeas. Direct Payments are payments to producers for which payment yields and base acres are established. The commodity payment amount is calculated as follows: Payment Amount = specified rate x payment acres x payment yield. At the option of the producer, the producer can choose to receive advance payments (up to 22 percent) during the producer's selected month. The month selected may be any month during the period beginning on December 1 of the calendar year before the calendar year in which the crop of the covered commodity is harvested through the month within which the direct payment would otherwise be made. The direct payment rates established in the 2008 Farm Bill are the same as those in the 2002 Farm Bill; however, payment acres decrease from 85 percent to 83.3 percent of base acres for 2009-2011 crops, and no advance payments are available for the 2012 and subsequent crops.Counter-Cyclical Payments are payments to producers for which payment yields and base acres are established for eligible commodities if it is determined that the effective commodity price is less than the target commodity price. Counter-cyclical payments will be made for the crop as soon as practicable after the end of the 12-month marketing year for the eligible commodity. If, before the end of the 12-month marketing year it is determined that counter-cyclical payments will be required for the eligible commodity, producers will be provided the option to receive partial payment of the projected counter-cyclical payment. Partial counter-cyclical payments are limited to 40 percent of the projected rate, are available for the 2008-2010 crops only, and are payable after completion of the first 180 days of the marketing year.Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) PaymentsThe 2008 Farm Bill adds the ACRE program for the 2009-2012 crop years. Producers who elect to enroll a farm in ACRE are eligible for ACRE payments in lieu of counter-cyclical payments on the farm and in exchange for a 20 percent reduction in direct payments on the farm and a 30 percent reduction in the marketing assistance loan rates for all commodities produced on the farm except that the loan rate for seed cotton loans will not be so reduced. The election to enroll a farm in ACRE may be made for any of the crop years 2009-2012, but once the election is made, it is irrevocable through the 2012 crop.Marketing assistance loansThe 2002 Farm Bill authorized producers of eligible crops to receive non-recourse marketing assistance loans from the government for any quantity of a loan commodity produced on the farm by pledging their production as loan collateral. This loan shall have a term of 9 months beginning on the first day of the first month after the month in which the loan is made. The loan cannot be extended. As a condition of the receipt of a marketing assistance loan, the producer shall comply with applicable conservation requirements under subtitle B of title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 and applicable wetland protection requirements under subtitle C of title XII of the Act during the term of the loan. Producers of eligible commodities can repay a marketing assistance loan at a rate that is the lesser of (1) the loan rate established for the commodity plus interest; or (2) a rate that the Secretary determines. Special rules apply to upland cotton, rice, and extra long staple cotton. Crops eligible for marketing assistance loans include wheat, corn, barley, oats, grain sorghum, rice, upland cotton, soybeans, extra long staple cotton, other oilseeds, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, honey, wool, and mohair. The 2008 Farm Bill establishes specific loan rates for long grain and medium grain rice and restricts loan rate adjustments to grade and quality factors. Also, large chickpeas are added as a new marketing assistance loan commodity with a higher loan rate than small chickpeas.Marketing loss assistance for asparagus producersThe 2008 Farm Bill authorizes the use of $15 million to make payments to 2007 crop asparagus producers. Of the total, $7.5 million will be available to fresh market asparagus producers and $7.5 million will be available to frozen market asparagus producers.Peanut price support programUnder the 2008 Farm Bill, peanuts qualify for ACRE or direct payments, counter-cyclical payments, marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments for the 2009 through 2012 crops.The 2002 Farm Bill terminated the marketing quota programs and repealed price support programs. The prior quota programs stayed in effect for the 2001 crop only, with quota buyout compensation payments being made during 2002 through 2006. The prior price support programs remained in effect for the 2002 crop only, notwithstanding any other provision of law or crop insurance policy. The 2002 Farm Bill established marketing assistance loans for the 2002 through 2007 crops, with the loan rate for peanuts of $355 per ton. The 2008 Farm Bill continues this rate. The payment rate shall be the amount by which the established loan rate exceeds the rate at which a loan may be repaid. The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, P.L. 108-357, eliminated the program effective with the 2005 crop. In return for losing the program, growers and quota holders will receive a buyout. The owners of quota are being paid $7 per pound for the quota they hold. The actual producers are being paid $3 per pound for the quota they produced. The legislation eliminates all geographic and poundage restrictions on tobacco production as well as price support. The buyout is funded by assessments on the tobacco product manufacturers and importers. The program will cost $10.14 billion, and the growers and quota holders will be paid over a 10-year period.Sugar qualifies for price support. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the national average sugar loan rates to cover through the 2007 crops at 18 cents per pound for raw cane sugar and 22.9 cents per pound for refined beet sugar. The 2008 Farm Bill provides for escalating rates through crop year 2012. For raw cane sugar, the rate increases to 18.25 cents per pound for 2009, 18.5 cents per pound for 2010 and 18.75 cents per pound for 2011-2012. For refined beet sugar, the rates for crop year 2009-2012 are the raw cane sugar rate times 1.285. Loans are available to processors of domestically grown sugarcane and sugar beets for a term of nine months that does not begin or extend beyond the end/beginning of a fiscal year. The non-recourse loans extend through the 2007 crop for processors of domestically produced sugar beets and sugarcane including for in-process sugar. Loans for in-process sugar have a loan rate of 80 percent of the loan rate for raw cane sugar or refined beet sugar (based on the source material used). If forfeitures occur, the processor shall convert the in-process into final product at no cost to the CCC. Upon transfer, the processor will receive payment based on the loan rate less 80 percent of raw cane or refined beet sugar rate times the quantity of sugar transferred. The loan program will continue through the 2012 crop. The 2002 Farm Bill did not resume the sugar marketing assessment collections but authorized marketing allotments. The 2002 Act provided assistance for sugar donations in the amount of 10,000 tons to compensate sugar producers who suffer losses incurred beyond existing CCC administered programs. This assistance was a one-time occurrence.The 2008 Farm Bill extends the marketing allotment provisions of the 2002 Act, except they are now permanent and cannot be set at a level less than 85 percent of estimated sugar deliveries for human consumption. The 2008 Farm Bill introduces the Feedstock Flexibility Program, which requires the diversion of sugar from food use to ethanol producers, if needed, to keep sugar prices above levels at which sugar processors might otherwise forfeit sugar under loan to the CCC. The 2002 Farm Bill extended the Dairy Price Support Program from June 1, 2002 through December 31, 2007 at a rate of $9.90 per hundredweight for milk containing 3.7 percent butterfat. The support program is carried out through the purchase of butter, nonfat dry milk, and cheese at prices that enable processors to pay dairy farmers, on average, the support price for milk. As under previous law, the Secretary may allocate the rate of price support between the purchase prices for nonfat dry milk and butter in a manner that minimizes CCC expenditures or other objectives, as the Secretary considers appropriate. Cash CCC inventory sales (with some exceptions) shall be at any price that the Secretary determines will maximize CCC returns. The 2002 Farm Bill repealed all legislative authority for the Dairy Recourse Loan Program but established a new Milk Income Loss Contract Program (MILC), under which the Secretary may contract with eligible producers to make monthly payments when milk prices fall below specified levels. The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (P.L. 110-28) extended the MILC program through September 2007. The 2008 Farm Bill replaces the price support program of the 2002 Farm Bill with the Dairy Product Price Support Program, which is effective for calendar years 2008-2012. It requires the Secretary to support the price of cheddar cheese, butter and nonfat dry milk through purchases of such products at prices not less than $1.13 per pound for cheddar cheese in blocks, not less than $1.10 per pound for cheddar cheese in barrels, not less than $1.05 per pound for butter, and not less than $0.80 per pound for nonfat dry milk. Purchase prices for milk products may be adjusted lower based on preset levels of product net removals. The 2008 Farm Bill extends the MILC program through September 30, 2012. The payment calculation percentage is raised from 34 percent to 45 percent and the payment quantity is raised from 2,400,000 to 2,985,000 million pounds per fiscal year effective October 1, 2008 through August 31, 2012. A feed cost adjuster is added that raises the $16.94 base price when the national average ration cost exceeds $7.35 per hundredweight for a given month.Section 748(a) of the fiscal year 2010 USDA Appropriations Act, P.L. 111-80, appropriated $60 million for the purchase of cheese and cheese products, which the Commodity Credit Corporation is procuring. In general, the 2002 Farm Bill revised the Food Security Act of 1985 (7 U.S.C. 1308) for payment limitations. The total amount of direct payments made to a person during any crop year for one or more covered commodities may not exceed $40,000. The 2008 Farm Bill rescinds the three entity rule for payment limitation purposes for the 2009-2012 crops. Instead, payments are tracked as received directly or indirectly by an individual person or legal entity (otherwise termed direct attribution). Except for participants who elect to receive ACRE payments, the direct payment limitation remains at $40,000 for covered commodities in the 2008 Farm Bill, with a separate $40,000 payment limitation for peanut direct payments. The payment limitation on counter-cyclical payments made to a person during any crop year for one or more covered commodities continues at $65,000 in the 2008 Farm Bill, except for participants who elect to receive ACRE payments. For counter-cyclical payments, there is a separate $65,000 payment limitation for peanut counter-cyclical payments. For producers that receive ACRE payments, the payment limit is $65,000 plus the amount their direct payments are reduced due to their participation in ACRE. The total amount of gains and payments that a person may receive during any crop year under marketing assistance loan and loan deficiency payment provisions may not exceed $75,000 for crop years 2002-2008. The 2008 Farm Bill rescinds the payment limitation for both marketing loan gains and loan deficiency payments beginning with the 2009 crop. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, an individual or entity shall not be eligible to receive any benefit described above if the average adjusted annual gross income of the individual or entity exceeds $2,500,000, unless not less than 75 percent of the average adjusted gross income of the individual or entity is derived from farming, ranching, or forestry operations, as determined by the Secretary. The 2008 Farm Bill extends these provisions through the 2008 crop year, but makes commodity program payments subject to farm and nonfarm adjusted gross income (AGI) limits for 2009-2012 crop years. The AGI attributable to farming activities is adjusted farm gross income (AFGI), and the AGI attributable to other activities is adjusted nonfarm gross income (ANGI). If AFGI exceeds $750,000, the person or entity is ineligible to receive commodity program payments, and if ANGI exceeds $500,000, the person or entity is ineligible to receive payments. Commodity program payments include direct, counter-cyclical, ACRE, loan deficiency, marketing loan gain, NAP, supplemental crop disaster assistance, MILC, and trade adjustment assistance payments. The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007, P.L. 110-28, appropriated $2.8 billion in agricultural disaster aid for America's farmers and ranchers. The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act, P.L. 110-161, provided an additional $602 million under Sec. 743, which extends the period of loss eligibility for disaster assistance from February 28, 2007 to December 31, 2007. Unlike previous disaster supplemental Appropriations Acts, funding is through USDA Disaster Assistance rather than CCC. Noninsured Assistance ProgramThe Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 eliminated the area loss requirement for triggers and made other changes. It also included a provision that all types or varieties of a crop or commodity may be considered to be a single eligible crop for NAP assistance and provided additional funding in 2002 with annual increases through 2010. The 2008 Farm Bill amended the payment limitation provisions to conform with direct attribution of payments to a person of legal entity.Foreign Market Development and Food Assistance ProgramsDairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP)DEIP provides cash bonus payments to exporters to facilitate commercial sales of U.S. dairy products in overseas markets. Estimates of the quantity of dairy products to be exported under DEIP and associated expenditures were formulated within the maximum allowable expenditure and quantity levels specified in conjunction with provisions of the Uruguay Round Agreement. Consequently, current baseline projections assume that DEIP will not exceed $116.6 million annually during 2002-2012. Actual DEIP subsidies are further limited on a product-by-product basis under the Uruguay Round.Export Enhancement Program (EEP)The 2008 Farm Bill eliminated authority for the program.Market Access Program (MAP)Under the MAP, CCC Funds are used to reimburse participating organizations for a portion of the costs of carrying out overseas marketing and promotional activities. The 2008 Farm Bill continued the authority for the MAP program and as follows: $100 million for 2002, $110 million for 2003, $125 million for 2004, $140 million for 2005, and continued funding at $200 million for 2008-2012. The budget proposes to reduce the annual funding level for MAP by $40 million to $160 million and increase the emphasis on promoting generic American products overseas.Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program (FMD) and Quality Samples ProgramUnder the FMD program, cost-share assistance is provided to nonprofit commodity and agricultural trade associations to support overseas market development activities that are designed to remove long-term impediments to increased U.S. trade. The 2002 Farm Bill increased the available funds for this program to $34.5 million for 2002 through 2007 and the 2008 Farm Bill continues this funding level for 2008-2012. In addition, the budget proposes to increase discretionary funding for the program in fiscal year 2011 by $34.5 million as part of a broader government wide initiative to increase export promotion. CCC will fund the Quality Samples Program at an authorized annual level of $2.5 million. Under this initiative, samples of U.S. agricultural products will be provided to foreign importers to promote a better understanding and appreciation for the high quality of U.S. products.The 2008 Farm Bill authorizes the donation of surplus commodity inventory to domestic nutrition programs. The Corporation may also donate commodities under the authority of section 416(b) of the Agricultural Act of 1949 to carry out programs of assistance in developing countries and friendly countries and pay costs associated with making the commodities available. Commodities that are acquired by CCC in the normal course of its domestic support operations will be available for donation. The Corporation may also use its funds to furnish commodities overseas under the authority of the Food for Progress Act of 1985; however, not more than $55 million of the funds of the Corporation (exclusive of the costs of commodities) may be used for each fiscal year.The Bill Emerson Humanitarian TrustThe Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust (BEHT) is a commodity and/or monetary reserve designed to ensure that the United States can meet its international food aid commitments. Assets of the Trust can be released any time the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development determines that Title II of the Food for Peace Act funding for emergency needs is inadequate to meet those needs in any fiscal year. When a release from the Trust is authorized, the Trusts assets cover all commodity costs associated with the release. All non-commodity costs, including ocean freight charges; internal transportation, handling, and storage overseas; and certain administrative costs are paid by CCC. The 2008 Farm Bill extended the authorization to replenish the BEHT through 2012. Conservation programs administered by the Farm Service Agency and the Natural Resources Conservation Service are funded through the Commodity Credit Corporation. These programs help farmers adopt and maintain conservation systems that protect water quality, reduce soil erosion, protect and enhance wildlife habitat and wetlands, conserve water, and sequester carbon. Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Administered by FSA, the CRP is USDA's largest conservation/environmental program. The purpose of CRP is to cost-effectively assist farm owners and operators in conserving and improving soil, water, air, and wildlife resources by converting highly erodible and other environmentally sensitive acreage normally devoted to the production of agricultural commodities to a long-term resource-conserving cover. CRP participants enroll contracts for periods from 10 to 15 years in exchange for annual rental payments and cost-share and technical assistance for installing approved conservation practices. The CRP is authorized in all 50 States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, on all highly erodible cropland, other environmentally sensitive cropland, and certain marginal pastureland meeting the eligibility criteria. In addition to cropland in areas adjacent to lakes and streams that can be devoted to filter strips, and cropland subject to overflow and suffering from scour erosion, eligible land may include cropland contributing to water quality problems, and other lands posing environmental threats. Also eligible for the CRP are water quality or wildlife habitat impaired areas that do not meet the highly erodible land (HEL) criteria, such as the Chesapeake Bay, Great Lakes, and Long Island Sound watershed regions.CRP was established by the 1985 Food Security Act and amended and extended under subsequent farm bills. Most recently, the 2008 Farm Bill (P.L. 110-246) re-authorized CRP through September 30, 2012; permits CRP to enroll up to 32 million acres at any one time beginning October 1, 2009; expanded Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP) eligibility; included provisions for funding a tree thinning cost-share program; and included a program transitioning expiring CRP lands from retiring producers to beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers.In addition to FWP, CRP also enrolls land through general signups, Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) signups, and non-CREP continuous signups. FWP operates on a continuous basis. Under general signup provisions, producers compete nationally during specified enrollment periods for acceptance based on an environmental benefits index. Under continuous signup provisions, producers enroll specified high-environmental value lands such as wetlands, riparian buffers, and various types of habitat at any time during the year without competition. No general sign-ups were held in fiscal years 2007, 2008, or 2009. A contract extension for contracts that expired September 30, 2009 was offered. Of the 1.5 million acres that were offered extensions, 1.1 million acres were extended. A general signup is anticipated to be held in fiscal year 2010. Under continuous signup, including CREP and FWP, a combined total of 4.4 million acres were under contract as of the end of fiscal year 2009. About 400,000 acres are projected to be enrolled under continuous signup in fiscal year 2011. 2009 ended with 33.7 million acres under contract. With contracts expiring on 2.8 million acres September 30, 2009, 2010 enrollment began with 30.9 million acres under contract. Combined general and continuous signup is projected to remain at or near the 32 million-acre-cap throughout the baseline period. The budget includes a 2.9 million acre signup in 2010 and a 3.9 million acre signup in 2011. For those conservation programs administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), funding is transferred from CCC to NRCS's Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs account (see the NRCS section). Specifically, these programs include: the Environmental Quality Incentives Program; the Wetlands Reserve Program; the Wildlife Habitat Incentives program; the Farmland Protection Program; the Conservation Security Program; the Conservation Stewardship Program; the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Program; the Agriculture Water Enhancement Program; the Healthy Forest Reserve Program; and the Grassland Reserve Program. NRCS also receives funding from the CCC to carry out technical assistance for the Conservation Reserve Program and to carry out part of the Agricultural Management Assistance Program (see below).Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive ProgramThe 2008 Farm Bill authorizes this program to encourage farmers and ranchers to allow public access on their lands. It provides up to $50 million of CCC funding through 2012 as grants to States or Tribes that have public access programs. Outlays are estimated at $16.67 million per year for the period 2010-2012.Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP)The 2008 Farm Bill amends the 2002 Farm Bill to authorize this program to support the establishment and production of eligible crops for conversion to bioenergy in selected BCAP project areas; and to assist agricultural and forest land owners and operators with the collection, harvest, storage, and transportation of eligible material for use in a biomass conversion facility. BCAP is scheduled for full implementation in 2010, although payments for collection, harvest, and transportation were begun in 2009.Agricultural Management Assistance ProgramThe Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000 authorized CCC funding of $10 million for 2001 and subsequent years for the Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMAP). AMAP provides cost-share assistance to producers in states in which Federal Crop Insurance Program participation is historically low as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary delegated authority to implement this program to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency, and the Agricultural Marketing Service. The 2008 Farm Bill increased funding to $15 million for 2008-2012 and increased to 16 the number of States eligible to participate. Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve ProgramThe Department of Defense, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations to Address Hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, and Pandemic Influenza Act of 2006, P.L. 109-148, as amended by P.L. 109-234 and P.L. 110-28, mandates that the Secretary shall carry out an emergency pilot program in States that the Secretary determines have suffered damage to merchantable timber in counties affected by hurricanes during the 2005 calendar year. The Act provided $404.1 million for this program, called the Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve Program (EFCRP). P.L. 109-234 increased funding for EFCRP by $100 million, to $504.1 million. P.L. 110-28 lifted a restriction limiting the program to calendar year 2006. EFCRP enrollment during calendar year 2006 was 180,175 acres. Signup ended on December 31, 2006 and resumed in August 2007. An additional 73,000 acres were enrolled through the end of 2008 and an additional 35,000 acres were enrolled through the end of 2009. There were 288,532 acceptable acres as of October 31, 2009. The following table reflects commodity loan operations of the Corporation: [In millions of dollars]Item2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

The Corporation carries out its functions through utilization of employees and facilities of other Government agencies. Administrative expenses are incurred by: the Farm Service Agency (FSA); the Foreign Agricultural Service; the Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Risk Management Agency; other agencies of the Department engaged in the Corporation's activities; and the Office of the Inspector General for audit functions. Additional expenses are incurred by FSA county offices for work related to programs of the Corporation, other FSA expenses offset by revenue, custodian, and agency expenses of the Federal Reserve banks and lending agencies, and miscellaneous costs. Expenses are incurred for acquisition, operation, maintenance, improvement, or disposition of existing property that the Corporation owns or in which it has an interest. These expenses are treated as program expenses. Such program expenses include inspection, classing, and grading work performed on a fee basis by Federal employees or Federal- or State-licensed inspectors; and special services performed by Federal agencies within and outside this Department. Most of these general expenses, including storage and handling, transportation, inspection, classing and grading, and producer storage payments, are included in program costs. They are shown in the program and financing schedule in the entries entitled "Storage, transportation, and other obligations not included above.'' Section 161 of the 1996 Act amended Section 11 of the CCC Charter Act to limit the use of CCC funds for the transfer and allotment of funds to State and Federal agencies. The Section 11 cap of $56 million including FSA loan service fees remains at $56 million in 2009, 2010, and 2011. The Corporation receives reimbursement for grain requisitioned pursuant to Public Law 87-152 by the States from Corporation stocks to feed resident wildlife threatened with starvation through the appropriation reimbursement for net realized losses. There have been no requisitions in recent years, however. The Corporation receives reimbursement for the commodity costs and other costs, including administrative costs, for commodities supplied to domestic nutrition programs and international food aid programs.FINANCINGThe Corporation has an authorized capital stock of $100 million held by the U.S. Treasury and, effective in 1988, authority to have outstanding borrowings up to $30 billion at any one time. Funds are borrowed from the Treasury and may also be borrowed from private lending agencies and others. The Corporation reserves a sufficient amount of its borrowing authority to purchase at any time all notes and other obligations evidencing loans made to the Corporation by such agencies and others. All bonds, notes, debentures, and similar obligations issued by the Corporation are subject to approval by the Secretary of the Treasury as required by the Act of March 8, 1938. Interest on borrowings from the Treasury (and on capital stock) is paid at a rate based upon the average interest rate of all outstanding marketable obligations (of comparable maturity date) of the United States as of the preceding month. Interest is also paid on other notes and obligations at a rate prescribed by the Corporation and approved by the Secretary of the Treasury. The Department of Agriculture and Related Agencies Appropriation Act, 1966, made provision for terminating interest after June 30, 1964 on the portion of the Corporation's borrowings from the Treasury equal to the unreimbursed realized losses recorded on the books of the Corporation after the end of the fiscal year in which such losses are realized.POSITION WITH RESPECT TO BORROWING AUTHORITY, END OF YEAR[In millions of dollars]Item2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Note._Accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other outstanding obligations not reflected on this table do not become charges against the statutory borrowing authority until they result in borrowings from the Treasury.Price support and other programs required by statute may result in the Corporation incurring obligations in excess of available funds and borrowing authority. Such obligations are liquidated from subsequent appropriations and other funds that may become available to the Corporation. Any increase in obligations in excess of available fund resources is reported as contract authority in the year involved; a decrease is reported as the application of appropriations and other funds to liquidate the authority.Under section 2 of Public Law 87-155 annual appropriations are authorized for each fiscal year to reimburse the Corporation for net realized losses incurred as of the close of each year.The special activities are financed as indicated in the program descriptions above. In addition to certain reimbursements from other agencies, appropriations are made for foreign assistance programs.The net realized losses of the Corporation have previously been reimbursed as follows: SUPPORT AND RELATED PROGRAMS[In millions of dollars]2009 actual

Subtitle B of the 2000 Act allows for the use of commodity certificates. In making in-kind payments, CCC may (a) "acquire and use commodities that have been pledged to the Commodity Credit Corporation as collateral for loans made by the Corporation;'' (b) "use other commodities owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation;'' and (c) "redeem negotiable marketing certificates for cash under terms and conditions established. Commodity certificates discourage producers from forfeiting commodities pledged as collateral for CCC commodity loans. Certificates are used to repay marketing assistance loans when the adjusted world price (for rice and upland cotton) or the posted county price (for wheat, feed grains, soybeans, wool, mohair, honey, peanuts, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, and designated minor oilseeds) is lower than the applicable loan rate. The 2008 Farm Bill amended the 1996 Farm Bill to terminate the use of commodity certificates at the end of the 2009 crop year.

Legislative proposal, subject to PAYGO As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility, the Budget includes several significant offsets. The proposals include programmatic changes that:1. Reduce Direct Payment Cap . To transition the dependence of large farms and wealthy landowners on direct payments made on the basis of historical base acres to revenue from other sources including emerging markets for environmental services, the President's Budget proposes a 25 percent reduction in the current cap on direct payments to individuals. The 2008 Farm Bill set a limitation of $40,000 in direct payments per producer participant in the Direct and Countercyclical program and $32,000 for those who participate in the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program. The proposed adjustment will reduce the limitations to $30,000 (or $24,000 for those in the ACRE option.) These payments are made regardless of market prices, losses, or whether the land is still producing crops. Direct payments are only a modest portion of the roughly $17 billion in direct Government support already provided to farm producers through various USDA programs including farm commodity and income support payments, crop insurance benefits, disaster payments, and Conservation Reserve Program rental payments. Estimated savings over 10-years $1.5 million.2. Tighten Payment Eligibility. The President wants to maintain a strong safety net for farm families and beginning farmers. The need for more fiscal responsibility necessitates reexamination of government payments to wealthy individuals who are better able to take advantage of new market opportunities. Therefore, the Budget also proposes a three- year phased reduction in farm program average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) eligibility limits from the current $500,000 of non-farm AGI to $250,000, and the farm AGI limit for eligibility for direct payments would be reduced from the current $750,000 set by the 2008 Farm Bill to $500,000 over a three- year period as well. These adjustments in current program limits would affect only a very small portion of the farm program participants without disturbing the foundation of the current safety net for productive family farmers. Estimated savings over 10-years $764 million.3. Eliminate Cotton and Peanut Storage Credits. The Presidents Budget proposes to eliminate the requirement for the Government to pay the storage costs of cotton and peanuts that are put under loan with USDA. Cotton is the only commodity for which this assistance is regularly provided. Storage credits for cotton have been found to have a negative impact on the amount of cotton on the market. Because cotton storage is covered by the Government, producers may store their cotton for longer than necessary. Peanut storage credits are only provided if the crop is forfeited to the Government, therefore payments are rarely made and there is little need for storage credits. Estimated savings $2 million.4. Reform the Market Access Program (MAP). The Budget proposes an annual funding reduction of 20 percent, which will reduce Federal spending . Estimated savings over 10-years $366 million.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-4336-4-3-9992009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Commodity Credit Corporation Export Loans Program Account commodity credit corporation export (loans) credit guarantee program account(including transfers of funds)For administrative expenses to carry out the Commodity Credit Corporation's export guarantee program, GSM 102 and GSM 103, $6,820,000 $6,884,000; to cover common overhead expenses as permitted by section 11 of the Commodity Credit Corporation Charter Act and in conformity with the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, of which $6,465,000 $6,525,000 shall be transferred to and merged with paid to the appropriation for "Foreign Agricultural Service, Salaries and Expenses'', and of which $355,000 $359,000 shall be transferred to and merged with paid to the appropriation for "Farm Service Agency, Salaries and Expenses''. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) This is the program account for the GSM-102 CCC Export Credit Guarantee Program. The GSM-102 Export Credit Guarantee Program covers credit terms of up to three years. Under this program, CCC does not provide financing, but guarantees payments due from foreign banks and buyers. Because payment is guaranteed, financial institutions in the United States can offer competitive credit terms to foreign banks, usually with interest rates based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). If the foreign bank fails to make any payment as agreed, the exporter or assignee must submit a notice of default to the CCC. A claim for loss must be filed, and the CCC will promptly pay claims found to be in good order. CCC usually guarantees 98 percent of the principal payment due and interest based on a percentage of the one-year Treasury rate.A portion of the GSM-102 guarantees is also made available as Facilities Guarantees. Under this activity, CCC guarantees export financing for capital goods and services to improve handling, marketing, processing, storage, or distribution of imported agricultural commodities and products.The subsidy estimates for the GSM-102 program is determined in large part by the obligor's sovereign or non-sovereign country risk grade. These grades are developed annually by the International Credit Risk Assessment System Committee (ICRAS). In unusual circumstances, an ICRAS grade for a country may change during the fiscal year. The default estimates for GSM-102 guarantees still use the ICRAS grades but are now based on programmatic experience and assumptions rather than the government-wide risk premia used previously.As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the credit guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of credit guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis. The 2011 Budget displays the GSM loan guarantee volume, the subsidy level that can be justified by forecast economic conditions, and the expected supply/demand conditions of countries requesting GSM loan guarantees.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1336-0-1-3512009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Farm Storage Facility Loans Program Account Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) ProgramThe FSFL program was established by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) in 1949 to offer low-cost financing to producers for the construction or upgrade of on-farm storage facilities--the program was discontinued in the early 1980's when studies showed sufficient storage space was available. The FSFL was re-established in 2000 due to a severe shortage of sufficient available storage. The program was implemented in 2000 by CCC under Section 504(c) of the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990. The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 expanded the loan limits, term limits, and eligible commodities for which facilities can be financed by the program. The program now provides producers financing with seven, ten, or twelve-year repayment terms and low interest rates. The program gives producers greater marketing flexibility when farm storage is limited and/or transportation difficulties cause storage problems, allows farmers to benefit from new marketing and technological advances, and maximizes their returns through identity-preserved marketing. Sugar Storage Facility LoansThe 2002 Farm Bill directs that the CCC establish a sugar storage facility loan program to provide financing for processors of domestically produced sugarcane and sugar beets to construct or upgrade storage and handling facilities for raw sugars and refined sugars. The loan term is a minimum of seven years with the amount and terms being determined as any other commercial loan.As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond, as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis, and the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-3301-0-1-3512009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Agricultural Disaster Relief Fund The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill), P.L. 110-246, provides for Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance under Sec.12033 and 15101. This includes the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund, which is composed of amounts equivalent to 3.1 percent of the amounts received in the general fund of the U.S. Treasury during 2008-2011 attributable to the duties collected on articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. The fund has authority to borrow and repayable advances that are such sums as may be necessary make up the funds budget authority. Advances to the fund must be repaid with interest to the general fund of the U.S. Treasury when the Secretary of the Treasury determines that funds are available in the trust fund. Obligations of $5,763,693 were incurred in 2009. Livestock Indemnity Payments outlayed in 2009 were $2,946,799. The budget authority in the fund totaled $703,438,297 in 2009 which is the amount of customs receipts which were credited to the Agricultural Disaster Relief Trust Fund receipt account. The amount of $1,530,625,668 was carried forward into 2010 as unobligated balances.Funds from the trust fund may be used to make payments to farmers and ranchers under the following five new disaster assistance programs: Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payments (SURE) Program; Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP); Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP); Tree Assistance Program (TAP); and Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honey Bees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP). P.L. 110-246 provides that participants in the new disaster assistance programs are required to have crop insurance or non-insured crop disaster assistance, or to pay a fee if they are otherwise ineligible.The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) amended the 2008 Farm Bill and the SURE Program to modify the payment formulas for 2008 crops. The ARRA also provided an additional 90 day window for 2008 crops for those producers who did not obtain a policy or plan of insurance or NAP coverage or elect to buy in by September 16, 2008 as authorized under the 2008 Farm Bill.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-5531-0-2-3512009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Inventory and monitoring, resource appraisal, and program development activities are also funded through this account. Resource inventories are conducted to provide soil, water, and related resource data for evaluating land-use changes and trends; and for guidance in the development and implementation of Federal, State, and local resource conservation programs. Resource appraisal and program development provides data for periodic reports to the public and Congress as required by the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977 as amended. The 2011 request includes $25 million for Strategic Watershed Action (SWAT) Teams to provide significant planning, education, and program implementation assistance to high-priority degraded agricultural watersheds; $35 million for NRCS' share of the Common Computing Environment; and $5 million to streamline NRCS' business processes and update NRCS' information technology. The request does not include funding for 2010 earmarks. The work of the SWAT teams also supports USDA's High Priority Performance Goal to ensure that our national forests and private working lands enhance our water resources and are conserved, restored, and made more resilient to climate change. In addition, legislation will be submitted for a user fee that helps cover the cost of conservation planning services.Soil surveys and investigations are made on the soil resources of the United States. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides this information on the Web Soil Survey and in printed publications for use by the public and Federal, State and local agencies for conservation planning to evaluate soil suitability for home sites, subdivisions, commercial and industrial sites, wildlife habitat and recreational areas. Scientists and policy makers use soil survey information in studying climate change and evaluating the sustainability and environmental impacts of land use and management practices. NRCS uses the information for program development, conservation planning, and design of planned practices. NRCS provides national leadership for the National Cooperative Soil Survey in conjunction with Federal, States and local agencies and other users of soil survey data.MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs The Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L.110-246), which amended Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985, reauthorized a number of USDA's conservation programs. For conservation programs where NRCS is the lead implementation agency, funds are transferred from the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) to the Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs account. This account funds the cost-share, monitoring, easement, financial assistance, and technical assistance costs necessary for delivering the following programs: Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)This program is authorized under Section 1237 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The authority provides for up to 3,041,200 acres to be enrolled in the program. The purpose of the WRP is to preserve, protect, and restore valuable wetlands. The 2011 Budget assumes $502 million for this program to enroll 192,982 acres in 2011, and proposes to permanently reduce the program by 57,018 acres. Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)This program is authorized under section 1240 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The purpose of the program is to promote agricultural production and environmental quality as compatible national goals. The 2011 Budget proposes $1.208 billion for this program and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2011. Agricultural Water Enhancement Program (AWEP)This program is authorized by Section 1240I of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Under AWEP, NRCS enters into partnership agreements with eligible entities to promote ground and surface water conservation or improve water quality on agricultural lands. The 2011 Budget proposes $74 million for this program. The program is a successor to the Ground and Surface Water Program, which was not reauthorized by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008. Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP)This program is authorized by Section 1238D of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The program encourages producers to address resource concerns in a comprehensive manner by undertaking additional conservation activities and improving, maintaining and managing existing conservation activities. The 2011 Budget proposes $629 million for this program to enroll 12 million acres and proposes to permanently reduce the program by 769,000 acres. This program is the successor to the Conservation Security Program, which was not continued in the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 except as necessary to support contracts entered into before September 30, 2008. The 2011 Budget proposes $212 million for the Conservation Security Program.Farmland Protection Program (FRPP)Authorized under Section 1238I of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, this program protects soil by limiting nonagricultural use of prime and unique farm and ranch land. The 2011 Budget proposes $160 million for this program and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2011.Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP)This program is authorized by Section 1240N of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The program develops habitat for upland wildlife, wetland wildlife, threatened and endangered species, fish, and other wildlife. The 2011 Budget proposes a level of $73 million for this program and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2011.Grassland Reserve Program (GRP)This program is authorized by Section 1238N of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. The purpose of the program is to assist landowners in restoring and protecting grassland. The 2011 budget assumes $79 million for this program to enroll 245,830 acres in 2011 and proposes to permanently reduce the program by 183,662 acres.Chesapeake Bay Watershed Program (CBWP)This program is authorized by Section 1240Q of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. It helps agricultural producers improve water quality and quantity and restore, enhance and preserve soil, air and related resources in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed through the implementation of conservation practices. The 2011 Budget proposes $72 million for this program. Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Technical AssistanceThe CRP is authorized by Sections 1231-1235A of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. Although CRP is administered by the Farm Service Agency, NRCS provides technical assistance to producers to implement conservation practices on CRP land. FSA provides funds to NRCS as offsetting collections for this purpose in this account. The 2011 budget assumes $124 million for CRP technical assistance. In addition to the programs authorized under the Food Security Act of 1985, NRCS implements the following conservation programs:Agricultural Management Assistance Program (AMA)This program is authorized by Section 524(b) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1524(b)), as amended. It authorizes $15 million annually for fiscal years 2008 through 2012. This program is implemented by NRCS, the Agricultural Marketing Service, and the Risk Management Agency. The NRCS AMA activities are carried out in 16 states, as determined by the Secretary, in which participation in the Federal Crop Insurance Program is historically low. The program provides assistance to producers to mitigate financial risk by using conservation to reduce soil erosion and improve water quality. The Budget proposes limiting the overall AMA program to $10 million in 2011, of which NRCS is limited to $2.5 million, and proposes to permanently cancel funds exceeding this amount for the program in 2011.Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP)This program is authorized by Section 502 of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003, as amended. The program assists landowners in restoring, enhancing and protecting forest ecosystems on private lands to promote the recovery of threatened and endangered species, improve biodiversity, and enhance carbon sequestration. The 2011 Budget proposes $9.75 million for this program. NRCS works to deliver conservation programs using its technical field staff and by partnering with public and private entities through the Technical Service Provider (TSP) system. NRCS can contract with TSPs to help deliver the Farm Bill programs, or agricultural producers may select TSPs to help plan and implement conservation practices on their operations.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1004-0-1-3022009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations watershed and flood prevention operationsFor necessary expenses to carry out preventive measures, including but not limited to research, engineering operations, methods of cultivation, the growing of vegetation, rehabilitation of existing works and changes in use of land, in accordance with the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (16 U.S.C. 1001-1005 and 1007-1009), the provisions of the Act of April 27, 1935 (16 U.S.C. 590a-f), and in accordance with the provisions of laws relating to the activities of the Department, $30,000,000, to remain available until expended, of which $22,111,000 shall be for the purposes, and in the amounts, specified in the table titled "Congressionally Designated Projects'' in the statement of managers to accompany this Act: Provided, That not to exceed $12,000,000 of this appropriation shall be available for technical assistance. (7 U.S.C. 2209b, 2225; 16 U.S.C. 1001-1005, 1007-1009; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) NRCS watershed programs provide for cooperative actions between the Federal Government and States and their political subdivisions to reduce damage from floodwater, sediment, and erosion; for the conservation, development, utilization, and disposal of water; and for the conservation and proper utilization of land. Funds in Watershed and Flood Prevention Operations can be used for either flood prevention projects or flood damage rehabilitation efforts, depending upon the needs and opportunities. To improve the environmental and economic benefits of these projects, NRCS focuses on developing and funding non-structural flood prevention measures. However, Congress has earmarked virtually all of this program in recent years, preventing NRCS from prioritizing projects on merit-based criteria. Consequently the 2011 Budget does not request funding for the watershed operations programs and instead redirects their resources to other priority programs within the agency.Emergency watershed protectionNRCS undertakes such emergency measures for runoff retardation and soil erosion prevention as may be needed to safeguard life and property from floods and the products of erosion on any watershed whenever natural elements or forces cause a sudden impairment of that watershed. An emergency is considered to exist when a watershed is suddenly impaired by flood, fire, wind, earthquake, drought or other natural causes and consequently life and property are endangered by floodwater, erosion, or sediment discharge. The emergency area need not be declared a national disaster area to be eligible for emergency watershed protection. Emergency watershed protection is applicable to small scale, localized disasters as well as large scale disasters. State agencies including environmental, natural resource, and fish and game agencies participate in planning and coordinating emergency work. Funding for the emergency watershed protection program is typically provided through emergency supplemental appropriations. Watershed operations authorized by Public Law 78-534NRCS cooperates with soil conservation districts and other local organizations in planning and installing flood prevention improvements in 11 watersheds authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944. The Federal Government shares the cost of improvements for flood prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife development. Small watershed operations authorized by Public Law 83-566NRCS provides technical and financial assistance to local organizations to install measures for watershed protection, flood prevention, agricultural water management, recreation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. At least 70 percent of the funding provided is used for financial assistance.Loans through the Agricultural Credit Insurance Fund have been made in previous years to the local sponsors in order to fund the local cost of Public Law 83-566 or 78-534 projects. No funding for these loans is assumed in 2011. MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Watershed Rehabilitation Program watershed rehabilitation programFor necessary expenses to carry out rehabilitation of structural measures, in accordance with section 14 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (16 U.S.C. 1012), and in accordance with the provisions of laws relating to the activities of the Department, $40,161,000 $40,497,000, to remain available until expended. (16 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) Under the authorities of section 14 of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, assistance is provided to communities to address concerns about local aging dams. The 2011 Budget request of $40 million in discretionary funding will support rehabilitation of the highest priority dam projects that have reached the end of their design life. NRCS provides technical and financial assistance for the planning, design, and implementation of rehabilitation projects that may include upgrading or removing the dams. As part of the President's commitment to fiscal responsibility, the 2011 budget proposes no mandatory funding for this program in 2011; $165 million currently available would be permanently cancelled (see proposed general provisions for the Department of Agriculture).Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1002-0-1-3012009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Resource Conservation and Development resource conservation and developmentFor necessary expenses in planning and carrying out projects for resource conservation and development and for sound land use pursuant to the provisions of sections 31 and 32 of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (7 U.S.C. 1010-1011; 76 Stat. 607); the Act of April 27, 1935 (16 U.S.C. 590a-f); and subtitle H of title XV of the Agriculture and Food Act of 1981 (16 U.S.C. 3451-3461), $50,730,000: Provided, That not to exceed $3,073,000 shall be available for national headquarters activities. (7 U.S.C. 2225; Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program was developed under the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (16 U.S.C 590a-590f); the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act (16 U.S.C. 1010 and 1011); and the Food and Agricultural Act of 1962 (P.L. 87-703). It is authorized under subtitle H, title XV of the Agricultural and Food Act of 1981 (16 U.S.C. 3451-3461), as amended. The program was permanently authorized by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 and further amended by the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-246). The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) administers the program. In 1981, sections 1528-1538 of the Agriculture and Food Act authorized a program to encourage and improve the capability of State and local units of government and local nonprofit organizations in rural areas to plan, develop, and implement programs for resource conservation and development. Through the program, RC&D areas establish or improve coordination systems in rural communities and build rural community leadership skills to use Federal, State and local programs for the communities' benefit. The program also assists local communities to develop strategic plans addressing locally identified natural resource and economic development concerns.NRCS provides program administration and assistance to RC&D areas by funding coordinators for 375 volunteer non-profit RC&D Councils across the country. Other USDA agencies with conservation or development activities provide input for program policy and guidance and are members of the USDA RC&D Policy Advisory Board and Working Group. In addition, these agencies provide limited technical and financial assistance to RC&D Councils. Councils also obtain the assistance from other local, State, and Federal agencies, private organizations, and foundations to carry out their specific projects. The 2011 Budget does not request funding for the RC&D program. After decades of Federal assistance, these councils have developed sufficiently strong State and local ties that the Administration believes it is no longer necessary to fund Federal council coordinators, as the councils are now able to secure funding for their continued operation without Federal assistance. The following tabulation shows the status of RC&D areas authorized to receive technical and financial assistance. MAIN WORKLOAD FACTORS2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Healthy Forests Reserve Program Title V of the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-148) authorized the establishment of the Healthy Forests Reserve Program (HFRP). This program assists landowners in restoring, enhancing and protecting forest ecosystems to 1) promote the recovery of threatened and endangered species; 2) improve biodiversity; and 3) enhance carbon sequestration. NRCS implements this voluntary program. At the state level, the NRCS State Conservationist determines how best to deliver HFRP and implement national policies in an efficient manner based on the national priorities identified in each sign-up announcement. Only privately held land is eligible for enrollment into HFRP. Land enrolled in the HFRP must have a restoration plan that includes practices necessary to restore and enhance habitat for species listed as threatened or endangered or candidates for the threatened or endangered species list. Technical assistance will be provided by USDA to assist owners in complying with the terms of restoration plans under the HFRP. The 2011 Budget does not request discretionary funding for the Healthy Forests Reserve Program as the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-246) authorized new mandatory funding for the Healthy Forests Reserve Program of $9.75 million annually from 2009-2012. This funding is included in the 2011 Budget in the Farm Security and Rural Investment Programs account.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1090-0-1-3022009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program (CRBSC) was authorized under section 202(c) of Title II of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act, as amended by section 334, subtitle D, Title III of the Federal Agriculture Improvement Act (FAIR Act) of 1996. The FAIR Act combined the authorities of the Agricultural Conservation Program, Water Quality Incentive Program, Great Plains Conservation Program, and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program into the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). The FAIR Act also repealed CRBSC authority, while maintaining program account balances until expended. Since 1996, EQIP has provided cost-share assistance to landowners and others in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming to enhance the supply and quality of water in the Colorado River for delivery to downstream users in the U.S. and Mexico. Section 1237 of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended, authorizes the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) as a voluntary approach to preserving, protecting, and restoring valuable wetlands. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) provides program administration for WRP. Funding for WRP is now provided through NRCS' Farm Security and Rural Investment Account.

Rural Development Salaries and Expenses(including transfers of funds)For necessary expenses for carrying out the administration and implementation of programs in the Rural Development mission area, including activities with institutions concerning the development and operation of agricultural cooperatives; and for cooperative agreements; $201,987,000 $232,257,000: Provided, That notwithstanding any other provision of law, funds appropriated under this section may be used for advertising and promotional activities that support the Rural Development mission area: Provided further, That not more than $10,000 may be expended to provide modest nonmonetary awards to non-USDA employees: Provided further, That any balances available from prior years for the Rural Utilities Service, Rural Housing Service, and the Rural Business-Cooperative Service salaries and expenses accounts shall be transferred to and merged with this appropriation. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Rural Development Salaries and Expenses account is a consolidated account to administer all Rural Development programs, including programs administered by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS), the Rural Housing Service (RHS), and the Rural Business-Cooperative Service (RBS).RUS provides grants, direct loans and loan guarantees to suppliers of electric, telecommunications (for general purpose and for distance learning/telemedicine), and water and wastewater services in rural areas. Through the water and wastewater program, RUS also provides technical assistance. Most of the programs are administered in Washington, DC. The Rural Development field office staff performs the services related to the water and wastewater grant and loan programs. For the electric and telecommunication loans, general field representatives visit borrowers periodically and maintain liaisons between the borrowers and headquarters.RHS delivers rural housing and community facility programs through a system of State, area, and local offices.RBS delivers direct loans, loan guarantees and grant programs, as well as technical assistance, to cooperatives and rural businesses.USDA proposes to establish a Regional Innovation Initiative to focus on the planning and coordination of USDA and other sources of assistance for rural communities. The initiative recognizes that individual communities are often affected by linkages to the other communities within regions and that working together can produce more prosperity for all. The 2011 budget supports robust regional strategies. Several programs across the department will also contribute to this initiative.

Rural Development Disaster Assistance Fund The Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009, newly created the Disaster Assistance Fund and provided $188 million in funds for Rural Development programs to address specific disasters. $150 million of the funds were for the areas affected by hurricanes, floods, and other natural disasters occurring during calendar year 2008. The additional $38 million in funds was for single and multi-family housing activities in areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Funding was provided generally to various Rural Development programs and has been appropriately transferred to relevant programs in the Rural Utilities Service, the Rural Housing Service, and the Rural Business and Cooperative Service.

Rural Community Advancement Program Until 2008, this account was used to consolidate under the Rural Community Advancement Program (RCAP) funding for the direct and guaranteed water and waste disposal loans, water and waste disposal grants, emergency community water assistance grants, solid waste management grants, direct and guaranteed community facility loans, community facility grants, direct and guaranteed business and industry loans, rural business enterprise grants, and rural business opportunity grants. This was in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, as amended, Public Law 104-127 (the 1996 Act). RCAP was composed of the following three funding streams: Rural Community Facilities, Rural Utilities, and Rural Business. To continue what was proposed and passed in 2008, the 2011 Budget proposes no funding in the RCAP account and instead, each funding stream is being appropriated separately in a new account. The Water and Wastewater funding stream, which makes up the Rural Utilities stream, is in the Rural Utilities Service, the Rural Community Facilities funding stream is in the Rural Housing Service, and the Rural Business stream is in the Rural Business Service.

Rural Housing Assistance Grants rural housing assistance grants(including transfer of funds)For grants and contracts for very low-income housing repair, supervisory and technical assistance, compensation for construction defects, and rural housing preservation made by the Rural Housing Service, as authorized by 42 U.S.C. 1474, 1479(c), 1490e, and 1490m, $45,500,000 $40,400,000, to remain available until expended, of which $4,000,000 shall be for grants authorized by section 14204 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008: Provided, That of the total amount appropriated under this heading, the amount equal to the amount of Rural Housing Assistance Grants allocated by the Secretary for Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones for the fiscal year 2009 2010, shall be available through June 30, 2010 2011, for communities designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones: Provided further, That any balances to carry out a housing demonstration program to provide revolving loans for the preservation of low-income multi-family housing projects as authorized in Public Law 108-447 and Public Law 109-97 shall be transferred to and merged with the "Rural Housing Service, Multi-family Housing Revitalization Program Account''. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The very low-income housing repair grant program is authorized under section 504 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. This grant program enables very low-income elderly residents in rural areas to improve or modernize their dwellings, to make the dwelling safer or more sanitary, or to remove health and safety hazards. The Budget provides $31 million for this program in 2011. The rural housing preservation grant program is authorized under section 533 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. Grants are made to eligible nonprofit groups, Indian tribes, or government agencies for rehabilitation of single family housing owned by low- and very low-income families and the rehabilitation of rental and cooperative housing for low- and very low-income families. $9.4 million is provided for this program in 2011.For other housing assistance grants authorized for funding in this account such as supervisory and technical assistance grants as authorized by section 509(f) and 525 of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, no funding is provided in the 2011 Budget. However, the appropriations language allows for funding between all of the authorized grant programs within this account to be flexible. Therefore, funds from housing repair grants and/or housing preservation grants could be redirected to fund these programs if necessary.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1953-0-1-6042009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The rental assistance program is authorized under section 521(a)(2) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, and is designed to reduce rent expenses for very low-income and low-income families living in RHS-financed rural rental and farm labor housing projects. Funding under this account is provided for renewals of existing rental assistance contracts and assistance for newly constructed units financed by the section 515 loan program and the 514/516 farm labor housing loan and grant programs. At USDA's discretion, some funds may also be used for additional servicing assistance for existing projects. For 2011, the request for rental assistance grants is for one year contracts with one-year availability, with a total funding level of $966 million. From 1978 through 1991, the rental assistance program was funded under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund (RHIF). Beginning in 1992, pursuant to Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established for this program. Prior year obligations are funded with "such sums" amounts to cover those pre-credit reform contracts in RHIF.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-0137-0-1-6042009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Multifamily Housing Revitalization Program Account multi-family housing revitalization program accountFor the rural housing voucher program as authorized under section 542 of the Housing Act of 1949, but notwithstanding subsection (b) of such section, for the cost to conduct a housing demonstration program to provide revolving loans for the preservation of low-income multi-family housing projects, and for additional costs to conduct a demonstration program for the preservation and revitalization of multi-family rental housing properties described in this paragraph, $43,191,000 $18,000,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That of the funds made available under this heading, $16,400,000, which shall be available for rural housing vouchers to any low-income household (including those not receiving rental assistance) residing in a property financed with a section 515 loan which has been prepaid after September 30, 2005: Provided further, That the amount of such voucher shall be the difference between comparable market rent for the section 515 unit and the tenant paid rent for such unit: Provided further, That funds made available for such vouchers shall be subject to the availability of annual appropriations: Provided further, That the Secretary shall, to the maximum extent practicable, administer such vouchers with current regulations and administrative guidance applicable to section 8 housing vouchers administered by the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development: Provided further, That if the Secretary determines that the amount made available for vouchers in this or any other Act is not needed for vouchers, the Secretary may use such funds for the demonstration programs for the preservation and revitalization of multi-family rental housing properties described in this paragraph: Provided further, That of the funds made available under this heading, $1,791,000 shall be available for the cost of loans to private nonprofit organizations, or such nonprofit organizations' affiliate loan funds and State and local housing finance agencies, to carry out a housing demonstration program to provide revolving loans for the preservation of low-income multi-family housing projects: Provided further, That loans under such demonstration program shall have an interest rate of not more than 1 percent direct loan to the recipient: Provided further, That the Secretary may defer the interest and principal payment to the Rural Housing Service for up to 3 years and the term of such loans shall not exceed 30 years: Provided further, That of the funds made available under this heading, $25,000,000 shall be available for a demonstration program for the preservation and revitalization of the sections 514, 515, and 516 multi-family rental housing properties to restructure existing USDA multi-family housing loans, as the Secretary deems appropriate, expressly for the purposes of ensuring the project has sufficient resources to preserve the project for the purpose of providing safe and affordable housing for low-income residents and farm laborers including reducing or eliminating interest; deferring loan payments, subordinating, reducing or reamortizing loan debt; and other financial assistance including advances, payments and incentives (including the ability of owners to obtain reasonable returns on investment) required by the Secretary: Provided further, That the Secretary shall as part of the preservation and revitalization agreement obtain a restrictive use agreement consistent with the terms of the restructuring: Provided further, That if the Secretary determines that additional funds for vouchers described in this paragraph are needed, funds for the preservation and revitalization demonstration program may be used for such vouchers: Provided further, That if Congress enacts legislation to permanently authorize a multi-family rental housing loan restructuring program similar to the demonstration program described herein, the Secretary may use funds made available for the demonstration program under this heading to carry out such legislation with the prior approval of the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress: Provided further, That in addition to any other available funds, the Secretary may expend not more than $1,000,000 total, from the program funds made available under this heading, for administrative expenses for activities funded under this heading. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) USDA's portfolio of multifamily housing projects provides housing for nearly half a million low-income families, many of whom are elderly. Recent Federal court rulings allow projects that received their financing prior to 1989 to prepay and leave the program. Current law allows USDA to assist families displaced by sponsors' prepayments by providing them with letters of priority and vouchers, which were newly funded in 2006. The Budget proposes $18 million in 2011 for housing vouchers for residents of projects whose sponsors prepay their outstanding indebtedness on USDA loans and leave the program. Prior year obligated balances reflect funding for rental assistance for newly constructed units provided in limited amounts in 1984 and 1985. From 1986 through 1991 rental assistance for newly constructed units, as well as existing rental assistance contract renewals and additional servicing assistance for existing projects, had been funded under the Rural Housing Insurance Fund. Beginning in 1992, pursuant to Credit Reform, a separate grant account was established for the rental assistance program.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-2002-0-1-6042009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Rural Community Fire Protection Grants Rural Community Facilities Program Account rural community facilities program account(including transfers of funds)For the cost of direct loans, loan guarantees, and grants for rural community facilities programs as authorized by section 306 and described in section 381E(d)(1) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, $54,993,000 $41,717,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That $6,256,000 of the amount appropriated under this heading shall be available for a Rural Community Development Initiative: Provided further, That such funds shall be used solely to develop the capacity and ability of private, nonprofit community-based housing and community development organizations, low-income rural communities, and Federally Recognized Native American Tribes to undertake projects to improve housing, community facilities, community and economic development projects in rural areas: Provided further, That such funds shall be made available to qualified private, nonprofit and public intermediary organizations proposing to carry out a program of financial and technical assistance: Provided further, That such intermediary organizations shall provide matching funds from other sources, including Federal funds for related activities, in an amount not less than funds provided: Provided further, That $13,902,000 of the amount appropriated under this heading shall be to provide grants for facilities in rural communities with extreme unemployment and severe economic depression (Public Law 106-387), with up to 5 percent for administration and capacity building in the State rural development offices: Provided further, That $3,972,000 of the amount appropriated under this heading shall be available for community facilities grants to tribal colleges, as authorized by section 306(a)(19) of such Act: Provided further, That of the amount appropriated under this heading, the amount equal to the amount of Rural Community Facilities Program Account funds allocated by the Secretary for Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones for the fiscal year 2009 2010, shall be available through June 30, 2010 2011, for communities designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones for the rural community programs described in section 381E(d)(1) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act: Provided further, That sections 381E-H and 381N of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act are not applicable to the funds made available under this heading: Provided further, That any prior balances in the Rural Development, Rural Community Advancement Program account for programs authorized by section 306 and described in section 381E(d)(1) of such Act be transferred and merged with this account and any other prior balances from the Rural Development, Rural Community Advancement Program account that the Secretary determines is appropriate to transfer. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) This account funds the direct and guaranteed community facility loans and community facility grants. Since the passage of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 through 2007, the funding for these programs was provided as part of the Rural Community Advancement Program (RCAP). To continue what was proposed and passed in 2008, the 2011 Budget proposes no funding in the RCAP account and instead, each funding stream is being appropriated separately in a new account. This is the new account for the Community programs funding stream. Community facility loans and grants are authorized under sections 306(a)(1) and 306(a)(19) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Loans are provided to local governments and nonprofit organizations for the construction and improvement of community facilities providing essential services in rural areas of not more than 20,000 population, such as hospitals and fire stations. Total program level in 2011 is projected to be $531 million.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1951-0-1-4522009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account rural housing insurance fund program account(including transfers of funds)For gross obligations for the principal amount of direct and guaranteed loans as authorized by title V of the Housing Act of 1949, to be available from funds in the rural housing insurance fund, as follows: $13,121,488,000 $13,200,000,000 for loans to section 502 borrowers, of which $1,121,488,000 $1,200,000,000 shall be for direct loans, and of which $12,000,000,000 shall be for unsubsidized guaranteed loans without regard to section 710 of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-97); $34,412,000 $34,004,000 for section 504 housing repair loans; $69,512,000 $95,236,000 for section 515 rental housing; $129,090,000 $129,133,000 for section 538 guaranteed multi-family housing loans; $5,045,000 $5,052,000 for section 524 site loans; $11,448,000 $11,449,000 for credit sales of acquired property, of which up to $1,448,000 $1,449,000 may be for multi-family credit sales; and $4,970,000 $4,966,000 for section 523 self-help housing land development loans. For the cost of direct and guaranteed loans, including the cost of modifying loans, as defined in section 502 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, as follows: section 502 loans, $213,510,000, of which $40,710,000 $75,120,000 shall be for direct loans, and of which $172,800,000, to remain available until expended, shall be for unsubsidized guaranteed loans; section 504 housing repair loans, $4,422,000 $6,437,000; repair, rehabilitation, and new construction of section 515 rental housing, $18,935,000 $32,123,000; section 538 multi-family housing guaranteed loans, $1,485,000 $12,513,000; section 524 site development loans, $294,000; and credit sales of acquired property, $556,000; and section 523 self-help land development housing loans, $288,000: Provided, That of the total amount appropriated in this paragraph, the amount equal to the amount of Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program Account funds allocated by the Secretary for Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones for the fiscal year 2009 2010, shall be available through June 30, 2010 2011, for communities designated by the Secretary of Agriculture as Rural Economic Area Partnership Zones: Provided further, That section 538 multi-family housing guaranteed loans funded pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to a guarantee fee and the interest on such loans may not be subsidized: Provided further, That any balances for a demonstration program for the preservation and revitalization of the section 515 multi-family rental housing properties as authorized by Public Law 109-97, and Public Law 110-5, and Public Law 111-80 shall be transferred to and merged with the "Rural Housing Service, Multi-family Housing Revitalization Program Account''.In addition, for administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs, $468,593,000 $454,383,000 shall be transferred to and merged with paid to the appropriation for "Rural Development, Salaries and Expenses''. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) Rural Housing Insurance FundThis fund was established in 1965 (Public Law 89-117) pursuant to section 517 of title V of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. The programs funded through the Rural Housing Insurance Fund Program account are: section 502 single family housing direct loans and loan guarantees; section 504 housing repair loans; section 515 multifamily housing direct loans; section 524 housing site loans, single family and multi-family housing credit sales of acquired property, and section 538 multi-family housing guarantees. Starting in 2001, section 514 domestic farm labor housing loans and grants are funded under the new Farm Labor Program Account in order to provide flexibility between loans and the farm labor housing grants. The section 523 self-help housing land development loan program is funded in this account as of 1997.Loan programs are limited to rural areas that include towns, villages, and other places which are not part of an urban area and that have a population not in excess of 2,500 inhabitants, or is in excess of 2,500 but not in excess of 10,000 if rural in character, or has a population in excess of 10,000 but not more than 20,000 and is not within a standard metropolitan statistical area and has a serious lack of mortgage credit for low- and moderate-income borrowers. Section 502 single family housing direct loans are funded at $1.2 billion, almost $80 million over 2010. Section 515 multifamily direct loans are funded at $95 million, a $25 million increase from 2010, to help ensure adequate funding for new and existing low-income rural rental housing. The other loan levels are maintained at approximately the 2010 levels. Meanwhile, 538 guaranteed multifamily housing loans continue to have appropriations language that funds these loans with no fee and no subsidized interest. For 502 guaranteed single family housing loans in 2011, the Budget proposes to make the fee structure of the single family housing guarantee similar to that of HUD's FHA guaranteed loans. The up-front fee on new purchase loans will remain 2 percent, but an annual fee of 0.15 percent will be added to both new and refinanced loans. In addition, the up-front fee for refinanced loan guarantees will be increased to 1 percent. This change allows the subsidy for the loans to be completely offset without a significant additional burden to the borrowers, given that they can finance the up-front fee as part of the loan, and the annual fee will be a nominal amount added to the monthly payment. There is a General Provision that achieves the fee change, which codifies the current cap on the up-front fee at 2 percent and provides a cap of 0.5 percent for the annual fee. It should be noted that for 2011 we are blending the subsidy rate of the new/purchase single family housing guarantees with the subsidy rate of the refinanced single family housing guarantees. The rate was originally blended when refinancings were first authorized, and having separate rates has proved to be inefficient and inconsistent with how we treat slight variations in fee structure within one loan program. The 502 guarantee blended rate with then new fee structure will be -0.07%. For 2011, the Budget will provide $12 billion in single family loan guarantees. That level is specifically limited within the Rural Housing Insurance Fund appropriations language.The 2011 Budget also proposes to make the guaranteed loan program a direct endorsement program similar to VA and HUD's guaranteed loan program through another General Provision. This will make RHS more efficient and allow USDA's single family housing staff to focus more on single family housing direct loans. As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for this program, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed in 1992 and beyond (including credit sales of acquired property), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) This account funds the direct and guaranteed water and waste disposal loans, water and waste disposal grants, emergency community water assistance grants, and solid waste management grants. Since the passage of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 provided for the consolidation of the funding for these programs as part of the Rural Community Advancement Program (RCAP). However, since 2008 appropriation acts have continued no funding in the RCAP account and instead, each funding stream is being appropriated separately in new accounts. This is the new account for the Water and Wastewater funding stream, which is the Rural Utilities Stream from the RCAP account. The 2011 budget continues this arrangement. Water and waste disposal loans are authorized under 7 U.S.C. 1926. The program provides direct loans to municipalities, counties, special purpose districts, certain Indian Tribes, and non-profit corporations to develop water and waste disposal systems in rural areas and towns with populations of less than 10,000. The program also guarantees water and waste disposal loans made by banks and other eligible lenders. In 2011, the projected loan level is over $1 billion for direct loans and $75 million for guarantees. Water and waste disposal grants are authorized under Section 306(a)(2) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are authorized to be made to associations, including nonprofit corporations, municipalities, counties, public and quasi-public agencies, and certain Indian tribes. The grants can be used to finance development, storage, treatment, purification, or distribution of water or the collection, treatment, or disposal of waste in rural areas and cities or towns with populations of less than 10,000. The amount of any development grant may not exceed 75 percent of the eligible development cost of the project. $442 million is projected for this program in 2011. Emergency community water assistance grants are authorized under Section 306A of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are made to public bodies and nonprofit organizations for construction or extension of water lines, repair or maintenance of existing systems, replacement of equipment, and payment of costs to correct emergency situations. These grants are funded on an as needed basis using flexibility of funds authority. Solid waste management grants are authorized under Section 310B(b) of the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, as amended. Grants are made to non-profit organizations to provide regional technical assistance to local and regional governments and related agencies for the purpose of reducing or eliminating pollution of water resources, and for improving the planning and management of solid waste disposal facilities. $3.5 million is projected for this program in 2011.

Rural Electrification and Telecommunications Loans Program Account rural electrification and telecommunications loans program account(including transfer of funds)The principal amount of direct and guaranteed loans as authorized by sections 305 and 306 of the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 (7 U.S.C. 935 and 936) shall be made as follows: 5 percent rural electrification loans, $100,000,000; loans made pursuant to section 306 of that Act, rural electric, $6,500,000,000; guaranteed underwriting loans pursuant to section 313A, $500,000,000 $4,000,000,000; 5 percent rural telecommunications loans, $145,000,000; cost of money rural telecommunications loans, $250,000,000; and for loans made pursuant to section 306 of that Act, rural telecommunications loans, $295,000,000: Provided, That, notwithstanding section 6106(b) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, a guaranteed underwriting loan may not be issued until the amendments to the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 contained in section 6106(a) of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 are administratively implemented no funds made available under this paragraph shall be made available for construction, acquisition or improvement of fossil fueled electric generating plants (whether new or existing) unless such funds are made available for carbon sequestration systems.In addition, for administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs, $39,959,000 $38,374,000, which shall be transferred to and merged with paid to the appropriation for "Rural Development, Salaries and Expenses''. (Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) conducts the rural electrification and the rural telecommunications loan programs. The rural electrification loan program is financed through RUS direct and guaranteed loans for the operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems. The rural telecommunications loan program is financed through RUS direct loans for construction, expansion, and operation of telecommunications lines and facilities or systems. The Budget supports the Administration's commitment to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. The Budget limits the use of electric loan funds to renewable energy, transmission, distribution, and carbon capture projects on generation facilities. Due to the limitation in use, the total electric loan level included in the budget is $4.1 billion.RUS will cancel loans obligated, but not disbursed, more than ten years ago. Most electric loans obligated more than ten years ago have either been disbursed or cancelled. However, current law prohibits the cancellation of telecommunications loans in most instances. This has resulted in many outstanding obligations that are older than ten years. Since loans are issued for specific projects, and technology is changing at a very fast pace, it is doubtful that the original project will be accomplished ten years after a loan is approved. Legislation will be proposed to allow the cancellation of all electric and telecommunications loan obligations that are more than ten years old.As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct and guaranteed loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans or loan guarantees that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1230-0-1-2712009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

The Rural Telephone Bank has dissolved. To accomplish this, the Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were used to redeem a portion of the Government's stock. The Rural Telephone Bank liquidating account loans were transferred to the Rural Electrification and Telecommunications liquidating account in 2006.The Rural Utilities Service (RUS) will continue to service all loans in this account providing business management and technical assistance to the borrowers on a regular basis over the life of the loans.This program is financed through RUS direct loans for the construction and operation of generating plants, electric transmission, and distribution lines or systems.As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for rural electrification and telecommunications programs, all cash flows to and from the Government resulting from direct loans obligated and loan guarantees committed prior to 1992. All new activity in RETRF in 1992 and beyond is recorded in corresponding program and financing accounts.The following tables reflect statistics on loans made through the liquidating account only. Since 1992 new electric and telephone loans have been made through a separate program account.ELECTRIC PROGRAM STATISTICS[dollars in millions]2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

The loan and grant program provides access to advanced telecommunications services for improved education and health care in rural areas throughout the country. The loans and grants help education and health care providers bring the most modern technology, level of care, and education to rural America so its citizens can compete regionally, nationally, and globally. The Budget provides discretionary funding for loans to finance installation of broadband transmission capacity. Since there is little demand for the DLT loans, the Budget proposes to not provide any DLT loans in 2011.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1232-0-1-4522009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The Foreign Agricultural Service's (FAS) mission is linking U.S. agriculture to the world to enhance export opportunities and global food security. FAS helps to provide outlets for the wide variety of agriculture products produced by U.S. farmers, thereby enhancing economic activity for U.S. workers. FAS serves U.S. agriculture's interests by expanding and maintaining international export opportunities, supporting international economic development and trade and science capacity building, and supporting climate change analysis and U.S. agricultural interests in international negotiations. The outcomes envisioned are exports that help U.S. agriculture prosper, the expansion of U.S. exports of organics and crops produced using new technologies, food that is globally available, accessible, and appropriately used, and climate change provisions in international agreements that benefit U.S. agriculture. In addition to its Washington-based staff, the agency maintains a network of overseas offices that serve as first responders in cases of market disruption. The overseas offices also provide the Department with critical market and policy intelligence and they represent U.S. agriculture in consultations with foreign governments. A substantial portion of U.S. agricultural cash receipts comes from export sales, making the vitality of rural America heavily dependent on international trade. FAS gives U.S. government policy makers, producer groups, private exporters, and producers the market intelligence they need to develop successful market strategies. Commodity analysts and country experts in Washington and around the world provide timely analysis of global trends, which enable policy makers and private exporters to respond promptly to changes in the international market. FAS's unique relationship with U.S. producer groups, known as cooperators, allows U.S. agriculture to nimbly respond to such changes. FAS also works to gain, maintain, and expand access to foreign markets in the face of unfair trade barriers. Removing existing barriers, while ensuring new ones are not introduced, directly helps rural America thrive. U.S. farm exports benefit from a wide range of programs and services administered by FAS. FAS also facilitates development and access to markets through technical assistance and capacity building programs, which promote the development of trade-friendly regulatory systems and infrastructure in emerging markets. The FAS programs that contribute to agricultural exports include the: Market Access Program (MAP), Foreign Market Development (FMD) Program, Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops (TASC) Program, Emerging Markets Program (EMP), Quality Samples Program, and Export Credit Guarantee Program. FAS promotes the acceptance of crops produced using biotechnology and other new technologies and organic standards around the world by drawing on Attaches covering more than 150 countries and knowledge of negotiations to work with international organizations to develop fair, transparent international standards that will support the use of new technologies. In 2009, approximately 85 percent of the corn, 55 percent of the cotton, and 91 percent of the soybeans planted in the United States were biotech varieties. An estimated 80 percent of U.S. food products contain biotech ingredients and could be negatively affected by restrictive labeling measures, testing requirements, or outright bans. Exports of these crops and other foods produced or processed using modern biotechnology form the core of the U.S. agricultural exports that totaled $115 billion in 2008. Additionally, FAS works with developing countries to expand their capacity to effectively regulate and commercialize crops produced using new technologies. Finally, FAS advances educational programs to introduce government officials and other opinion leaders to the benefits of new technologies, alongside the State Department and private industry. FAS programs that contribute to new technologies include the Borlaug Fellowship Program and the Cochran Fellowship Program. FAS is the link that enables the United States to share both its food resources and its technical expertise with those in need. The FAS global network of agricultural Attaches and locally engaged staff provide first-hand information on foreign agricultural markets, crop conditions, and political dynamics, an institutional knowledge of host countries and long-term relationships with foreign stakeholders. FAS has significant experience administering aid, technical assistance, capacity building programs, and exchanges that build in-country productivity. FAS also manages USDA's component of the Civilian Response Corps and the deployment of USDA experts abroad to assist in developing sustainable food systems in countries which are of high priority for meeting U.S. national security and food security objectives. The programs that support food security include the: McGovern-Dole International Food for Education Program, Food for Progress, Borlaug Fellowship Program, Cochran Fellowship Program, Technical Assistance and Capacity-Building, Civilian Response Corps, and Provincial Reconstruction Team. These capabilities complement USAID capabilities and the overall policy lead of the Department of State. Careful monitoring and analysis of international climate change policies, legislation, and activities ensures that U.S. agriculture receives the full benefit of international agreements and trade rules. FAS provides a global monitoring system for U.S. agricultural trade through its overseas offices. Agricultural Counselors, Attaches, and Officers covering over 150 countries are often the first to hear about issues of concern to U.S. agricultural interests.Special and Trust Fund Receipts(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-2900-0-1-3522009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Trade Adjustment Assistance for Farmers Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers was reauthorized and modified by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 as established by Subtitle C of Title I of the Trade Act of 2002, which amended the Trade Act of 1974. The statute authorizes appropriations to the Department of Agriculture not to exceed $90 million each year for 2009 and for 2010 and $22.5 million for the period beginning October 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010 to carry out the program. The statute requires the Secretary of Agriculture to provide assistance to eligible producers of agricultural commodities and fishermen when production in the most recent marketing year yields less than 85 percent of the average national price, production quantity, value of production, or cash receipts for such commodity for the three preceding marketing years, and increases in imports contributed importantly to such declines, as determined by the Secretary of Agriculture. TAA provides producers of raw agricultural commodities and fishermen, who have been adversely affected by import competition, free technical assistance, the reimbursement of certain travel and per diem costs associated with training, and cash benefits of up to $12,000 for costs that are linked to the development and implementation of business adjustment plans. TAA covers farmers, livestock producers, fish farmers, and fishermen competing with like or directly competitive imported products.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1406-0-1-3512009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

FOREIGN ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS USDA has multiple food aid programs that provide U.S. commodities, technical and financial assistance to address hunger and malnutrition needs worldwide. USDA, working with USAID, delivers food aid programs to meet emergency needs and fosters economic development activities to alleviate global food insecurity.Included in this category are the following activities carried out under Food for Peace Act, also known as Public Law 480 (P.L. 480): Financing sales of agricultural commodities to developing countries for dollars on credit terms, or for local currencies (including for local currencies on credit terms) for use under sec. 104; and for furnishing commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of 1985, as amended (Title I)Funds appropriated for P.L. 480 are used to finance all sales made pursuant to agreements concluded under the authority of Title I. No 2011 funding is requested for new direct credit under Title I; however, funding for administrative expenses associated with managing the existing loan portfolio is requested. No funding is requested for Title I ocean freight differential for 2011.Sales are made to developing countries as defined in section 402(4) of P.L. 480 and must not displace expected commercial sales (secs. 403(e) and (h)). Agreements are made with developing countries for delivery in accordance with the terms of the agreement.Payment by developing countries or private entities may be made over a period of not more than 30 years with a deferral of principal payments for up to five years. Interest accrues at a concessional rate as determined appropriate. Section 411 of P.L. 480 authorizes the President to waive payments of principal and interest under dollar credit sales agreements for countries that meet certain enumerated requirements. Such debt relief may be provided only if the President notifies Congress and may not exceed the amount approved for such purpose in an Act appropriating funds to carry out P.L. 480. Payment by a recipient country may be made in local currencies for use in carrying out activities under section 104 of P.L. 480. Foreign currency received in payment for credit extended may be used for payment of U.S. obligations abroad, subject to the appropriation process. The P.L. 480 program is reimbursed for the dollar value of currencies so used. The financing of sales of agricultural commodities for local currencies on credit terms is subject to the same terms that are applicable to dollar credit financing.Funds appropriated to carry out Title I may be used to furnish commodities to carry out the Food for Progress Act of 1985. Such commodities may be furnished on credit terms or on a grant basis in order to assist developing countries and countries that are emerging democracies that have made a commitment to introduce and expand free enterprise elements in their agricultural economies.Commodities supplied in connection with dispositions abroad (Title II)Under Public Law 480 Title II, agricultural commodities are furnished to meet emergency relief needs and address the underlying causes of food insecurity through non-emergency programs. The Commodity Credit Corporation (the Corporation) is authorized to pay the costs of acquisition, packaging, processing, enrichment, preservation, fortification, transportation, handling, and other incidental costs incurred up to the time of delivery at U.S. ports. The Corporation also pays ocean freight charges, and pays transportation costs to points of entry other than ports in the case of landlocked countries, where carriers to a specific country are not available, where ports cannot be used effectively, or where a substantial savings in costs or time can be effected, and pays general average contributions arising from ocean transport. In addition, transportation costs from designated points of entry or ports of entry abroad to storage and distribution sites and associated storage and distribution costs may be paid for commodities made available to meet urgent and extraordinary relief requirements. P.L. 480 funds reimburse the Corporation for all of the cost items authorized above.SUMMARY OF FOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAMMING[In millions of dollars]2009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

national forest system(including transfers of funds)For necessary expenses of the Forest Service, not otherwise provided for, for management, protection, improvement, and utilization of the National Forest System, $1,551,339,000 $1,585,719,000, to remain available until expended, which shall include 50 percent of all moneys received during prior fiscal years as fees collected under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965, as amended, in accordance with section 4 of the Act (16 U.S.C. 460l-6a(i)): Provided, That, through fiscal year 2012, the Secretary may authorize the expenditure or transfer of up to $10,000,000 to the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, for removal, preparation, and adoption of excess wild horses and burros from National Forest System lands, and for the performance of cadastral surveys to designate the boundaries of such lands That of the funds provided, $40,000,000 shall be deposited in the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Fund for ecological restoration treatments as authorized by 16 U.S.C. 7303(f). (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) The 155 National Forests, 20 National Grasslands, and six land utilization projects located in 44 States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands are managed under multiple-use and sustained-yield principles. The natural resources of timber, minerals, range, wildlife, outdoor recreation, watershed, and soil are used in a planned combination that will best meet the needs of the Nation without impairing productivity of the land or damaging the environment. These management and utilization principles are recognized in the Multiple-Use Sustained-Yield Act of 1960 (16 U.S.C. 528-531) and use an ecological approach to managing the National Forest System.National Forest System (NFS) operations and maintenance provide for the planning, assessment, and conservation of ecosystems while delivering multiple public services and uses. These are delivered through the principal NFS programs of integrated resource restoration; land management planning; inventory and monitoring; recreation, heritage, and wilderness; grazing management; minerals and geology management; landownership management; the Valles Caldera National Preserve; and law enforcement operations. These programs maintain the capability to manage natural resources in a manner consistent with ecological principles and responsibilities. The Budget reflects an accelerated refocusing of national forest management to forest ecosystem restoration project work, including global climate change adaptation and mitigation. The goals of these ecological restoration efforts are to reestablish and retain the resilience of NFS lands, to achieve sustainable management and use, and to provide a broad range of ecosystem services. In order to achieve these goals, the Budget provides $50 million for the Priority Watersheds and Job Stabilization initiative and $40 million for the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Fund. Healthy and resilient landscapes will have a greater capacity to survive natural disturbances, will provide for the natural storage and sustained delivery of high quality water, and will be more resilient and adaptable to changing environmental conditions, including the effects of global climate change.Other NFS programs also support conservation and restoration. Specific actions will depend on the particular needs and priorities identified for a given landscape. These may include management of off-highway vehicle use and other recreation activities, road decommissioning, mitigation of abandoned mine and hazardous material sites, management of excess wild horse and burro populations, enhanced administration of grazing authorizations, and other actions identified as necessary for ecosystem restoration.The Budget reflects the continuing emphasis on Forest Service program performance and accountability agency-wide. The Forest Service has changed its business rules for accomplishment reporting to incorporate not only directly funded work, but also accomplishments achieved through integration between program areas or partnerships with external groups. This reform improves performance and accountability by shifting focus from a highly functionalized approach to one that naturally aligns other programs and partner organizations to achieve multiple goals. By changing how it counts accomplishments, the Agency improves incentives and encourages managers to plan and implement their work, and ensure the fullest possible value per Federal expenditure.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1106-0-1-3022009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Capital Improvement and Maintenance capital improvement and maintenance(including transfer of funds)For necessary expenses of the Forest Service, not otherwise provided for, $556,053,000 $438,393,000, to remain available until expended, for construction, capital improvement, maintenance and acquisition of buildings and other facilities and infrastructure; and for construction, capital improvement, decommissioning, and maintenance of forest roads and trails by the Forest Service as authorized by 16 U.S.C. 532-538 and 23 U.S.C. 101 and 205: Provided, That $90,000,000 $50,371,000 shall be designated for urgently needed road decommissioning, road and trail repair and maintenance and associated activities, and removal of fish passage barriers, especially in areas where Forest Service roads may be contributing to water quality problems in streams and water bodies which support threatened, endangered or sensitive species or community water sources: Provided further, That funds provided herein shall be available for the decommissioning of roads, including unauthorized roads not part of the transportation system, which are no longer needed: Provided further, That no funds shall be expended to decommission any system road until notice and an opportunity for public comment has been provided on each decommissioning project: Provided further, That the decommissioning of unauthorized roads not part of the official transportation system shall be expedited in response to threats to public safety, water quality, or natural resources: Provided further, That funds becoming available in fiscal year 2010 under the Act of March 4, 1913 (16 U.S.C. 501) shall be transferred to the General Fund of the Treasury and shall not be available for transfer or obligation for any other purpose unless the funds are appropriated. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) Funding provides for capital improvement, decommissioning, and maintenance of Forest Service assets including facilities, roads, and trails. Addressing critical maintenance and operational components of the Forest Service demonstrates our commitment to maintaining a healthy environment. The program emphasizes an efficient and effective infrastructure that supports public and administrative uses and quality recreation experiences with minimal impact to ecosystem stability and conditions.Capital improvement of facilities, roads and trails includes alteration of existing assets to change the function, expansion of an asset to change the capacity or to serve needs that are different from what was originally intended and new construction. Maintenance is divided into three primary areas: annual maintenance, deferred maintenance, and decommissioning. Deferred maintenance includes the repair, rehabilitation or replacement of the asset or components of the asset.Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of recreation developed sites, fire, administrative, and other (FA&O) facilities, including visitor centers, research facilities, telecommunication sites and towers, and dams. The program also includes the acquisition of buildings and other facilities necessary to carry out the mission of the Forest Service. Maintenance for FA&O projects costing less than $250,000 is financed separately through a multi-program assessment to Research, State and Private Forestry, National Forest System, Wildland Fire Management, Land Acquisition and the Capital Improvement and Maintenance appropriations, along with eligible Permanent and Trust Funds. The Budget reflects a base rate for buildings plus a graduated rate that recognizes different facility types, which together, are limited to 4 percent of the facility replacement value and not to exceed $7 per square foot.Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of the national forest road system, including bridges and terminal facilities such as parking lots, trailhead parking, camping spurs and truck turnarounds. The program also focuses on decommissioning unneeded roads, unauthorized roads and/or roads that are degrading the ecosystem. The agency will continue to address the growing road system maintenance backlog. Funding priorities are health and safety, resource protection, aquatic passage, and mission critical needs. The Budget proposes all of the funds in the Roads line item be used to maintain, store, or decommission existing roads. No new roads are proposed to be constructed.Provides for capital improvement and maintenance of National Forest System trails. Funding is used to protect capital investments by keeping trails open for access and protecting vegetation, soil, and water quality. Work includes clearing the pathway of encroaching vegetation and fallen trees, and repairing or improving trail signs, treadways, drainage facilities, and bridges. Infrastructure ImprovementProvides for capital improvement and maintenance directed toward reducing the backlog in deferred maintenance on National Forest System roads and trails, as well as recreation developed sites and FA&O facilities. Funding priorities are to ensure the safety of the public, agency employees, volunteers and contractors.The Budget includes $50 million for the Legacy Roads and Trails program. Funds will be used for needed road decommissioning, where inaction can lead to water quality issues in streams and water bodies which support threatened and endangered species (TES) or community water systems, removal or replacement of stream crossing structures that are barriers to aquatic organism passage, and road and trail repair in environmentally sensitive areas.

Forest and Rangeland Research forest and rangeland researchFor necessary expenses of forest and rangeland research as authorized by law, $312,012,000 $304,354,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That of the funds provided, $66,939,000 $61,939,000 is for the forest inventory and analysis program. gifts, donations and bequests for forest and rangeland researchFor expenses authorized by 16 U.S.C. 1643(b), $50,000, to remain available until expended, to be derived from the fund established pursuant to the above Act. (Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) Forest Service Research & Development (FS R&D) is one of the world's leading forestry research organizations. It conducts ecological and social science research to understand ecosystems, how humans influence those ecosystems, how those ecosystems respond to climate change, and how forests can be managed sustainably to enable both environmental conservation and economic expansion. Research is conducted at five Research Stations, the Forest Products Laboratory, and the International Institute of Tropical Forestry located in Puerto Rico.FS R&D consists of three components: foundations, growth platforms, and strategic program areas. The two foundations, Forest Inventory and Analysis and Experimental Forests and Ranges, use long- term monitoring to provide data for both current and future research needs. Emerging research focus on emerging research areas. The five areas identified are Climate Change, Biomass and Bioenergy, Urban Natural Resources Stewardship, Watershed Management and Restoration, and Nanotechnology. The seven strategic areas are Wildland Fire and Fuels; Invasive Species; Outdoor Recreation; Resource Management and Use; Water, Air, and Soil; Wildlife and Fish; and Inventory and Monitoring.In 2011, FS R&D will continue to improve forest and rangeland managers' abilities to reintroduce fire to its natural role, respond appropriately to climate change, and mitigate losses from native insects and pathogens. FS R&D researchers answer land managers' scientific questions about climate change, fire behavior, risk assessment and mitigation for multiple hazards, and utilization opportunities for the biomass that contributes to overcrowded, unhealthy forests. Priority will also be placed on making improvements in woody biomass utilization for energy, alternative fuels, and value-added products to help stimulate removal of hazardous fuels from forests at risk of wildfire. Tools and technologies will be modified, adapted, or developed to serve the priorities of land managers dealing with wildland fire, climate change, invasive species, and other management challenges.The Inventory and Monitoring strategic program area provides the resource data, analysis, and tools needed to identify current status and trends of forests, management options and impacts, and threats from fire, insects, disease, and other natural processes, enhancing the use and value of our Nation's forests and grasslands. Assessing current and potential effects of climate change depends on the monitoring of forest ecosystems at greatest risk to rapid change.The Budget continues efforts that optimize the delivery of research findings by improving Forest Service management of investments in research, development, and applications. Funds will be targeted to leading-edge technical assistance on a competitive basis with innovative partnerships and science and technology applications. FS R&D will continue to strive to reach the target of having 20 percent of the budget in extramural funding by 2011.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1104-0-1-3022009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) State and Private Forestry programs provide assistance to landowners and resource managers to help sustain forests on State and private lands, in both rural and urban areas, to meet domestic and international demands for goods and services. State and Private Forestry programs help facilitate sound stewardship and provide tools to address climate change across lands of all ownerships on a landscape scale, while maintaining the flexibility for individual forest landowners to pursue their objectives.Includes funding for Federal and cooperative lands to maintain healthy, productive ecosystems by preventing, detecting, and suppressing damaging native and invasive forest and tree insects and diseases across all land ownerships and invasive plants on cooperative lands. Through the use of a newly updated science-based forest health risk map, the Budget reflects allocations of program funding that address national priorities and reduce risk in the most effective and efficient manner. Changes in insect, disease, and invasive plant geographic range, population dynamics of host preferences of pests, and other changes in pest activity will be documented. Links to climate change effects will be explored.Cooperative Fire ProtectionIncludes funding to enhance the capacity of States to provide effective initial attack and coordinated fire suppression response, reduce hazardous fuels in and adjacent to communities, and purchase and maintain equipment. Funding also supports training, planning, and fire prevention education that include the "Smokey Bear" and Firewise programs. Includes the Forest Stewardship, Forest Legacy, Urban and Community Forestry, the Community Forest and Open Space Conservation Program, and Forest Resources Information and Analysis programs. This suite of complementary programs helps maintain the integrity of our nation's valuable forested landscapes and supports the Federal interest in obtaining public benefits from private forests that include an array of social, economic, and environmental benefits from these landscapes. The Cooperative Forestry programs will continue to provide assistance to landowners and to conserve private lands.The Forest Legacy Program partners with States to protect environmentally sensitive forestlands. The Budget includes a $21 million increase for a total of $100 million to acquire easements on forested lands threatened by land conversion through conservation easements and fee simple purchases. These conservation easements will protect air and water quality; provide access for recreation ; and provide habitat for threatened or endangered wildlife and fish.The Forest Stewardship Program provides professional forestry assistance to landowners to encourage sound environmental management of non-industrial private forest lands. The Urban and Community Forestry program provides technical, financial and educational assistance to cities and towns nationwide so they can improve the condition and extent of their trees and forests to achieve the full range of benefits and services from these resources. This program improves the lives of most Americans near their home, where they live, and work. The Forest Resources Information and Analysis program provides cost-share assistance to participating States that contribute to Research and Development's Forest Inventory and Analysis program.Includes funding to promote sustainable forest management globally, bringing important technologies and innovations back to the United States. International Programs, working closely with other U.S. government agencies, collaborates with other governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to address climate change and deforestation through policy engagement and technical cooperation.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1105-0-1-3022009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

wildfire suppression shall be assessed for cost pools on the same basis as such assessments are calculated against other agency programs.(Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) This appropriation provides funding for Forest Service fire management, presuppression, and suppression on National Forest System lands, adjacent State and private lands, and other lands under fire protection agreement.To protect National Forest System (NFS) lands from damage by wildfires commensurate with the threat to life, values at risk, public values, and management objectives.Preparedness provides the basic fire organization and capability to prevent forest fires and to take prompt, effective initial attack suppression operations action on wildfires. This funding covers expenses associated with planning, prevention, detection, information, and education; pre-incident training; equipment and supply purchase and replacement; and other preparedness activities. Through this program the Forest Service also assists other Federal agencies and States with planning assistance, sharing joint equipment use contracts, and interagency fire coordination centers. The Budget includes funding for not less than 10,480 wildland firefighters.Readiness levels reflect improvements in efficiencies and management controls, including those gained through a centralized aviation services office, as well as management of national shared resources such as large airtankers, helitankers, hotshot crews and smokejumpers. The Budget improves the transparency, accountability, and alignment of Forest Service budget execution with priorities, and it also reflects the deployment of a system that allocates fire preparedness resources (e.g., firefighters and equipment) effectively across geographic areas.Risk-informed suppression of wildland fires on or threatening NFS lands, Department of the Interior lands, or other lands under fire protection agreement. The Budget responsibly budgets for wildfires, providing full funding of the ten-year average of suppression costs, adjusted for inflation, and includes indirect costs as required by Congress. In addition, a discretionary contingency funding reserve is proposed in recognition that the 10-year average may not be sufficient. Also, per Congress' direction in the 2010 Interior Appropriations Act, a FLAME fund has been created to pay for the most severe, complex, and threatening fires, and suppression and preparedness costs have been realigned to inform a more accurate 10-year average cost of fire suppression. To improve the management of wildland fire resources, the Forest Service will:--Utilize the Senior Fire Leadership Council to provide executive level oversight monitoring of Suppression expenditures.--Implement key findings from 2009 and prior year large fire cost reviews.--Continue implementation of performance improvements including monitoring and analyzing large fire suppression expenditures with the stratified cost index and reducing the number of human caused ignitions.--Utilize a risk-informed management response strategy for unplanned ignitions to manage risk, maximize resource utilization, manage loss and contain costs.--Implement the updated implementation guidance for the Federal Wildland Fire policy, and, as appropriate, account for wildfires that contribute to attainment of desired ecological and natural resource conditions.--Accurately share firefighting costs in the wildland-urban interface, or WUI, between responding agencies.--Expand the use of the Wildland Fire Decision Support System (WFDSS), and its new decision analysis, to support managers in analyzing risk relative to strategic suppression decisions which affect suppression costs, firefighter and public safety, and impacts to property and resources. --Utilize an integrated system to procure and allocate firefighting assets that improves their systems for determining the appropriate type and quantity of firefighting assets needed for the fire season or for effectively and efficiently procuring them.--Place priority on those projects associated with a community wildfire protection plan, or equivalent.These actions highlight important refinements within the Forest Services wildland fire management program that strengthen oversight and accountability of suppression spending and use risk management principles to guide decision-making at the strategic, program, and operational levels. As part of these refinements, the Forest Service will categorize incidents by risk and apply operational and managerial protocols to guide the risk-informed allocation and use of resources; improve firefighter and community safety; and develop and use credible performance indicators. By identifying and analyzing risk in a systematic fashion, the Forest Service is better equipped to assess wildfire intensity and associated threats posed to lives, improved property, or the environment. This risk-informed fire protection system allows agency administrators the ability to choose from a full spectrum of wildfire management actions and appropriately scale their responses to the risks posed. Other Wildland Fire Operations-Hazardous FuelsThis appropriation provides funding for treatment of hazardous fuels on National Forest System lands and adjacent State and private lands. Hazardous fuel reduction is a vegetative manipulation program designed to modify the arrangement or reduce the volume of fuels. The program includes prescribed burning, mechanical treatments, and other methods. The hazardous fuels program includes activities that maintain desired fuel conditions with the intent of altering fire behavior and reducing future impacts of wildland fires. Increasing the use of fire is necessary for the retention of long term carbon sequestration capability of national forest managed lands.The strategy of focusing treatments on the wildland urban interface will help minimize large, destructive, and costly wildfires, thereby protecting both communities and natural resources, reducing safety risks to firefighters and the public, and reducing wildfire suppression costs. In 2011, all Hazardous Fuels funds will be allocated using the Hazardous Fuel Prioritization Allocation System, which ranks and prioritizes projects based on factors such as fire risk, value of the resources at risk, efficiency of treatments, and effectiveness of treatments. Priority will be given to projects identified in Community Wildfire Protection Plans.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1115-0-1-3022009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

(Department of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010.) Amounts in the FLAME fund include the portion of the ten-year average of suppression obligations, adjusted for inflation, intended to support the most severe, complex, and threatening fires. The Secretary may permit transfers from this account to cover these extreme fire events. The Secretary may also transfer funds in the event that USDA has exhausted its suppression resources due to an active fire season.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1120-0-1-3022009 actual2010 est.2011 est.

Presidential Wildland Fire Contingency Reserve Presidential Wildland Fire Contingency ReserveFor necessary expenses for emergency fire suppression operations of the Department of Agriculture, $282,000,000, to remain available until expended: Provided, That such amounts are available only for transfer to the "Wildland Fire Management" account, and may be transferred only if (1) the Secretary of Agriculture has issued a declaration that all funds appropriated for emergency fire suppression operations under the headings "Wildland Fire Management" and "FLAME Wildfire Suppression Reserve Fund" will be exhausted within 30 days, and (2) the President issues a written determination that the transfer of such amounts is necessary for emergency fire suppression and Federal emergency response operations. . The Budget reflects the President's commitment to wildfire management and community protection by establishing a new Presidential Wildland Fire Suppression Contingency Reserve that will provide up to $282 million for the Department of Agriculture's emergency fire suppression operations. These funds will be available after the fully funded inflation-adjusted ten year average of suppression costs is exhausted. Amounts in the Presidential Wildland Fire Contingency Reserve, coupled with reforms to the Department of Agriculture's wildland firefighting program, minimize the need for the Department of Agriculture to transfer funds from non-fire programs to pay for firefighting when its appropriated suppression funds are exhausted. It will also lead to improved wildfire operations and promote safe, cost-effective, and accountable results from investments made in managing fire on landscapes.Program and Financing(in millions of dollars)Identification code 12-1107-0-1-3022009 actual2010 est.2011 est.
