Abstract

This rule sets forth at 7 CFR part 1400 the regulations to implement provisions of the Farm Security Act of 1985 (1985 Act) as amended by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (2002 Act) regarding limits on the income of individuals and entities eligible for certain USDA commodity and conservation programs. These regulations set forth the criteria to determine whether income limits have been exceeded by an applicant for those benefits. The final rule, generally, provides that, for individuals, CCC will use the adjusted gross incomes reported in the prior three years to the United States Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and a comparable measure for other entities such as corporations, limited partnerships, and charitable organizations. This rule also includes an addition to subpart C of this part concerning payment eligibility determinations for program participants who are reservist military personnel called to active duty as the result of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and other similar military operations. The rule is intended, as provided by the 1985 Act, to impose limits on the amount of average adjusted gross income that a program participant can have and still remain eligible for program benefits and also allow reservist military personnel called to active duty to remain eligible for payments in certain circumstances.
