## Abstract

This rule amends cotton loan eligibility, packaging, and storage approval requirements to permit extra long staple (ELS) cotton to be stored outside while pledged as collateral for a Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) marketing assistance loan. The intent of this rule is to permit producers to reduce storage costs for ELS cotton without increasing risk of quality or value loss to producers, merchants, CCC, or ultimate users of the cotton. This interim rule is effective upon its publication, but provides an opportunity for the public to comment on the administration of the new provisions.
