## Abstract

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) amends the General Crop Insurance Regulations, General Crop Insurance Policy located at 7 CFR part 401. The intended effect of this interim rule is to remove restrictions mandated by the Food Security Act of 1985 that preclude eligibility for crop insurance for any person who in any crop year produces an agricultural commodity on a field which is classified as predominantly highly erodible land (sodbuster provision) or converted wetland (swampbuster provision). The Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 (the 1996 Act) amends the crop insurance restrictions, so producers who are in violation of the sodbuster/swampbuster provisions will be eligible for crop insurance coverage on or after July 3, 1996.
