## Abstract

The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) is amending its commercial export program regulations to change the definition of the term ``U.S. agricultural commodity.'' These changes are to conform the applicable regulations with a provision of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996. This final rule is applicable to the Export Enhancement Program (EEP), the Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP), CCC's Export Credit Guarantee Program (GSM-102), CCC's Intermediate Export Credit Guarantee Program (GSM-103), and the Supplier Credit Guarantee Program (SCGP). The revised definition contains two subparagraphs. The first subparagraph is similar to the current definition of U.S. agricultural commodity. The second subparagraph applies only to a product of an agricultural commodity that the Secretary designates as a high value product. Under the applicable statute and the revised definition, if this designation is made, to qualify as a U.S. agricultural commodity 90 percent or more of the agricultural components of the product (by weight, excluding packaging and water) must be entirely produced in the United States.
