The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) published an interim rule in the Federal Register (62 FR 3195) on January 22, 1997, to announce the availability of assistance under the Disaster Reserve Assistance Program (DRAP). The assistance was for livestock producers whose production of livestock feed was adversely affected by severe winter disaster conditions. Authority for the program is set forth in section 813 of the Agricultural Act of 1970, as amended. This final rule adopts the interim rule with modifications that became necessary during the administration of the program due to circumstances unforeseen at the time the interim rule was written, but which became necessary because of the severity of the disaster.
