## Abstract

We are amending the Karnal bunt regulations by adding compensation provisions for certain growers, handlers, seed companies, owners of grain storage facilities, flour millers, and participants in the National Karnal Bunt Survey who incur losses and expenses because of Karnal bunt in the 1996-1997 crop season. The payment of compensation is necessary in order to reduce the economic impact of the Karnal bunt regulations on affected wheat growers and other individuals, and to help obtain cooperation from affected individuals in Karnal bunt eradication efforts. The amendments are necessary to make compensation appropriate for circumstances in the 1996-1997 crop season.
