Abstract
The purpose of this final rule is to adopt as final, with change, the interim rule published in the Federal Register on September 29, 1997 (62 FR 50850). This final rule sets forth the regulations necessary for implementing the 1997 Tree Assistance Program (TAP). The Act Making Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for Recovery from Natural Disasters for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1997 (the Act), authorized TAP assistance to small orchardists to replace or rehabilitate trees and vineyards damaged by natural disasters. Due to limited funds appropriated for this program, the losses for which reimbursement is sought are limited to natural disasters that occurred between October 1, 1996, and September 30, 1997. Cost-share assistance may not exceed 100 percent of the eligible replacement or rehabilitation costs and may be based on average costs or the actual costs for the replanting practices, as determined by the Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs.
