Abstract
This interim rule sets forth the regulations for the Small Hog Operation Payment Program as authorized by clause (3) of section 32 of the Act of August 24, 1935 (7 USC 612c). Producers of hogs may receive a direct payment of up to $5 for each eligible hog to help offset producers' financial losses on hogs sold during the 6-month period from July 1, 1998, through December 31, 1998. This action is designed to provide immediate financial assistance to hog producers who recently experienced the lowest market prices in over five decades.
