SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
ELAP, LFP, and LIP use CCC funds to provide emergency relief to
eligible producers (7 U.S.C. 9081). FSA administers ELAP, LFP and LIP
on behalf of CCC. ELAP provides assistance to producers of livestock,
honeybees, and farm-raised fish to aid in the reduction of losses due
to disease, adverse weather, or other conditions, such as blizzards and
wildfires, as determined by the Secretary, that are not covered by LIP
or LFP.\1\ LFP provides assistance to livestock producers who suffer
eligible grazing losses on land physically located in a county
experiencing a qualifying drought during the normal grazing period for
the county or are prohibited by a Federal agency from grazing the
normal permitted livestock on managed rangeland due to a qualifying
fire.\2\ LIP provides assistance for livestock deaths in excess of
normal mortality caused by adverse weather or by attacks by animals
reintroduced into the wild by the Federal Government.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This rule makes discretionary changes to simplify and streamline
the deadlines for ELAP, LFP, and LIP. It also makes discretionary
changes to the ELAP regulations for assistance for transportation of
livestock feed.
Deadlines for ELAP, LFP, and LIP
This rule amends the regulations for ELAP, LFP, and LIP to have a
single deadline across all three programs for filing a notice of loss
(required for ELAP \4\ and LIP \5\), an application for payment, and
other required documentation. Previously, each of the three programs
had multiple deadlines and time frames for submitting required forms
and documentation, and those deadlines also varied among the three
programs. These changes are intended to improve efficiencies for
producers and FSA staff, provide clarity regarding program timelines,
and give FSA staff sufficient time to deliver support to producers who
have suffered eligible losses due to disaster events.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See 7 CFR 1416.107(a).
\5\ See 7 CFR 1416.305(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This rule changes the deadlines in Sec. Sec. 1416.107, 1416.202,
and 1416.305 to specify that the deadline to file a notice of loss, an
application for payment, and required documentation for each program is
March 1 following the end of the applicable program year, which is
based on the calendar year for the three
[[Page 5494]]
programs. The deadline changes are effective beginning with the 2024
program year, which began on January 1, 2024. Producers who suffered
eligible losses for the 2024 program year prior to the publication of
this rule may submit documents or make changes to previously filed
documents for these programs by the new deadline of March 1, 2025, even
if the previous deadline had passed.
ELAP Assistance for Feed Transportation
Under ELAP, in addition to the purposes described in 7 U.S.C.
9081(d)(1), the CCC funds are authorized to be used to reduce losses
caused by feed or water shortages, disease, or other factors as
determined by the Secretary, including inspections of cattle tick fever
(7 U.S.C. 9081(d)(2)). Feed transportation was added as an eligible
loss for ELAP in a final rule published on April 6, 2022 (87 FR 19783-
19786), to provide assistance to livestock producers in areas suffering
from eligible adverse weather, an eligible loss condition, or eligible
drought, who incur additional hauling costs because they are forced to
transport feed from unaffected areas. To be eligible for ELAP
assistance for feed transportation, producers must have a loss
resulting from the additional cost to transport livestock feed to
eligible livestock for additional mileage above normal, due to eligible
adverse weather, an eligible loss condition, or eligible drought.\6\
Payments are calculated by multiplying a national payment rate by the
national average price per mile to transport a truckload of livestock
feed, multiplied by the actual number of additional miles the feed was
transported by the producer in excess of 25 miles per truckload of
livestock feed and for no more than 1,000 miles per truckload of feed
during the program year.\7\ This rule makes several changes to the ELAP
regulations to clarify the feed transportation eligibility and
documentation requirements and ensure that ELAP assistance for feed
transportation is provided only for eligible losses as authorized and
described in the April 2022 final rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 7 CFR 1416.103(d)(6).
\7\ See 7 CFR 1416.110(n).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first of those changes adds provisions to the ELAP regulations
in Sec. 1416.103(d)(6) to specify that an eligible loss from the
additional cost to transport livestock feed is limited to the cost to
transport feed to meet the feed needs for eligible livestock during the
program year in which the eligible adverse weather, eligible loss
condition, or eligible drought occurred. The provisions also clarify
that the cost to transport livestock feed is not an eligible loss if
the feed is purchased or obtained:
<bullet> in excess of the amount needed for the program year in
which the eligible adverse weather, eligible loss condition, or
eligible drought occurred, which will be determined as described below
in the changes to Sec. 1416.110(q);
<bullet> to sell to another producer;
<bullet> for another producer's livestock; or
<bullet> for ineligible livestock.
This rule also amends provisions in Sec. 1416.106(c)(5) regarding
documentation to specify that a participant must provide verifiable or
reliable records, as defined in Sec. 1416.102, that show the
additional livestock feed was only purchased or obtained to sustain
eligible livestock during an eligible adverse weather or loss
condition. The provisions also specify that handwritten receipts are
not considered eligible documentation for feed transportation without
accompanying truck logs or other documentation to verify the cost of
transportation, and payments in cash must have a verifiable record to
verify that the transaction was made between two parties. These changes
allow FSA to confirm that losses claimed for feed transportation are
eligible losses as described above.
To prevent payments for ineligible feed transportation costs, this
rule also adds provisions in Sec. 1416.110(q) that limit the amount of
an ELAP payment for feed transportation based on the expected feed need
of a producer's eligible animals.
First, FSA will convert the number of eligible livestock identified
on the application to an animal unit basis, using the same methodology
used for ELAP assistance for water transportation and grazing
losses.\8\ As provided in 7 CFR 1416.110(i)(1), FSA determined that the
corn need for an adult cow, which is equal to 1 animal unit, is 15.7
pounds per day. Forage or hay requirements for an adult beef cow are
approximately 24 pounds of dry hay matter per day, or approximately 26
pounds of hay with 8 percent moisture.\9\ To allow for a reasonable
variation in the amount of feed consumed by eligible livestock, FSA
will multiply the number of animal units by 24 pounds of corn or corn
equivalent (equal to 15.7 pounds multiplied by 150 percent, rounded up
to the nearest pound) or 39 pounds of hay or forage (equal to 26 pounds
of hay multiplied by 150 percent). FSA will multiply the result of that
calculation by the number of calendar days in the time period from the
beginning date of the eligible drought or other eligible loss condition
until the end of the program year to determine the maximum amount of
feed for which transportation assistance will be provided. Any loads
hauled in excess of that amount during the program year are not
eligible for assistance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ One animal unit is equal to one adult beef, buffalo, or
beefalo adult cow or bull. FSA has determined animal unit
equivalents for other eligible livestock types. For example, FSA has
determined that one adult dairy cow is equal to 2.6 animal units.
\9\ See <a href="https://u.osu.edu/beef/2015/11/18/how-much-hay-will-a-cow-consume">https://u.osu.edu/beef/2015/11/18/how-much-hay-will-a-cow-consume</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notice and Comment, Effective Date, and Exemptions
The Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) provides that the
notice and comment and 30-day delay in the effective date provisions do
not apply when the rule involves a matter relating to agency management
or personnel, or to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or
contracts. This rule involves programs for payments to certain
agricultural commodity producers and thus falls within the exemption
for rules related to benefits. Further, as specified in 7 U.S.C.
9091(c)(2), the regulations to implement ELAP, LFP, and LIP are:
<bullet> Exempt from the notice and comment provisions of 5 U.S.C.
553; and
<bullet> Exempt from the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter
35).
In addition, 7 U.S.C. 9091(c)(3) directs the Secretary to use the
authority provided in 5 U.S.C. 808 (part of the Congressional Review
Act), which provides that when an agency finds there is good cause that
notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest, the rule may take effect at such time as the
agency determines. The beneficiaries of this rule have been impacted by
eligible disaster events, which have resulted in economic losses, and
the changes made by this rule simplify and streamline the delivery of
assistance and ensure assistance is directed to eligible losses. FSA
finds that a delay in the effective date of the rule is contrary to the
public interest and therefore this rule is effective upon publication
in the Federal Register.
This rule is exempt from the regulatory analysis requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), as amended by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996.
Subtitle E of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness
Act of 1996 (also known as the Congressional Review Act) requires a
delay in the effective date for 60 days from the date
[[Page 5495]]
of publication to allow for Congressional review of rules that meet the
criteria specified in 5 U.S.C. 804(2). The Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has determined that this rule meets the criteria in
5 U.S.C. 804(2). As discussed above, FSA finds that a delay in the
effective date of the rule is contrary to the public interest and
therefore this rule is effective upon publication in the Federal
Register.
Executive Orders 12866, 13563, and 14094
Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' was
amended by Executive Order 13563, ``Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review,'' and Executive Order 14094, ``Modernizing Regulatory Review.''
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs
and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits.
The assessment should include potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity. Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. The requirements in Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 for
the analysis of costs and benefits apply to rules that are determined
to be significant.
Executive Order 14094 requires Federal agencies to increase and
improve public participation in the regulatory process. The Executive
order's objective is to improve public trust in the regulatory process
by reducing the risk or appearance of unequal or unfair influence in
regulatory development.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) designated this rule as
not significant under Executive Order 12866, and therefore, OMB has not
reviewed this rule and an analysis of costs and benefits is not
required under either Executive Order 12866 or 13563.
Environmental Review
The environmental impacts of this final rule have been considered
in a manner consistent with the provisions of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321-4347), the regulations
of the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts 1500 through
1508), the USDA regulation for compliance with NEPA (7 CFR part 1b),
and because FSA will be making the payments to producers, the FSA
regulation for compliance with NEPA (7 CFR part 799).
This rule makes discretionary, administrative changes to ELAP, LFP,
and LIP. The discretionary aspects are to improve administration of
these programs and clarify existing program requirements. FSA is
providing the disaster assistance under ELAP, LFP, and LIP to eligible
producers. The discretionary, administrative provisions would not alter
any environmental impacts resulting from implementing the mandatory
changes to ELAP, LFP, and LIP. Accordingly, these discretionary,
administrative aspects are covered by the following Categorical
Exclusion in 7 CFR 799.31(b)(6)(vi) safety net programs administrated
by FSA.
Through this review, FSA determined that the proposed discretionary
changes in this rule fit within the categorical exclusions listed
above. Categorical exclusions apply when no extraordinary circumstances
(Sec. 799.33) exist. This rule presents only discretionary amendments
that will not have an impact on the human environment, individually or
cumulatively. Therefore, FSA will not prepare an environmental
assessment or environmental impact statement for this rule. This rule
serves as documentation of the environmental compliance decision for
this Federal action.
Executive Order 12988
This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, ``Civil
Justice Reform.'' This rule will not preempt State or local laws,
regulations, or policies unless they represent an irreconcilable
conflict with this rule. The changes made by this rule will be
effective retroactively for the 2024 program year, as discussed above.
Before any judicial actions may be brought regarding the provisions of
this rule, the administrative appeal provisions of 7 CFR parts 11 and
780 are to be exhausted.
Executive Order 13175
This rule has been reviewed in accordance with the requirements of
Executive Order 13175, ``Consultation and Coordination with Indian
Tribal Governments.'' Executive Order 13175 requires Federal agencies
to consult and coordinate with Tribes on a government-to-government
basis on policies that have Tribal implications, including regulations,
legislative comments, or proposed legislation, and other policy
statements or actions that have substantial direct effects on one or
more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government
and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes.
FSA has assessed the impact of this rule on Indian Tribes and
determined that this rule does not, to our knowledge, have significant
Tribal implications that require ongoing adherence to Executive Order
13175 at this time. If a Tribe requests consultation, the USDA Office
of Tribal Relations will ensure meaningful consultation is provided
where changes, additions, and modifications are not expressly mandated
by law.
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA, Pub. L.
104-4) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their
regulatory actions on State, local, and Tribal governments or the
private sector. Agencies generally must prepare a written statement,
including a cost benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with
Federal mandates that may result in expenditures of $100 million or
more in any 1 year for State, local, or Tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or to the private sector. UMRA generally requires agencies
to consider alternatives and adopt the more cost effective or least
burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule. This
rule contains no Federal mandates, as defined in Title II of UMRA, for
State, local, and Tribal governments, or the private sector. Therefore,
this rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of
UMRA.

(6) A loss resulting from the additional cost incurred on or after
January 1, 2021, to transport eligible livestock to feed or livestock
feed to eligible livestock for additional mileage above normal, due to
eligible adverse weather, an eligible loss condition, or eligible
drought, as determined by the Deputy Administrator, including costs
associated with treating livestock feed to prevent the spread of
invasive pests. The cost of the feed is not eligible for payment.
Negligence, mismanagement, or wrongdoing by the producer is not
considered an eligible loss condition for livestock or feed
transportation costs. To be eligible for a loss under this paragraph
(d)(6), the livestock must be livestock that would normally have been
on eligible grazing lands physically located in the county where the
eligible adverse weather, eligible loss condition, or eligible drought,
as determined by the Deputy Administrator, occurred. The eligible loss
from the additional cost to transport livestock feed is limited to the
cost to transport feed to meet the feed needs of eligible livestock for
the program year in which the eligible adverse weather, eligible loss
condition, or eligible drought occurred. The cost to transport
livestock feed is not an eligible loss if the feed is purchased or
obtained:
(i) In excess of the amount needed for the program year in which
eligible adverse weather, eligible loss condition, or eligible drought
occurred, as determined according to Sec. 1416.110(q);

include, but are not limited to, commercial receipts, contemporaneous
records, and invoices. Handwritten receipts are not acceptable without
accompanying truck logs or other documentation to verify the cost of
transportation. Cash payments must be supported by a verifiable record
indicating that the transaction was made between two parties. Records
must clearly indicate the dates on which livestock or feed was
transported and the total mileage transported. A participant must
