CFR Part: "7 CFR Part 457"

RIN Number: "RIN 0563-AC79"

Citation: "87 FR 52852"

Document Number: "Docket ID FCIC-22-0004"

Page Number: "52852"

"Rules and Regulations"

Agency: "Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)."

SUMMARY: On June 30, 2022, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation revised the Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) Regulations, Common Crop Insurance Policy (CCIP) Basic Provisions, and 20 Crop Provisions. That final rule contained some incorrect references, missing words, grammatical and spelling errors, repetitive parenthetical titles, and inadvertently removed text in the amendatory instructions. This document makes the corrections.

   DATES: Effective August 30, 2022.

   FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Francie Tolle; telephone (816) 926-7730; email [email protected]. Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication should contact the USDA Target Center at (202) 720-2600 or 844-433-2774.

   SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background The Common Crop Insurance Regulations in 7 CFR part 457 were revised by a final rule with request for comments published in the Federal Register on June 30, 2022 (87 FR 38883-38900). Changes were made in that rule to the Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) Basic Provisions (7 CFR part 407), Common Crop Insurance Policy (CCIP) Basic Provisions (7 CFR 457.8), and 20 Crop Provisions. In reviewing the changes made, FCIC found some incorrect references, missing words, grammatical and spelling errors, repetitive parenthetical titles, and inadvertently missing text that was included in the amendatory instructions. This document makes the corrections in the following Provisions:

    * Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions (7 CFR 457.8)

    * Pear Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.111);

    * Guaranteed Production Plan of Fresh Market Tomato (7 CFR 457.128);

    * Macadamia Nut Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.131);

    * Onion Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.135);

    * Fresh Market Tomato Dollar Plan Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.139);

    * Table Grape Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.149);

    * Pecan Revenue Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.167);

    * Cabbage Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.171);

    * Florida Avocado Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.173); and

    * California Avocado Crop Insurance Provisions (7 CFR 457.175).

   List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 457 Acreage allotments, Crop insurance, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Accordingly, 7 CFR part 457 is corrected by making the following amendments:

   PART 457--COMMON CROP INSURANCE REGULATIONS

Authority:7 U.S.C. 1506(l), 1506(o).

   a. In section 20, revising paragraph (d)(1);

   c. In section 38, in paragraph (b)(2), removing "3(g)" and adding "section 3(g)" in its place.

(ii) If you disagree with our decision of what constitutes a good farming practice you may request through us that FCIC review our decision. Requests for FCIC review must be made within 30 days of the postmark date on the written notice of the determination regarding good farming practices.
