§ 1439.701 - General statement.

(a) This subpart sets forth the terms and conditions of the FLRP. This program may be authorized by DAFP, upon a determination that foundation livestock owners have been forced to feed excessive quantities of livestock feed and a Presidential disaster declaration has been issued for the State or county as a result of snow and freezing and related conditions. Under the program, CCC will provide cash reimbursement for eligible livestock feed purchases to the livestock owner and other persons or entities (public and private), whose usage of normal livestock feed supplies was adversely affected by natural disasters. Cost-share assistance is provided at 30 percent of the lesser of actual eligible livestock feed costs shown on acceptable feed purchase documents or the calculated feed allowance for eligible livestock for a period not to exceed 30 days. This program shall terminate at the conclusion of the 1996 livestock feed crop year.

(b) As determined by DAFP, FLRP may be authorized for any length of time not to exceed a 30-day feeding period. Subsequent feeding periods of the same or different duration may be designated by DAFP for the same or related disaster conditions.
