§ 1464.305 - Signup.

(a) For losses in North Carolina (as provided for in § 1464.304) a request for benefits under this subpart must be submitted to the CCC at the county FSA office that is designated as the administrative office for the farm on which the tobacco was produced. All requests for benefits and supporting documentation must be filed in the county FSA office by the date established by the Deputy Administrator. However, parties seeking an exception to the normal rules of eligibility in § 1464.304 shall, in lieu of filing a claim with the county committee, file a petition directly with the Deputy Administrator. Such petitions for exception must be filed by the date established by the Deputy Administrator for filing requests for benefits and supporting documentation, or fifteen days after the date of the publication of this regulation, whichever is later, in order to be considered.

(b) Data furnished by the applicants will be used to determine eligibility for program benefits. Furnishing the data is voluntary; however, without it program benefits will not be provided.
