§ 1479.106 - Requirement to purchase crop insurance and non-insurable coverage.

(a) Except as provided further in this section, any producer who elected not to purchase crop insurance on an insurable 2003, 2004, or 2005 crop for which the producer receives crop loss assistance or, for non-insurable crops, elected not to participate in NAP for the year for which benefits are received must purchase:

(1) Crop insurance with additional coverage on that crop for each of the next 2 crop years, as applicable, for the insurable crops.

(2) NAP coverage by paying the administrative fee by the applicable State filing deadline and complete all required program requirements, including yearly acreage reports, for the non-insurable crop for each of the next 2 crop years, as applicable, for the non-insurable crops.

(b) If, at the time the producer applies for the CDP and benefits under §§ 1479.121 or 1479.122, the sales closing date for next year's insurable crops, or for the next year's non-insurable crops for which the producer sought benefits under this part has passed, the producer must purchase a crop insurance policy or obtain NAP coverage, as applicable, for the next available 2 crop years.

(c) If any producer fails to purchase crop insurance or NAP, as required in paragraph (a) or (b) of this section, the producer shall reimburse CCC for the full amount of the assistance, plus interest, provided to the producer under this part.
