The Farm Service Agency
(FSA) proposes to amend the disaster
designation regulations with simplified
procedures for designating USDA
Secretarial disaster areas. Proposed
changes to the regulation would
delegate the designation authority to
FSA State officials, remove the
requirement that a request for
designation of a disaster area be
initiated and submitted by a State
Governor or Indian Tribal Council to the
Secretary, add a simplified disaster
designation in severe drought situations,
and change the USDA Secretarial
disaster designation process from six
steps to two steps for natural disasters,
including special provisions for certain
drought situations. FSA proposes to
move the regulations to the same
chapter of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) as the FSA
Emergency Loan (EM) Program
regulations. FSA expects the amended
procedures would result in faster
designations of disaster areas, and result
in more timely disaster assistance.
