Disaster Designation Process (US Farm Service Agency Regulation) (FSA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library

Disaster Designation Process (US Farm Service Agency Regulation) (FSA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Disaster Designation Process (US Farm Service Agency Regulation) (FSA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is revising its disaster designation regulations, with minor changes from the proposed rule. The rule simplifies procedures for Secretarial designations of disaster areas. This rule includes provisions for nearly automatic disaster designation in the case of severe drought. The rule also provides procedures FSA may use to delegate disaster designation authority to FSA State level officials. The rule removes the requirement that a State Governor or Indian Tribal Council must request a Secretarial disaster designation before a designation can be made. Also, this rule moves the disaster designation regulations to the same chapter of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) as the FSA Emergency Loan (EM) Program regulations. FSA expects that the simplified process will result in faster designations of disaster areas, and result in more timely disaster assistance.
