(1) All quantity commitments are for the period 1 July 2013 through 30 June 2014 while budgetary outlay commitments are impleme nted on a fiscal year basis beginning 
1 October 2013. (2) WTO dispute settlement proceedings result ed in a determination that the Commodity Credit Corporation export credit guarante e programme (GSM-102) conferred an export 
subsidy with respect to specific agricultural goods during fisc al year 2006 of the United States Government. Summaries of expor t credit guarantee activity under the GSM-102 for 
fiscal year 2012 can be found at: http://www.fas.usda.gov/excredits/Monthly/ecg.html . Dollar amounts for guarantees registered do not constitute budgetary outlays for purposes 
of annual commitment levels. 
(3) Data is for food aid to all destinations on a fiscal year basis beginning 1 October 2013. (4) The panel and Appellate Body reports in the dispute United States – Subsidies on Upland Cotton  (DS267) found that certain payments to exporters under the Upland Cotton 
Domestic Marketing Certificate Program consti tuted export subsidies within the meaning of the Agreement on Agriculture. On 8 Fe bruary 2006, the United States enacted 
legislation to repeal the programme at the end of the 2005 marketing year (i.e., 31 July 2006). All cotton under the programme was shipped by 31 July 2006; quantity and 
budgetary data are based on when payments were made.
