2. Section 457.8 is amended by revising section 17(e)(1)(i)(A) to read 
as follows:


Sec.  457.8  The application and policy.

* * * * *
17. Prevented Planting
* * * * *
    (e) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (i) * * *
    (A) The maximum number of acres certified for APH purposes, or 
insured acres reported, for the crop in any one of the 4 most recent 
crop years (not including reported prevented planting acreage that was 
planted to a second crop unless you meet the double cropping 
requirements in section 17(f)(4)). The number of acres determined above 
for a crop may be increased by multiplying it by the ratio of the total 
cropland acres that you are farming this year (if greater) to the total 
cropland acres that you farmed in the previous year, provided that you 
submit proof to us that for the current crop year you have purchased or 
leased additional land or that acreage will be released from any USDA 
program which prohibits harvest of a crop. Such acreage must have been 
purchased, leased, or released from the USDA program, in time to plant 
it for the current crop year using good farming practices. No cause of 
loss that would prevent planting may be evident at the time you lease 
the acreage (except acreage you leased the previous year and continue 
to lease in the current crop year); you buy the acreage; the acreage is 
released from a USDA program which prohibits harvest of a crop; you 
request a written agreement to insure the acreage; or you otherwise 
acquire the acreage (such as inherited or gifted acreage).
