Farm Service Agency 

[Docket ID FSA–2023–0011] 

Notice; Emergency Livestock Relief 

Program (ELRP) 2022 

AGENCY: Farm Service Agency, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Farm Service Agency 

(FSA) is issuing this notice to announce 

that it is issuing a second round of 

payments for ELRP 2022 participants. 

These payments will be subject to a 

modified payment calculation in 

compliance with a court order currently 

in effect. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kathy Sayers; telephone: (202) 720– 

6870; email: Kathy.Sayers@usda.gov. 

Individuals who require alternative 

means of communication for program 

information should contact the USDA 

Target Center at (202) 720–2600 (voice) 

or dial 711 for Telecommunications 

Relay Service (both voice and text 

telephone users can initiate this call 

from any telephone). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

FSA announced ELRP 2022 in a 

notice published in the Federal Register 

on September 27, 2023 (88 FR 66361– 

66366). Eligible livestock producers 

were not required to submit an 

application for ELRP 2022. As specified 

in the September 2023 notice, FSA is 

using data already submitted to FSA 

through the Livestock Forage Disaster 

Program (LFP). 

Initial ELRP 2022 payments were 

issued immediately after publication of 

the notice based on a producer’s gross 

2022 LFP calculated payment.1

The ELRP 2022 Notice of Funding 

Availability provided that the initial 

ELRP 2022 payment was equal to the 

eligible livestock producer’s gross 2022 

LFP calculated payment multiplied by 

an ELRP 2022 payment percentage of 90 

percent for underserved farmers and 

ranchers and 75 percent for all other 

producers, multiplied by a 25-percent 

factor to stay within available funding. 

It also specified that a second payment 

of up to 75 percent may be issued if 

funds remain available after initial 

payments are completed. Funding 

remains available. 

This notice announces that FSA will 

issue a second ELRP 2022 payment for 

an additional 7.25-percent factor with 

available funding. 

On June 7, 2024, the United States 

District Court for the Northern District 

of Texas, Amarillo Division, issued a 

preliminary injunction in Rusty 

Strickland et al. v. U.S. Dept. of 

Agriculture et al. (Case No. 2:24–CV– 

60–Z) enjoining USDA ‘‘from making or 

increasing payments, or providing any 

additional relief, based on its ‘socially 

disadvantaged farmer or rancher’ 

designation under [the Emergency Relief 

Program (ERP) 2022], whether used 

directly or as a subset of its 

‘underserved farmer or rancher’ 

designation.’’ 2 The complaint 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 210 / Wednesday, October 30, 2024 / Notices 86311 

of the ownership interest must be held by 

individuals who are members of such a group. 

Socially disadvantaged groups include the 

following and no others unless approved in writing 

by the Deputy Administrator: 

(1) American Indians or Alaskan Natives; 

(2) Asians or Asian-Americans; 

(3) Blacks or African Americans; 

(4) Hispanics or Hispanic Americans; 

(5) Native Hawaiians or other Pacific Islanders; 

and 

(6) Women. 

‘‘Underserved farmer or rancher’’ means a 

beginning farmer or rancher, limited resource 

farmer or rancher, socially disadvantaged farmer or 

rancher, or veteran farmer or rancher. 

3FSA issued a notice to announce the actions it 

was taking to comply with the preliminary 

injunction related to payment calculations for ERP 

2022 on August 23, 2024. (89 FR 68125) 

4 Defendants’ Notice of Compliance with the 

Court’s Preliminary Injunction Order, at 2, ECF No. 

27. 

challenges FSA’s use of the socially 

disadvantaged farmer or rancher 

designation in several programs, 

including ELRP 2022; however, the 

preliminary injunction was applicable 

by its terms only to ERP 2022 3, which 

was the only program for which the 

application period was open. 

As USDA informed the court in 

Strickland,4 FSA will issue the second 

ELRP 2022 payments in a manner 

‘‘consistent with the terms of the 

preliminary injunction, including not 

making or increasing any such 

payments based on the use of the 

socially disadvantaged designation.’’ 

Provided there are no other 

complicating factors (such as payment 

limitations), if they have the same gross 

2022 LFP calculated payment, a 

producer who is considered 

underserved based solely on a socially 

disadvantaged designation and a nonunderserved producer will receive the 

same payment in dollars in any second 

round of ELRP 2022 payments while the 

preliminary injunction is in effect. 

FSA intends to begin issuing these 

payments following publication of this 

document. If the preliminary injunction 

is lifted, with available funds, FSA will 

make or update payments to affected 

and eligible socially disadvantaged 

producers consistent with the terms of 

the Notice of Funding Availability.
