Common Crop Insurance Regulations;

Regulations for the 1995 and

Subsequent Contract Years

AGENCY: Federal Crop Insurance

Corporation.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This rule incorporates into

crop insurance policy language the

common law principle that Federal

Government programs and contracts are

subject to appropriations. This rule

makes final the interim rule published

in the Federal Register on September 6,

1994.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 3, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

action has been reviewed under United

States Department of Agricultural

(‘‘USDA’’) procedures established by

Executive Order 12866 and

Departmental Regulation 1512–1. This

action does not constitute a review as to

the need, currency, clarity, and

effectiveness of these regulations under

those procedures. The sunset review

date established for these regulations

remains January 1, 1996.

This rule has been determined to be

‘‘not-significant’’ for the purposes of

Executive Order 12866, and therefore,

has not been reviewed by the Office of

Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’).

In accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501

et seq.), no information or recordkeeping requirements are found in this

rule.

It has been determined under section

6(a) of Executive Order 12612,

Federalism, that this rule does not have

sufficient federalism implication to

warrant the preparation of a Federalism

Assessment. The policies and

procedures contained in this rule will

not have a substantial direct effect on

states or their subdivisions, or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government.

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(5 U.S.C. 605), this regulation will not

have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

The rule would not increase the amount

of work required by reinsured

companies and their agents, and

provides a mechanism for the

uninterrupted coverage to the

policyholders. Therefore, this action is

determined to be exempt from the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act and no Regulatory Flexibility

Analysis was prepared.

This program is listed in the Catalog

of Federal Domestic Assistance under

No. 10.450.

This program is not subject to the

provisions of Executive Order 12372

which require intergovernmental

consultation with State and local

officials. See the Notice related to 7 CFR

part 3015, subpart V, published at 48 FR

29115, June 24, 1983.

The Office of the General Counsel has

determined that these regulations meet

the applicable standards provided in

subsections 2(a) and 2(b)(2) of Executive

Order 12778.

The provisions of this rule will

preempt state and local laws to the

extent such state and local laws are

inconsistent herewith. The

administrative appeal provisions

located at 7 CFR part 400, subpart J or

promulgated by the National Appeals

Division must be exhausted before

judicial action may be brought.

This action is not expected to have

any significant impact on the quality of

the human environment, health, and

safety. Therefore, neither an

Environmental Assessment nor an

Environmental Impact Statement is

needed.

On Tuesday, September 6, 1994, FCIC

published an interim rule in the Federal

Register at 59 FR 45971, to revise the

Common Crop Insurance Regulations by

adding § 457.9—Appropriation

Contingency. Following publication of

that rule, the public was afforded 60

days to submit written comments, data,

and opinions. One comment was

received from a private law firm. FCIC’s

response is as follows:

Comment: The comment

recommended extending the

appropriation contingency clause from

the ‘‘1995 crop year only’’ to ‘‘future

years’’.

Response: Since the Federal crop

insurance program is subject to the

availability of appropriated funds by

Congress on a fiscal year basis, FCIC

agrees with the comment and has made

this change.
