Lugar Chairman The Honorable Tom Harkin Ranking Minority Member Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry United States Senate The Honorable Bob Smith Chairman The Honorable Charles W. Stenholm Ranking Minority Member Committee on Agriculture House of Representatives Subject: Department of Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation: Environmental Quality Incentives Pro gram Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC), entitled Environmental Quality Incentives Program (RIN: 0578- AA19). We received the rule on May 29, 1997. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on May 22, 1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 28258. Although this rule was promulgated by the Commodity Credit Corporation (the organization that funds the Environmental Quality Incentives Program), it was filed with us by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (the organization whose personnel administer the pro gram). The Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is a new conservation program, reflecting the functions of four previous programs--the Agricultural Conservation Program, the Great Plains Conservation Program, the Water Quality Incentives Program, and the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program. Those programs were repealed as of April 4, 1996. However, an interim program was instituted between April 4 and October 4, 1996, to maintain a basic program until EQIP could begin. 16 U.S.C. § 3839aa-8. GAO/OGC-97-50
