          Subject: Department of Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation: 2000 Crop
                  Agricultural Disaster and Market Assistance

          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 2000 Crop Agricultural Disaster and Market Assistance
          (RIN: 0560-AG18). We received the rule on October 30, 2000. It was published in the
          Federal Register as a final rule on November 2, 2000. 65 Fed. Reg. 65709.

          The final rule implements provisions of the Agricultural Risk Protection Act of 2000
          (ARPA) related to oilseeds payments, peanut marketing assistance, honey recourse
          loans, crop and pasture flood compensation, and the expansion of eligibility for loan
          deficiency payments, for the 2000 crop year only, to include producers whose
          cropland is not covered by a production flexibility contract.

          Enclosed is our assessment of the CCC's compliance with the procedural steps
          required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule.
          Our review indicates that the CCC complied with the applicable requirements.
