          Subject: Department of Agriculture, Commodity Credit Corporation: Noninsured
                  Crop Disaster Assistance Program

          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 Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (RIN:
          0560-AG20). We received the rule on April 26, 2002. It was published in the Federal
          Register as an interim rule on March 19, 2002. 67 Fed. Reg. 12446.

          The interim rule amends the CCC's regulations regarding the Noninsured Crop
          Disaster Assistance Program. The rule removes area requirements, announces new
          requirements concerning the filing of applications, payment of service fees, and
          reporting of crop acreage, yield, and production.

          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.

          If you have any questions about this report, please contact James W. Vickers,
          Assistant General Counsel, at (202) 512-8210. The official responsible for GAO
          evaluation work relating to the subject matter of the rule is Robert Robinson,
