Lucas Ranking Member Committee on Agriculture House of Representatives Subject: Department ofAgriculture, Commodity Credit Coiporation: Conservation Reserve 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 Conservation Reserve Program (RIN: 0560-AH80). We received the rule on July 23, 2010. It was published in the Federal Register as an interim rule on July 28, 2010, with an effective date of July 28, 2010. 75 Fed. Reg. 44,067. The interim rule amends the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) regulations to implement provisions of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill). The 2008 Farm Bill generally extends the existing CRP through 2012 with some changes in eligibility requirements. The purpose of CRP is to cost-effectively assist producers in conserving and improving soil, water, wildlife, and other natural resources by converting environmentally-sensitive acreage from the production of agricultural commodities to a long-term vegetative cover and to address issues raised by state, regional, and national conservation initiatives. Section 2904 of the 2008 Farm Bill authorized CCC to issue the interim rule effective on publication with an opportunity for comment. GAO-10-99IR
