Release No. 1408.08

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2008 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency (FSA) today announced that it is postponing sign-up for the Dairy Disaster Assistance Program (DDAP-III) until the agency publishes final regulations in the Federal Register. Sign-up for DDAP-III was scheduled to resume Feb. 4, 2008.
Unlike other disaster programs, FSA was forced to delay DDAP-III sign-up because of Paperwork Reduction Act and other regulatory requirements mandating that there had to be the issuance of a proposed rule for public comments on the program. FSA is currently finalizing its review of the numerous comments received from the proposed rule and expects to publish final regulations for DDAP-III within the next few weeks.
