                 Subpart C--Livestock Indemnity Program
 
Sec. 1439.206  Indemnity benefits.

    (a) Livestock indemnity payments for losses of eligible livestock as 
determined by CCC are authorized to be made to livestock producers who 
file an application for the specific livestock category in accordance 
with instructions issued by the Deputy Administrator, if the:
    (1) Livestock producer submits an approved proof of loss in 
accordance with Sec. 1439.205; and
    (2) County or State committee determines that because of an eligible 
disaster condition the livestock producer had a loss in the specific 
livestock category in excess of the normal mortality rate established by 
CCC, based on the number of animals in the livestock category that were 
in the producer's inventory at the time of the disaster.
    (b) If the number of losses in the animal category exceeds the 
normal mortality rate established by CCC for such category, the loss of 
livestock that shall be used in making a payment shall be the number of 
animal losses in the animal category that exceed the normal mortality 
threshold established by CCC.
    (c) Payments shall be calculated by multiplying the national payment 
rate for the livestock category as determined by CCC, by the number of 
qualifying animals determined under (b) of this section. Adjustments, if 
necessary, shall apply in accordance with Sec. 1439.207.
    (d) Payments that are earned by a person under the livestock 
indemnity program may be assigned in accordance with the provisions of 
part 1404 of this chapter.
