  CHAPTER XIV--COMMODITY CREDIT CORPORATION, DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
 
PART 1478--1999 CROP DISASTER PROGRAM--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1478.6  Limitations on payments and other benefits.

    (a) A producer may receive disaster benefits under this part on 1999 
crop year losses only.
    (b) Payments will not be made under this part for grazing losses. 
Further, the Deputy Administrator may divide and classify crops based on 
loss susceptibility, yield, and other factors.
    (c) No person shall receive more than a total of $80,000 in disaster 
benefits under this part.
    (d) No person shall receive disaster benefits under this part in an 
amount that exceeds the value of the expected production for the 
relevant period as determined by CCC.
    (e) A person who has a gross revenue in excess of $2.5 million for 
the 1998 tax year shall not be eligible to receive disaster benefits 
under this part. Gross revenue includes the total income and total gross 
receipts of the person, before any reductions. Gross revenue shall not 
be adjusted, amended, discounted, netted or modified for any reason. No 
deductions for costs, expenses or pass-through funds will be deducted 
from any calculation of gross revenue. For purposes of making this 
determination, gross revenue means the total gross receipts received 
from farming, ranching and forestry operations if the person receives 
more than 50 percent of such person's gross income from farming or 
ranching; or the total gross receipts received from all sources if the 
person receives 50 percent or less of such person's gross receipts from 
farming, ranching and forestry.
    (f) In the event the total amount of applications for disaster 
benefits under this part exceeds the available funds, payments shall be 
reduced by a uniform national percentage. Such reductions shall be 
applied before any determination of limits on compensation due to 
multiple USDA benefits and after the imposition of applicable payment 
limitation and gross revenues caps. Available funds will not include 
funds made available under other parts for honey loans, mohair loans, 
and payments to livestock producers.
