Abstract: The new Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP) is providing payments to the producers who are qualified to meet the eligibility requirements and payment calculation for the first phase of ELRP assistance, which will provide payments to producers who faced increased supplemental feed costs as a result of forage losses due to a qualifying drought or fire in calendar year 2021 using data already submitted to FSA through the Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP).

Emergency Justfication: The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is requesting OMB approval on the emergency approval of a collection of information necessary to implement the Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP) phase 1 which will assist eligible livestock producers who faced increased supplemental feed costs as a result of forage losses due to a qualifying drought or wildfire in calendar year 2021. FSA could not obtain OMB approval under the normal clearance and likely to prevent or disrupt the collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act to begin the ELRP Phase 1 quickly. FSA is using ELRP Phase 1 funds provided by the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act, (Division B, Title I, Pub. L. 117-43) to assist producers of livestock for losses incurred during calendar year 2021 due to qualifying droughts or wildfires. The livestock producers who suffered losses due to drought are eligible for assistance if any area within the county in which the loss occurred was rated by the U.S. Drought Monitor as having a D2 (severe drought) for eight consecutive weeks or a D3 (extreme drought) or higher level of drought intensity during the applicable year.
