Abstract: The Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act, (Division B, Title I, Pub. L. 117-43) provided $10,000,000,000 for necessary expenses related to losses of crops (including milk, on-farm stored commodities, crops prevented from planting in 2020 and 2021, and harvested adulterated wine grapes), trees, bushes, and vines, as a consequence of droughts, wildfires, hurricanes, floods, derechos, excessive heat, winter storms, freeze, including a polar vortex, smoke exposure, quality losses of crops, and excessive moisture occurring in calendar years 2020 and 2021. USDA has directed FSA to use part of this funding to provide assistance to producers of eligible crop, tree, bush, and vine losses through ERP.

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 Relief Program (ERP) Phase 2. ERP Phase 2 will use funds authorized by the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act, (Division B, Title I, Pub. L. 117-43) to assist producers who suffered crop losses due to wildfires, hurricanes, floods, derechos, excessive heat, winter storms, freeze (including a polar vortex), smoke exposure, excessive moisture, qualifying drought, and related conditions occurring in calendar years 2020 and 2021.
