TITLE 7--AGRICULTURE
CHAPTER 35A--PRICE SUPPORT OF AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES
SUBCHAPTER V--EMERGENCY LIVESTOCK FEED ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1988
Sec. 1471e. Additional assistance
(a) Determination by Secretary
In addition to the assistance provided under section 1471d of this
title, if the Secretary determines that the livestock emergency also
requires the implementation of one or more of the assistance programs
described in subsection (b) of this section, the Secretary shall
implement such programs.
(b) Programs authorized
Special assistance under this section includes--
(1) the donation of feed owned by the Commodity Credit
Corporation for use in feeding livestock stranded and unidentified
as to its owner, including the cost of transporting feed to the
affected area, during such period as the Secretary, by regulation,
may prescribe;
(2) reimbursement of not to exceed 50 percent of the cost of--
(A) installing pipelines (if that is the least expensive
method) or other facilities, including tanks or troughs, for
livestock water;
(B) construction or deepening of wells or ponds for
livestock water; or
(C) developing springs or seeps for livestock water,
as appropriate in drought areas to facilitate more efficient and
better-distributed grazing on land normally used for grazing. Such
cost-share assistance may not be made available to provide water for
wildlife or recreational livestock, dry lot feeding, or barns or
corrals, or to acquire pumping equipment;
(3) reimbursement of not to exceed 50 percent of the cost of
burning prickly pear cactus to make it suitable for animal feed; and
(4) making commodities owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation
available to livestock producers through the use of a catalog that
specifies lots of a size that are economically feasible for a small
producer to obtain by means of certificate exchanges.
(c) Water development projects for 1988 and 1989 emergencies
The Secretary may make available at least $25,000,000 to provide
special assistance under subsection (b)(2) of this section for livestock
emergencies in 1988 and 1989.
