PUBLIC LAW 99-198—DEC. 23, 1985 ,

producers on a farm have suffered substantial losses of production either from being prevented from planting wheat or other nonconserving crops or from reduced yields; f "(II) such losses have created an economic emergency for the producers; "(III) crop insurance indemnity payments under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.) and other forms of assistance made available by the Federal Government to such producers for such losses are insufficient to alleviate such economic emergency; and "(IV) additional assistance must be made available to such producers to alleviate such economic emergency, "(ii) The Secretary may make such adjustments in the amount of payments made available under this subparagraph with respect to an individual farm so as to assure the equitable allotment of such pa3mients among producers, taking into account other forms of Federal disaster assistance provided to the producers for the crop involved. "(d)(l)(A) For any crop of wheat for which marketing quotas are not in effect and an acreage limitation program under subsection (f) is not in effect, the Secretary shall proclaim a national program acreage. The proclamation shall be made not later than June 1 of each calendar year for the crop harvested in the next succeeding calendar year, except that in the case of the 1986 crop, the proclamation shall be made as soon as practicable after the date of enactment of the Food Security Act of 1985. "(B) The Secretary may revise the national program acreage first proclaimed for any crop year for the purpose of determining the allocation factor under paragraph (2) if the Secretary determines it necessary based on the latest information. The Secretary shall proclaim such revised national program acreage as soon as it is made. "(C) The national program acreage for wheat shall be the number of harvested acres the Secretary determines (on the basis of the weighted national average of the farm program payment yields for the crop for which the determination is made) will produce the quantity (less imports) that the Secretary estimates will be utilized domestically and for export during the marketing year for such crop. "(D) If the Secretary determines that carryover stocks of wheat are excessive or an increase in stocks is needed to assure desirable carryover, the Secretary may adjust the national program acreage ^y *^® quantity the Secretary determines will accomplish the desired increase or decrease in carryover stocks. "(2) The Secretary shall determine a program allocation factor for each crop of wheat for which marketing quotas are not in effect. The allocation factor for wheat shall be determined by dividing the national program acreage for the crop by the number of acres that the Secretary estimates will be harvested for such crop, except that in no event shall the allocation factor for any crop of wheat be more than 100 percent nor less than 80 percent. "(3)(A)(i) Except as provided in subsection (fK2), the individual farm program acreage for each crop of wheat for which marketing quotas are not in effect shall be determined by multiplying the allocation factor by the acreage of wheat planted for harvest on the farms for which individual farm program acreages are required to be determined.
