Statutory changes for the 2001 and subsequent crop years allow NAP assistance to now be based only on individual producer crop losses, rather than on geographic area crop losses for multiple pro ducers. "These changes will make the program more accessible to indi vidual farmers needing financial assistance for noninsurable crops destroyed by natural disasters," said Lasseter. Producers who already have a crop loss may sign-up for NAP up until 30 days after the program regulations are printed in the Fed eral Register. The date will be publicized once the regulations are printed. Producers with new losses that occur after the dead line may sign up whenever the loss occurs. A service fee of $100 per crop, not to exceed $900 per producer, is due at the time of application. Limited resource producers may request a fee waiver. Also, pro ducers must annually report crop acreage, yield, production, and (if applicable) a timely notice of loss. NAP provides financial assis tance to producers for noninsurable crop losses and planting impeded by natural di sasters. Eligible crops include those produced for food (includ ing livestock feed) or fiber for which catastrophic crop insur ance is not available. Also eligible for NAP coverage are controlled-environment crops (mushroom and floriculture), spe cialty crops (honey and maple sap), and value loss crops (aquac ulture, Christmas trees, ginseng, ornamental nursery, and turfgrass sod). Other program restrictions may apply. Implementing regulations will be published as necessary.
