Export Bonus Programs
This document requests comments on three options to reform the USDA/Commodity Credit Corporation's Export Bonus Programs: The Export Enhancement Program (EEP), the Dairy Export Incentive Program (DEIP), the Sunflower Oil Assistance Program (SOAP), and the Cottonseed Oil Assistance Program (COAP). Options for reform of these export bonus programs are being considered as an effort to respond to the General Agreement on Tariff and Trade (GATT) Uruguay Round Agreement that established new mandates for USDA/CCC's export subsidy programs. Additionally, the reform options considered could make these programs more flexible in responding to changing world market conditions and serve to fulfill policy goals for increased administrative efficiency and lower program costs.
