Agreements for the Development of Foreign Markets for Agricultural Commodities

This rule proposes to amend the regulations applicable to the Market Access Program (MAP) authorized by section 203 of the Agricultural Trade Act of 1978. This proposed rule would incorporate into the MAP allocation process the level of export contributions made by U.S. industry participants; authorize reimbursement of certain travel expenses for brand participants and certain necessary packaging and labeling design expenses; extend the activity payment deadline following the end of an activity plan year; establish a 5-year limit, per country, on CCC assistance for brand promotion by single companies; and permit reimbursement to participants based upon issuance of a credit memo as an alternative to a transfer of funds.
