Supplementary Information

On August 9, 2004, FCIC published in the Federal Register (69 FR 48166) a proposed rule to amend the Nursery Crop Insurance Provisions and Nursery Peak Inventory Endorsement to improve coverage of nursery plants. FCIC also proposed to add a Rehabilitation Endorsement for Field grown plants that will recover from an insured cause of loss. FCIC provided a 60-day comment period that is scheduled to end October 8, 2004. Due to the hurricanes and subsequent inclement weather in the southeast and eastern United States, FCIC is extending the comment period an additional 45 days to ensure the public has an adequate opportunity to review and comment on the proposed rule. The comment period for the proposed rule is extended to November 22, 2004. Signed in Washington, DC, on October 5, 2004. Ross J. Davidson, Jr., Manager, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
