SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background The FCIC serves Americas agricultural producers through effective, market-based risk management tools to strengthen the economic stability of agricultural producers and rural communities. FCIC is committed to increasing the availability and effectiveness of Federal crop insurance as a risk management tool. Approved Insurance Providers AIP sell and service Federal crop insurance policies in every state through a public-private partnership. FCIC reinsures the AIPs who share the risks associated with catastrophic losses due to major weather events. FCICs vision is to secure the future of agriculture by providing world class risk management tools to rural America.
FCIC amends the Common Crop Insurance Regulations by revising 7 CFR
457.140, Dry Pea Crop Insurance Provisions, and by revising 7 CFR
457.150, Dry Bean Crop Insurance Provisions, to be effective for the 2022
and succeeding crop years.
For both 7 CFR 457.140, Dry Pea Crop Insurance Provisions, and 7 CFR
457.150, Dry Bean Crop Insurance Provisions, FCIC is allowing separate enterprise units by type.
Crop insurance units are an identifiable, insurable segment of land on which an insurable crop is grown, and separate production records have been kept. Enterprise units are all insurable acreage of an insured crop in the county in which the insured has a share on the date coverage begins for the crop year. Allowing separate enterprise units allows producers to be indemnified separately by type. The

benefit for producers is that a gain on one type will not be offset by the loss on another type. Currently, optional units by type are available for all types listed in the actuarial documents.
If an insured elects enterprise units for these types, further division of enterprise units is not allowed. The insured may elect one enterprise unit for all types, or a combination of types for example, under the Dry Peas Crop Provisions, the insured may elect an enterprise unit for spring and smooth green types and a separate enterprise unit for the Austrian type, or separate enterprise units for each. Additionally, the acreage must each separately qualify for enterprise units and will be subject to the current requirements in the Basic Provisions.
If an insured elects enterprise units for multiple types and does not qualify for separate enterprise units, there are options based on the timing of the discovery:
If the insured elects separate enterprise units for multiple types and the AIP discovers the enterprise unit qualifications are not separately met for all types:
1 On or before the acreage reporting date, the insured may elect:
a All types in which the insured elected an enterprise unit for meeting the requirements in section 34a4 as separate enterprise units, and basic or optional units for any acreage that is not reported and insured as an enterprise unit, whichever the insured reports on the acreage report and for which the insured qualifies;
b One enterprise unit for all acreage of the crop in the county provided the insured meets the requirements in section 34a4; or c Basic or optional units for all acreage of the crop in the county, whichever the insured reports on the acreage report and for which the insured qualifies.
2 After acreage reporting date, the insured may have one enterprise unit comprised of all acreage in the county of the crop provided the insured meets requirements in section 34a4, or the AIP will assign a basic unit structure for all acreage of the crop in the county.
If an insured elects an enterprise unit for only one type and the AIP
discovers the enterprise unit qualifications are not met for that type:
1 On or before the acreage reporting date, the insureds unit division for all
