(7) For crops resulting in a total uninsurable loss with no access to supporting production
evidence (farm management records such as field harvest records, weight of
production, bin or module measurements, etc.), AIPs may allow producers to elect to
apply the UUF/3 rd Party procedures in paragraph 1236 and Part 13 of the Crop
Insurance Handbook (FCIC-18010-1) for APH purposes.
(8) AIPs are authorized to provide additional time for policyholders impacted by
Hurricane Harvey to make payment of premium and administrative fees. Interest
accrual on premium payments and administrative fees, as noted above, will be
waived until the applicable termination date on policies with premium billing dates
between August 1, 2017, and October 1, 2017. AIPs will begin to accrue interest as
of the termination date for unpaid premium and administrative fees. All terms of
ineligibility, including pre-termination notice, shall be followed.
(9) RMA will defer collection of premium and waive all associated interest from AIPs
accordingly.
(10) RMA will monitor claims over $200,000 and if the level of claims in excess of
$200,000 rises above 5% of all claims within the state, RMA will provide relief on
the $200,000 review requirement found in Appendix IV of the SRA.
RMA, working with AIPs, will issue additional emergency procedures as deemed
necessary.
