(a) ELRP 2023 and 2024 FW is administered under the general supervision and direction of the Administrator, Farm Service Agency (FSA), and the Deputy Administrator for Farm Programs (Deputy Administrator).

(b) FSA representatives do not have authority to modify or waive any of the provisions of the regulations of this subpart as amended or supplemented.

(c) The State committee will take any action required by the regulations of this subpart that the county committee has not taken. The State committee will also:

(1) Correct, or require a county committee to correct, any action taken by such county committee that is not in accordance with the regulations of this subpart, or

(2) Require a county committee to withhold taking any action that is not in accordance with this subpart.

(d) No provision or delegation to a State or county committee will preclude the FSA Administrator, the Deputy Administrator, or a designee or other such person, from determining any question arising under the programs of this subpart, or from reversing or modifying any determination made by a State or county committee.

(e) Payments issued under this subpart are subject to the availability of funds authorized under Federal law. Within the funding limitation that may exist under law, the only funds that will be considered available to pay eligible losses will be those amounts approved by the Secretary. If, within the limits of the funding made available by the Secretary, approval of eligible applications would result in expenditures in excess of the amount available, FSA will prorate the available funds by a national payment factor to reduce the total expected payments to the amount made available by the Secretary. FSA will make payments based on the payment factor determined by FSA.
