§3159 — Title 7 Agriculture | U.S. Code

Summary

No new entity may be added to receive money from certain agricultural programs after December 20, 2018. One exception allows certifying a "1994 Institution" under section 2 of the McIntire‑Stennis Cooperative Forestry Act. The Secretary can also allow a later designation if there are extraordinary circumstances or to prevent an unfair result. A State will not get more funding just because it adds eligible entities. "Covered programs" means agricultural research, extension, education, and related grants under section 343(b)–(d); the Hatch Act of 1887; sections 3221, 3222, and 3222b; and the McIntire‑Stennis Act. This rule does not limit eligibility for a capacity and infrastructure program listed in section 6971(f)(1)(C) that is not a covered program.
