PUBLIC LAW 99-198—DEC. 23, 1985

99 STAT. 1449

"(C) The aggregate quantity of wheat or feed grains specified in all export certificates distributable to eligible producers of the crop involved shall be equal to— "(i) the aggregate amount of wheat or feed grains proif f duced by producers participating in the program for the crop under section 107D or 105C, as determined by multiplying the acreage planted by each such producer for harvest times the farm program payment)deld for the commodity, times "(ii) an export production factor. For purposes of this subparagraph, the export production factor for a crop shall be determined by the Secretary by dividing the quantity of such crop harvested domestically that the Secretary estimates will not be used domestically and will be available for export (excluding the portion of the crop expected to be added to carryover stocks) during the marketing year for such crop by the quantity of such crop that the Secretary estimates will be harvested domestically. "(D) Wheat or feed grain export certificates shall be distributed among eligible producers in a manner that will ensure that each eligible producer receives certificates having an aggregate face value that represents an equal rate of return per unit of wheat or feed grains produced by such producer for such crop. For purposes of determining such rate of return, the Secretary shall take into consideration regional variations in the costs incurred by producers to market the commodity (including transportation costs). "(E) An export certificate issued under this subsection shall be redeemed by the Secretary for a cash amount equal to the monetary denomination on such certificate (or, at the option of the Secretary, a quantity of the commodity involved having a current fair market value equal to such amount) only on presentation by a holder who exports a quantity of the crop involved (including processed wheat or feed grains) equal to the quantity designated in the certificate and only if the Secretary has not redeemed previously an export certificate issued under this subsection presented in connection with the particular wheat or feed grains so exported. "(2) The Secretary shall carry out this subsection through the Commodity Credit Corporation. If sufficient funds are available to the Corporation, there shall be expended to carry out this subsection with respect to the export of the crop of wheat or feed grains involved an amount not less than the product of multiplying— "(A) 21 cents for wheat, 11 cents for corn, and such amounts for grain sorghums, oats, and, if designated by the Secretary, barley as the Secretary determines fair and reasonable in relation to the amount specified for corn, times "(B) the aggregate of the wheat or feed grain acreage planted to the commodity for harvest by producers participating in the program for the crop with respect to which deficiency pa3niients are available under section 107D or 105C, times "(C) the average of the program yields for the crop. "(3) Funds expended to carry out export certificate programs established under this subsection shall be in addition to, and not in place of, funds authorized by any other law to be expended to finance or encourage the export of wheat or feed gredns.
