§ 760.2207 - Required documentation and verification.

(a) Participants must retain documentation in support of their application for 3 years after the date of approval. All information provided to FSA for program eligibility and payment calculation purposes, including certification of the qualifying disaster event that caused the loss, is subject to spot check. Participants receiving SDRP payments or any other person who furnishes such information to USDA must permit authorized representatives of USDA or the Government Accountability Office, during regular business hours, to enter the agricultural operation and to inspect, examine, and to allow representatives to make copies of books, records, or other items for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of the information provided by the participant.

(b) Producers who apply for Stage 1 for losses covered under WFRP must submit documentation to FSA to support their certification of the percentage of expected revenue from specialty and high value crops by the deadline announced by FSA. If a producer does not submit the required documentation, FSA will process the producer's application with 0 percent of their revenue attributed to specialty and high value crops, resulting in the producer's payment for loss being attributed to the payment limitation for other crops as provided in § 760.2215(a).
