Background 

Cool spring temperatures in the Pacific Northwest have resulted in the late development and maturity of apples. Apple maturity and harvest remain behind schedule by up to two weeks due to the cool temperatures and late development in the spring. The Risk Management Agency (RMA) has been advised by the Washington Tree Fruit Association that many insureds, despite their best efforts, will not be able to finish harvest before the calendar date for the end of the insurance period (EOIP) of November 5 (Fuji variety November 10) as a result of these insurable causes.

Background 

Hurricane Irma has caused catastrophic damage in many counties in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The Risk Management Agency (RMA), in conjunction with Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs), recognizes the need for authorizing emergency procedures that will streamline determinations on specific crops to accelerate the adjustment of losses and issuance of indemnity payments to crop insurance policyholders in impacted areas.

Background

In January 2016, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) began an extensive review of the written agreement and determined yield processes, specifically looking for opportunities to reduce resource requirements, improve the value of the process for the producer, improve program delivery and efficiency, and maintain program integrity. One major area of improvement identified in the review was the need to reduce defective and incomplete exception requests, which resulted in redundant work, delays in decisions, and increased wait times and workload.
