§760.2203. Eligible producers.
7 C.F.R. § 760.2203
To be eligible for payment under this subpart, a producer must be a:
Citizen of the United States;
Resident alien, which for purposes of SDRP means “lawful alien” as defined in 7 CFR part 1400;
Partnership organized under State law consisting solely of citizens of the United States or resident aliens;
Corporation, limited liability company, or other organizational structure organized under State law consisting solely of citizens of the United States or resident aliens; or
Indian Tribe or Tribal organization, as defined in section 4(b) of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act (25 U.S.C. 5304).
Members of legal entities, including those who are listed as an SBI on FSA-526, who do not individually share in the risk of producing the crop and ownership of the crop are not considered producers and are not eligible to apply for SDRP; in those instances, the entity is considered the applicant.
To be eligible for SDRP, a producer must be in compliance with the provisions of 7 CFR part 12 and the provisions of 7 CFR 718.6, which address ineligibility for benefits for offenses involving controlled substances.
FSA's creation and mailing or other transmission of a pre-filled application does not indicate that the person or legal entity listed on the application is eligible for an SDRP Stage 1 or Stage 2 payment.
