# §760.2222. Stage 2 payment calculation for trees, bushes, and vines.

- (a) Payments for tree, bush, and vine losses will be calculated separately based on the growth stage of the trees, bushes, or vines, as determined by FSA.
- (b) **For the purpose of calculating payments under this section—**
  - (1) The price is determined by FSA based on the species of tree, bush, or vine and its growth stage;
  - (2) The expected value of the tree, bush, or vine is determined by multiplying the total number of trees, bushes, or vines that were damaged or destroyed by a qualifying disaster event by the price;
  - (3) **The actual value is determined by—**
    - (i) Multiplying the number of trees, bushes, or vines damaged by a qualifying disaster event by the damage factor;
    - (ii) Adding the result of [paragraph (b)(3)(i)](#b-3-i) of this section and the number of trees, bushes, or vines destroyed by a qualifying disaster event;
    - (iii) Multiplying the result of [paragraph (b)(3)(ii)](#b-3-ii) of this section by the price; and
    - (iv) Subtracting the result of [paragraph (b)(3)(iii)](#b-3-iii) of this section from the expected value specified in [paragraph (b)(2)](#b-2) of this section;
  - (4) The SDRP liability is determined by multiplying the expected value of the tree, bush, or vine by the SDRP factor.
- (c) **To calculate the Stage 2 payment, FSA will—**
  - (1) Subtract the actual value of the tree, bush, or vine from the SDRP liability;
  - (2) Subtract the salvage value from the result of [paragraph (c)(1)](#c-1) of this section;
  - (3) Multiply the result of [paragraph (c)(2)](#c-2) of this section by the producer's share;
  - (4) Add premiums and fees for insured trees or vines if the calculated loss is greater than zero; and
  - (5) Multiply the result of [paragraph (c)(4)](#c-4) of this section by 35 percent to remain within available funding.
- (d) FSA will adjust the number of damaged and destroyed trees, bushes, and vines used to calculate a Stage 2 payment if it determines that the number of damaged or destroyed trees, bushes, or vines certified by the participant is inaccurate.
- (e) If an applicant designates shares for SBIs on FSA-504, the payment amounts for the primary policy holder and SBIs will be multiplied by the applicable share.
