[Doc. No. AMS-SC-19-0042; SC19-990-2 FR]
Establishment of a Domestic Hemp Production Program
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This final rule supersedes the interim final rule that
established the Domestic Hemp Production Program, as mandated by the
Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill). This rule
includes regulations used by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to
approve plans submitted by States and Indian Tribes for the domestic
production of hemp. This rule also includes regulations on the Federal
hemp production plan for producers in States or territories of Indian
Tribes that do not have their own USDA-approved plans. The program
provides requirements for maintaining records about the land where hemp
is produced, testing the levels of total delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol,
disposing of non-compliant plants, licensing hemp producers, and
ensuring compliance under the new program.
DATES: This rule is effective March 22, 2021.
