- (a)Stage 2 payments for eligible crops and units that were insured under APH or yield-based plans but not indemnified for a loss will be calculated according to this section.
- (b)For the purpose of calculating payments under this section:
- (1)The quality loss percentage is the percentage determined according to § 760.2209(b) and (c), subject to any adjustment by FSA based on the documentation submitted by the producer;
- (2)The production is the share-adjusted producer-certified production entered on the FSA-504, subject to any adjustment by FSA based on the documentation submitted by the producer, unless share-adjusted production is pre-filled on FSA-504 and the producer does not enter producer-certified production;
- (3)The price is the price used by RMA to calculate the liability; and
- (4)The SDRP liability is the share-adjusted amount provided by RMA based on data already on file for Federal crop insurance purposes, which is equal to the expected crop value multiplied by the SDRP factor.
- (c)To calculate the Stage 2 payment, FSA will:
- (1)Determine the calculated loss by:
- (i)Converting the quality loss percentage to a decimal and subtracting that amount from 1;
- (ii)Multiplying the production by the result of paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section, and then by the price; and
- (iii)Subtracting the result of paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section from the SDRP liability specified in paragraph (b)(4) of this section;
- (2)Determine the potential insured indemnity by:
- (i)Dividing the SDRP liability by the SDRP factor, and multiplying the result by the producer's coverage level under the APH or yield-based plan;
- (ii)Multiplying the production by the price, multiplied by the producer's price election under the APH or yield-based plan; and
- (iii)Subtracting the result of paragraph (c)(2)(ii) of this section from the insured liability, which is specified in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this section;
- (3)If the amount of the calculated loss minus the potential insured indemnity is greater than zero, calculate the Stage 2 payment by:
- (4)If the amount of the calculated loss minus the potential insured indemnity is equal to or less than zero, determine that the Stage 2 payment amount is zero.
- (1)Determine the calculated loss by:
- (d)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.
