                          TITLE 7--AGRICULTURE
 
         CHAPTER 35A--PRICE SUPPORT OF AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES
 
                    SUBCHAPTER I--GENERAL PROVISIONS
 
Sec. 1435. Production of commodities for conversion into alcohol 
        or hydrocarbons for use as motor fuels or other fuels; terms and 
        conditions; determinations; payments, etc., for program
        
    (a) The Secretary of Agriculture shall permit, subject to such terms 
and conditions as the Secretary shall prescribe, all or any part of the 
acreage set aside or diverted under the Agricultural Act of 1949 [7 
U.S.C. 1421 et seq.] from the production of a commodity for any crop 
year to be devoted to the production of any commodity for conversion 
into alcohol or hydrocarbons for use as motor fuel or other fuel, if the 
Secretary of Agriculture determines that such production is desirable in 
order to provide an adequate supply of commodities for such conversion, 
is not likely to increase the cost of price support programs, and will 
not adversely affect farm income.
    (b)(1) During any year in which no set-aside or diversion of acreage 
is in effect under the Agricultural Act of 1949 [7 U.S.C. 1421 et seq.] 
the Secretary of Agriculture may formulate and administer a program for 
the production, subject to such terms and conditions as he may 
prescribe, of commodities for conversion into alcohol or hydrocarbons 
for use as motor fuel or other fuel. Under such program, producers of 
wheat, feed grains, upland cotton, and rice shall be paid incentive 
payments to devote a portion of their acreage to such production.
    (2) The payments under this subsection shall be made at such rate or 
rates as the Secretary of Agriculture determines to be fair and 
reasonable, taking into consideration the participation necessary to 
ensure an adequate supply of commodities for such conversion.
    (3) The Secretary may issue any regulations necessary to carry out 
the provisions of this subsection.
    (4) There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be 
necessary to carry out the provisions of this subsection.
