      SUBCHAPTER V--EMERGENCY LIVESTOCK FEED ASSISTANCE ACT OF 1988
 
Sec. 1471e. Additional assistance


(a) Determination by Secretary

    In addition to the assistance provided under section 1471d of this 
title, if the Secretary determines that the livestock emergency also 
requires the implementation of one or more of the assistance programs 
described in subsection (b) of this section, the Secretary shall 
implement such programs.

(b) Programs authorized

    Special assistance under this section includes--
        (1) the donation of feed owned by the Commodity Credit 
    Corporation for use in feeding livestock stranded and unidentified 
    as to its owner, including the cost of transporting feed to the 
    affected area, during such period as the Secretary, by regulation, 
    may prescribe;
        (2) reimbursement of not to exceed 50 percent of the cost of--
            (A) installing pipelines (if that is the least expensive 
        method) or other facilities, including tanks or troughs, for 
        livestock water;
            (B) construction or deepening of wells or ponds for 
        livestock water; or
            (C) developing springs or seeps for livestock water,

    as appropriate in drought areas to facilitate more efficient and 
    better-distributed grazing on land normally used for grazing. Such 
    cost-share assistance may not be made available to provide water for 
    wildlife or recreational livestock, dry lot feeding, or barns or 
    corrals, or to acquire pumping equipment;
        (3) reimbursement of not to exceed 50 percent of the cost of 
    burning prickly pear cactus to make it suitable for animal feed; and
        (4) making commodities owned by the Commodity Credit Corporation 
    available to livestock producers through the use of a catalog that 
    specifies lots of a size that are economically feasible for a small 
    producer to obtain by means of certificate exchanges.

(c) Water development projects for 1988 and 1989 emergencies

    The Secretary may make available at least $25,000,000 to provide 
special assistance under subsection (b)(2) of this section for livestock 
emergencies in 1988 and 1989.
