The Agriculture Department is adjusting payment limit regulations for certain commodity and disaster programs funded through the Commodity Credit Corp., according to a Federal Register notice published Wednesday.
The changes create a category for qualified pass-through entities in some Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service programs, and this category will be used to help determine those entities' payment limits. The pass-through entities include joint ventures, general partnerships, S corporations, and limited liability companies that choose not to be treated as a corporation, according to the notice.

The rule also exempts recipients of certain disaster and conservation program funding through several programs from the current $900,000 adjusted gross income limit.
The changes are being made under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law last year. The agency separately raised payment limits for the Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage programs through a rule earlier this year, according to the notice.
