7 U.S.C. § 9040 - Adjustments of loans
Text
(a) Adjustment authority Subject to subsection (e), the Secretary may make appropriate adjustments in the loan rates for any loan commodity (other than cotton) for differences in grade, type, quality, location, and other factors.
(b) Manner of adjustment The adjustments under subsection (a) shall, to the maximum extent practicable, be made in such a manner that the average loan level for the commodity will, on the basis of the anticipated incidence of the factors, be equal to the level of support determined in accordance with this subchapter and subtitle C.
(c) Adjustment on county basis (1) In general The Secretary may establish loan rates for a crop for producers in individual counties in a manner that results in the lowest loan rate being 95 percent of the national average loan rate, if those loan rates do not result in an increase in outlays.
(2) Prohibition Adjustments under this subsection shall not result in an increase in the national average loan rate for any year.
(d) Adjustment in loan rate for cotton (1) In general The Secretary may make appropriate adjustments in the loan rate for cotton for differences in quality factors.

(B) adjustments in the premiums or discounts associated with upland cotton with a staple length of 33 or above due to micronaire with the goal of eliminating any unnecessary artificial splits in the calculations of the premiums or discounts; and
(C) such other adjustments as the Secretary determines appropriate, after consultations conducted in accordance with paragraph (3).
(3) Consultation with private sector (A) Prior to revision In making adjustments to the loan rate for cotton (including any review of the adjustments) as provided in this subsection, the Secretary shall consult with representatives of the United States cotton industry.
