Qo) EuGiBLE PRODUCERS.— If the Secretary determines to make crop quality disaster payments available to producers under subsection (a), producers on a farm of a crop described in subsection (a) shall be eligible to receive reduced quality disaster payments only if such producers incur a deficiency in production of not less than 35 percent and not more than 75 percent for such crop (as determined under section 2241, 2242, 2243, or 2244, as appropriate). (c) MAXIMUM PAYMENT RATE.— The Secretary shall establish the reduced quality disaster payment rate, except that such rate shall not exceed 10 percent, as determined by the Secretary, of— (1) the established price for the crop, for commodities covered under section 2241; (2) the basic county loan rate for the crop (or a comparable price if there is no current basic county loan rate), for commodities covered under section 2242; (3) the payment level under section 2243(a)(3), for commodities covered by section 2243; and (4) the payment level under section 2244(a)(2), for commodities covered under section 2244. (d) DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT.—The amount of payment to a producer under this section shall be determined by multiplying the payment rate established under subsection (c) by the portion of the actual harvested crop on the producer's farm that is reduced in quality by such natural disaster in 1989 or 1990, as determined by the Secretary.
