The Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission Policies for 2010

BASE YEAR OF PAYMENTS

For 2010 the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission ("the Commission") has authorized payments from Phase I Funds to flue-cured producers and burley producers based on tobacco production in the 1998 Crop Year.

DEFINITION OF PRODUCER

For purposes of determining the eligibility for payments for 2010, the Commission has defined a "producer" (or grower) as a person or entity actively engaged in planting, growing, harvesting, and marketing of flue-cured or burley tobacco, or who shares in the variable expenses of producing the crop, and is therefore entitled to share in the revenue derived from marketing the crop and who produces the crop on a farm where tobacco was produced for the 1998 crop year.

For 2010, the Commission has authorized payments from Phase I funds to flue-cured and burley quota owners who owned quota during the 1999 Crop Year. Quota owners who owned flue-cured or burley tobacco quota as of July 1, 1999, may be eligible for payment.

DURATION OF PAYMENTS

The 2012 payment will be the final distribution of Phase I Indemnification funds. At that time, the Commission will have successfully indemnified burley and flue-cured producers and quota owners.
