Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act
of 2001 (2001 Act) provided additional funding of $11.9 million to
continue the AILFP.

contracts and requests to extend feeding periods for existing AILFP
contracts that were approved by the Deputy Administrator for Farm
Programs (DAFP) no later than September 30, 2001. As a result of this
statutory provision, AILFP funding is not available for any AILFP
contract or request to extend a feeding period for an existing AILFP
contract not submitted and approved by DAFP by September 30, 2001. The
program is terminated.
Signed at Washington, DC, on March 28, 2002.
