SUBJECT:  Transmittal of the Agent Locator Directory


BACKGROUND:

The Agent Locator Directory is prepared and distributed semi-annually for use 
by Farm Service Agency (FSA) County offices for the purpose of informing the 
public of the availability of private insurance agents who sell and service 
multiple peril crop insurance (MPCI).  Each County office will keep the 
Directory readily available for producers to use in locating Agent(s) selling 
and servicing catastrophic and buy-up MPCI coverage.  Upon request, the 
County offices will provide the producer with a copy of the page(s) 
containing the Agent(s) he/she wishes to contact.   

ACTION:

The purpose of this Bulletin is to notify reinsured companies that County 
offices are being provided with an updated Directory.  Any revisions to the 
Directory must be in accordance with MGR Bulletin: MGR-96-007.  If you should 
have any questions, please contact your Reinsurance Services Liaison Branch 
Account Executive.
