BULLETIN NO.: MGR-97-038 TO: All Reinsured Companies All Risk Management Field Offices FROM: Kenneth D. Ackerman /s/ 11-21-97 Administrator SUBJECT: Index of Manager Bulletins and Research and Development Informational Memorandums BACKGROUND: Bulletin No. MGR-97-009, issued February 28, 1997, provided an index of obsolete (Part 1) and current (Part 2) Manager Bulletins and Research and Development (R&D) Informational Memorandums. Since issuance of MGR-97-009, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) has received correspondence requesting that certain Manager Bulletins and R&D Informational Memorandums be reinstated and that RMA clarify what effect declaring a bulletin or memorandum obsolete has on prior determinations made under the obsoleted bulletin or memorandum. ACTION: Obsoleting a bulletin or memorandum does not affect determinations made during the effective time frame or crop year provided by the bulletin or memorandum. When applicable, the information contained in the bulletin or memorandum has been incorporated into the applicable multiperil crop insurance documents in many instances. Additionally, RMA will continue to incorporate bulletins and memorandums into appropriate documents, if applicable. Obsolete bulletins and memorandums should be archived for reference use only; e.g., compliance audits, appeals, litigation, claims, etc. Following is an index of current and obsolete Manager Bulletins and R&D Informational Memorandums by crop year. The index consists of two parts. Part 1 contains bulletins and memorandums obsoleted by this issuance. Part 2 contains a revised list of current bulletins and memorandums. Several bulletins and memorandums previously obsoleted by MGR-97-009 are reinstated and are listed below. You will also find the reinstated bulletins and memorandums listed in Part 2 REINSTATED MANAGER BULLETINS 1992MGR-92-050 1995MGR-95-010 MGR-95-010.1 1996MGR-96-012 MGR-96-012.1 MGR-96-034 REINSTATED R&D INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUMS 1995R&D-95-047 1996R&D-96-020 R&D-96-034 PART 1.
