A
state may become a member of the Interstate Pest Control Compact and of the
Compact Insurance Fund by:
|
|
|
 | Appropriating and
paying to the Compact Insurance Fund the amount shown for it under
State
Assessment in the accompanying chart.
This assessment is a one-time charge unless the fund balance is
reduced, through use, to a level where it can no longer function according
to the provisions of the Compact. Also,
the assessed payment can be spread over as many as six years.
|
|
Currently 37 states have become parties to the Interstate Pest Control
Compact.

The Insurance Fund
was developed around a one-million dollar base apportioned among all 50 states.
The basis for determining the amount of the funds to be appropriated from
each of the party states is as follows:
|
|
Base allocation – One-tenth ($100,000) of
the total base fund was assigned equally to each state ($2,000 per state).
|
|
|
Crop and forest
production allocation – the remainder of the base ($900,000) is
proportioned to each state on the basis of the value of its crop and forest
products, excluding animal and animal products.
|
|
|
The following State
Assessment Chart has been compiled using data from USDA
Economic Research Service following the formula stipulated in the body of the
Compact. It is based on a total
budget of one million dollars and is intended to serve as an illustration of
each state’s share at this level. Actual
appropriations will be based on the latest production and value figures
available.
