Sec.  1410.33  Contract modifications.

    (a) As agreed between CCC and the participant, a CRP contract may be 
modified in order to:
    (1) Decrease acreage in the CRP;
    (2) Permit the production of an agricultural commodity under 
extraordinary circumstances during a crop year on all or part of the 
land subject to the CRP contract as determined by the Deputy 
Administrator;
    (3) Facilitate the practical administration of the CRP; or
    (4) Accomplish the goals and objectives of the CRP, as determined by 
the Deputy Administrator.
    (b) CCC may modify CRP contracts to add, delete, or substitute 
practices when, as determined by the Deputy Administrator:
    (1) The installed practice failed to adequately provide for the 
desired environmental benefit through no fault of the participant; or
    (2) The installed measure deteriorated because of conditions beyond 
the control of the participant; and
    (3) Another practice will achieve at least the same level of 
environmental benefit.
    (c) Offers to extend contracts may be made as allowed by law.
    (d) CCC may terminate a CRP contract if the participant agrees to 
such termination and CCC determines such termination to be in the public 
interest.
