    (a) The Deputy Administrator shall determine, for each historic 
peanut producer under this part, the 4-year average of the following:
    (1) The acreage planted to peanuts on each farm on which the 
historic peanut producer planted peanuts for harvest for the 1998 
through 2001 crop years; and
    (2) Any acreage on each farm that the historic peanut producer was 
prevented from planting to peanuts during the 1998 through 2001 crop 
years because of natural disaster, or any other condition beyond the 
control of the historic peanut producers, as determined by the Deputy 
Administrator.

    (b) For the purposes of determining the 4-year acreage average for a 
historic peanut producer under this part, the Deputy Administrator shall 
not exclude any crop year in which the producer did not plant peanuts.
    (c) If more than one historic peanut producer shared in the risk of 
producing the crop on a farm, the historic peanut producers shall 
receive the proportional share of the number of acres planted or 
prevented from being planted to peanuts for harvest on the farm, based 
on the sharing arrangement that was in effect among the producers for 
the crop.
    (d) When a historic peanut producer is no longer living or when an 
entity composed of historic peanut producers has been dissolved, and in 
other similar situations, the Deputy Administrator shall make the base 
determinations under this subpart in the manner determined to be fair 
and reasonable.
