tropical crops will only include hurricanes, typhoons, and named 
tropical storms.
    (c) Producers who have applied for coverage on covered tropical

    (2) A failure to maintain acceptable contemporaneous records 
throughout the crop year may be treated by CCC as grounds of 
ineligibility for benefits under this part.
