7 CFR Part 9


Award of Fellowships to Applicants From Other American Republics

AGENCY: Agricultural Research Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action is being taken as part of the National Performance 
Review program to eliminate unnecessary regulations and improve those 
that remain. This final rule removes obsolete regulations pertaining to 
award of fellowships to applicants from other American Republics by the 
Agricultural Research Service.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 18, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Darrell F. Cole, Assistant Deputy 
Administrator, National Program Staff, Agricultural Research Service, 
USDA, Bldg, 005, Room 120, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, 
Beltsville, MD 20705, (301) 504-5861.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule has been determined not to be 
significant for the purpose of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, 
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. Also, 
this rule will not cause a significant economic impact or other 
substantial effect on small entities and, therefore, the provisions of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., do not apply. 
This action is being taken as part of the National Performance Review 
program to eliminate unnecessary regulations. Since this rule relates 
to internal agency management and removes obsolete recommendations 
which have not been used for many years, notice of proposed rulemaking 
and opportunity for public comment are not required, and this rule may 
take effect 30 days after publication.
