SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

[[Page 20354]]

Executive Order 12866

    This proposed rule has been determined to be not significant for 
the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and therefore has not been 
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Public Law 104-4

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the 
effects of their regulatory actions on State and local governments and 
the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, the Agricultural 
Marketing Service (AMS) generally must prepare a written statement, 
including a cost-benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with 
``Federal mandates'' that may result in expenditures by State and local 
governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 
million or more in any one year (2 U.S.C. 1532). When such a statement 
is needed for a rule, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires 
Federal agencies to identify and consider a reasonable number of 
regulatory alternatives and adopt the least costly, most cost-
effective, or least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives 
of the rule (2 U.S.C. 1535).
    This rule contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory 
provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for State and local governments or 
the private sector of $100 million or more in any one year. Therefore, 
this rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of 
the UMRA.

Executive Order 12988

    This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil 
Justice Reform. This action is not intended to have retroactive effect. 
This rule will not preempt any state or local laws, regulations or 
policies, unless they present an irreconcilable conflict with this 
rule. There are no administrative procedures which must be exhausted 
prior to any judicial challenge to the provisions of this rule.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance

    This program is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance under No. 10.169, Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.

Executive Order 12372

    This program is not subject to the provisions of Executive Order 
12372, which requires intergovernmental consultation with State and 
local officials. See the Notice related to 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V 
published at 48 FR 29115 (June 24, 1983).

Executive Order 12612

    It has been determined that this rule does not have sufficient 
Federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism 
Assessment. The provisions contained in this rule would not have a 
substantial direct effect on States or their political subdivisions or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
levels of government.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Agricultural Marketing Service certifies that this rule will 
not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities 
as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, Public Law 96-534, as 
amended (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). This rule only will impact State 
departments of agriculture that apply for grant funds. States include 
the fifty States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of 
Puerto Rico. The States are not small entities under the Act.

Authority for a Specialty Crop Block Grant Program

    The proposed program is intended to accomplish the goals of 
increasing fruit, vegetable, and nut consumption and improving the 
competitiveness of United States specialty crop producers. The SCBGP is 
authorized under section 101 of the Specialty Crops Competitiveness Act 
of 2004 (7 U.S.C. 1621 note). Section 101 directs the Secretary of 
Agriculture to make grants to States for each of the fiscal years 2005 
through 2009 to be used by State departments of agriculture solely to 
enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops.
    This proposal also invites comments on the reporting and 
recordkeeping provisions that would be generated by this proposed rule. 
The information collection and recordkeeping requirements associated 
with this proposed rule are explained in more detail in the Paperwork 
Reduction Act section of this rule.

Background

    The Fruit and Vegetable Program will periodically announce that 
applications may be submitted for participation in a ``Specialty Crop 
Block Grant Program'' (SCBGP), which will be administered by personnel 
of the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS).
    Periodically, funding would be appropriated to the Secretary of 
Agriculture to provide specialty crop block grants. To the extent that 
funds are available, each year the AMS will publish a Federal Register 
notice announcing the program and soliciting grant applications.
    Subject to the appropriation of funds, each State that applies is 
to receive at least $100,000 to enhance the competitiveness of 
specialty crops. In addition, each State will receive an amount that 
represents the proportion of the value of specialty crop production in 
the state in relation to the national value of specialty crop 
production using the latest available complete specialty crop 
production data set in all states whose applications are accepted. All 
50 States, the District of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto 
Rico are eligible to participate.
    ``Specialty crops'' for the purpose of this rule, means fruits and 
vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, and nursery crops (including 
floriculture). SCBGP applications will be accepted from any State 
department of agriculture, including the agency, commission, or 
department of a State government responsible for agriculture within the 
State.
    Section 1290.6 prescribes the application procedure that includes a 
State plan to indicate how grant funds will be utilized to enhance the 
competitiveness of specialty crops using measurable expected outcomes. 
Applications can be submitted for projects up to 3 calendar years in 
length. Applicants wishing to serve multi-state projects must submit 
one application by the State assuming the coordinating role.
    Section 1290.8 prescribes that under the SCBGP program, the AMS 
will enter into agreements with those State departments of agriculture 
whose applications have been approved. The State department of 
agriculture will assure that the State will comply with the 
requirements of the State plan. The State department of agriculture 
will also assure that funds shall supplement the expenditure of State 
funds in support of specialty crops grown in that State, rather than 
replace State funds.
    The AMS will provide the entire funding to the approved applicants 
by a one-time combined electronic transfer. SCBGP participants must 
deposit funds in insured, interest-bearing accounts and remit to AMS 
interest earned in accordance with 7 CFR 3015 and 3016.
    Section 1290.9 prescribes the reporting and oversight requirements. 
If the grant period is more than one year, State departments of 
agriculture are required to submit an annual performance report(s) and 
a final performance report evaluating their project(s) using the 
measurable outcomes presented in the State plan, as well as a final 
financial report. If the

[[Page 20355]]

grant period is less than a year, State departments of agriculture are 
required to submit a final performance report and a final financial 
report.
    Section 1290.10 prescribes the audit requirements of the State. The 
State is required to conduct an audit of the expenditures of SCBGP 
funds in accordance with Government Auditing Standards not later than 
60 days after expiration of the grant period. Not later than 30 days 
after completion of the audit, the State shall submit a copy of the 
audit results with an executive summary to AMS.
    AMS is inviting comments on the proposed rule, especially on the 
definition of ``enhancing the competitiveness'' of specialty crops, and 
on how to incorporate outcome measures into the State plan.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.), the AMS announces its intention to request approval by 
OMB of a new information collection.
    Title: Specialty Crop Block Grant Program.
    OMB Number: 0581-New.
    Type of Request: New Information Collection.
    Expiration Date of Approval: 3 years from date of OMB approval.
    Abstract: The information collection requirements in this request 
are applied only to those State departments of agriculture who 
voluntarily participate in the SCBGP. The information collected is 
needed for the implementation of the SCBGP, to determine a State 
department of agriculture's eligibility in the program, and to certify 
that grant participants are complying with applicable program 
regulations. Data collected is the minimum information necessary to 
effectively carry out the requirements of the program, and to fulfill 
the intent of section 101 of the Competitiveness Act of 2004.
    State departments of agriculture who wish to participate in the 
SCBGP would have to submit standard form SF-424, ``Application for 
Federal Assistance'', approved under OMB4040-0004. After 
receipt of the SF-424, the State department of agriculture would have 
to submit SF-424B, ``Assurances-Non-Construction Programs'', approved 
under OMB0348-0040 as part of the grant agreement to the AMS. 
The State department of agriculture would then submit to the AMS 90 
days after the expiration date of the grant period SF269 ``Financial 
Status Report (Long Form)'', if the project had program income, 
approved under OMB0348-0039, or SF269A ``Financial Status 
Report (Short Form)'', approved under OMB0348-0038.
    Completed applications must also include a State plan to show how 
grant funds will be utilized to enhance the competitiveness of 
specialty crops.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 3 hours per response.
    Respondents: State departments of agriculture.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 52 (All 50 states, Puerto Rico, 
and the District of Columbia).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 52.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 156 hours.
    After approval of a grant application, State departments of 
agriculture would have to enter into a grant agreement with AMS by 
reading and signing the grant agreement.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average .083 hours per response.
    Respondents: State departments of agriculture.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 52 (All 50 states, Puerto Rico, 
and the District of Columbia).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 52.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 4.32 hours.
    On average, AMS does not expect a grant period to go beyond three 
calendar years, so State departments of agriculture would have to 
submit to AMS annual performance reports within 90 days after the first 
year of the grant agreement and within 90 days after the second year of 
the grant agreement.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 1 hour per response.
    Respondents: State departments of agriculture.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 52 (All 50 states, Puerto Rico, 
and the District of Columbia).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 52.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 2.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 104 hours.
    If the grant period goes beyond 3 calendar years, a State 
department of agriculture would have to submit a letter to AMS 
requesting a grant period extension.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 0.17 hours per response.
    Respondents: State departments of agriculture.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5 (10% of the 52 respondents).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 5.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 0.85 hours.
    A State department of agriculture would have to submit a final 
performance report to AMS within 90 days following the expiration date 
of the grant period.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 1.5 hours per response.
    Respondents: State departments of agriculture.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 52 (All 50 states, Puerto Rico, 
and the District of Columbia).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 52.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 78 hours.
    No later than 60 days after expiration of the grant period, a State 
would be required to conduct an audit of SCBGP grant funds. An audit 
report/executive summary would be required to be submitted to AMS no 
later than 30 days after completion of the audit.
    Estimate of Burden: Public reporting burden for this collection of 
information is estimated to average 3 hours per response.
    Respondents: State departments of agriculture.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 52 (All 50 states, Puerto Rico, 
and the District of Columbia).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 52.
    Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 156 hours.
    The SCBGP is expected to accomplish the goals of increasing fruit, 
vegetable, and nut consumption and improving the competitiveness of 
United States specialty crop producers.
    This program would not be maintained by any other agency, 
therefore, the requested information will not be available from any 
other existing records.
    AMS is committed to compliance with the Government Paperwork 
Elimination Act (GPEA), which requires Government agencies in general 
to provide the public the option of submitting information or 
transacting business electronically to the maximum extent possible. The 
SF forms and State

[[Page 20356]]

plan can be filled out electronically and printed out for submission or 
filled out electronically and submitted as an attachment through 
Grants.gov. The annual performance reports, final performance report, 
and the audit report/executive summary can be submitted electronically. 
The grant agreement requires an original signature and can be submitted 
by mail.
    Finally, State departments of agriculture would be required to 
retain records pertaining to the SCBGP for 3 years after completion of 
the grant period or until final resolution of any audit findings or 
litigation claims relating to the SCBGP. This is a part of normal 
business practice and consistent with USDA regulations (7 CFR parts 
3015 and 3016).
    The estimated one-time cost for all State departments of 
agriculture in completing the State plan is $9,980. This total cost was 
calculated by multiplying the estimated 499 total burden hours by $20 
per hour (a sum deemed reasonable, shall the respondents be compensated 
for this time).
    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms 
of information technology.
    All comments concerning the information collection shall reference 
the docket number and the date and page number of this issue of the 
Federal Register. Comments concerning the information collection 
requirements should be sent to the office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, OMB: Attention: Desk Officer for AMS, Washington, DC 20503. 
Please state that your comments refer to Docket No. FV06-1290-1 PR. 
Comments may also be sent to Docket Clerk, Fruit and Vegetable 
Programs, Agricultural Marketing Service, U.S. Department of 
Agriculture, Stop 0243, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC

Comments received will be available for public inspection during 
regular business hours at the same address. All responses to this 
notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. 
All comments will also become a matter of public record.
    A 60-day comment period is provided to allow interested persons to 
respond to this proposed information collection. A 30-day period is 
provided concerning comments addressing the provisions of this proposed 
rule. This period is deemed appropriate in order to proceed with final 
regulations, if adopted, that will enable application processing and 
approval of grants during this fiscal year.
