DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Farm Service Agency


Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) To Invite Applications for 
the American Indian Credit Outreach Initiative

AGENCY: Farm Service Agency, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is requesting applications for 
competitive cooperative agreement funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 for 
the credit outreach initiative targeted to American Indian farmers, 
ranchers, and youth residing primarily on Indian reservations within 
the contiguous United States. Subject to the availability of 
appropriations, FSA anticipates the availability of up to $1,135,000 in 
funding and the award to one successful applicant through a Cooperative 
Agreement. This request for applications is being made prior to passage 
of an FY 2010 appropriations bill to allow applicants sufficient time 
to submit proposals, give the Agency maximum time to process 
applications, and permit continuity of this program. There is no 
certainty that there will be appropriated funds to fund these 
applications, so applicants submitting applications prior to the 
availability of appropriated funds do so at the risk that there may be 
no funding. FSA requests proposals from eligible nonprofit 
organizations, land-grant institutions, and federally-recognized Indian 
tribal governments interested in a competitively-awarded cooperative 
agreement to create and implement a mechanism that will provide credit 
outreach and promotion, pre-loan education, and one-on-one loan 
application preparation assistance to American Indian farmers, 
ranchers, and youth. Successful proposals may include other innovative 
services intended to enhance participation by American Indians in 
specific FSA Agricultural Credit Programs.

DATES: Applications must be completed and submitted to the Agency no 
later than 5 p.m. eastern time September 28, 2009. Late applications 
will not be accepted and will be returned to the applicant. Applicants 
must ensure that the service used to deliver the application can do so 
by the deadline. Due to security concerns, packages sent to the Agency 
by mail have been delayed several days or even weeks.

ADDRESSES: Submit applications and other required materials by mail to: 
Mike Hill, Director, Outreach Staff, Farm Service Agency, USDA, STOP 
0511, Suite 508 Portals Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., 
Washington, DC 20250-0511.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Hill, (202) 690-1098; e-mail:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose of Solicitation

    This solicitation is issued under 7 U.S.C. 2204b (b)(4), which 
authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to enter into cooperative 
agreements to improve the coordination and effectiveness of Federal 
programs affecting rural areas. The principal objective of this 
cooperative agreement is to continue a national outreach program that 
enables American Indian farmers, ranchers, and youth primarily located 
on Indian reservations in the contiguous United States to understand 
and have access to the various FSA Agriculture Credit Programs.

Proposal Requirements

    All proposed approaches must include a plan for how the project 
will have the following capabilities in place within three months after 
acceptance of award:
    (1) A data tracking system that records and tracks all project 
credit outreach activities and has the ability to provide detailed 
statistical information on an ad hoc basis, that must also be 
functional on a real-time basis as well as being available online 
through the Internet, and
    (2) The demonstrated ability to deliver these credit outreach 
services utilizing the FSA online Farm Business Plan software program.
    Proposals must demonstrate innovative and unique ways of ensuring 
that American Indians have improved access to FSA Agricultural Credit 
Programs through targeted outreach activities including targeted 
promotional campaigns, educational

[[Page 43666]]

programs, general information dissemination, and one-on-and one 
assistance.

Background

    Today, American Indians own and control approximately 66 million 
acres of agricultural lands held in trust by the United States 
Government and administered, for the most part, by the Bureau of Indian 
Affairs (BIA) of the Department of the Interior. Land-based 
agricultural enterprises are considered the primary source of revenue 
for most tribes, due in large part to their geographical isolation from 
any urban type industrial development activities. Thus, protecting this 
resource and utilizing it effectively is an important function of the 
elected tribal officials charged with operating business activities 
that take place within reservations.
    The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides farmers 
and ranchers technical, financial, and educational resources. American 
Indian agricultural producers on reservations have historically been 
less able to benefit from USDA services than other farmers and 
ranchers. Since 1987, Congress has enacted Federal laws, such as the 
recent Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246, 
2008 Farm Bill), to address American Indians (and other socially 
disadvantaged farmers and ranchers) lack of access to USDA's programs 
and services; this has resulted in beginning to close some of the gaps 
in access to these programs and services. As positive as these changes 
are, they have not fully addressed an implementation plan or the funds 
needed to carry out implementation of sorely needed agribusiness 
education and direct services to American Indian Reservation farmers 
and ranchers.
    American Indian agribusinesses, as well as individual Indians, have 
consistently reported that the primary need in Indian agriculture is 
access to the capital required to own and operate their own farms or 
ranches. Therefore, FSA has created and implemented this cooperative 
funding mechanism to provide credit outreach and other related training 
and assistance services related to FSA's Agricultural Credit Programs, 
subject to funding, as a way to resolve some of the credit needs of 
Indian agriculture.

Evaluation Criteria, Proposal Review

    A National Office panel of USDA employees will review applications 
for eligibility, completeness, and responsiveness to this NOFA. 
Incomplete or non-responsive applications will be returned to the 
applicant and not evaluated further. If the submission deadline has not 
expired and time permits, ineligible applications may be returned to 
the applicants for possible revision.
    The proposal will be evaluated using the criteria specified below. 
Failure to address any one of the criteria will disqualify the 
application. All proposals must be in compliance with this NOFA and 
applicable statutes.
    Prior to technical examination, a preliminary review will be made 
by FSA Outreach Staff for responsiveness to this solicitation. 
Proposals that do not fall within the solicitation guidelines or are 
otherwise ineligible will be eliminated from competition. All 
responsive proposals will be reviewed by a panel of reviewers using the 
evaluation criteria stated below. The selected USDA employee reviewers 
will be chosen to provide maximum expertise and objective judgment in 
the evaluation of proposals. Evaluated proposals will be ranked by the 
FSA Outreach Staff based on the evaluation criteria and weights listed 
below. Final approval of those proposals will be made by the 
Administrator of FSA, subject to the availability of funding.

Evaluation Criteria and Weights

    All responsive proposals will be reviewed based on the following 
seven criteria:
    (1) Applicant's Commitment and Resources (15 points). The standard 
evaluates the degree to which the organization is committed to the 
project, and the experience, qualifications, competency, and 
availability of personnel and resources to direct and carry out the 
project. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate its ability to 
deliver credit outreach services utilizing the FSA online Farm Business 
Plan software program within 3 months after acceptance of any financial 
award.
    (2) Feasibility and Policy Consistency (20 points). The standard 
evaluates the degree to which the proposal clearly describes its 
objectives and evidences a high level of feasibility. This criterion 
relates to the adequacy and soundness of the proposed approach to the 
solution of the problem and evaluates the plan of operation, timetable, 
evaluation, and dissemination plans.
    (3) Detailed Description of Collaborative Partnerships, if any, and 
Program Recipients (20 points). This standard evaluates the degree to 
which the proposal reflects partnerships and collaborative initiatives 
with other agencies or organizations to enhance the quality and 
effectiveness of the program. Additionally, the areas and number of 
underserved American Indian farmers, ranchers, and youth who would 
benefit from the services offered will be evaluated.
    (4) Outreach to Socially Disadvantaged American Indian Applicants 
(10 points). This standard evaluates the degree to which the proposal 
contains detailed programs to reach persons identified as socially 
disadvantaged American Indian farmers, ranchers, and youth. The 
proposal will be evaluated for its potential for encouraging and 
assisting socially disadvantaged American Indian farmers, ranchers, and 
youth to utilize the various FSA agriculture credit programs. Elements 
considered include impact, continuation plans, innovation, and expected 
products and results.
    (5) Innovative Strategies (25 points). This standard evaluates the 
degree to which the proposal reflects innovative strategies for 
reaching the population targeted in the proposal and achieving the 
project objectives. This standard will also evaluate data tracking 
capability. For data tracking, the standard evaluates evidence that the 
applicant has the ability to put in place within 3 months of award a 
data tracking system that can record and track all credit outreach 
activities and the ability to provide detailed statistical information 
on an ad hoc basis, with additional evidence supporting the system's 
ability to function on a real-time basis as well its ability to be 
available online through the Internet. For innovative solutions, the 
standard evaluates originality, practicality, and creativity in 
proposing ways to develop and test innovative solutions to existing or 
anticipated credit issues or problems of socially disadvantaged 
American Indian farmers, ranchers, and youth. The proposal will be 
reviewed for its responsiveness to the need to provide socially 
disadvantaged American Indian farmers, ranchers, and youth with 
promotion, relevant information, and direct assistance in applying for 
and receiving FSA agriculture credit, and other essential information 
to enhance participation in agricultural programs and conduct a 
successful farming or ranching operation.
    (6) Overall Quality of the Proposal (5 points). This standard 
evaluates the degree to which the proposal complies with this NOFA and 
is of high quality. Elements considered include adherence to 
instructions, accuracy and completeness of forms, clarity and 
organization of ideas, thoroughness and sufficiency of detail in the 
budget narrative, specificity of allocations between targeted areas if 
the proposal addresses more than one area, and completeness of vitae 
for all key personnel associated with the project.
    (7) Accuracy of Proposed Budget and Justification (5 points). This 
standard evaluates the accuracy of the proposed budget and the 
accompanying budget justification. The proposed budget should provide a 
detailed description of each budget category that includes categorical 
subtotals as well as a separate budget justification that clearly 
defines and explains each and every proposed budget line item.

Selection Process

    When the reviewers have completed their individual evaluations, the 
panel reviewers, based on the individual reviews, will make a 
recommendation to the Administrator that one responsive proposal be 
approved for support from available funds. Prior to award, the 
Administrator reserves the right to negotiate with an applicant whose 
project is recommended for funding regarding project revisions (for 
example, change in scope of work or the Agency's significant 
involvement), funding level, or period of support. A proposal may be 
withdrawn at any time before a final funding decision is made.

Cooperative Agreement Awards

    Within the limit of funds available for such purpose, the 
Administrator will enter into a cooperative agreement with the 
successful applicant. The date specified by the Administrator as the 
effective date of the award will not be later than 12 months after the 
project is approved for support and funds are appropriated for such 
purpose, unless otherwise permitted by law.
