Availability of Grant Funds and Proposed Implementation 
Guidelines; Withdrawal of Solicitation for the Marine Aquaculture 
Initiative

AGENCY: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration publishes 
this notice to announce the withdrawal of the solicitation of 
applications for the NOAA Marine Aquaculture Initiative 2010, which was 
published in the NOAA ``Availability of Grant Funds for Fiscal Year 
2010'' on January 19, 2010. A new funding opportunity with revised 
requirements and goals is under development and will be published in 
the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Gene Kim, National Sea Grant 
College Program, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1315 
East-West Highway, SSMC3, R/SG, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910, (301) 
734-1281.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 19, 2010, the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration published its annual notice entitled 
``Availability of Grant Funds for Fiscal Year 2010'' (75 FR 3092). 
Included in that notice, beginning on page 3110, was a solicitation of 
applications for the NOAA Marine Aquaculture Initiative 2010 (Catalog 
of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 11.417, Sea Grant Support).
    NOAA publishes this notice to announce that it is withdrawing the 
solicitation of applications for the program, due to incorrect guidance 
being published. A new funding opportunity with revised requirements 
and goals is under development and will be published in the Federal 
Register. Any applications received by the program will be returned to 
the applicant.
    Classification Executive Order 12866: It has been determined that 
this notice is not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    Administrative Procedure Act/Regulatory Flexibility Act: Prior 
notice and an opportunity for public comment are not required by the 
Administrative Procedure Act or any other law for rules concerning 
public property, grants, benefits, and contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2)). 
Because notice and opportunity for comments are not required pursuant 
to U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are inapplicable. 
Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and none 
has been prepared.

    Dated: January 25, 2010.
Mark E. Brown,
Chief Financial Officer/Chief Administrative Officer, Office of Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Research, National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration.
