Notice of Funds Availability: Inviting Applications for Market 
Access Program, Foreign Market Development Cooperator Program, Emerging 
Markets Program, Technical Assistance for Specialty Crops Program, and 
Quality Samples Program; Extension of Application Due Date

AGENCY: Commodity Credit Corporation.

ACTION: Notice; extension of application due date.

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

    Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) Numbers: 10.601 
(MAP), 10.600 (FMD), 10.603 (EMP), 10.604 (TASC), 10.605 (QSP).

SUMMARY: The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) published five notices 
in the Federal Register on April 15, 2011, inviting proposals for the 
Market Access Program (MAP), Foreign Market Development Cooperator 
Program (FMD), Emerging Markets Program (EMP), Technical Assistance for 
Specialty Crops Program (TASC), and Quality Samples Program (QSP). The 
notices stated that eligible applicants for these programs could submit 
proposals through May 16, 2011. CCC was unaware at that time that 
electrical construction issues at the U.S. Department of Agriculture 
would prevent the Internet-based application from operating for several 
days during the application period. Thus, this unforeseen situation 
results in less than the desired 30-day application period. 
Consequently by this notice, CCC is extending the application period 
due date for all of these programs to May 20, 2011.

DATES: Effective: May 12, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Program Operations Division, Office of 
Trade Programs, Foreign Agricultural Service, Portals Office Building, 
Suite 400, 1250 Maryland Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20024, or by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CCC published five notices in the Federal 
Register on April 15, 2011, establishing a May 16, 2011, deadline for 
proposals for the MAP, FMD, EMP, TASC, and QSP programs. This deadline, 
which is no longer adequate based on circumstances beyond the control 
of CCC, appeared in the DATES section and the ``Application and 
Submission Information'' section of each notice. The new application 
due date is May 20, 2011. By this notice, CCC informs applicants for 
funding under the MAP, FMD, EMP, TASC, and QSP programs that all 
applications must be received by 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, May 20, 
2011. Applications received after this date will be considered as 
described in the previously issued notices.

    Dated: May 6, 2011.
John D. Brewer,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service, and Vice President, 
Commodity Credit Corporation.
