29, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

4, 2010, we published in the Federal 

Register (75 FR 46859–46861, Docket 

No. APHIS–2009–0018) a proposal to 

establish definitions for the terms 

‘‘common cultivar’’ and ‘‘common food 

crop.’’ We proposed to establish these 

definitions in response to recent 

amendments to the Lacey Act, which 

expanded the protections of the Act to 

a broader range of plant species, 

extended its reach to encompass 

products, and require that importers 

submit a declaration at the time of 

importation for certain plants and plant 

products. Common cultivars and 

common food crops are among the 

categorical exemptions to the provisions 

of the Act. The Act does not define the 

terms ‘‘common cultivar’’ and ‘‘common 

food crop’’ but instead gives authority to 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture and 

the U.S. Department of the Interior to 

define these terms by regulation. 

Comments on the proposed rule were 

required to be received on or before 

October 4, 2010. We are reopening the 

comment period on Docket No. APHIS– 

2009–0018 for an additional 30 days. 

This action will allow interested 

persons additional time to prepare and 

submit comments. We will also consider 

all comments received between October 

5, 2010 (the day after the close of the 

original comment period), and the date 

of this notice. 

Authority: 16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.; 7 CFR 

2.22, 2.80, and 371.2(d). 

Done in Washington, DC, this 25th day of 

October 2010. 

Kevin Shea, 

Acting Administrator, Animal and Plant 

Health Inspection Service.

Farm Loan Programs Loan Making 

Activities; Correction 

AGENCY: Farm Service Agency, USDA. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This document contains a 

correction to the proposed rule titled 

‘‘Farm Loan Programs Loan Making 

Activities’’ that was published 

September 23, 2010. The Farm Service 

Agency (FSA) is correcting the 

Paperwork Reduction Act information 

since the information collection 

statement for special direct loan 

servicing was inadvertently omitted 

from the proposed rule. 

DATES: We will consider comments on 

the rule that we receive by November 

22, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

with disabilities or who require 

alternative means for communication 

(Braille, large print, audio tape, etc.) 

should contact the USDA Target Center 

at (202) 720–2600 (voice and TDD). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 23, 2010, FSA published a 

proposed rule (75 FR 57866–57880) to 

implement four provisions of the Food, 

Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 

(2008 Farm Bill). There was an 

inadvertent omission of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act information for special 

direct loan servicing in the document. 

Although the proposed rule does not 

propose any changes to the 7 CFR part 

766, the changes in the proposed rule 

for equine loans would require use of 

the forms currently approved for uses 

related to 7 CFR part 766. Therefore, 

FSA needs to correct the following 

information add to the proposed rule 

published on September 23, 2010. 

Correction 

On page 57873, the following 

correction replaces the third sentences 

in the first paragraph under the heading 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS
