SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

solicitation is issued pursuant to 

Section 6 of the Farmer-to-Consumer 

Direct Marketing Act of 1976 (7 U.S.C. 

3001–3006) as amended by Section 

10605 of the Farm Security and Rural 

Investment Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107– 

171) authorizing the establishment of 

the Farmers’ Market Promotion Program 

(7 U.S.C. 3005)(FMPP) and as amended 

by section 10106 of the Food, 

Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 

(Pub. L. 110–246). The amended act 

states that the purposes of the FMPP are 

‘‘(A) to increase domestic consumption 

of agricultural commodities by 

improving and expanding, or assisting 

in the improvement and expansion of, 

domestic farmers’ markets, roadside 

stands, community-supported 

agriculture programs, agri-tourism 

activities and other direct producer-toconsumer market opportunities; and (B) 

to develop, or aid in the development 

of, new farmers’ markets, roadside 

stands, community-supported 

agriculture programs, agri-tourism 

activities, and other direct producer-toconsumer marketing opportunities.’’ 

Detailed program guidelines may be 

obtained at http://www.ams.usda.gov/ 

FMPP or from the contact listed above. 

In accordance with the Secretary’s 

Statement of Policy (36 FR 13804), it is 

found and determined upon good cause 

that it is impracticable, unnecessary, 

and contrary to the public interest to 

engage in further public participation 

under 5 U.S.C. 553 because the 

applications for the FMPP need to be 

made available as soon as possible as 

the program season approaches. 

Background 

AMS will grant awards for projects 

that continue developing, promoting, 

and expanding direct marketing of 

agricultural commodities from farmers 

to consumers. Eligible FMPP proposals 

should support marketing entities where 

agricultural farmers or vendors sell their 

own products directly to consumers, 

and the sales of these farm products 

should represent the core business of 

the entity. 

All eligible entities shall be domestic 

entities, i.e., those owned, operated, and 

located within one or more of the 50 

United States and the District of 

Columbia only. Entities located within 

U.S. territories are not eligible. 

Additionally, under this program 

eligible entities must apply for FMPP 

funds on behalf of direct marketing 

operators that include two or more 

agricultural farmers/vendors that 

produce and sell their own products 

through a common distribution channel. 

For example, a sole proprietor of a 

roadside farm market would not be 

eligible for this program. Individual 

agricultural producers, including 

farmers and farmers’ market vendors, 

roadside stand operators, communitysupported agriculture participants, and 

other individual direct marketers are not 

eligible for FMPP funds. 

All electronic benefits transfers (EBT) 

will be considered for FMPP funding. 

Not less than 10 percent of the total 

available funds will be used to support 

the use of electronic benefits transfer 

(EBT) for Federal nutrition programs at 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

9156 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 39 / Monday, March 1, 2010 / Notices 

farmers’ markets. Additionally, these 

new EBT projects must demonstrate a 

plan to continue to provide EBT card 

access at one (1) or more farmers’ 

markets following the completion of the 

FMPP grant. To be included in this 

allotment of funds the application 

narrative must designate the applicant’s 

competition for FMPP as a new EBT 

project. See the FMPP Guidelines at 

http://www.ams.usda.gov/FMPP for 

more information. FMPP funds shall be 

provided to eligible entities that 

demonstrate a plan to continue to 

provide EBT card access at one (1) or 

more farmers’ markets following the 

receipt of the grant. 

FMPP grant funds must be applied to 

the specific programs and objectives 

identified in the application. Proprietary 

projects and projects that benefit one 

agricultural producer or individual will 

not be considered. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), the FMPP information 

collection was previously approved by 

OMB and was assigned OMB control 

number 0581–0235. 

AMS is committed to compliance 

with the Government Paperwork 

Elimination Act (GPEA) that requires 

Government agencies in general to 

provide the public the option of 

submitting information or transacting 

business electronically to the maximum 

extent possible.

Applications

application preparation and submission

FMPP. Electronic forms, proposals,
