SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

RFA–FD–09–014 

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

Number: 93.103 

A. Background 

This FOA issued by the Office of Food 

Safety is soliciting a sole source grant 

application from University of Florida 

that proposes to provide funding in 

support of the Seafood HACCP Alliance 

for Education and Training. The 

Seafood HACCP Alliance remains the 

primary training and educational 

program supporting both regulatory and 

commercial governance of seafood and 

aquaculture product safety in the U.S.A. 

FDA actively participates with the 

Alliance and values their educational 

programs, which are essential and 

consistent with the prevailing federal 

mandates for HACCP education and 

training for commercial interests and 

inspectors in state and federal agencies. 

Our funds will provide partial support, 

periodic clerical assistance, and 

personnel travel to national and 

international events and committee 

meetings. These are pertinent to the 

Alliance Steering Committee objectives: 

Related supplies for communications 

and educational programs, 

telecommunication and computer 

equipment for communications and 

production of educational materials, 

and possible part-time student labor for 

temporary assignments. 

B. Research Objectives 

The Seafood HACCP Alliance remains 

the primary training and educational 

program supporting both regulatory and 

commercial governance of seafood and 

aquaculture product safety in the U.S.A. 

Leadership for the Alliance has been 

anchored in the Florida Sea Grant 

College Program based at the University 

of Florida since its beginning in 1994. 

The Alliance continues to function 

under the structure of a formal Steering 

Committee, which is built on a 

backbone of cooperative extension 

services aligned with representation 

from every pertinent federal agency, i.e., 

the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 

FDA, and the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, and the leading national 

seafood trade associations, i.e., National 

Fisheries Institute and the National 

Food Processors Association (recently 

changed to the Seafood Processors 

Association). This is a large, complex, 

and multifaceted effort that involves 

every pertinent state regulatory agency 

in the nation with protocols established 

through the Association of Food & Drug 

Officials (AFDO) and the six regional 

AFDO affiliates. The protocols include 

standards for approving training 

materials, trainers, and courses, and 

procedures for certifications and records 

for course graduates and evaluations. 

This organizational structure has 

involved every state in the nation and 

every cooperative extension program in 

the respective state universities. The 

Alliance is well recognized across the 

nation and about the world, and their 

educational services are expected. This 

network remains experienced and 

poised for continuing services. 

In addition, FDA will support the 

general management of the Seafood 

HACCP Alliance as positioned in the 

Florida Sea Grant College Program at the 

University of Florida. The activities 

associated with Alliance Steering 

Committee objectives are multifaceted 

and involve numerous individuals 

about the nation working through the 

wide variety of programs. These 

working arrangements have been in 

operation and productive for well over 

10 years. 

This cooperative agreement will 

enable the University of Florida to 

continue and strengthen the valued 

utility and proven impacts of the 

existing Seafood HACCP Alliance for 

Education and Training through 

updates, additions, and new programs 

that address the changes in seafood 


sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 147 / Monday, August 3, 2009 / Notices 38463 

safety risks, regulations, and commerce 

that have occurred through the past 

decade. These changes are particularly 

necessary to address the emerging 

concerns for imported products and 

new regulatory guidance anticipated in 

early 2009. 

C. Eligibility Information 

Competition is limited to the 

University of Florida. FDA believes that 

continued support of Seafood HACCP 

Alliance for Education and Training is 

appropriate because the University of 

Florida is uniquely qualified to fulfill 

the objectives of the proposed 

cooperative agreement. 

II. Award Information/Funds Available 

A. Award Amount 

The estimated amount of funds 

available for support in FY09 will be for 

up to $115,000 total costs (direct plus 

indirect costs), with the possibility of 4 

additional years of support for up to 

$460,000, subject to the availability of 

funds. Future year amounts will depend 

on annual appropriations and successful 

performance. 

B. Length of Support 

The award will provide 1 year of 

support and include future 

recommended support for 4 additional 

years, contingent upon satisfactory 

performance in the achievement of 

project and program reporting objectives 

during the preceding year and the 

availability of Federal FY 

appropriations.

I have determined that the damage in 

certain areas of the State of Tennessee 

resulting from severe storms, tornadoes, 

straight-line winds, and flooding during the 

period of June 12–14, 2009, is of sufficient 

severity and magnitude to warrant a major 

disaster declaration under the Robert T. 

Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency

‘‘Stafford Act’’). Therefore, I declare that such 

a major disaster exists in the State of

you find necessary for Federal disaster

Mitigation throughout the State, and any

under the Stafford Act for Public Assistance

Federal funding under that program will also 

be limited to 75 percent of the total eligible

Further, you are authorized to make 

changes to this declaration to the extent 

allowable under the Stafford Act.
