DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Commodity Credit Corporation 

Notice of Funds Availability: Inviting 

Applications for the Emerging Markets 

Program 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Credit 

Corporation (CCC) announces that it is 

inviting proposals for the 2015 

Emerging Markets Program (EMP). The 

intended effect of this notice is to solicit 

applications from the private sector and 

from government agencies for fiscal year 

2015 and to set out criteria for the award 

of funds under the program in October 

2014. The EMP is administered by 

personnel of the Foreign Agricultural 

Service (FAS). 

DATES: To be considered for funding, 

applications must be received by 5 p.m. 

Eastern Daylight Time, May 19, 2014. 

Any applications received after this 

time will be considered only if funds are 

still available. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Entities wishing to apply for funding 

assistance should contact the Program 

Operations Division, Office of Trade 

Programs, Foreign Agricultural Service 

by courier address: Room 6512, 1400 

Independence Ave. SW., Washington, 

DC 20250, or by phone: (202) 720–4327, 

or by fax: (202) 720–9361, or by email: 

podadmin@fas.usda.gov. Information is 

also available on the Foreign 

Agricultural Service Web site at http:// 

www.fas.usda.gov/programs/emergingmarkets-program-emp. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Announcement Type: New. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number: 10.603. 

Authority: The EMP is authorized by 

section 1542(d)(1) of the Food, 

Agriculture, Conservation and Trade 

Act of 1990 (The Act), as amended. The 

EMP regulations appear at 7 CFR part 

1486. 

1. Purpose. The EMP assists U.S. 

entities in developing, maintaining, or 

expanding exports of U.S. agricultural 

commodities and products by funding 

activities that improve emerging 

markets’ food and rural business 

systems, including reducing potential 

trade barriers in such markets. The EMP 

is intended primarily to support export 

market development efforts of the 

private sector, but EMP resources may 

also be used to assist public 

organizations. 

All U.S. agricultural commodities, 

except tobacco, are eligible for 

consideration. Agricultural product(s) 

should be comprised of at least 50 

percent U.S. origin content by weight, 

exclusive of added water, to be eligible 

for funding. Proposals that seek support 

for multiple commodities are also 

eligible. EMP funding may only be used 

to develop, maintain, or expand 

emerging markets for U.S. agricultural 

commodities and products through 

generic activities. EMP funding may not 

be used to support the export of another 

country’s products to the United States, 

or to promote the development of a 

foreign economy as a primary objective. 

2. Appropriate Activities. All EMP 

projects must fall into at least one of the 

following four categories: 

(a) Assistance to teams consisting 

primarily of U.S. individuals expert in 

assessing the food and rural business 

systems of other countries. This type of 

EMP project must include all three of 

the following: 

• Conduct an assessment of the food 

and rural business system needs of an 

emerging market; 

• Make recommendations on 

measures necessary to enhance the 

effectiveness of these systems; and 

• Identify opportunities and projects 

to enhance the effectiveness of the 

emerging market’s food and rural 

business systems. 

To be eligible, such proposals must 

clearly demonstrate that experts are 

primarily agricultural consultants, 

farmers, other persons from the private 

sector, and government officials, and 

that they have expertise in assessing the 

food and rural business systems of other 

countries. 

(b) Assistance to enable individuals 

from emerging markets to travel to the 

United States so that these individuals 

can, for the purpose of enhancing the 

food and rural business systems in their 

countries, become familiar with U.S. 

technology and agribusiness and rural 

enterprise operations by consulting with 

food and rural business system experts 

in the United States. 

(c) Assistance to enable U.S. 

agricultural producers and other 

individuals knowledgeable in 

agricultural and agribusiness matters to 

travel to emerging markets to assist in 

transferring their knowledge and 

expertise to entities in emerging 

markets. Such travel must be to 

emerging markets. Travel to developed 

markets is not eligible under the 

program even if the traveler’s targeted 

market is an emerging market. 

(d) Technical assistance to implement 

the recommendations, projects, and/or 

opportunities identified under 2(a) 

above. Technical assistance that does 

not implement the recommendations, 

projects, and/or opportunities identified 

by assistance under 2(a) above is not 

eligible under the EMP. 

Proposals that do not fall into one or 

more of the four categories above are not 

eligible for consideration under the 

program. 

EMP funds may not be used to 

support normal operating costs of 

individual organizations, nor as a source 

to recover pre-award costs or prior 

expenses from previous or ongoing 

projects. Proposals that counter national 

strategies or duplicate activities planned 

or already underway by U.S. non-profit 

agricultural commodity or trade 

associations (‘‘cooperators’’) will not be 

considered. Other ineligible 

expenditures include: branded product 

promotions (e.g., in-store, restaurant 

advertising, labeling, etc.); advertising, 

administrative, and operational 

expenses for trade shows; Web site 

development; equipment purchases; and 

the preparation and printing of 

brochures, flyers, and posters (except in 

connection with specific technical 

assistance activities such as training 

seminars). For a more complete 

description of ineligible expenditures, 

please refer to the EMP regulations. 

3. Eligible Markets. The Act defines 

an emerging market as any country that 

the Secretary of Agriculture determines: 

(a) Is taking steps toward developing 

a market-oriented economy through the 

food, agriculture, or rural business 

sectors of the economy of the country; 

and 

(b) Has the potential to provide a 

viable and significant market for U.S. 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
21712 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 74 / Thursday, April 17, 2014 / Notices 

agricultural commodities or products of 

U.S. agricultural commodities. 

Because EMP funds are limited and 

the range of potential emerging market 

countries is worldwide, consideration 

will be given only to proposals that 

target countries or regional groups with 

per capita income of less than $12,616 

(the current ceiling on upper middle 

income economies as determined by the 

World Bank [World Development 

Indicators; October 2013, http://

siteresources.worldbank.org/

DATASTATISTICS/Resources/

CLASS.XLS]) and populations of greater 

than 1 million. 

Income limits and their calculation 

can change from year to year with the 

result that a given country may qualify 

under the legislative and administrative 

criteria one year, but not the next. 

Therefore, CCC has not established a 

fixed list of emerging market countries. 

A few countries technically qualify as 

emerging markets but may require a 

separate determination before funding 

can be considered because of political 

sensitivities. 

II. Award Information 

In general, all qualified proposals 

received before the application deadline 

will compete for EMP funding. Priority 

consideration will be given to proposals 

that directly support or address at least 

one of the goals and objectives in the 

USDA and FAS Strategic Plans. The 

USDA Strategic Plan and Strategic Plan 

Update Addendum can be accessed at 

the following link: USDA Strategic 

Plan—http://www.ocfo.usda.gov/

usdasp/sp2010/sp2010.pdf; USDA 

Strategic Plan Update Addendum— 

http://www.ocfo.usda.gov/usdasp/

sp2010/

Strategic%20Plan%20Update.pdf. The 

FAS strategic plan can be accessed at 

the following link: http://

www.fas.usda.gov/sites/development/

files/fas_stratplan_2012–2016.pdf. The 

applicants’ willingness to contribute 

resources, including cash, goods and 

services, will be a critical factor in 

determining which proposals are 

funded under the EMP. Each proposal 

will also be judged on the potential 

benefits to the industry represented by 

the applicant and the degree to which 

the proposal demonstrates industry 

support. 

The limited funds and the range of 

eligible emerging markets worldwide 

generally preclude CCC from approving 

large budgets for individual projects. 

While there is no minimum or 

maximum amount set for EMP-funded 

projects, most projects are funded at a 

level of less than $500,000 and for a 

duration of approximately one year. 

Private entities may submit multi-year 

proposals requesting higher levels of 

funding that may be considered in the 

context of a detailed strategic 

implementation plan. Funding in such 

cases is generally limited to three years 

and provided one year at a time with 

commitments beyond the first year 

subject to interim evaluations and 

funding availability. Government 

entities are not eligible for multi-year 

funding. 

Funding for successful proposals will 

be provided through specific 

agreements. The CCC, through FAS, will 

be kept informed of the implementation 

of approved projects through the 

requirement to provide interim progress 

reports and final performance reports. 

Changes in the original project timelines 

and adjustments within project budgets 

must be approved in advance by FAS. 

Note: EMP funds awarded to government 

agencies must be expended or otherwise 

obligated by close of business, September 30, 

2015. 

III. Eligibility and Qualification 

Information 

1. Eligible Applicants: Any U.S. 

private or government entity (e.g., 

universities, non-profit trade 

associations, agricultural cooperatives, 

state regional trade groups (SRTGs), 

state departments of agriculture, federal 

agencies, profit-making entities, and 

consulting businesses) with a 

demonstrated role or interest in exports 

of U.S. agricultural commodities or 

products may apply to the program. 

Proposals from research and consulting 

organizations will be considered if they 

provide evidence of substantial 

participation by and financial support 

from the U.S. industry. For-profit 

entities are also eligible but may not use 

program funds to conduct private 

business, promote private self-interests, 

supplement the costs of normal sales 

activities or promote their own products 

or services beyond specific uses 

approved by CCC in a given project. 

U.S. export market development 

cooperators and SRTGs may seek 

funding to address priority, market 

specific issues and to undertake 

activities not suitable for funding under 

other CCC market development 

programs, e.g., the Foreign Market 

Development Cooperator (Cooperator) 

Program and the Market Access Program 

(MAP). Foreign organizations, whether 

government or private, may participate 

as third parties in activities carried out 

by U.S. organizations, but are not 

eligible for funding assistance from the 

program. 

2. Cost Sharing: No private sector 

proposal will be considered without the 

element of cost-share from the applicant 

and/or U.S. partners. The EMP is 

intended to complement, not supplant, 

the efforts of the U.S. private sector. 

There is no minimum or maximum 

amount of cost-share, though the range 

in recent successful proposals has been 

between 35 and 75 percent. The degree 

of commitment to a proposed project, 

represented by the amount and type of 

private funding, is one factor used in 

determining which proposals will be 

approved for funding. Cost-share may be 

actual cash invested or professional 

time of staff assigned to the project. 

Proposals for which private industry is 

willing to commit cash, rather than inkind contributions, such as staff 

resources, will be given priority 

consideration. 

Cost-sharing is not required for 

proposals from government agencies, 

but is mandatory for all other eligible 

entities, even when they may be party 

to a joint proposal with a government 

agency. Contributions from USDA or 

other government agencies or programs 

may not be counted toward the stated 

cost-share requirement of other 

applicants. Similarly, contributions 

from foreign (non-U.S.) organizations 

may not be counted toward the costshare requirement, but may be counted 

in the total cost of the project. 

3. Other: Proposals should include a 

justification for funding assistance from 

the program—an explanation as to what 

specifically could not be accomplished 

without Federal funding assistance and 

why the participating organization(s) 

would be unlikely to carry out the 

project without such assistance. 

Applicants may submit more than one 

proposal. 

IV. Application and Submission 

Information 

1. Address to Request Application 

Package: EMP applicants have the 

opportunity to utilize the Unified 

Export Strategy (UES) application 

process, an online system that provides 

a means for interested applicants to 

submit a consolidated and strategically 

coordinated single proposal that 

incorporates funding requests for any or 

all of the market development programs 

administered by FAS. 

Applicants are strongly encouraged to 

submit their applications to FAS 

through the UES application Internet 

Web site. The Internet-based format 

reduces paperwork and expedites FAS’ 

processing and review cycle. Applicants 

planning to use the on-line UES system 

must contact the Program Operations 

Division to obtain site access 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

line item cost for each, should be listed, 

clearly indicating: 

(1) Which items are to be covered by 

EMP funding; 

(2) Which by the participating U.S. 

organization(s); and 

(3) Which by foreign third parties (if 

applicable). 

Cost items for individual consultant 

fees should show calculation of daily 

rate and number of days. Cost items for 

travel expenses should show number of 

trips, destinations, cost, and objective 

for each trip; and 

(t) Qualifications of applicant(s) 

should be included as an attachment. 

3. Funding Restrictions: Certain types 

of expenses are not eligible for 

reimbursement by the program, and 

there are limits on other categories of 

expenses, such as indirect overhead 

charges, travel expenses, and consulting 

fees. CCC will also not reimburse 

unreasonable expenditures or 

expenditures made prior to approval of 

a proposal. Full details of the funding 

restrictions are available in the EMP 

regulations. 

4. Submission Dates and Times: EMP 

proposals are reviewed on a rolling 

basis during the fiscal year as long as 

EMP funding is available as set forth 

below: 

• Proposals received by, but not later 

than, 5 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, May 

19, 2014, will be considered for funding 

with other proposals received by that 

date; 

• Proposals not approved for funding 

during the review period will be 

reconsidered for funding after the 

review period only if the applicant 

specifically requests such 

reconsideration in writing, and only if 

funding remains available; 

• Proposals received after 5 p.m. 

Eastern Daylight Time, May 19, 2014, 

will be considered in the order received 

for funding only if funding remains 

available. 

V. Application Review Information 

1. Criteria: Key criteria used in 

judging proposals include: 

• The objective of the activities is to 

develop, maintain, or expand markets 

for U.S. agricultural exports by 

improving the effectiveness of the food 

and rural business systems in emerging 

markets; 

• Appropriateness of the activities for 

the targeted market(s) and the extent to 

which the project identifies market 

barriers (e.g., a fundamental deficiency 

in the emerging market’s food and rural 

business systems, and/or a recent 

change in those systems); 

• Potential of the project to expand 

U.S. market share and increase U.S. 

exports or sales; 

• Quality of the project’s performance 

measures, and the degree to which they 

relate to the objectives, deliverables, and 

proposed approach and activities; 

• Justification for Federal funding; 

• Overall cost of the project and the 

amount of funding provided by the 

applicant and any partners; and 

• Evidence that the organization has 

the knowledge, expertise, ability, and 

resources to successfully implement the 

project, including timeliness and quality 

of reporting on past EMP activities. 

Please see 7 CFR part 1486 for 

additional evaluation criteria.

Notice of Funds Availability: Inviting 

Applications for the Technical 

Assistance for Specialty Crops 

Program 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Credit 

Corporation (CCC) announces that it is 

inviting proposals for the 2015 

Technical Assistance for Specialty 

Crops (TASC) program. The intended 

effect of this notice is to solicit 

applications from the private sector and 

from government agencies for fiscal year 

2015 and to set out criteria for the award 

of funds in October 2014. The TASC 

program is administered by personnel of 

the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS). 

DATES: To be considered for funding, 

applications must be received by 5 p.m. 

Eastern Daylight Time, May 19, 2014. 

Any applications received after this 

time will be considered only if funds are 

still available. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Entities wishing to apply for funding 

assistance should contact the Program 

Operations Division, Office of Trade 

Programs, Foreign Agricultural Service 

by courier address: Room 6512, 1400

technical-assistance-specialty-crops. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Announcement Type: New. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number: 10.604. 

Authority: The TASC program is 

authorized by section 3205 of Public 

Law 107–171. TASC regulations appear 

at 7 CFR part 1487. 

Purpose: The TASC program is 

designed to assist U.S. organizations by 

providing funding for projects that 

address sanitary, phytosanitary, or 

technical barriers that prohibit or 

threaten the export of U.S. specialty 

crops. U.S. specialty crops, for the 

purpose of the TASC program, are 

defined to include all cultivated plants, 

or the products thereof, produced in the 

United States, except wheat, feed grains, 

oilseeds, cotton, rice, peanuts, sugar, 

and tobacco. 

Prior to the enactment of the 

Agricultural Act of 2014 (Act) on 

February 7, 2014, the TASC program 

was not available to address technical 

barriers to trade except for those that 

were related to sanitary or phytosanitary 

issues. The Act amended the statute 

authorizing the TASC program to allow 

the program to be used to address 

technical barriers to trade regardless of 

whether the barriers are related to a 

sanitary or phytosanitary barrier. At this 

time, the TASC regulations have not yet 

been amended to reflect the recent 

statutory change. Notwithstanding the 

existing TASC regulations, however, 

under this announcement, proposals 

will be accepted in line with the 

amended statute, that is, if the proposals 

address sanitary, phytosanitary, or 

technical barriers to trade, regardless of 

whether the technical barriers are of a 

sanitary or phytosanitary nature. 

As a general matter, TASC program 

projects should be designed to address 

the following criteria: 

• Projects should identify and 

address a sanitary, phytosanitary, or 

technical barrier that prohibits or 

threatens the export of U.S. specialty 

crops; 

• Projects should demonstrably 

benefit the represented industry rather 

than a specific company or brand; 

• Projects must address barriers to 

exports of commercially-available U.S. 

specialty crops for which barrier 

removal would predominantly benefit 

U.S. exports; and 

• Projects should include an 

explanation as to what specifically 

could not be accomplished without 

Federal funding assistance and why the 

participating organization(s) would be 

unlikely to carry out the project without 

such assistance. 

Examples of expenses that CCC may 

agree to reimburse under the TASC 

program include, but are not limited to: 

Initial pre-clearance programs, export 

protocol and work plan support, 

seminars and workshops, study tours, 

field surveys, development of pest lists, 

pest and disease research, database 

development, reasonable logistical and 

administrative support, and travel and 

per diem expenses. 

II. Award Information 

In general, all qualified proposals 

received before the specified application 

deadline will compete for funding. The 

limited funds and the range of barriers 

affecting the exports of U.S. specialty 

crops worldwide preclude CCC from 

approving large budgets for individual 

projects. Proposals requesting more than 

$500,000 in any given year will not be 

considered. Additionally, private 

entities may submit multi-year 

proposals that may be considered in the 

context of a detailed strategic 

implementation plan. The maximum 

duration of an activity is five years. 

Funding in such cases may, at FAS’
