Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2000 / Notices 3939

Ineligible activities include in-store

promotions; restaurant promotions;

branded product promotions (including

labeling and supplementing normal

company sales activities intended to

increase awareness and stimulate sales

of branded products); advertising;

administrative and operational expenses

for trade shows; and for the preparation

and printing of brochures, flyers,

posters, etc. except in connection with

specific technical assistance activities

such as training seminars.

Funding of Proposals

Funding for technical assistance

projects is made on the basis of

proposals to the Emerging Markets

Office (EMO). In general, each proposal

submitted in response to this

announcement will compete against all

such proposals received under the same

announcement. Proposals will be judged

not only on their ability to provide

benefits to the organization receiving

Program funds, but which also represent

the broader interests of the industry

which that organization represents.

The limited funds of the Program and

the range of emerging markets

worldwide in which the funds may be

used preclude EMO from approving

large budgets for single projects. The

Program is intended to provide

appropriate USDA assistance to projects

which also have a significant amount of

financial contributions from other

sources, especially U.S. private

industry. There is no minimum or

maximum amount set for EMO-funded

projects; however, most are funded at

the level of less than $500,000 and for

a duration of 1 year or less. Funding is

normally made available on a costreimbursable basis.

Multi-Year Proposals

These may be considered in the

context of a strategic plan and detailed

plan of implementation. Funding in

such cases is normally provided 1 year

at a time, with commitments beyond the

first year subject to interim evaluations.

Projects Already in Progress

Funding may be considered for

technical assistance projects that have

already begun with the support and

financial assistance of a private entity,

and for which government funding for

continuation of the project is requested.

Such proposals must meet the criteria of

the Program, including cost-sharing for

the portion of the project for which

government funding is requested. Note:

While this announcement solicits

proposals from private U.S. agricultural

organizations for consideration and

funding on a competitive basis, the

EMO may also consider proposals on an

accelerated basis depending upon the

technical and time requirements of the

proposal. If approved, such proposals

would be covered through the Technical

Issues Resolution Fund or the Quick

Response Market Fund. For details

concerning these specialty funds, see

the program guidelines.

Project Reports

Results of all projects supported

financially by the Program must be

reported in a performance report to

EMO. Because public funds are used to

support the project, these reports will be

made available to the public by the

EMO.

Submissions

To assist FAS in making

determinations under the Program, FAS

recommends that all proposals contain

complete information about the

proposed project and that the proposals

not be longer than 10 pages. The

recommended information includes:

name of person/organization submitting

proposal; date of proposal; organization

affiliation and address; telephone and

fax numbers; full title of proposal;

precis of the proposal, including

objectives, proposed activities, benefits

to U.S. agricultural exports, target

country/countries for proposed

activities, projected starting date for

project, and funding amount requested;

summary and detailed description of

proposed project; statement of problem

(specific trade constraint) to be

addressed through the proposed project;

benefits to U.S. agricultural exports as a

result of the proposed project, including

specific performance measures;

supporting market analysis of the target

market(s)—brief economic analysis for

each commodity and country, including

current market conditions and relevant

trade data—and existing percentage of

U.S. export market share, and the basis

or source(s) for this data; information on

whether similar activities are or have

previously been funded in target

country/countries (e.g., under MAP and/

or FMD programs); a clearly stated

explanation as to why participating

organization(s) are unlikely to carry out

activities without Federal financial

assistance; time line(s) for project

implementation; detailed project

budget, including other sources of

funding for the project and

contributions from participating

organizations (additional requirements

are contained in the program

guidelines); Federal tax ID number of

the responsible organization.

Qualifications of applicant(s) should be

included, as an attachment.

Proposals must be submitted in both

printed form and on computer diskette,

using WordPerfect or Word or

compatible format.

Signed at Washington, D.C. on January 14,

2000.

Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service,
