E. Application Review Information 

Evaluation criteria. FAS will consider 

a number of factors when reviewing 

proposals, including: 

• Appropriateness of the activity, 

including the ability of the applicant to 

provide an experienced U.S.-based staff 

with knowledge and expertise to ensure 

adequate development, supervision, and 

execution of the proposed project; the 

entity’s willingness to contribute 

resources, including cash and goods and 

services of the U.S. industry, with 

greater weight given to cash 

contributions (for private sector 

proposals only); and the conditions or 

constraints affecting the level of U.S. 

exports and market share for the 

agricultural commodity/product (30%); 

• Market Impact, including the degree 

to which the proposed project is likely 

to contribute to the development, 

maintenance, or expansion of U.S. 

agricultural exports to emerging 

markets; and demonstration of how a 

proposed project will benefit a 

particular industry as a whole; and the 

quality of the project’s proposed 

performance measures (50%); and the 

• Completeness and viability of the 

proposal, along with past program 

results and evaluations, if applicable

Notice of Funds Availability: Inviting 

Applications for the Quality Samples 

Program 

Announcement Type: New. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number: 10.605. 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Credit 

Corporation (CCC) announces it is 

inviting proposals for the 2016 Quality 

Samples Program (QSP). The intended 

effect of this notice is to solicit 

applications from eligible applicants for 

fiscal year 2016 and to set out the 

criteria for the award of funds under the 

program in October 2015. QSP 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, June 8, 2015. 

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 FAS Web site at 

http://www.fas.usda.gov/programs/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Funding Opportunity Description 

Authority: QSP is authorized under 

Section 5(f) of the CCC Charter Act, 15 

U.S.C. 714c(f). 

Purpose: QSP is designed to 

encourage the development and 

expansion of export markets for U.S. 

agricultural commodities by assisting 

U.S. entities in providing commodity 

samples to potential foreign importers to 

promote a better understanding and 

appreciation for the high quality of U.S. 

agricultural commodities. 

QSP participants will be responsible 

for procuring (or arranging for the 

procurement of) commodity samples, 

exporting the samples, and providing 

the on-site technical assistance 

necessary to facilitate successful use of 

the samples by importers. Participants 

that are funded under this 

announcement may seek reimbursement 

from QSP for the sample purchase price, 

the cost of transporting the samples 

domestically to the port of export, and 

then to the foreign port or point of entry. 

Transportation costs from the foreign 

port or point of entry to the final 

destination will not be eligible for 

reimbursement. CCC will not reimburse 

the costs incidental to purchasing and 

transporting samples, for example, 

inspection or documentation fees. 

Although providing technical assistance 

is required for all projects, QSP will not 

reimburse the costs of providing 

technical assistance. A QSP participant 

will be reimbursed after CCC reviews its 

reimbursement claim and determines 

that the claim is complete. 

General Scope of QSP Projects: QSP 

projects are the activities undertaken by 

a QSP participant to provide an 

appropriate sample of a U.S. agricultural 

commodity to a foreign importer, or a 

group of foreign importers, in a given 

market. The purpose of the project is to 

provide information to an appropriate 

target audience regarding the attributes, 

characteristics, and proper use of the 

U.S. commodity. A QSP project 

addresses a single market/commodity 

combination. 

As a general matter, QSP projects 

should conform to the following 

guidelines: 

• Projects should benefit the 

represented U.S. industry and not a 

specific company or brand; 

• Projects should develop a new 

market for a U.S. product, promote a 

new U.S. product, or promote a new use 

for a U.S. product, rather than promote 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

18592 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 66 / Tuesday, April 7, 2015 / Notices 

the substitution of one established U.S. 

product for another; 

• Sample commodities provided 

under a QSP project must be in 

sufficient supply and available on a 

commercial basis; 

• The QSP project must either subject 

the commodity sample to further 

processing or substantial transformation 

in the importing country, or the sample 

must be used in technical seminars in 

the importing country designed to 

demonstrate to an appropriate target 

audience the proper preparation or use 

of the sample in the creation of an end 

product; 

• Samples provided in a QSP project 

shall not be directly used as part of a 

retail promotion or supplied directly to 

consumers. However, the end product, 

that is, the product resulting from 

further processing, substantial 

transformation, or a technical seminar, 

may be provided to end-use consumers 

to demonstrate to importers consumer 

preference for that end product; and 

• Samples shall be in quantities less 

than a typical commercial sale and 

limited to the amount sufficient to 

achieve the project goal (e.g., not more 

than a full commercial mill run in the 

destination country). 

• Projects should be completed 

within one year of CCC approval. 

QSP projects shall target foreign 

importers and audiences who: 

• Have not previously purchased the 

U.S. commodity that will be transported 

under QSP; 

• Are unfamiliar with the variety, 

quality attribute, or end-use 

characteristic of the U.S. commodity; 

• Have been unsuccessful in previous 

attempts to import, process, and market 

the U.S. commodity (e.g., because of 

improper specification, blending, 

formulation, sanitary, or phytosanitary 

issues); 

• Are interested in testing or 

demonstrating the benefits of the U.S. 

commodity; or 

• Need technical assistance in 

processing or using the U.S. commodity. 

B. Award Information 

Under this announcement, the 

number of projects per participant will 

not be limited. However, individual 

projects will be limited to $75,000 of 

QSP reimbursement. Projects comprised 

of technical preparation seminars, that 

is, projects that do not include further 

processing or substantial 

transformation, will be limited to 

$15,000 of QSP reimbursement as these 

projects require smaller samples. 

Financial assistance will be made 

available on a reimbursement basis 

only; cash advances will not be made 

available to any QSP participant. 

All proposals will be reviewed against 

the evaluation criteria contained herein 

and funds will be awarded on a 

competitive basis. Funding for 

successful proposals will be provided 

through specific agreements between 

the applicant and CCC subject to the 

availability of funding. These 

agreements will incorporate the 

proposal as approved by FAS. FAS must 

approve in advance any subsequent 

changes to the project. 

C. Eligibility Information 

1. Eligible Applicants: Any United 

States private or government entity with 

a demonstrated role or interest in 

exporting U.S. agricultural commodities 

may apply to the program. Government 

organizations consist of Federal, State, 

and local agencies. Private organizations 

include non-profit trade associations, 

universities, agricultural cooperatives, 

state regional trade groups, and profitmaking entities. 

2. Cost Sharing: FAS considers the 

applicant’s willingness to contribute 

resources, including cash, goods, and 

services of the U.S. industry and foreign 

third parties, when determining which 

proposals to approve for funding. 

3. 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. 

D. Application and Submission 

Information 

1. Address to Request Application 

Package: Organizations are strongly 

encouraged to submit their QSP

E. Application Review Information 

1. Criteria and Review Process: 

Following is a description of the FAS 

process for reviewing applications and 

the criteria for allocating available QSP 

funds. 

FAS will use the following criteria in 

evaluating proposals: 

• The ability of the organization to 

provide an experienced staff with the 

requisite technical and trade experience 

to execute the proposal; 

• The extent to which the proposal is 

targeted to a market in which the United 

States is generally competitive; 

• The potential for expanding 

commercial sales in the proposed 

market; 

• The nature of the specific market 

constraint or opportunity involved and 

how well it is addressed by the 

proposal; 

• The extent to which the importer’s 

contribution in terms of handling and 

processing enhances the potential 

outcome of the project; 

• The amount of reimbursement 

requested and the organization’s 

willingness to contribute resources, 

including cash, goods and services of 

the U.S. industry, and foreign third 

parties; and 

• How well the proposed technical 

assistance component assures that 

performance trials will effectively 

demonstrate the intended end-use 

benefit. 

Proposals will be evaluated by the 

Commodity Branch offices in the FAS’ 

Cooperator Programs Division. The 

Commodity Branches will review each 

proposal against the factors described 

above. The purpose of this review is to 

identify meritorious proposals, 

recommend an appropriate funding 

level for each proposal based upon these 

factors, and submit proposals and 

funding recommendations to the Deputy 

Administrator, Office of Trade 

Programs. 

2. Anticipated Announcement Date:

foreign-market-development-programfmd. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Funding Opportunity Description 

Announcement Type: New. 

Catalog of Federal Domestic 

Assistance (CFDA) Number: 10.600. 

Authority: The Cooperator program is 

authorized by title VII of the 

Agricultural Trade Act of 1978, as 

amended. Cooperator program 

regulations appear at 7 CFR part 1484. 

Purpose: The Cooperator program is 

designed to create, expand, and 

maintain foreign markets for U.S. 

agricultural commodities and products 

through cost-share assistance. Financial 

assistance under the Cooperator 

program will be made available on a 

competitive basis and applications will 

be reviewed against the evaluation 

criteria contained herein and in the 

Cooperator program regulations. All 

U.S. agricultural commodities, except 

tobacco, are eligible for consideration. 

FAS allocates funds in a manner that 

effectively supports the strategic 

decision-making initiatives of the 

Government Performance and Results 

Act (GPRA) of 1993. In deciding 

whether a proposed project will 

contribute to the effective creation, 

expansion, or maintenance of foreign 

markets, FAS considers whether the 

applicant provides a clear, long-term 

agricultural trade strategy and a program 

effectiveness time line against which 

results can be measured at specific 

intervals using quantifiable product or 

country goals. FAS also considers the 

extent to which a proposed project 

targets markets with the greatest growth 

potential. These factors are part of the 

FAS resource allocation strategy to fund 

applicants who can demonstrate 

performance and address the objectives 

of the GPRA. 

B. Award Information 

Under the Cooperator program, and 

subject to the availability of funding, 

FAS enters into agreements with eligible 

nonprofit U.S. trade organizations to 

share the cost of certain overseas 

marketing and promotion activities. 

Funding priority is given to 

organizations that have the broadest 

possible producer representation of the 

commodity being promoted and that are 

nationwide in membership and scope. 

Cooperators may receive assistance only 

for generic activities that do not involve 

promotions targeted directly to 

consumers. The program generally 

operates on a reimbursement basis. 

C. Eligibility Information 

1. Eligible Applicants: To participate 

in the Cooperator program, an applicant 

must be a nonprofit U.S. agricultural 

trade organization. 

2. Cost Sharing: To participate in the 

Cooperator program, an applicant must 

agree to contribute resources to its 

proposed promotional activities. The 

Cooperator program is intended to 

supplement, not supplant, the efforts of 

the U.S. private sector. The contribution 

must be at least 50 percent of the value 

of resources provided by CCC for 

activities conducted under the project 

agreement. 

The degree of commitment of an 

applicant to the promotional strategies 

contained in its application, as 

represented by the agreed cost-share 

contributions specified therein, is 

considered by FAS when determining 

which applications will be approved for 

funding. Cost-share may be actual cash 

invested or in-kind contributions, such 

as professional staff time spent on 

design and execution of activities. The 

Cooperator program regulations, 

including sections 1484.50 and 1484.51, 

provide detailed discussion of eligible 

and ineligible cost-share contributions. 

3. Other: Applications 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 participating 

organization(s) are unlikely to carry out 

the project without such assistance. 

D. Application and Submission 

Information 

1. Address to Request Application 

Package: Organizations are encouraged 

to submit their FMD applications to the 

FAS through the Unified Export 

Strategy (UES) application Internet Web 

site. The UES allows applicants to 

submit a single consolidated and 

strategically coordinated proposal that 

incorporates requests for funding and 

recommendations for virtually all of the 

FAS marketing programs, financial 

assistance programs, and market access 

programs. The suggested UES format 

encourages applicants to examine the 

constraints or barriers to trade faced, 

identify activities that would help 

overcome such impediments, consider 

the entire pool of complementary 

marketing tools and program resources, 

and establish realistic export goals.
