SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: USAID is 

establishing a new system of records 

pursuant to the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 

552a), entitled the Deployment Tracking 

System (DTS). This system is being 

established to support USAID’s 

responsibilities as identified in National 

Security Presidential Directive 44 

(NSPD–44), issued on December 7, 

2005. 

The objective of NSPD–44 is to 

promote the security of the United 

States through improved coordination, 

planning and implementation for 

reconstruction and stabilization 

assistance for foreign states and regions 

at risk of, in, or in transition from 

conflict or civil strife. NSPD–44 

mandates the Department of State to 

coordinate, plan and implement an 

interagency effort, with the capacity to 

quickly and effectively respond to a 

crisis overseas. To accomplish this, the 

Department of State established the 

Civilian Response Corps (CRC). Led by 

the Department of State, CRC is 

comprised of eight agency partners, 

including USAID, whose programs and 

personnel may have relevant 

capabilities to prepare, plan for, and 

conduct stabilization and reconstruction 

activities. 

USAID’s Bureau for Democracy, 

Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance, 

Office of Civilian Response (DCHA/ 

OCR) has been assigned to implement 

these mandates. In order to participate 

as a partner agency, USAID must have 

mechanisms in place to assign or 

employ skilled personnel and have the 

ability to mobilize resources rapidly in 

response to stabilization crisis. The DTS 

is being established to provide DCHA/ 

OCR personnel with internal 

capabilities to plan and mobilize the 

appropriate personnel in response to a 

crisis. The system will be used to 

identify potential, current and former 

civilian employees and contractors 

skilled in crisis response, to ensure a 

coordinated U.S. response to 

international reconstruction and 

stabilization efforts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose 

The purpose of the Center is to 

increase access to healthy affordable 

foods to underserved communities. The 

Center will also collect, develop, and 

provide technical assistance and 

information to small and medium-sized 

agricultural producers, food wholesalers 

and retailers, schools, and other 

individuals and entities regarding best 

practices and the availability of 

assistance for aggregating, storing, 

processing, and marketing locally 

produced agricultural products and 

increasing the availability of such 

products in underserved communities. 

Through a grant to a non-profit entity, 

sub-grants will be used to carry out 

feasibility studies to establish 

businesses to increase access to healthy 

affordable foods, including locally 

produced agricultural products, to 

underserved communities and establish 

and otherwise assist enterprises that 

process, distribute, aggregate, store, and 

market healthy affordable foods. 

Sub-grants will be awarded to 

nonprofit organizations; cooperatives, 

commercial entities, agricultural 

producers, academic institutions, 

individuals and other entities as the 

Secretary of Agriculture may designate. 

In FY 2009, it is anticipated that one 

million dollars in funding will be 

available and priority will be given to 

applications that: 

1. Benefit underserved communities 

(as defined by 7 U.S.C. § 2034); and 

2. Develop market opportunities for 

small and mid-sized farm and ranch 

operations.
