DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

National Institute of Food and 

Agriculture 

Notice of Intent To Change the 

Submission Requirements of a 

Currently Approved Information 

Collection 

AGENCY: National Institute of Food and 

Agriculture, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) regulations, this notice 

announces the National Institute of 

Food and Agriculture’s (NIFA) intention 

to revise a currently approved 

information collection entitled, 

‘‘Reporting Requirements for State Plans 

of Work for Agricultural Research and 

Extension Formula Funds.’’ 

DATES: Written comments on this notice 

must be received by December 31, 2013 

to be assured of consideration. 

Comments received after this date will 

be considered to the extent practicable. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods: Email:

line of the message. rmartin@

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Reporting Requirements for 

State Plans of Work for Agricultural 

Research and Extension Formula Grants. 

OMB Number: 0524–0036. 

Expiration Date of Current Approval: 

August 31, 2016. 

Type of Request: Notice of intent to 

change the submission requirements for 

a currently approved information 

collection. The burden for this 

submission remains unchanged. 

Authority: Pub. L. 104–13 and 5 CFR part 

1320 (60 FR 44977, August 29, 1985). 

Abstract: This notice changes the 

requirement for institutions within a 

state to submit individual Plans of Work 

and Annual Reports of 

Accomplishments; and now will require 

states to submit the Plans of Work and 

Annual Reports of Accomplishments as 

a single integrated State-wide 

submission. In a memorandum dated 

November 8, 2012, Dr. Sonny 

Ramaswamy, NIFA Director, stated 

NIFA’s intent to implement this policy 

change, in accordance with the 

Agriculture, Research, Extension, and 

Education Reform Act of 1998 

(AREERA), beginning with the FY 2015– 

2019 Plan of Work Update, due April 1, 

2014, to require that all Plans of Work 

be submitted at the ‘‘state level’’. NIFA 

defines ‘‘state level’’ as the combining of 

all 1862 and 1890 Land-Grant 

University and State Research and 

Extension entities within the same State 

or Insular Area. Full integration of 

Research and Extension entities in a 

State enables full demonstration of 

effective partnership and leveraging in 

the use of the federal grant dollars 

subject to the Plan of Work. 

The intent is to replace section II.A.1. 

of the Guidelines for State Plans of 

Work for Agricultural Research and 

Extension Formula Funds published in 

the Federal Register (71 FR 4101, 25 

January 2006)) with the following text: 

II. Submission of the 5-Year Plan of 

Work 

A. General 

1. Planning Option 

This document provides guidance for 

preparing the Plan of Work (POW) with 

preservation of programmatic flexibility 

within the Federal-State Partnership. 

The POW is a 5-year prospective plan 

that covers the initial period of FY 2007 

through FY 2011, with the submission 

of annual updates to the 5-Year POW to 

add an additional year to the plan each 

year. The 5-Year POWs must be 

prepared for state-wide activities, which 

include research and extension 

activities for all the eligible institutions 

in a State. Each 5-Year POW must 

reflect the content of the program(s) 

funded by Federal agricultural research 

and extension formula funds and the 

required matching funds. This 5-Year 

POW must describe how the program(s) 

address critical short-term, 

intermediate, and long-term agricultural 

issues in a State. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed change to the 

guidelines is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

and (b) whether the proposed change to 

the guidelines will present undue 

burden on the respondents. All 

responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

to OMB for approval. All comments will 

become a matter of public record. 

Obtaining a Copy of the Information 

Collection: A copy of the information 

collection and related instructions may 

be obtained free of charge by contacting 

Robert Martin as directed above. 

Done in Washington, DC, this 18th day of 

October 2013.

Under Secretary, Research, Education, and 

Economics.

10:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. CST. 

PLACE: Radisson Hotel & Conference 

Center, Banquet Room 5, 200 S. Bell 

School Road, Rockford, IL 61108. 

STATUS: Open to the public. 

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The 

Chemical Safety and Hazard 

Investigation Board (CSB) will convene 

a public meeting on November 14, 2013, 

starting at 10:30 a.m., CST at the 

Radisson Hotel and Conference Center, 

Banquet Room 5, 200 S. Bell School

vote on the draft case study of the 

December 7, 2009, accident at NDK 

Crystal, Inc., in Belvidere, Illinois, and 

possibly other items at the discretion of 

the Chair. 

The CSB’s case study examines the 

violent rupture of a 50-foot pressure

crystals. The vessel, located in an 

enclosed building, generated several 

projectiles during the explosion that 

resulted in one fatality and one injury 

to members of the public, and

significant property damage to NDK 

Crystal and to an adjacent business. 

At the meeting, CSB staff will present 

to the Board the results of the 

investigation into this incident. Key 

issues identified in the investigation 

include pressure vessel design and 

material selection requirements, 

learning from previous incidents, and 

routine and thorough inspections of 

equipment. Following the staff 

presentation on proposed findings and 

safety recommendations, the Board will 

hear brief comments from the public. 

Following the conclusion of the 

public comment period, the Board will 

consider whether to approve the final 

case study and recommendations. All 

staff presentations are preliminary and 

are intended solely to allow the Board 

to consider in a public forum the issues 

and factors involved in this case. No 

factual analyses, conclusions, or 

findings presented by staff should be 

considered final. 

Only after the Board has considered 

the staff presentations, listened to 

public comments, and adopted a final 

investigation report and 

recommendations will there be an 

approved final record of the CSB 

investigation of this incident. 

Additional Information 

The meeting is free and open to the 

public. If you require a translator or 

interpreter, please notify the individual 

listed below as the ‘‘Contact Person for 

Further Information,’’ at least five

agency charged with investigating 

accidents and hazards that result, or 

may result, in the catastrophic release of 

extremely hazardous substances. The 

agency’s Board Members are appointed 

by the President and confirmed by the 

Senate. CSB investigations look into all 

aspects of chemical accidents and 

hazards, including physical causes such 

as equipment failure as well as 

inadequacies in regulations, industry 

standards, and safety management 

systems.
