SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Discussion of

Extension of Application Deadline

RBS published a Notice of Funding

Availability (NOFA) on March 6, 2001,

at 66 FR 13490 with application

deadlines of April 23, 2001, (first round)

and June 27, 2001, (second round).

Because of a variety of reasons, it took

longer than expected to select grant

recipients from the first round. As a

result, RBS is extending the deadline of

the second round to allow first round

applicants sufficient time to revise their

applications if they wish to do so. Upon

reviewing the applications received,

RBS has determined that the NOFA was

ambiguous regarding the definition of

independent producers which is used to

determine applicant eligibility.

Applicants interpreted this provision in

different ways.

To clarify this issue, applicants are

hereby advised that independent

producers are the producers of raw

agricultural products including those

products form aquaculture, fish

harvesting, and wood lot enterprises.

Independent producers can be an

individual producer, an association of

producers such as a cooperative or LLC

or a producer-owned corporation. If the

applicant is an association of producers

or a producer-owned corporation, it

must be 100 percent producer owned

and controlled. Controlled is defined as

have voting rights in conducting the

affairs of the association or corporation.

There cannot be any non-producer

owners. Independent producers also

may not produce the agricultural

produce under contract or joint

ownership with any organization other

than their own.

To ensure that all applicants are

treated fairly, applicants who submitted

an application under the notice

published March 6, 2001, will be

provided with a copy of this Notice.

Applicants who wish to adjust their

applications based on this additional

must resubmit their application by the

extension deadline published in this

Notice. Finally, this extension will

allow all eligible entities additional time

to submit their application.

Dated: June 26, 2001.
