Notice of Funds Availability: Inviting 

Applications for the Emerging Markets 

Program 

Announcement Type: New. 

(Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance 

(CFDA) Number: 10.603.) 

SUMMARY: The Commodity Credit 

Corporation (CCC) announces the 

availability of funding for the Emerging 

Markets Program (EMP) for fiscal year 

(FY) 2008. The intended effect of this 

notice is to solicit applications from the 

private sector and from government 

agencies for FY 2008 and award funds 

in early 2008. The EMP is administered 

by personnel of the Foreign Agricultural 

Service (FAS). 

DATES: All proposals must be received 

by 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time 

February 25, 2008. Applications 

received after this time will not be 

considered. 

Note: Another notice regarding the 

availability of FY 2009 EMP funds will be 

published later this year. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Entities wishing to apply for funding 

should contact the Grants Management 

Branch, Foreign Agricultural Service, 

Portals Office Building, Suite 400, 1250 

Maryland Avenue, SW., Washington, 

DC 20024, phone: (202) 720–5306, fax: 

(202) 690–0193, e-mail: 

emo@fas.usda.gov. Information is also 

available on the Foreign Agricultural 

Service Web site at http:// 

www.fas.usda.gov/mos/em-markets/emmarkets.asp. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Funding Opportunity Description 

Authority: The EMP is authorized by 

section 1542(d)(1) of the Food, Agriculture, 

Conservation and Trade Act of 1990 (The 

Act), as amended. The EMP regulations 

appear at 7 CFR part 1486. 

1. Purpose: The EMP assists U.S. 

entities in developing, maintaining, or 

expanding exports of U.S. agricultural 

commodities and products by funding 

technical assistance activities that 

promote U.S. products in emerging 

foreign markets. The Program is 

intended primarily to support export 

market development efforts of the 

private sector, but program resources 

may also be used to assist public 

organizations. 

All U.S. agricultural commodities and 

products, except tobacco, are eligible for 

consideration. Agricultural product(s) 

should be comprised of at least 50 

percent U.S. origin content by weight, 

exclusive of added water, to be eligible 

for funding. Proposals which seek 

support for multiple commodities are 

also eligible. EMP funding may only be 

used to support exports of U.S. 

agricultural commodities and products 

through generic activities. 

2. Appropriate Activities: Following 

are the types of project activities that 

may be considered for funding under 

the EMP: 

—Projects designed specifically to 

improve market access in emerging 

foreign markets. Example: Activities 

intended to mitigate the impact of 

political or economic events in order 

to maintain U.S. market share; 

—Marketing and distribution of valueadded products. Examples: Market 

research on the potential for 

consumer-ready foods; new uses of a 

product; 

—Studies of food distribution channels 

in emerging markets, including 

infrastructural impediments to U.S. 

exports. Examples: Grain storage 

handling and inventory systems; 

distribution infrastructure 

development; 

—Projects that specifically address 

various constraints to U.S. exports, 

including sanitary and phytosanitary 

issues and other non-tariff barriers. 

Examples: Seminars on U.S. food 

safety standards and regulations; 

assessing and addressing pest and 

disease problems that inhibit U.S. 

exports; 

—Assessments and follow up activities 

designed to improve country-wide 

food and business systems, and to 

determine potential use of general 

export credit guarantees. Example: 

Product needs assessments and 

market analysis; 

—Projects that help foreign governments 

collect and use market information 

and develop free trade policies that 

benefit U.S. exporters as well as the 

target country or countries. Examples: 

Agricultural statistical analysis; 

development of market information 

systems; and 

—Short-term training in broad aspects 

of agriculture and agribusiness trade 

that will benefit U.S. exporters. 

Examples: Retail training; 

transportation and distribution 

seminars. 

EMP funds may not be used to 

support normal operating costs of 

individual organizations, nor as a source 

to recover pre-award costs or prior 

expenses from previous or ongoing 

projects. Proposals that counter national 

strategies or duplicate activities planned 

or already underway by U.S. non-profit 

agricultural commodity or trade 

associations (‘‘cooperator’’) 

organizations will not be considered. 

Ineligible expenditures include branded 

product promotions (in-store, restaurant 

advertising, labeling, etc.); advertising; 

administrative and operational expenses 

for trade shows; Web site development; 

equipment purchases; and the 

preparation and printing of brochures, 

flyers, posters (except in connection 

with specific technical assistance 

activities such as training seminars). For 

a more complete description of 

ineligible activities, please refer to the 

EMP Regulations. 

3. Eligible Markets: The Act defines 

an emerging market as any country that 

the Secretary of Agriculture determines: 

(a) Is taking steps toward developing 

a market-oriented economy through the 

food, agriculture, or rural business 

sectors of the economy of the country; 

and 

(b) Has the potential to provide a 

viable and significant market for United 

States agricultural commodities or 

products of United States agricultural 

commodities. 

Because EMP funds are limited and 

the range of potential emerging market 

countries is worldwide, consideration 

will be given to proposals that target 

countries or regional groups with per 

capita income of less than $11,115 (the 

current ceiling on upper middle income 

economies as determined by the World 

Bank [World Development Indicators; 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 16 / Thursday, January 24, 2008 / Notices 4173 

July 2007, http:// 

siteresources.worldbank.org/ 

DATASTATISTICS/Resources/ 

CLASS.XLS]) and populations of greater 

than 1 million. 

Income limits and their calculation 

can change from year to year with the 

result that a given country may qualify 

under the legislative and administrative 

criteria one year but not the next. 

Therefore, CCC has not established a 

fixed list of ‘‘emerging market’’

countries. 

A few countries technically qualify as 

emerging markets but may require a 

separate determination before funding 

can be considered because of political 

sensitivities. 

II. Award Information 

In general, all qualified proposals 

received before the application deadline 

will compete for EMP funding. Priority 

consideration will be given to proposals 

that identify and seek to address 

specific problems or constraints to 

agricultural exports in emerging markets 

through technical assistance activities 

that are intended to expand or maintain 

U.S. agricultural exports. The 

applicants’ willingness to contribute 

resources, including cash, goods and 

services will be a critical factor in 

determining which proposals are 

funded under the EMP. Proposals will 

also be judged on the potential benefits 

to the industry represented by the 

applicant and the degree to which the 

proposal demonstrates industry support. 

The limited funds and the range of 

eligible emerging markets worldwide 

generally preclude CCC from approving 

large budgets for individual projects. 

While there is no minimum or 

maximum amount set for EMP-funded 

projects, most projects are funded at a 

level of less than $500,000 and for a 

duration of approximately one year. 

Private entities may submit multi-year 

proposals requesting higher levels of 

funding that may be considered in the 

context of a detailed strategic 

implementation plan. Funding in such 

cases is normally provided one year at 

a time with commitments beyond the 

first year subject to interim evaluations 

and funding availability. Government 

entities are not eligible for multi-year 

funding. 

Funding for successful proposals will 

be provided through specific 

agreements. The CCC, through FAS, will 

be kept informed of the implementation 

of approved projects through the 

requirement to provide regular progress 

reports and final performance reports. 

Changes in the original project timelines 

and adjustments within project budgets 

must be approved by FAS. EMP funds 

awarded to federal government agencies 

must be expended or otherwise 

obligated by COB September 30, 2008. 

III. Eligibility and Qualification 

Information 

1. Eligible Applicants. Any United 

States private or government entity with 

a demonstrated role or interest in 

exports of U.S. agricultural commodities 

or products may apply to the program. 

Government entities consist of Federal, 

State, and local agencies. Private entities 

include non-profit trade associations, 

universities, agricultural cooperatives, 

state regional trade groups, and profitmaking entities and consulting 

businesses. Proposals from research and 

consulting organizations will be 

considered if they provide evidence of 

substantial participation and financial 

support from the U.S. industry. Forprofit entities are also eligible but may 

not use program funds to conduct 

private business, promote private selfinterests, supplement the costs of 

normal sales activities, or promote their 

own products or services beyond 

specific uses approved by CCC in a 

given project. 

U.S. market development cooperators 

and state regional trade groups (SRTGs) 

may seek funding to address priority, 

market specific issues and to undertake 

activities not suitable for funding under 

other marketing programs, e.g., the 

Foreign Market Development 

(Cooperator) Program and the Market 

Access Program (MAP). Foreign 

organizations, whether government or 

private, may participate as third parties 

in activities carried out by U.S. 

organizations, but are not eligible for 

funding assistance from the program. 

2. Cost Sharing. No private sector 

proposal will be considered without the 

element of cost-share from the applicant 

and/or U.S. partners. The EMP is 

intended to complement, not supplant, 

the efforts of the U.S. private sector. 

There is no minimum or maximum 

amount of cost share, though the range 

in recent successful proposals has been 

between 35 and 75 percent. The degree 

of commitment to a proposed project, 

represented by the amount and type of 

private funding, is used in determining 

which proposals will be approved for 

funding. Cost-share may be actual cash 

invested or professional time of staff 

assigned to the project. Proposals for 

which private industry is willing to 

commit cash, rather than in-kind 

contributions such as staff resources, 

will be given priority consideration. 

Cost-sharing is not required for 

proposals from U.S. federal, state or 

local government agencies, but is 

mandatory for all other eligible entities, 

even when they may be party to a joint 

proposal with a U.S. government 

agency. Contributions from USDA or 

other U.S. government agencies or 

programs may not be counted toward 

the stated cost share requirement. 

Similarly, contributions from foreign 

(non-U.S.) organizations may not be 

counted toward the cost share 

requirement, but may be counted in the 

total cost of the project. 

3. Other. 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. 

IV. Application and Submission 

Information 

1. Address To Request Package. EMP 

applicants may use the Unified Export 

Strategy (UES) application process, an 

online system which allows interested 

applicants to submit a consolidated and 

strategically coordinated single proposal 

that incorporates funding requests for 

any or all of the market development 

programs administered by FAS. 

Applicants are not required to use the 

UES, but are strongly encouraged to do 

so because it reduces paperwork and 

expedites the FAS processing and 

review cycle. Applicants planning to 

use the online UES system must contact 

the Program Policy Staff at (202) 720–

4327 to obtain site access information 

including a user id and password. The 

Internet-based application, including 

step-by-step instructions for its use, is 

located at the following URL address:

unreasonable expenditures or 

expenditures made prior to approval of 

a proposal. Full details of the funding 

restrictions are available in the EMP 

regulations. 

V. Application Review Information 

1. Criteria. Key criteria used in 

judging proposals include: 

—Appropriateness of the activities for 

the targeted market(s) and the extent 

to which the project identifies market 

barriers, e.g., a fundamental 

deficiency in the market, and/or a 

recent change in market conditions; 

—Potential of the project to expand U.S. 

market share, increase U.S. exports or 

sales, and/or improve awareness of 

U.S. agricultural commodities and 

products; 

—Quality of the project’s performance 

measures and the degree to which 

they relate to the objectives, 

deliverables, and proposed approach 

and activities; 

—Justification for federal funding; 

—Overall cost of the project and the 

amount of funding provided by the 

applicant and any partners; and 

—Evidence that the organization has the 

knowledge, expertise, ability, and 

resources to successfully implement 

the project. 

Additional evaluation criteria are 

discussed in the EMP regulations. 

2. Review and Selection Process. All 

applications undergo a multi-phase 

review within FAS, including 

appropriate FAS overseas offices, and 

by the private sector Advisory 

Committee on Emerging Markets to 

determine the qualifications, quality 

and appropriateness of projects, and 

reasonableness of project budgets. 

3. Anticipated Announcement Date. 

EMP funding decisions will be 

announced in the spring of 2008. 

VI. Award Administration Information 

1. Award Notices. FAS will notify 

each applicant in writing of the final 

disposition of its application. FAS will 

send an approval letter and project 

agreement to each approved applicant. 

The approval letter and agreement will 

specify the terms and conditions 

applicable to the project, including the 

level of EMP funding and cost-share 

contribution requirements. 

2. Administrative and National Policy 

Requirements. Interested parties should

The treatment is intended to move the 

West Bear landscape towards properly 

functioning condition (PFC). 

DATES: Scoping will not be conducted in 

accordance with 40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4). 

The draft supplemental environmental 

impact statement is expected in 

February 2008 and the final 

supplemental environmental impact 

statement and a new Record of Decision 

are expected in April 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Action 

On March 5, 2007, Forest Supervisor 

Faye Krueger made a decision to 

implement the West Bear Vegetation 

Treatment Project to treat approximately 

1,686 acres. The project consists of 

harvesting 1,489 acres, prescribed 

burning 523 acres of aspen and mixed 

aspen/conifer, construction of 7.8 miles 

of temporary roads, 0.9 miles of 

intermittent service roads and minor 

reconstruction of 0.6 miles of existing 

service roads. The Record of Decision 

was appealed by two parties. On May 

25, 2007, upon review, Forest 

Supervisor Krueger withdrew her March 

5, 2007 decision. Her decision to 

withdraw was based on an error 

identified in the FEIS by an appellant 

and her finding that further 

environmental analysis was needed in 

regard to some species of the wildlife. 

The SEIS will be limited in its scope 

and focus on correction of the soils 

disclosure in FEIS, and additional 

effects disclosure for some species of 

wildlife. Clarification of goshawk 

territories will also be addressed.

spring lock washers (‘‘HSLWs’’) from 

the People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’) 

covering the period October 1, 2005, 

through September 30, 2006. We invited 

interested parties to comment on our 

preliminary results. Based on our 

analysis of the comments received, we 

have made changes to our margin 

calculations. Therefore, the final results 

differ from the preliminary results. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 24, 2008.

0650, respectively. 

Background 

On September 12, 2007, the 

Department of Commerce (‘‘the 

Department’’) published Certain Helical 

Spring Lock Washers From the People’s 

Republic of China: Preliminary Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, 72 FR 52073 (‘‘Preliminary 

Results’’). The respondent in this case is 

Hangzhou Spring Washer Co., Ltd. (also 

known as Zhejiang Wanxin Group, Ltd.) 

(‘‘HSW’’). Shakeproof Assembly 

Components Division of Illinois Tool 

Works, Inc. (‘‘Shakeproof’’), the U.S. 

interested party, filed surrogate value 

information and data on April 19, 2007, 

August 3, 2007, and October 12, 2007. 

HSW filed surrogate value information 

and data on April 19, 2007, May 29, 

2007, and July 24, 2007. We gave 

interested parties an opportunity to 

comment on the Preliminary Results. 

Shakeproof requested a one-month 

extension of the deadline for filing case 

and rebuttal briefs on September 28, 

2007. On October 2, 2007, we granted a 

one-day extension of the deadline for 

filing case and rebuttal briefs. On 

October 16, 2007, HSW filed its case 

brief. Shakeproof submitted the final 

proprietary version of its brief on 

October 17, 2007. HSW submitted the 

final proprietary version of its rebuttal 

brief on October 23, 2007. Shakeproof 

did not submit a rebuttal brief. 

We have conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (‘‘the Act’’), and 19 

CFR 351.213. 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

HSLWs of carbon steel, of carbon alloy 

steel, or of stainless steel, heat-treated or 

non-heat-treated, plated or non-plated, 

with ends that are off-line. HSLWs are 

designed to: (1) Function as a spring to 

compensate for developed looseness 

between the component parts of a 

fastened assembly; (2) distribute the 

load over a larger area for screws or 

bolts; and (3) provide a hardened 

bearing surface. The scope does not 

include internal or external tooth 

washers, nor does it include spring lock 

washers made of other metals, such as 

copper. 

HSLWs subject to the order are 

currently classifiable under subheading 

7318.21.0030 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of this 

proceeding is dispositive.
