ACTION: Interim final rule; correction.
SUMMARY: The Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC) published in the
Federal Register of November 20, 2008,
an interim final rule with request for
comment amending the program
regulations for the Agricultural
Management Assistance (AMA) Program
to incorporate programmatic changes
authorized by the Food, Conservation,
and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Act). The
language in the interim final rule
regarding the application of the
payment limitation to joint operations
was incorrect and is inconsistent with
payment attributions specified in the
regulation which governs payment
limitations and eligibility
determinations for CCC-funded
programs. This document corrects that
language.
DATES: This correction is effective on
March 12, 2009.

Fax: (202) 720–4265.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CCC
published an interim final rule in the
Federal Register of November 20, 2008
(73 FR 70245), amending the program
regulations for the AMA found at 7 CFR
part 1465. The language in the interim
final rule regarding the application of
the payment limitation to joint
operations was incorrect. The AMA
interim final rule inadvertently applied
the $50,000 annual payment limitation
to joint operations, by applying the
payment limitation to the term
‘‘participants,’’ which is defined to
include ‘‘joint operations.’’ A joint
operation is composed of members who
may be either persons or legal entities.
As specified under 7 CFR part 1400,
payment limitations are determined on
a pro-rata basis in accordance with the
‘‘interest held by the person or legal
entity in any other legal entity or joint
operation.’’ Based on how joint
PO 00000
Frm 00002

Sfmt 4700
operations are characterized in part
1400.106, the $50,000 annual payment
limit applies to each person or legal
entity that comprises the joint
operation. Within the preamble of 7 CFR
part 1465, the discussion on payment
limitation should apply solely to
persons or legal entities. CCC deletes the
preamble’s references to payment
limitations applying to joint operations.
■ For the reasons stated in the preamble,
the CCC amends part 1465 of Title 7 of
the Code of Federal Regulations as set
forth below:
PART 1465—AGRICULTURAL
MANAGEMENT ASSISTANCE
1. The authority citation for part 1465

Request for Public Input
USDA furthers the Nation’s ability to
increase renewable energy production
and conservation, mitigate the effects
and adapt to climate change, and reduce
net carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions through various assistance
programs.
USDA is increasing renewable energy
production through facilitating the
availability, adoption, and use of wind,
solar, and biofuel energy sources. USDA
encourages renewable energy
production by funding biofuel
technology transfer under Conservation
Innovation Grants and through
facilitating wind and solar power
generation facilities for on-farm use on
conservation lands under the
Conservation Reserve Program and the
Grassland Reserve Program.
Energy conservation is improved
through more efficient equipment and
processes. EQIP fosters energy
conservation on farms and ranches by
promoting efficient water irrigation
systems, no-till, and nutrient
management and promoting renewable
energy production by installing solargenerated electric fences.
The effects of climate change can be
mitigated through improving the
adaptability of ecosystems and
flexibility of agricultural management
systems, including reductions in GHG
emissions. The Wildlife Habitat
Incentive Program improves ecosystem
adaptability by enhancing wildlife
habitat biodiversity, and the
Agricultural Management Assistance
program promotes flexible management
system through integrated pest
management.
Climate change adaptation occurs
through the adoption of alternative
management systems which respond to
changes such as decreasing
precipitation, longer growing seasons,
and increasing vulnerability to pest
damage. USDA conservation programs,
such as the Agricultural Water
Enhancement Program, encourage the
adoption of water conservation systems
and dry land farming.
Net carbon emissions can be reduced
by reducing fossil fuel use or increasing
the land’s carbon storage capacity.
USDA conservation programs, such as
EQIP, assist participants with reducing
fossil fuel use through no-till and other
conservation tillage cropping systems
which require fewer trips over a field
with a tractor. The Wetlands Reserve
Program and Healthy Forests Reserve
Program sequester carbon by
encouraging agricultural land

Frm 00003
Fmt 4700

reforestation. The Conservation
Stewardship Program encourages
practices that improve soil carbon
storage.
While much is underway, USDA has
adopted a proactive strategy to increase
its ability to meet these critical National
needs. Therefore, CCC is using this
rulemaking opportunity to obtain input
from the public on how EQIP can
achieve its program purposes and
further the Nation’s efforts with
renewable energy production, energy
conservation, mitigating the effects of
climate change, facilitating climate
change adaptation, or reducing net
carbon emissions. For further
information on these subjects you may
wish to look at the following Web site:
https://www.koshland-sciencemuseum.org/exhibitgcc/.
For the reasons stated in the preamble,
the CCC amends part 1466 of Title 7 of
the Code of Federal Regulations as set
forth below:
■
PART 1466—ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY INCENTIVES PROGRAM
1. The authority citation for part 1466
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 714b and 714c; 16
U.S.C. 3839aa–3839aa–8.
2. Amend § 1466.24 by revising
paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) to read as
follows:
■
§ 1466.24
EQIP Payments.
(a) Except for contracts entered into
prior to October 1, 2008, or as provided
in paragraph (b) of this section, the total
amount of payments paid to a person or
legal entity under this Part may not
exceed an aggregate of $300,000,
directly or indirectly, for all contracts,
including prior year contracts, entered
into during any 6-year period. For the
purpose of applying this requirement,
the 6-year period will include those
payments made in fiscal years 2009–
2014. Payments received for technical
assistance shall be excluded from this
limitation.
(b) The Chief may waive the $300,000
payment limitation, allowing up to
$450,000 per person or legal entity for
projects of special environmental
significance, as defined in § 1466.21(d).
(c) Payments for conservation
practices related to organic production
to a person or legal entity, directly or
indirectly, may not exceed in aggregate
$20,000 per year or $80,000 during any
6-year period.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Direct Final Rule Procedure
The FAA anticipates that this
regulation will not result in adverse or
negative comments, and, therefore,
issues it as a direct final rule. The FAA
has determined that this rule only
involves an established body of
technical regulations for which frequent
and routine amendments are necessary
to keep them operationally current.
Unless a written adverse or negative
comment or a written notice of intent to
submit an adverse or negative comment
is received within the comment period,
the regulation will become effective on
the date specified above. After the close
of the comment period, the FAA will
publish a document in the Federal
Register indicating that no adverse or
negative comments were received and
confirming the effective date. If the FAA
receives, within the comment period, an
adverse or negative comment, or written
notice of intent to submit such a
comment, a document withdrawing the
PO 00000

direct final rule will be published in the
Federal Register, and a notice of
proposed rulemaking may be published
with a new comment period.
Comments Invited
Although this action is in the form of
a direct final rule, and was not preceded
by a notice of proposed rulemaking,
interested persons are invited to
comment on this rule by submitting
such written data, views, or arguments
as they may desire. The direct final rule
is used in this case to facilitate the
timing of the charting schedule and
enhance the operation at the airport,
while still allowing and requesting
public comment on this rulemaking
action. An electronic copy of this
document may be downloaded from and
comments submitted through https://
www.regulations.gov. Communications
should identify both docket numbers
and be submitted in triplicate to the
address specified under the caption
ADDRESSES above or through the
website. All communications received
on or before the closing date for
comments will be considered, and this
rule may be amended or withdrawn in
light of the comments received.
Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through
the FAA’s web page at https://
www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/

airspace_amendments/.
Comments are specifically invited on
the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of
the rule that might suggest a need to
modify the rule. Factual information
that supports the commenter’s ideas and
suggestions is extremely helpful in
evaluating the effectiveness of this
action and determining whether
additional rulemaking action would be
needed. All comments submitted will be
available, both before and after the
closing date for comments, in the Rules
Docket for examination by interested
persons. Those wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments
submitted in response to this rule must
