2009 (FY09) to the University of Florida
for the support of the Seafood Hazard
Analysis and Critical Control Points
(HACCP) Alliance for Education and

This FOA issued by the Office of Food
Safety is soliciting a sole source grant
application from University of Florida
that proposes to provide funding in
support of the Seafood HACCP Alliance
for Education and Training. The
Seafood HACCP Alliance remains the
primary training and educational
program supporting both regulatory and
commercial governance of seafood and
aquaculture product safety in the U.S.A.
FDA actively participates with the
Alliance and values their educational
programs, which are essential and
consistent with the prevailing federal
mandates for HACCP education and
training for commercial interests and
inspectors in state and federal agencies.
Our funds will provide partial support,
periodic clerical assistance, and
personnel travel to national and
international events and committee
meetings. These are pertinent to the
Alliance Steering Committee objectives:

and educational programs,

equipment for communications and
production of educational materials,
and possible part-time student labor for
temporary assignments.
B. Research Objectives
The Seafood HACCP Alliance remains
the primary training and educational
program supporting both regulatory and
commercial governance of seafood and
aquaculture product safety in the U.S.A.
Leadership for the Alliance has been
anchored in the Florida Sea Grant
College Program based at the University
of Florida since its beginning in 1994.
The Alliance continues to function
under the structure of a formal Steering
Committee, which is built on a
backbone of cooperative extension
services aligned with representation
from every pertinent federal agency, i.e.,
the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
FDA, and the U.S. Department of
Commerce, and the leading national
seafood trade associations, i.e., National
Fisheries Institute and the National
Food Processors Association (recently
changed to the Seafood Processors
Association). This is a large, complex,
and multifaceted effort that involves
every pertinent state regulatory agency
in the nation with protocols established
through the Association of Food & Drug
Officials (AFDO) and the six regional
AFDO affiliates. The protocols include
standards for approving training
materials, trainers, and courses, and
procedures for certifications and records
for course graduates and evaluations.
This organizational structure has
involved every state in the nation and
every cooperative extension program in
the respective state universities. The
Alliance is well recognized across the
nation and about the world, and their
educational services are expected. This
network remains experienced and
poised for continuing services.
In addition, FDA will support the
general management of the Seafood
HACCP Alliance as positioned in the
Florida Sea Grant College Program at the
University of Florida. The activities
associated with Alliance Steering
Committee objectives are multifaceted
and involve numerous individuals
about the nation working through the
wide variety of programs. These
working arrangements have been in
operation and productive for well over
10 years.
This cooperative agreement will
enable the University of Florida to
continue and strengthen the valued
utility and proven impacts of the
existing Seafood HACCP Alliance for
Education and Training through
updates, additions, and new programs
that address the changes in seafood
E:\FR\FM\03AUN1.SGM
03AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 147 / Monday, August 3, 2009 / Notices
safety risks, regulations, and commerce
that have occurred through the past
decade. These changes are particularly
necessary to address the emerging
concerns for imported products and
new regulatory guidance anticipated in
early 2009.
C. Eligibility Information
Competition is limited to the
University of Florida. FDA believes that
continued support of Seafood HACCP
Alliance for Education and Training is
appropriate because the University of
Florida is uniquely qualified to fulfill
the objectives of the proposed
cooperative agreement.
II. Award Information/Funds Available
A. Award Amount
The estimated amount of funds
available for support in FY09 will be for
up to $115,000 total costs (direct plus
indirect costs), with the possibility of 4
additional years of support for up to
$460,000, subject to the availability of
funds. Future year amounts will depend
on annual appropriations and successful
performance.
sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES
B. Length of Support
The award will provide 1 year of
support and include future
recommended support for 4 additional
years, contingent upon satisfactory
performance in the achievement of
project and program reporting objectives
during the preceding year and the
availability of Federal FY
appropriations.
