Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 217 / Thursday, November 12, 2009 / Notices
The ESA
requires that the Secretary of Commerce
develop and implement recovery plans
for the conservation and survival of
threatened and endangered species.
Recovery is defined as an ‘‘improvement
in the status of listed species to the
point at which listing is no longer
appropriate’’ (50 CFR 402.02). Recovery
plans provide blueprints to determine
priority recovery actions for funding
and implementation. The ESA specifies
that recovery plans must, to the
maximum extent practicable,
incorporate into each plan: (1) a
description of site-specific management
actions that may be necessary to achieve
the plan’s goals for the conservation and
survival of the species; (2) objective,
measurable criteria which, when met,
would result in the species being
removed from the list of threatened and
endangered species; and (3) estimates of
the time required and costs to achieve
the plan’s goal and to achieve
intermediate steps toward that goal.
NMFS has also developed interim
recovery planning guidance that
provides additional information to
ensure consistency among recovery
plans developed for all species managed
by NMFS. This guidance emphasizes
the importance of stakeholder
involvement throughout the recovery
planning process. In developing the
draft recovery plan for the sDPS green
sturgeon, NMFS will consider all of the
information received in response to this
notice and solicitation. In addition,
NMFS will publish the draft recovery
plan in the Federal Register for public
comment.
NMFS requests relevant information
from the public that should be
addressed during preparation of the
draft recovery plan for the threatened
sDPS green sturgeon. Such information
should address: (a) biological and other
criteria for removing the species from
the list of threatened and endangered
species; (b) factors that are presently
limiting or threaten to limit the survival
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
and conservation of the sDPS green
sturgeon; (c) actions to address these
limiting factors and threats; (d)
estimates of the time and cost to
implement recovery actions; and (e)
research, monitoring, and evaluation
needs.
NMFS understands that stakeholder
participation in the recovery planning
process is critical to the success of
implementing the recovery plan. As
such, NMFS requests that stakeholders
identify themselves in order to receive
notices of upcoming meetings and to
receive draft documents to provide
comments. For those receiving this
notice, please forward to those that may
be either interested in participating
directly or may have knowledge to lend
that would benefit the plan, and thus
green sturgeon.

AGENCY: Minority Business

ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: The Minority Business
Development Agency (MBDA) publishes
this notice to allow for a funded
extension of up to 12 months, on a noncompetitive basis, of the award periods
for those Minority Business Enterprise
Centers (MBECs) identified in this
notice. This action is necessary to allow
continued program delivery by the
incumbent MBEC operators while
MBDA completes an evaluation of the
MBEC Program and the solicitation and
award processes for the next funding
cycle.
DATES: The extension and related
funding, if approved by the Department
of Commerce Grants Officer, will
commence at the end of the current
award period and will continue for a
period not to exceed 12 months.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Efrain Gonzalez, Chief, Office of
Business Development, Minority
Business Development Agency, 1401

Pursuant
to Executive Order 11625, the MBEC
Program provides standardized business
assistance and development services
directly to eligible minority-owned
businesses. The MBEC Program is a key
component of MBDA’s overall business
development assistance program; it
promotes the growth and
competitiveness of minority business
enterprises, and further incorporates an
entrepreneurial approach to the delivery
of client services. This strategy expands
the reach and service delivery of the
MBEC Program by requiring project
operators to develop and build upon
strategic alliances with public and
private sector partners as a means of
serving eligible businesses within each
MBEC’s applicable geographical service
area.
MBDA amends its prior competitive
solicitations under the MBEC Program,
as referenced in the below table, to
allow for a funded extension of up to 12
months, on a non-competitive basis, of
the award period for the following
MBEC projects:

MBDA takes this action to allow for
continued program delivery by the
incumbent MBEC operators while
MBDA completes its evaluation of the
MBEC Program and of the competitive
solicitation and award processes for the
next funding cycle.
The award extension and additional
funding referenced herein will be made
at the sole discretion of MBDA and the
Department of Commerce using the
following evaluation criteria: (1) The
MBEC’s program performance rating
during the current program period; (2)
the availability of appropriated funds;
and (3) MBDA and Department of
Commerce’s priorities. MBDA will
review each MBEC project’s
performance rating as evaluated through
the standardized performance reports
and assessments required under the
MBEC Program in determining which
projects will be offered an extension.
Although MBDA is allowing for an
extension of the award period for
projects awarded under the MBEC
Program, it is possible that not all
projects will be offered an extension.

Funding for award extensions is
contingent upon the availability of

In no event will MBDA or the

current award period by the incumbent
operators of the MBEC projects affected
by this notice if the MBEC Program fails
to receive funding or if an award
extension is not made because of other
MBDA or Department of Commerce

announcement does not oblige MBDA or

any extensions or to obligate any

MBDA takes this action to allow for continued program delivery by
the incumbent MBEC operators while MBDA completes its evaluation of the
MBEC Program and of the competitive solicitation and award processes
for the next funding cycle.
The award extension and additional funding referenced herein will
be made at the sole discretion of MBDA and the Department of Commerce
using the following evaluation criteria: (1) The MBEC's program
performance rating during the current program period; (2) the
availability of appropriated funds; and (3) MBDA and Department of
Commerce's priorities. MBDA will review each MBEC project's performance
rating as evaluated through the standardized performance reports and
assessments required under the MBEC Program in determining which
projects will be offered an extension. Although MBDA is allowing for an
extension of the award period for projects awarded under the MBEC
Program, it is possible that not all projects will be offered an
extension.
Funding for award extensions is contingent upon the availability of
Fiscal Year 2010 appropriations, which have not yet been appropriated
for the MBEC program. MBDA therefore issues this notice subject to the
appropriations made available under the current continuing resolution,

notice if the MBEC Program fails to receive funding or if an award
extension is not made because of other MBDA or Department of Commerce
priorities. Publication of this announcement does not oblige MBDA or
the Department of Commerce to award any extensions or to obligate any
available funds.

by the Administrative Procedure Act for rules concerning public
property, loans, grants, benefits, and contracts. 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(2).
Because notice and opportunity for comment are not required pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 553 or any other law, the analytical requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., are inapplicable.
Therefore, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required and has
not been prepared.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1512 and Executive Order 11625.
