Conservation Program Grants
National Ocean Service (NOS),
National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), Department of
Commerce.

AGENCY:
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, National
Ocean Service publishes this notice to
announce that for those grants issued in
fiscal year 2007 that are due to expire
on September 30, 2010, NOAA may
extend the financial assistance award
period for up to six additional months,
providing for a potential maximum
award duration of three years and six
months.
SUMMARY:
The provisions in this notice are
implemented as of September 15, 2010.
Award recipients who wish to avail
themselves of the extension to the
award period should contact their
Program Officer by September 30, 2010

DATES:
The
Coastal and Estuarine Land
Conservation Program was established
pursuant to Public Law 107–77 for the
purpose of protecting important coastal
and estuarine areas that have significant
conservation, recreation, ecological,
historical, or aesthetic values, or that are
threatened by conversion from their
natural or recreational state to other
uses. In accordance with Public Law
107–77, CELCP published in the
Federal Register on June 17, 2003 (68
FR 35860) program guidelines
delineating the criteria for grant awards.
The Final Guidelines for the Coastal and
Estuarine Land Conservation Program
(CELCP) outline a planning process for
states to identify the conservation needs
and priorities within each state; provide
the information necessary for eligible
coastal states to develop land
conservation plans and nominate
projects to a national competitive
selection process; and delineate the
criteria for grant awards. Consistent
with the criteria for grants awards in the

Final Guidelines, the standard financial
assistance award period for these
awards is 18 months, which can be
extended an additional 18 months if
circumstances warrant, but may not
exceed three years.
Several FY 2007 awards, whose award
period is set to expire on September 30,
2010, have experienced circumstances
late in the process that precluded their
completion within the three-year
timeframe provided in the CELCP
Guidelines. Although the Final
Guidelines indicate that the financial
assistance award period may not exceed
three years, NOAA is extending the
maximum potential award duration for
those FY 2007 grants in an open status
on September 29, 2010, from three years
to three years and six months, ending no
later than March 31, 2011, in order to
enable projects to be completed and
funds expended for their intended
purpose.
Award recipients who wish to avail
themselves of the extension to the
award period should contact their
Program Officer by September 30, 2010
to inform them of their intent to seek an
extension.
This extension applies to only FY
2007 CELCP awards in an open status
on September 29, 2010. This notice does
not modify any provision in the Final
Guidelines for the Coastal and Estuarine
Land Conservation Program published
on June 17, 2003.
Classification
This notice has been determined to be
not significant for purposes of Executive
Order 12866.
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
It has been determined that this notice
does not contain policies with
Federalism implications as that term is
defined in Executive Order 13132.
Administrative Procedure Act/
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Prior notice and an opportunity for
public comment are not required by the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other law 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 has not been
prepared.

Multi-Sector Trade Mission to Nigeria
International Trade
Administration, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
Mission Statement: Multi-Sector Trade
Mission to Nigeria, March 8–10, 2011
I. Mission Description
The United States Department of
Commerce, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Commercial
Service is organizing a Trade Mission to
Nigeria March 8–10, 2011, to help U.S.
firms find business partners and sell
equipment and services in Lagos and
Abuja, Nigeria. Targeted sectors include,
but are not limited to, energy and power
generation, health care, information
technology, transportation and
construction. This mission will be led
by a senior official and will include
business-to-business matchmaking with
local companies, market briefings, and
meetings with key government officials.
II. Commercial Setting
In 2009, the Nigerian economy was
among the top 20 fastest growing in the
world at 6+%, and is one of the two
largest economies in Africa. The
International Monetary Fund projects
Nigeria’s economy to continue to grow
at 6+% for the next 4 years. With a
population of 150 million people, the
largest in Africa and 8th largest in the
world, Nigeria has a thriving consumer
market. Total U.S.-Nigeria trade did fall
from $3.4 trillion to $2.6 trillion in 2008
and 2009 but is expected to surge in
conjunction with Nigeria’s growing
economy. U.S. exports to Nigeria in
2009 consisted mostly of cereals,
vehicles, machinery, fuel and aircraft.
There is significant business potential
for U.S. businesses willing to conduct
due diligence and draw on Commercial
Service assistance in screening
prospective partners and customers in
Nigeria.
Nigerians prefer U.S. products due to
quality, name brand recognition and
seek competitive pricing. The business
culture relies heavily on the strength of
personal contacts to consummate deals.
This trade mission offers U.S. company
