Background
The final regulation that is the subject
of this correction revised the Common
Crop Insurance Regulations, Basic
Provisions and applicable Crop
Provisions, including the Cotton Crop
Insurance Provisions. In addition, FCIC
revised various Crop Provisions,
including the Macadamia Nut Crop
Insurance Provisions, to correct specific
references to the revised Common Crop
Insurance Regulations, Basic Provisions.
It was published March 30, 2010 (75 FR
15778–15891).

Need for Correction
10. Settlement of Claim
As published, the final regulation
contained errors which may prove to be
misleading and which need to be
clarified. Section 10(d) of the Cotton
Crop Insurance Provisions mistakenly
included language that is no longer
accurate. Language in section 10(d)
referring to the quality adjustment
parameters listed in the Special
Provisions and to the date the last bale
from the unit is classed or delivered is
not necessary since the basis for quality
adjustment is the Upland Cotton
National Average Loan Rate determined
by the Farm Service Agency.
Additionally, the use of the word
‘‘quotation’’ in the term ‘‘price quotation’’
is no longer accurate or necessary. FCIC
is replacing the term ‘‘price quotation’’
in section 10(d) with the term ‘‘price.’’
The introductory text of the
Macadamia Nut Crop Insurance
Provisions mistakenly included a
reference to the 2011 and succeeding
crop years. The applicability date for the
final rule stated ‘‘The changes will apply
for the 2011 and succeeding crop years
for all crops with a 2011 contract change
date on or after April 30, 2010, and for
2012 and succeeding crop years for all
crops with a 2011 contract change date
prior to April 30, 2010.’’ The 2011
contract change date for the Macadamia
Nut Crop Insurance Provisions is
August 31, 2010, which is prior to April
30, 2011. Therefore, this specific
provision should reference the 2012 and
succeeding crop years.

(d) Mature white cotton may be
adjusted for quality when production
has been damaged by insured causes.
Such production to count will be
reduced if Price A is less than 85
percent of Price B.
(1) Price B is defined as the Upland
Cotton National Average Loan Rate
determined by FSA, or as specified in
the Special Provisions.
(2) Price A is defined as the loan
value per pound for the bale determined
in accordance with the FSA Schedule of
Premiums and Discounts for the
applicable crop year, or as specified in
the Special Provisions.
(3) If eligible for adjustment, the
amount of production to count will be
determined by multiplying the number
of pounds of such production by the
factor derived from dividing Price A by
85 percent of Price B.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The final regulation that is the subject
of this correction revised the Stonefruit
Crop Insurance Regulations that
published July 29, 2010 (75 FR 44709–
44718).
Need for Correction
As published, the final regulation
contained an error which may prove to
be misleading. The amendatory
instruction published on page 44717 of
the Federal Register contained language
specific to redesignating section 3(c) as
3(d) and revising redesignated section
3(c) in the Stonefruit Crop Insurance
Provisions. However, redesignated
section 3(d) was not revised. Therefore,
reference to revising redesignated
section 3(d) on page 44717 is not
needed.
In FR Doc. 10–18359 appearing on
page 44717 in the issue published
Thursday, July 29, 2010, the following
correction is made:
§ 457.157
[Corrected]

second columns, remove amendatory
instruction 3.l and redesignate
amendatory instructions 3.m through

Competitive and Noncompetitive NonFormula Federal Assistance
Programs—Specific Administrative
Provisions for the New Era Rural

Program
National Institute of Food and

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The National Institute of Food
and Agriculture (NIFA) is publishing a
set of specific administrative
requirements for the New Era Rural
Technology Competitive Grants Program
(RTP) to supplement the Competitive
and Noncompetitive Non-formula
Federal Assistance Programs—General
Award Administrative Provisions for
this program.
DATES: This rule is effective on
September 27, 2010.

SUMMARY:
sanctioned by an independent
accreditation governing body.
Some prospective applicants, who are
not affiliated with a postsecondary,
degree-granting academic institution,
but are, instead, private businesses, do
not offer an academic degree and are not
sanctioned by an independent
accreditation governing body.
Accordingly, NIFA is not able to
determine whether the commercial, forprofit interests of these private
businesses are aligned with the
following two New Era rural
Technology program goals:
1. To increase the number of students
encouraged to pursue and complete a
two (2) year postsecondary degree, or a
certificate of completion, within an
occupational focus of this grant
program; and
2. To assist rural communities by
helping students achieve their career
goals to develop a viable workforce for
bioenergy, pulp and paper
manufacturing, or agriculture-based
renewable energy.
By including the terms postsecondary,
degree-granting academic institution to
the eligible applicant definition,
applicants are more inclined to follow
the original intent of Congress in
providing academic coursework and
training in technology development and
applied research to help ensure
workforce opportunities critical to rural
communities.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Authority
I. Background and Summary
Section 1405 of the National
Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Teaching Policy Act (NARETPA) of
1997, as amended (7 U.S.C. 3121)
designates the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) as the lead Federal
agency for agriculture research,
extension and teaching in the food and
agricultural sciences. Section 1473E of
NARETPA (7 U.S.C. 3319e), as
amended, requires the establishment of
a program to be known as the New Era
Rural Technology Competitive Grants
Program (RTP), which NIFA
administers.
In carrying out the program, the
Secretary is authorized to make
competitive grants to support the fields
of (i) bioenergy, (ii) pulp and paper
manufacturing, and (iii) agriculturebased renewable energy resources, in
order to help ensure workforce
opportunities critical to rural
communities. RTP will make grants
available to community college(s) and/
or advanced technology center(s),
located in rural areas, for technology
development, applied research, and/or
training.
On September 4, 2009, NIFA
published an interim rule (74 FR 45972,
September 4, 2009) to implement the
Competitive and Noncompetitive
Formula Federal Assistance Program—
Specific Administrative Provisions for
the New Era Rural Technology
Competitive Grants Program. In the
interim rule, NIFA invited comments
which were due to the agency by
January 4, 2010. We did not receive any
comments. The only change to the rule
is to clarify the definition on the type of
organization that is eligible to apply
under ‘‘Advanced Technological Center’’
(see Sec. 3430.902 Definitions). Most
‘‘Advanced Technological Centers’’ are
postsecondary, degree-granting
academic institutions. They are another
name for community or junior colleges
with a specific academic focus in
paraprofessional or trade areas such as
electronic, mechanical, civil, and
engineering technology. Also, these
Advanced Technological Centers confer
an associate degree or certificate of
completion following successful
completion of an academic curriculum
