administrative costs incurred in
awarding the competitive grants.
(c) Indirect cost provisions for
research, extension, and education
activities conducted at the Centers and
Subcenter. Subject to § 3430.54, indirect
costs are allowable for the funds
provided by NIFA to the Centers and the
Subcenter for the research, extension,
and education programs under
§ 3430.1004(a)(2).
(d) Required allocations. Each Center
and Subcenter must fund subgrants in a
proportion that is a minimum 30
percent for conducting multiinstitutional and multistate research,
extension, and education programs on
technology development; and a
minimum 30 percent for conducting
integrated multi-institutional and
multistate research, extension, and
education programs on technology
implementation. Each Sun Grant Center
must clearly demonstrate a common
procedure for ensuring the required
allocations are met, and for maintaining
documentation of these required
percentages for audit purposes.
§ 3430.1006
Matching requirements.
(a) Matching provisions for the
Centers and Subcenter. The Centers and
the Subcenter are not required to match
Federal funds.
(b) Matching provisions for
subawards. For subawards made by the
Centers or Subcenter through the
competitive grants process, not less than
20 percent of the cost of an activity must
be matched with funds, including inkind contributions, from a non-Federal
source, by the subawardee.
(1) Exception for fundamental
research. This matching requirement
does not apply to fundamental research
(as defined in § 3430.2).
(2) Special matching provisions for
applied research. With prior approval
by the NIFA authorized departmental
officer (ADO), the Center or Subcenter
may reduce or eliminate the matching
requirement for applied research (as
defined in § 3430.2) if the Center or
Subcenter determines that the reduction
is necessary and appropriate pursuant to
guidance issued by NIFA.

§ 3430.1008 Sun Grant Information
Analysis Center.
The Centers and Subcenter shall
maintain, at the North-Central Center, a
Sun Grant Information Analysis Center
to provide the Centers and Subcenter
with analysis and data management
support. Each Center and Subcenter
shall allocate a portion of the funds
available for administrative or indirect
costs under § 3430.1005 to maintain the
Sun Grant Information Analysis Center.
§ 3430.1009
Administrative duties.
In addition to other reporting
requirements agreed to in the terms and
conditions of each award, not later than
90 days after the end of each Federal
fiscal year, each Center and Subcenter
shall submit to NIFA a report that
describes the policies, priorities, and
operations of the program carried out by
the Center or Subcenter during the fiscal
year, including the results of all peer
and merit review procedures conducted
as part of administering the regional
competitive research, extension, and
educational grant programs; and a
description of progress made in
facilitating the plan described in
§ 3430.1007.
§ 3430.1010
Planning activities.
(a) Required plan. The Centers and
Subcenter shall jointly develop and
submit to NIFA for approval a plan for
addressing the bioenergy, biomass, and
gasification research priorities of the
Department and the Department of
Energy at the State and regional levels.
To comply with this requirement, NIFA
requires that the proposals from each of
the five Centers be of similar format and
subject matter and complementary to
VerDate Mar<15>2010
comprise a national program for
purposes of serving as the actual ‘‘plan.’’
Each proposal will present a plan that
includes a description of what will be
done in common and collectively by the
Centers and Subcenter, what each will
do as a Center and Subcenter, and how
each Center and Subcenter will
implement its regional competitive
grants program. Proposals submitted to
the Sun Grant Program must be
sufficiently detailed and of high enough
quality and demonstrate adequate
evidence of collaboration to meet this
requirement. Funds available for
administrative costs (see § 3430.1005(b))
may be used to meet this requirement.
(b) Gasification. With respect to
gasification research activities, the
Centers and Subcenter shall coordinate
planning with land-grant colleges and
universities in their respective regions
that have ongoing research activities in
that area.
Review criteria.

Use of Public Housing Capital Funds
for Financing Activities
Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Public and Indian
Housing, HUD.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
AGENCY:
This publication makes a
technical correction to the preamble of
the final rule on Capital Fund
Financing, published on October 21,
2010. That preamble erroneously
included a paragraph in the ‘‘Findings
and Certifications’’ section’’ headed
‘‘Congressional Review of Final Rules.’’
That paragraph is only relevant where a
rule is deemed economically significant,
which this rule is not. Therefore, this
paragraph should not have been
included in the ‘‘Findings and
Certifications’’ section of the preamble.
Removing this paragraph makes no
substantive change to the rule.
DATES: Effective Date: December 20,
2010.
SUMMARY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jeffrey Riddel, Director, Office of Capital
Improvements, Office of Public and
Indian Housing, Department of Housing
and Urban Development, 451 7th Street,
SW., Washington, DC 20410–8000;
telephone number 202–708–1640,

number). Hearing- or speech-impaired
individuals may access this number
through TTY by calling the toll-free
Federal Information Relay Service at
800–877–8339.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 21, 2010 (75 FR 65198), HUD
published a final rule that implements
the Capital Fund Finance Program
(CFFP) to allow public housing agencies
(PHAs) to use a portion of their Capital
Funds for financing activities, including
modernization and development
activities along with the payment of

debt service on the financing. This final
rule followed a proposed rule published
on July 18, 2007 (72 FR 39546), that
included financing options under both
the Capital Fund and the Operating
Fund, and that provided a 60-day period
for public comment. Ultimately, only
the Capital Fund portion became a final
rule.
During the period when HUD was
responding to public comments and
producing the final rule, the Department
held discussions internally on the issue
of whether this rule would have an
annual effect on the economy of $1
million or more, and therefore was an
economically significant rule under
Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory
Planning and Review), and a major rule
under the Congressional Review Act (5
U.S.C. 801 et seq. See, specifically, the
5 U.S.C. 804 definition of ‘‘major rule’’).
The Department concluded that this
rule would not have an annual effect on
the economy of $1 million or more, and
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) agreed with HUD’s final
assessment while the rule was under
OMB review in accordance with
Executive Order 12866. The economic
impact of this rule is addressed in
Section IV (Findings and Certifications)
of the preamble to the final rule at 75
FR 65206 through 65208.
Following HUD’s final assessment
that the rule was not economically
significant, HUD failed to remove the
‘‘Congressional Review of Final Rules,’’
paragraph from the preamble (see 75 FR
65208), which is used by HUD in the
case of major, economically significant
rules under the Congressional Review
Act and the Executive Order. This
paragraph and its heading should not
have been included in this preamble.
This document corrects this error. This
correction does not substantively
change the rule.
Accordingly, FR Doc. 2010–26404,
Use of Public Housing Capital Funds for
Financing Activities (FR–4843–F–02),
published in the Federal Register on
October 21, 2010 (75 FR 65198), is
corrected as follows:
On page 65208, in the second column,
the paragraph entitled ‘‘Congressional
Review of Final Rules’’ is removed.
Dated: November 15, 2010.

Cobalt Lithium Manganese Nickel
Oxide; Withdrawal of Significant New
Use Rule
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is withdrawing a
significant new use rule (SNUR)
promulgated under section 5(a)(2) of the
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
for the chemical substance identified as
cobalt lithium manganese nickel oxide
(CAS No. 182442–95–1), which was the
subject of premanufacture notice (PMN)
P–04–269. EPA published the SNUR
using direct final rulemaking
procedures. EPA received a notice of
intent to submit adverse comments on
the rule. Therefore, the Agency is
withdrawing the SNUR, as required
under the expedited SNUR rulemaking
process. Elsewhere in today’s Federal
Register, EPA is publishing (under
separate notice and comment
rulemaking procedures), a proposed
SNUR for this substance.
DATES: This final rule is effective
November 19, 2010.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Does this action apply to me?
A list of potentially affected entities is
provided in the Federal Register of
September 20, 2010 (75 FR 57169)
(FRL–8839–7). If you have questions
regarding the applicability of this action
to a particular entity, consult the
technical person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
II. What rule is being withdrawn?
In the Federal Register of September
20, 2010 (75 FR 57169), EPA issued
several direct final SNURs, including a
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
70583
SNUR for the chemical substance that is
the subject of this withdrawal. These
direct final rules were issued pursuant
to the procedures in 40 CFR part 721,
subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR
721.160(c)(3)(ii), EPA is withdrawing
the rule issued for cobalt lithium
manganese nickel oxide (PMN P–04–
269; CAS No. 182442–95–1) at 40 CFR
721.10201 because the Agency received
a notice of intent to submit adverse
comments. Elsewhere in today’s Federal
Register, EPA is proposing a SNUR for
this chemical substance via notice and
comment rulemaking.
For further information regarding
EPA’s expedited process for issuing
SNURs, interested parties are directed to
40 CFR part 721, subpart D, and the
Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR
31314). The record for the direct final
SNUR for the chemical substance being
withdrawn was established at EPA–HQ–
OPPT–2009–0922. That record includes
information considered by the Agency
in developing the rule and the notice of
intent to submit adverse comments.
III. How do I access the docket?
To access the electronic docket,
please go to https://www.regulations.gov
and follow the online instructions to
access docket ID no. EPA–HQ–OPPT–
2009–0922. Additional information
about the Docket Facility is provided
under ADDRESSES in the Federal
Register document of September 20,
2010 (75 FR 57169). If you have
questions, consult the technical person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
IV. What statutory and executive order
reviews apply to this action?
This final rule revokes or eliminates
an existing regulatory requirement and
does not contain any new or amended
requirements. As such, the Agency has
determined that this withdrawal will
not have any adverse impacts, economic
or otherwise. The statutory and
executive order review requirements
applicable to the direct final rule were
discussed in the Federal Register
document of September 20, 2010 (75 FR
57169). Those review requirements do
not apply to this action because it is a
withdrawal and does not contain any
new or amended requirements.
V. Congressional Review Act
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report to each House of
the Congress and the Comptroller
General of the United States. EPA will
submit a report containing this rule and
