The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) proposes to replace the Group Risk Plan (GRP) provisions in CFR part 407, which includes the: GRP Basic Provisions, GRP Barley Crop Provisions, GRP Corn Crop Provisions, GRP Cotton Crop Provisions, GRP Forage Crop Provisions, GRP Peanut Crop Provisions, GRP Sorghum Crop Provisions, GRP Soybean Crop Provisions, and GRP Wheat Crop Provisions, with a new Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) Basic Provisions and ARPI Crop Provisions for each of these crops except Barley and Peanuts. The new ARPI provisions will also replace the Group Risk Income Protection (GRIP) Basic Provisions, the GRIP Crop Provisions, and the GRIP-Harvest Revenue Option (GRIP-HRO). ARPI will offer producers a choice of Area Revenue Protection, Area Revenue Protection with the Harvest Price Exclusion, or Area Yield Protection, all within one Basic Provision and the applicable Crop Provisions. This will reduce the amount of information producers must read to determine the best risk management tool for their operation and will improve the provisions to better meet the needs of insured's. The changes will apply for the 2013 and succeeding crop years.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``Commission'' or ``CFTC'') is amending its rules implementing new statutory provisions enacted by titles VII and X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the ``Dodd-Frank Act'').

The GLB Act sets forth certain protections for the privacy of consumer financial information and was amended by the Dodd-Frank Act to affirm the Commission's jurisdiction in this area. The Commission's amendments to its regulations, inter alia, broaden the scope of part 160 to cover two new entities created by title VII of the Dodd-Frank Act: swap dealers and major swap participants.

On April 1, 2011 (76 FR 18198) (Atlantis); March 29, 2011 (76 FR 17391) (U.S.-Brazil); and March 25, 2011 (76 FR 16743) (NAM), the Department published in the Federal Register notices inviting applications for new awards for each of the programs identified. On April 15, 2011, the President signed Public Law 112-10, the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011, which substantially reduced funds available for the Department's Higher Education account.

Therefore, no new grants will be made under the Atlantis, U.S.-Brazil, or NAM programs in FY 2011. As such, the Department withdraws these notices inviting applications for new awards for FY 2011.
