SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:24 Jun 05, 2012
Jkt 226001
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval for the extension of a currently
approved information collection for
three years.
Abstract: Funding for the Children,
Youth, and Families at Risk (CYFAR)
community project grants is authorized
under section 3(d) of the Smith-Lever
Act (7 U.S.C. 341 et seq.), as amended,
and other relevant authorizing
legislation, which provides
jurisdictional basis for the establishment
and operation of extension educational
work for the benefit of youth and
families in communities. The CYFAR
funding program supports communitybased programs serving children, youth,
and families in at-risk environments.
CYFAR funds are intended to support
the development of high quality,
effective programs based on research
and to document the impact of these
programs on intended audiences. The
CYFAR Year End Report collects
demographic and impact data from each
community site to conduct impact
evaluations of the programs on its
intended audience.
The collection of information serves
several purposes. It allows NIFA staff to
gauge whether the program is reaching
the target audience and make
programmatic improvements. This
collection also allows program staff to
demonstrate the impacts that are
realized as well as program capacity that
is realized in the locales where federal
assistance is provided.
The evaluation processes of CYFAR
are consistent with the requirements of
Congressional legislation and OMB. The
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA) of 1993 (Pub. L. 103–62),
the Federal Activities Inventory Reform
Act (FAIR Act) (Pub. L. 105–207), and
the Agricultural, Research, Extension
and Education Reform Act (AREERA) of
1998 (Pub. L. 105–185), together with
OMB requirements, support the
reporting requirements requested in this
information collection. One of the five
Presidential Management Agenda
initiatives, Budget and Performance
Integration, builds on GPRA and earlier
efforts to identify program goals and
performance measures, and link them to
the budget process. The FAIR Act
requires the development and
implementation of a system to monitor
and evaluate agricultural research and
extension activities in order to measure
the impact and effectiveness of research,
extension, and education programs.
AREERA requires a performance
evaluation to be conducted to determine
whether federally funded agricultural
research, extension, and education
programs result in public benefits that
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
have national or multi-state
significance.
The immediate need of this
information collection is to provide a
means for satisfying accountability
requirements. The long term objective is
to provide a means to enable the
evaluation and assessment of the
effectiveness of programs receiving
federal funds and to fully satisfy
requirements of performance and
accountability legislation in GPRA, the
FAIR Act, and AREERA.
Estimate of Burden: There are
currently CYFAR projects in 48 states
and 3 territories. Each state and territory
is required to submit an annual year-end
report which includes demographic and
impact data on each of the community
projects. NIFA estimates the burden of
this collection to be 322 hours per
response. There are currently 51
respondents, thus making the total
annual burden of this collection an
estimated 16,422 hours.
Comments: Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
to OMB for approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.

May, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Reporting Requirements for
State Plans of Work for Agricultural
Research and Extension Formula Grants.
OMB Number: 0524–0036.
Expiration Date of Current Approval:
August 31, 2012.
Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval for the extension of a currently
approved information collection for
three years.
Abstract: The purpose of this
collection of information is to continue
implementing the requirements of
sections 202 and 225 of the Agricultural
Research, Extension, and Education
Reform Act of 1998 (AREERA) which
require that a plan of work must be
submitted by each institution and
approved by the National Institute of
Food and Agriculture (NIFA) before
formula funds may be provided to the
1862 and 1890 land-grant institutions.
The formula funds are authorized under
the Hatch Act for agricultural research
activities at the 1862 land-grant
institutions, under the Smith-Lever Act
for the extension activities at the 1862
land-grant institutions, and under
sections 1444 and 1445 of the National
Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Teaching Policy Act of 1977 for research
and extension activities at the 1890
land-grant institutions. The plan of
work must address critical agricultural
issues in the State and describe the
programs and projects targeted to
address these issues using the NIFA
formula funds. The plan of work also

must describe the institution’s
multistate activities as well as their
integrated research and extension
activities.
This collection of information also
includes the reporting requirements of
section 102(c) of AREERA for the 1862
and 1890 land-grant institutions. This
section requires the 1862, 1890, and
1994 land-grant institutions receiving
agricultural research, education, and
extension formula funds from NIFA of
the Department of Agriculture (USDA)
to establish and implement processes
for obtaining input from persons who
conduct or use agricultural research,
extension, or education concerning the
use of such funds by October 1, 1999.
Section 102(c) further requires that the
Secretary of Agriculture promulgate
regulations that prescribe what the
institutions must do to meet this
requirement and the consequences of
not complying with this requirement.
The Stakeholder Input Requirements for
Recipients of Agricultural Research,
Education, and Extension Formula
Funds (7 CFR Part 3418) final rule (65
FR 5993, Feb. 8, 2000) applies not only
to the land-grant institutions receiving
formula funds but also to the veterinary
and forestry schools that are not landgrant institutions but receive forestry
research funds under the McIntireStennis Act of 1962 and animal health
and disease research funds under
section 1433 of the National
Agricultural Research, Extension, and
Teaching Policy Act of 1977
(NARETPA). Failure to comply with the
requirements of this rule may result in
the withholding of a recipient
institution’s formula funds and
redistribution of its share of formula
funds to other eligible institutions. The
institutions are required to annually
report to NIFA: (1) The actions taken to
seek stakeholder input to encourage
their participation; (2) a brief statement
of the process used by the recipient
institution to identify individuals and
groups who are stakeholders and to
collect input from them; and (3) a
statement of how collected input was
considered. There is no legislatively
prescribed form or format for this
reporting requirement. However, the
1862 and 1890 land-grant institutions
are required to report on their
Stakeholder Input Process annually as
part of their Annual Report of
Accomplishments and Results.
Section 103(e) of AREERA requires
that the 1862, 1890, and 1994 land-grant
institutions establish a merit review
process, prior to October 1, 1999, in
order to obtain agricultural research and
extension funds. Section 104(h) of
AREERA also stipulated that a scientific
PO 00000

peer review process be established for
research programs funded under section
3(c)(3) of the Hatch Act (commonly
referred to as Hatch Multistate Research
Funds).
I. Initial 5-Year Plan of Work
Estimate of Burden: The Initial 5-Year
Plan of Work was submitted for the FY
2007–2011 Plan of Work in 2006. Thus,

Type of Request: Intent to seek
approval for the extension of a currently
approved information collection for
three years.
Abstract: Use of the 4–H Club Name
and/or Emblem is authorized by an Act
of Congress (18 U.S.C. 707). Use of the
4–H Club Name and/or Emblem by
anyone other than 4–H Clubs and those
duly authorized by them,
representatives of the United States
Department of Agriculture, the land
grant colleges and universities, and
persons authorized by the Secretary of
Agriculture is prohibited by the
provisions of 18 U.S.C. 707. The
Secretary of Agriculture has delegated
authority to the Director of NIFA to
authorize others to use the 4–H Club
Name and Emblem. The Director has
promulgated regulations at 7 CFR Part 8
that govern such use. The regulatory
requirements for use of the 4–H Club
Name and/or Emblem reflect the high
standards of 4–H and its educational
goals and objectives. Pursuant to
provisions of 7 CFR Part 8 anyone
requesting authorization from the
Director to use the 4–H Club Name and/
or Emblem is asked to describe the
proposed use in a formal application.
The collection of this information is
used to determine whether the
applicant’s proposed use will meet the
regulatory requirements in 7 CFR Part 8
and whether an authorization for use
should be granted.
Need and Use of the Information:
NIFA will collect information on the
name of the individual, partnership,
corporation, or association; the
organizational address; the name of an
authorized representative; the telephone
number, facsimile number, and email
address; the proposed use of the 4–H
Club Name and/or Emblem; and the
plan for sale or distribution of the
product bearing the 4–H Club Name
and/or Emblem. The information
collected by NIFA will be used to
determine if those applying to use the
4–H Name and/or Emblem meet the
regulatory requirements. If the
information is not collected, it would
not be possible to ensure that the
products, services, and materials meet
the regulatory requirements as well as
4–H educational goals and objectives.
Estimate of Burden: No changes have
been proposed to this collection, and
the public reporting burden remains at
the estimated average .5 hours per
response.
Respondents: Individuals,
households, businesses or other forprofit or not-for-profit institutions.
