HSACU Institutions for Fiscal Year
2018
This rule makes changes to the
existing list of institutions in appendix
B of 7 CFR part 3434. The list of
institutions is amended to reflect the
institutions that are granted HSACU
certification by the Secretary and are
eligible for HSACU programs for the
period starting October 1, 2017, and
ending September 30, 2018.
Certification Process
As stated in 7 CFR 3434.4, an
institution must meet the following
criteria to receive HSACU certification:
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
11869
(1) Be a Hispanic-Serving Institution
(HSI), (2) offer agriculture-related
degrees, (3) not appear on the Excluded
Parties List System (EPLS), (4) be
accredited, and (5) award at least 15%
of agriculture-related degrees to
Hispanic students over the two most
recent academic years.
NIFA obtained the latest report from
the U.S. Department of Education’s
National Center for Education Statistics
that lists all HSIs and the degrees
conferred by these institutions
(completion data) during the 2015–16
academic year. NIFA used this report to
identify HSIs that conferred a degree in
an instructional program that appears in
appendix A of 7 CFR part 3434 and to
confirm that over the 2014–15 and
2015–16 academic years at least 15% of
the degrees in agriculture-related fields
were awarded to Hispanic students.
NIFA further confirmed that these
institutions were nationally accredited
and were not on the exclusions listing
in the System for Award Management
(https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/
##11).
The updated list of HSACUs is based
on (1) completions data from 2014–15
and 2015–16, and (2) enrollment data
from Fall 2016. NIFA identified 147
institutions that met the eligibility
criteria to receive HSACU certification
for FY 2018 (October 1, 2017 to
September 30, 2018).
Declaration of Intent To Opt Out of
HSACU Designation and Apply for Non
Land-Grant College of Agriculture
(NLGCA) Designation
As set forth in Section 7101 of the
Agricultural Act of 2014 (Pub. L. 113–
79), which amends 7 U.S.C. 3103, an
institution that is eligible to be
designated as an HSACU may notify the
Secretary of its intent not to be
considered an HSACU. Institutions that
opt out of HSACU designation will have
the option to apply for designation as a
Non-Land Grant College of Agriculture
(NLGCA) institution. To opt out of
designation as an HSACU, an
authorized official at the institution
must submit a declaration of intent not
to be considered an HSACU to NIFA by
email at NLGCA.status@nifa.usda.gov.
In accordance with Section 7101, a
declaration by an institution not to be
considered an HSACU shall remain in
effect until September 30, 2018. To be
eligible for NLGCA designation,
institutions must be public colleges or
universities offering baccalaureate or
higher degrees in the study of food and
agricultural sciences, as defined in 7
U.S.C. 3103. An online form to request
NLGCA designation is available at

In FYs 2016 and 2017, one institution
opted out of HSACU designation and
received NLGCA designation, hence that
institution is excluded from the FY 2018
HSACU list.
Appeal Process
As set forth in 7 CFR 3434.8, NIFA
will permit HSIs that are not granted
HSACU certification to submit an
appeal within 30 days of the publication
of this document.
Classification
This rule relates to internal agency
management. Accordingly, pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 553, notice of proposed
rulemaking and opportunity for
comment are not required, and this rule
may be made effective less than 30 days
after publication in the Federal
Register. This rule also is exempt from
the provisions of Executive Order
12866. This action is not a rule as
defined by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, as amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., or the
Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801
et seq., and thus is exempt from the
provisions of those Acts. This rule
contains no information collection or
recordkeeping requirements under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 3434

The Boeing Company Model 737–300
and –500 series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by a report indicating that
fatigue cracks were found in the lower
wing skin of an airplane with winglets
installed. This AD requires repetitive
inspections for cracking of the lower
wing skin, and repair if necessary. We
are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:37 Mar 16, 2018
Jkt 244001
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to certain The Boeing Company
Model 737–300 and –500 series
airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on October 6, 2017 (82
FR 46725). The NPRM was prompted by
a report indicating that fatigue cracks
were found in the lower wing skin of an
airplane with winglets installed. The
NPRM proposed to require repetitive
inspections for cracking of the lower
wing skin, and repair if necessary.
We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct fatigue cracking of the lower
wing skin common to the runout of
stringer L–5. Such cracking could grow
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
11871
and result in loss of structural integrity
of the wing, and consequent reduced, or
complete loss of, controllability of the
airplane.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this final rule.
The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA’s
response to each comment. Aviation
Partners Boeing concurred with the
proposed AD.
Request for Manufacturer To Share
Expense
One commenter, Mary Lou Allen,
requested that the airplane
manufacturer share in the expense with
the airplane’s purchaser or owner,
because of the high costs associated
with supplemental type certificates. We
infer that the commenter wants
manufacturers to be required to help
pay for compliance with the proposed
AD.
We do not agree to this request. We
provide estimates of the cost on U.S.
operators for AD compliance, but do not
determine who is responsible for
payment. We are aware that airplane
manufacturers and modifiers often have
warranty agreements with owners and
operators to cover some or all of the
costs of modifications or repairs, but we
do not participate in these agreements.
We have not changed this AD in this
regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, and
determined that air safety and the
public interest require adopting this
final rule as proposed, except for minor
editorial changes. We have determined
that these minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
We reviewed Aviation Partners
Boeing Service Bulletin AP737C–57–
002, dated April 5, 2017. The service
information describes procedures for
repetitive inspections for cracking of the
lower wing skin, and repair if necessary.
This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties
have access to it through their normal
course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
HSACU Institutions for Fiscal Year 2018
This rule makes changes to the existing list of institutions in
appendix B of 7 CFR part 3434. The list of institutions is amended to
reflect the institutions that are granted HSACU certification by the
Secretary and are eligible for HSACU programs for the period starting
October 1, 2017, and ending September 30, 2018.
Certification Process
As stated in 7 CFR 3434.4, an institution must meet the following
criteria to receive HSACU certification: (1) Be a Hispanic-Serving
Institution (HSI), (2) offer agriculture-related degrees, (3) not
appear on the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS), (4) be accredited,
and (5) award at least 15% of agriculture-related degrees to Hispanic
students over the two most recent academic years.
NIFA obtained the latest report from the U.S. Department of
Education's National Center for Education Statistics that lists all
HSIs and the degrees conferred by these institutions (completion data)
during the 2015-16 academic year. NIFA used this report to identify
HSIs that conferred a degree in an instructional program that appears
in appendix A of 7 CFR part 3434 and to confirm that over the 2014-15
and 2015-16 academic years at least 15% of the degrees in agriculture-
related fields were awarded to Hispanic students. NIFA further
confirmed that these institutions were nationally accredited and were
not on the exclusions listing in the System for Award Management
(https://www.sam.gov/portal/SAM/##11).
The updated list of HSACUs is based on (1) completions data from
2014-15 and 2015-16, and (2) enrollment data from Fall 2016. NIFA
identified 147 institutions that met the eligibility criteria to
receive HSACU certification for FY 2018 (October 1, 2017 to September
30, 2018).
Declaration of Intent To Opt Out of HSACU Designation and Apply for Non
Land-Grant College of Agriculture (NLGCA) Designation
As set forth in Section 7101 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (Pub.
L. 113-79), which amends 7 U.S.C. 3103, an institution that is eligible
to be designated as an HSACU may notify the Secretary of its intent not
to be considered an HSACU. Institutions that opt out of HSACU
designation will have the option to apply for designation as a Non-Land
Grant College of Agriculture (NLGCA) institution. To opt out of
designation as an HSACU, an authorized official at the institution must
submit a declaration of intent not to be considered an HSACU to NIFA by
email at [email protected]. In accordance with Section 7101, a
declaration by an institution not to be considered an HSACU shall
remain in effect until September 30, 2018. To be eligible for NLGCA
designation, institutions must be public colleges or universities
offering baccalaureate or higher degrees in the study of food and
agricultural sciences, as defined in 7 U.S.C. 3103. An online form to
request NLGCA designation is available at https://nifa.usda.gov/webform/
request-
[[Page 11870]]
non-land-grant-college-agriculture-designation.
In FYs 2016 and 2017, one institution opted out of HSACU
designation and received NLGCA designation, hence that institution is
excluded from the FY 2018 HSACU list.
Appeal Process
As set forth in 7 CFR 3434.8, NIFA will permit HSIs that are not
granted HSACU certification to submit an appeal within 30 days of the
publication of this document.
Classification
This rule relates to internal agency management. Accordingly,
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, notice of proposed rulemaking and opportunity
for comment are not required, and this rule may be made effective less
than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. This rule also
is exempt from the provisions of Executive Order 12866. This action is
not a rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended by
the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, 5
U.S.C. 601 et seq., or the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et
seq., and thus is exempt from the provisions of those Acts. This rule
contains no information collection or recordkeeping requirements under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 3434
