Revision of Delegations of Authority AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, Agricultural Research Service, Commodity Credit Corporation, and National Institute of Food and Agriculture, USDA. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This document amends a number of regulations of the Department of Agriculture

(USDA)principally to reflect the establishment of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the abolishment of the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, as mandated by section 251(f)(2) of the Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (7 U.S.C. 6971(f)(2)) (as added by section 7511 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA), Pub. L. 110-246). This rule also makes a number of miscellaneous amendments to the delegations of authority in 7 CFR part 2, as summarized below. DATES: This rule is effective January 27, 2011. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Lockhart; Senior Policy Specialist; National Institute of Food and Agriculture; U.S. Department of Agriculture; STOP 2299; 1400 Independence Avenue, SW.; Washington, DC 20250-2299; Voice: 202-570-7410; Fax: 202-401-7752; E-mail: *mlockhart@nifa.usda.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Establishment of National Institute of Food and Agriculture On October 1, 2009, the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) established within USDA the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), as mandated by section 251(f)(2) of the Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994 (Reorganization Act) (7 U.S.C. 6971(f)(2)). Section 251(f)(2) was added by section 7511 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (FCEA), Public Law 110-246. Pursuant to the FCEA, the Secretary transferred to NIFA, effective October 1, 2009, the authorities (including all budget authorities, available appropriations, and personnel), duties, obligations, and related legal and administrative functions prescribed by law or otherwise granted to the Secretary, the Department, or any other agency or official of the Department under the research, education, economic, cooperative State research programs, cooperative extension and education programs, international programs, and other functions and authorities delegated by the Under Secretary for Research, Education, and Economics (“REE”) to the Administrator of the Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES) pursuant to 7 CFR 2.66, and any and all other authorities administered by the Administrator of CSREES. Accordingly, the agency known as CSREES was abolished upon establishment of NIFA. This rule makes a number of nomenclature amendments to various USDA regulations to reflect the establishment of NIFA and the abolishment of CSREES. For example, references to “CSREES” are changed to “NIFA,” references to “CSREES Administrator” are changed to “NIFA Director,” *etc.* Delegations of Authority This rule also makes other changes to existing delegations in 7 CFR part 2 by correcting references and citations and removing obsolete authorities. Additionally, the pollinator protection authorities in section 1672(h) of the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 5925(h)), as added by section 7204 of the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008, Public Law 110-246, are being delegated among NIFA, the Agricultural Research Service, and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. This rulemaking also includes changes to some of the delegations previously reserved to the Secretary. The authorities at § 2.21(b)(1)(i), (b)(1)(ii), and (b)(1)(iii) have been removed as they are related to the administration of two of the NIFA formula grant programs—McIntire-Stennis Cooperative Forestry Research Program (16 U.S.C. 582a-1) and the Animal Health and Disease Research Program (7 U.S.C. 3195). NIFA Regulations (at 7 CFR 3400s) Within the next three years, NIFA will be establishing subparts under 7 CFR part 3430—Competitive and Noncompetitive Nonformula Federal Assistance Programs—General Award Administrative Provisions for the Special Research Grants Program (currently at 7 CFR part 3400), Rangeland Research Grants Program (currently at 7 CFR part 3401), Food and Agricultural Sciences National Needs Graduate and Postgraduate Fellowship Grants Program (currently at 7 CFR part 3402), Higher Education Challenge Grants Program (currently at 7 CFR part 3405), and Biotechnology Risk Assessment Research Grants Program (currently at 7 CFR part 3415). Please note subpart L for the 1890 Institutional Capacity Building Grants Program (currently at 7 CFR part 3406) will be promulgated by December 31, 2010. Section 7406 of FCEA amended the Competitive, Special, and Facilities Research Grant Act (7 U.S.C. 450i) to create the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative and, thus, eliminated the National Research Initiative (NRI). Hence, NIFA is canceling the regulations at 7 CFR part 3411, National Research Initiative Competitive Grants Program. Please note that these regulations at 7 CFR part 3411 focused primarily on pre-award and award policies and procedures. Since there are some active NRI awards, 7 CFR part 3430 Subpart E—Post-Award and Closeout, will apply ( *i.e.,* post-award policies and procedures) to these active awards, except as described under “ DATES: *Effective Date* ” in 74 FR 45736 (Sept. 4, 2009). 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 Orders 12866 and 12988. This action is not a rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, Public Law 96-354, and the Small Business Regulatory Fairness Enforcement 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 Parts 1b, 2, 8, 12, 23, 407, 457, 550, 1410, 1436, 1437, 1468, 1469, 3400, 3401, 3402, 3403, 3404, 3405, 3406, 3407, 3411, 3415, and 3430 Authority delegations (Government agencies), Agricultural research, Agricultural education, Agricultural extension, Federal assistance, Food and agricultural sciences, Grants program—agriculture, Grants administration.
