ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This rule makes a number of miscellaneous amendments to delegations of authority by adding new authorities, correcting references, and removing obsolete authorities. DATES: This rule is effective July 9, 2012. 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: 202-559-5088; Fax: 202-401-7752; Email: *mlockhart@nifa.usda.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Delegations of Authority This rule makes changes to existing delegations in 7 CFR parts 2 and 520. The delegations of authority to the Under Secretary for Research, Education, and Economics
(REE)in 7 CFR 2.21 and to the Director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture
(NIFA)in 7 CFR 2.66 are amended to reflect the delegation of the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) in section 405 of the Agricultural Research, Extension, and Education Reform Act of 1998 (7 U.S.C. 7625), as added by section 209(b) of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, Public Law 111-353, to carry out a competitive grant program within NIFA to provide food safety training, education, extension, outreach, and technical assistance to owners and operators of farms, small food processors, and small fruit and vegetable merchant wholesalers. The authorities to approve the selection of State directors of extension and memoranda of understanding
(MOUs)between land-grant universities and USDA, related to cooperative extension programs, reserved to the Secretary in 7 CFR 2.21(b)(1)(v) and (vi), respectively, are removed. The MOUs, which required USDA approval of extension directors/administrators, have been terminated by USDA due to obsolescence. The delegations of authority to the Administrator of the National Agricultural Statistics Service in 7 CFR 2.68 are amended to reflect the delegation of authority, currently delegated to the Under Secretary for REE in 7 CFR 2.21(a)(xviii), to enter into agreements with and receive funds from any State, other political subdivision, organization, or individual for the purpose of conducting cooperative research projects, including agricultural statistical survey activities (7 U.S.C. 450a). Finally, this rule amends Agricultural Research Service
(ARS)regulations at 7 CFR 520.4 to correct a reference to the ARS official with delegated responsibility for the establishment of procedures and coordination necessary to carry out the policies and provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act within ARS.
