Proposed RuleAgriculture DepartmentOffice of the Secretary

Modernization of Regulations Under 9 CFR Parts 101-118 and 123-124

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) proffers this Request for Information (RFI) to solicit the public's input on regulatory considerations related to 9 CFR parts 101-118, 123-124. The regulations are issued primarily pursuant to Section 154 of the Virus- Serum-Toxin Act (VSTA). USDA intends to evaluate each part and subpart for its effectiveness at upholding the VSTA's statutory mandate to prohibit the preparation, sale, barter, or exchange of "worthless, contaminated, dangerous, or harmful" viruses, serums, toxins, or analogous products intended for the use in the treatment of domestic animals, i.e., all animals, other than man, including poultry. The current regulations reflect decades of incremental amendments, technical updates, and revisions adopted at different points in time to address specific scientific, operational, and/or programmatic needs; in recent history, USDA has not holistically reformed the regulations implementing the VSTA. Comprehensive modernization of the regulations will ensure that the framework remains coherent, consistent, and responsive to contemporary technologies, innovation, and practices while continuing to fulfill the statutory requirements of the VSTA.

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Under 2 CFR parts 200 and 400. For assistance agreements awarded on or after December 26, 2014, 2 CFR part 400 implements OMB regulations in 2 CFR part 200. FAS grant programs plan to collect the information from grant applicants needed to evaluate and rank applicants and protect the integrity of the grantee selection process. All FAS grant programs will be eligible but not required to use the uniform grant application package (concept papers, full application, terms and conditions, agreements, amendments as well as performance report). The authorities for these grants vary. The term "grant" in this submission refers only to non-entitlement discretionary competitive and non-competitive grants or cooperative agreements. The uniform grant application package will include general information and instructions; requirements for the program narrative statement describing how the grant goals, objectives, and outcomes will be reached, as well as a description of the budget; the Standard Forms SF- 424 series, and SF-LLL, which request basic information, budget information, and disclosure of lobbying activities certification, respectively. In addition, grantees will also be required to submit Standard Form SF-425, Federal Financial Report form, M&E Reports, SF- 270 Claim (4040-0012)). If FAS decides to use the uniform grant application package, FAS will note in the grant solicitation that applicants must use the uniform grant application package and that the information collection has already been approved by OMB. If FAS chooses not to use the uniform grant application package or finds it necessary for grant applicants to submit extra information not included in the uniform package, FAS will issue a notice of at least 30 days inviting public comments on its plan to gather different or additional information be making a grant solicitation, unless this has already been addressed in earlier published notices. Need and Use of the Information: The primary users of the information collected from the applicant are FAS and other Federal staff who will serve on a panel to systematically review, evaluate, and approve the competitive and non-competitive grant/cooperative agreement applications and recommend the applicants most likely to meet program objectives and most responsive to the solicitation. The selection criteria will be contained in the grant application package. Without this information, FAS will not have adequate data to select appropriate grantees or evaluate which grants should be continued or monitor financial reporting requirements. Description of Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not for profit institutions. Number of Respondents: 628. Frequency of Responses: Recordkeeping; Reporting; Quarterly. Total Burden Hours: 25,306.

Watermelon Research and Promotion Plan; Realignment; Withdrawal of Proposed Rule

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is withdrawing a proposed rule, published in the Federal Register on September 19, 2025, that proposed adjusting the Watermelon Research and Promotion Plan (Plan) by realigning several production districts and reducing the number of importers on the National Watermelon Promotion Board (Board) from nine to seven. USDA found the calculation used to justify the change in the number of importers to be legally insufficient and is therefore withdrawing the proposed rule.
