All NCNR Comprehensive Grants Program competition requirements and
information announced in the April 13, 2010, Federal Register apply to
proposals submitted during the extended time period.
Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review of Federal
Programs). Proposals under this program are not subject to Executive
Order 12372.
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism). This notice does not contain
policies with Federalism implications as defined in Executive Order
13132.
Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review). This notice
is not a significant regulatory action under sections 3(f)(3) and
3(f)(4) of Executive Order 12866, as it does not materially alter the
budgetary impact of a grant program and does not raise novel policy
issues. This notice is not an ``economically significant'' regulatory
action under Section 3(f)(1) of the Executive Order, as it does not
have an effect on the economy of $100 million or more in any one year,
and it does not have a material adverse effect on the economy, a sector
of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment,
public health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or
communities.
Administrative Procedure Act and Regulatory Flexibility Act. Prior
notice and comment are not required under 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other
law, for rules relating to public property, loans, grants, benefits or
contracts (5 U.S.C. 553(a)). Because prior notice and an opportunity
for public comment are not required pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 or any
other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) are inapplicable. Therefore, a regulatory
flexibility analysis is not required and has not been prepared.
Dated: April 20, 2010.
Marc G. Stanley,
Acting Deputy Director.
