Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Solution for Funding Opportunity Announcement”


TITLE: Meat and Poultry Processing Infrastructure Grant


USDA Agency: Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS)


Alignment with Information Collection Package: (Check one)

[ ] One-Time Pilot Program.

[X] One-Time Funding Announcement of New Program.


Purpose: USDA is required by 2 CFR 200.204 to announce discretionary grants and cooperative agreements and other financial assistance programs through public announcement. This includes announcements for pilot programs and one-time funding programs. A variety of public-facing documents are used to meet this requirement, including the Request for Applications (RFAs), Grants.gov announcements, and Notice of Award and Grant Agreement.


The Meat and Poultry Processing Infrastructure Grants are authorized by Section 1001(b)(4) of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) (Pub. L. No. 117—2), which funds “loans and grants and other assistance to maintain and improve food and agricultural supply chain resiliency.” This grant program will only be available as a one-time opportunity for eligible recipients due to limited remaining fund availability.


If successfully selected for an Infrastructure Grant Award, respondents are not expected to spend more than 25.8 hours completing the information required. Grant applicants are required to submit their information via Grants.gov. Information collected as part of this one-time grant program, outlined in the RFA, includes the grant narrative (application) and standardized Federal forms (for which information is collected through Grants.gov). Once grant recipients are determined, AMS uses the award agreement form as its Notice of Award and Grant Agreement (NOA) as the binding contract with the Federal award recipient. The NOA outlines additional post-award requirements by which award recipients must comply, including Terms and Conditions, Administrative and National Policy Requirements (2 CFR 200.300), performance and financial reporting (AMS requires annual reporting in alignment with 2 CFR 200.329), and final close-out reporting requirements. Burden for each form is outlined below and the forms are attached for reference, and AMS staff is available to assist applicants and recipients if they have questions pertaining to the required information.
