{"abstract":"Section 7101 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 requires the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) to establish a process through which institutions may apply for designation as a NLGCA. Designation as a NLGCA is one way an institution may qualify to receive an exemption from the new matching fund requirement described in Section 7128 of the Agricultural Act of 2014. NLGCA designation also satisfies the eligibility requirement for the Capacity Building Grants for Non-Land Grant Colleges of Agriculture program, which is authorized under 7 U.S.C. 3319i. This notice outlines the criteria to qualify for NLGCA designation and the steps to obtain such designation. Additionally, McIntire- Stennis and Hispanic-serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities may opt out of their current designation and request NLGCA designation.","action":"Notice.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"National Institute of Food and Agriculture","name":"National Institute of Food and Agriculture","id":350,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-institute-of-food-and-agriculture","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/350","parent_id":12,"slug":"national-institute-of-food-and-agriculture"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2014/05/22/2014-11851.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"79 FR 29398","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":null,"disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2014-11851","effective_on":null,"end_page":29398,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2014/05/22/2014-11851.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/05/22/2014-11851/process-for-non-land-grant-college-of-agriculture-nlgca-designation","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2014-11851?publication_date=2014-05-22","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2014-05-22/2014-11851/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":1,"page_views":{"count":1184,"last_updated":"2026-07-27 22:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2014-05-22/pdf/2014-11851.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2014-11851.pdf?1400685946","publication_date":"2014-05-22","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2014/05/22/2014-11851.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Regulations for Grants and Agreements; Update of Citations","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0147"},{"title":"Requests for Nominations: Veterinary Shortage Situations; Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0132"},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals: Intent to Revise Currently Approved Information Collection","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0126"},{"title":"Matching Funds Requirements for Agricultural Research and Extension Capacity Funds at 1890 Land-Grant Institutions and 1862 Land-Grant Institutions in Insular Areas","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0124"},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0104"},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0101"},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0093"},{"title":"Hispanic-Serving Agricultural Colleges and Universities","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0092"},{"title":"Applications: Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0075"},{"title":"Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions, and Approvals","document_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001-0073"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=NIFA_FRDOC_0001","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"NIFA_FRDOC_0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Recently Posted NIFA Rules and Notices.","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2014-06-11T08:10:21Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":29398,"subtype":null,"title":"Process for Non-Land Grant College of Agriculture (NLGCA) Designation","toc_doc":"Process for Non-Land Grant College of Agriculture Designation","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":79}
