Interested parties are invited to submit proposals for the availability of approximately $1 million in competitive cooperative agreements to carry out "The Summary of Assistance Measures" of the Domestic Lamb Industry Adjustment Assistance Program. Approximately $3.85 million was previously awarded for proposals submitted under this program as announced in the Federal Register, Volume 65, Number 95, Tuesday, May 16, 2000. Funds have been made available through a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) and the National Sheep Industry Improvement Center (NSIIC) to be awarded in fiscal year (FY) 2001--with projects completed by FY 2002. AMS hereby request proposals for projects from eligible entities interested in applying for competitively awarded cooperative agreements for lamb meat marketing and promotion.
