Service, Department of Agriculture (USDA).

ACTION: Notice; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and the Rural Business-
Cooperative Service (RBCS or the Agency) published a Funding 
Opportunity Announcement (FOA) in the Federal Register of August 23, 
2022, entitled Higher Blends Infrastructure Incentive Program (HBIIP) 
to announce that it was accepting applications for fiscal year 2022 (FY 
22) and the availability of approximately $100 million in competitive 
grants. In addition, the FOA defined requirements that are determined 
at the time a funding announcement is published, as outlined in the 
regulation. The FOA omitted clarifying information regarding eligible 
applicants for the funding. The Eligible Applicants section is being 
updated to clarify that hybrid applications, or those including 
transportation fueling facility implementation activities and fuel 
distribution facilities implementation activities, are ineligible. This 
Notice clarifies that applicants can only apply for one of the two 
applicant types and those successful applicants will only receive the 
funding associated with one applicant type.
