Revision of Three U.S. Grade 
Standards for Carrots 
AGENCY : Agricultural Marketing Service, 
USDA. 
ACTION : Notice. 
SUMMARY : The Agricultural Marketing 
Service (AMS) of the Department of Agriculture (USDA) proposes to revise the U.S. Standards for Grades of Topped Carrots, U.S. Standards for Grades of Bunched Carrots, and U.S. Standards for Grades of Carrots with Short Trimmed Tops. AMS is proposing to add more U.S. No. 1 grades to accommodate carrots of colors other than orange, orange red, and orange scarlet. The current U.S. No. 1 grades would remain unchanged. In addition, AMS is proposing to remove the Unclassified section and renumber sections due to the additional grades. 
DATES : Comments must be submitted on 
or before March 30, 2020. 
ADDRESSES : Interested persons are 
invited to submit written comments to the USDA, Specialty Crops Inspection Division, 100 Riverside Parkway, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, VA 22406; fax: (540) 361–1199; or at www.regulations.gov. Comments should 
reference the dates and page number of 
this issue of the Federal Register. Comments will be posted without change, including any personal information provided. All comments received within the comment period will become part of the public record maintained by the Agency and will be made available to the public via www.regulations.gov. Comments will be 
made available for public inspection at the above address during regular business hours or can be viewed at: www.regulations.gov. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : 
Contact David G. Horner at the address above, by phone (540) 361–1128; fax (540) 361–1199; or, email Dave.Horner@usda.gov. Copies of the proposed U.S. 
Standards for Grades of Topped Carrots, U.S. Standards for Grades of Bunched Carrots, and U.S. Standards for Grades of Carrots with Short Trimmed Tops are available at http://www.regulations.gov. Copies of the current U.S. Standards for 
Grades of Topped Carrots, U.S. Standards for Grades of Bunched Carrots, and U.S. Standards for Grades of Carrots with Short Trimmed Tops are available on the Specialty Crops Inspection Division website at www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards/ vegetables. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : Section 
203(c) of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621–1627) as amended, directs and authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture ‘‘to develop and improve standards of quality, condition, quantity, grade, and packaging, and recommend and demonstrate such standards in order to encourage uniformity and consistency in commercial practices.’’ 
AMS is committed to carrying out this 
authority in a manner that facilitates the marketing of agricultural commodities and makes copies of official standards available upon request. The U.S. Standards for Grades of Fruits and Vegetables that no longer appear in the Code of Federal Regulations are maintained by AMS at: http://www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards. AMS is proposing revisions to these U.S. Standards for Grades using the procedures that appear in part 36 of Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations (7 CFR part 36).

Background 
AMS continually reviews all fruit and 
vegetable grade standards to ensure 
their usefulness to the industry, modernize language, and remove duplicative terminology. On December 22, 2008, AMS published a notice in the Federal Register (73 FR 78286) regarding revising the three U.S. grade standards for carrots to accommodate colors other than orange, orange red, and orange scarlet. The notice proposed revising the color section to allow carrots of any color characteristic of the variety to be graded using the standards. Also, the similar varietal characteristic requirement would have been amended to allow mixed colors and/or types 
when designated as a mixed or specialty pack. The industry as a whole opposed these revisions on the basis that non- orange carrots include heirloom carrots that may not have been bred for uniformity and may not have the same type of characteristics of orange carrots. 
After gathering more feedback from 
the industry, AMS developed additional grades to accommodate other colors. For the Topped Carrots, two new grades are U.S. No. 1 Color and U.S. No. 1 Jumbo Color. For the Bunched and Short Trimmed Carrots, the new grade is U.S. No. 1 Color. The current grades remain unchanged. The new grades are identical to the current grades except for the color requirement (the following tables summarize the proposed revisions). AMS spoke with several major U.S. 
carrot growers by telephone and 
emailed them a discussion paper on the proposed revisions. No one opposed the changes. 
In addition, AMS is proposing to 
remove the Unclassified section. AMS is removing this section in all standards as 
they are revised, as it is no longer considered necessary. The category was never a grade and only served to show no grade was applied to the lot. 
Finally, some sections would be 
renumbered due to the additional grades. 
The following tables summarizes the 
proposed revisions and provides rationale for any changes. 
Current Proposed Discussion 
U.S. Topped Carrot Standards 
§ 51.2360 U.S. Extra No. 1 .............................. § 51.2360 U.S. Extra No. 1 ........................... All remain unchanged. 
§ 51.2361 U.S. No. 1 ....................................... § 51.2361 U.S. No. 1.
§ 51.2362 U.S. No. 1 Jumbo ........................... § 51.2362 U.S. No. 1 Jumbo.
§ 51.2363 U.S. No. 1 Color and U.S. No. 1 
Jumbo Color.
‘‘U.S. No. 1 Color’’ or ‘‘U.S. No. 1 Jumbo 
Color’’ consists of carrots which meet the 
requirements of the U.S. No. 1 or U.S. No. 1 Jumbo grades except for fairly well col-ored. All roots must show good char-acteristic color, which means the root has a uniform characteristic color for the variety over practically the entire surface. Roots may be comingled with varieties of different colors, provided roots are of the same type. (See § 51.2365.) Additional grades, U.S. No. 1 Color and U.S. 
No. 1 Jumbo Color, are proposed to ac-commodate other colors. The U.S. No. 1 Color and U.S. No. 1 Jumbo Color grades are identical to the U.S. No. 1 and U.S. No. 1 Jumbo grades, except for the color re-quirement. The new grades will ensure all grades are premium quality, will provide greater flexibility, and will bring the stand-ards in line with current marketing trends. 
§ 51.2363 U.S. No. 2 ....................................... § 51.2364 U.S. No. 2 ..................................... Remains the same except section number 
changes from 51.2363 to 51.2364. The U.S. No. 2 grade does not have any color re-quirements. In addition, carrots of other col-ors, such as maroon, tend to be specialty pack products and generally would not be sold as U.S. No. 2. Therefore, no U.S. No. 2 Color grade is proposed. 
§ 51.2364 Unclassified .....................................‘‘Unclassified’’ consists of carrots which have 
not been classified in accordance with any of the foregoing grades. The term ‘‘unclassified’’ is not a grade within the meaning of these standards, but is provided as a designation to show that no grade has been applied to the lot Removed .......................................................... AMS is removing this section in all standards 
as they are revised, as it is no longer con-sidered necessary. The category was never a grade and only served to show no grade was applied to the lot. 
§ 51.2365 Tolerances .......................................(2) U.S. No. 1 and U.S. No. 1 Jumbo grades. 
Ten percent for carrots in any lot which fail to meet the requirements of the grade: Pro-vided, That not more than one-half of this amount, or 5 percent, shall be allowed for de-fects causing serious damage, including therein not more than 2 percent for carrots affected by soft rot § 51.2365 Tolerances ....................................(2) U.S. No. 1, U.S. No. 1 Jumbo, U.S. No. 1 
Color, and U.S. No. 1 Jumbo Color grades. Ten percent for carrots in any lot which fail to meet the requirements of the grade: Pro-vided, That not more than one-half of this amount, or 5 percent, shall be allowed for defects causing serious damage, including therein not more than 2 percent for carrots affected by soft rot The proposed U.S. No. 1 Color and U.S. No. 
1 Jumbo Color grades have the same toler-ances as the other grades in this section, which all remain unchanged. 
U.S. Bunched Carrot Standards 
§ 51.2455 U.S. No. 1 ....................................... § 51.2455 U.S. No. 1 ..................................... Remains unchang ed.

Current Proposed Discussion 
§ 51.2456 U.S. No. 1 Color ...........................
‘‘U.S. No. 1 Color’’ consists of carrots which 
meet the requirements of U.S. No. 1 except for fairly well colored. All roots must show good characteristic color, which means the root has a uniform characteristic color for the variety over practically the entire sur-face. Roots may be comingled with vari-eties of different colors, provided roots are of the same type An additional grade, U.S. No. 1 Color, is pro-
posed to accommodate other colors. The U.S. No. 1 Color is identical to the U.S. No. 1 grade, except for the color requirement. The new grade will ensure all grades are premium quality, will provide greater flexi-bility, and will bring the standards in line with current marketing trends. 
§ 51.2456 U.S. Commercial ............................. § 51.2457 U.S. Commercial ........................... Remains the same except section number 
changes from 51.2456 to 51.2457. Carrots of other colors, such as maroon, tend to be specialty pack products and generally would not be sold as U.S. Commercial, so no U.S. Commercial Color grade is pro-posed. 
§ 51.2457 Unclassified .....................................‘‘Unclassified’’ consists of carrots which have 
not been classified in accordance with either of the foregoing grades. The term ‘‘unclassi-fied’’ is not a grade within the meaning of these standards, but is provided as a des-ignation to show that no grade has been ap-plied to the lot Removed .......................................................... AMS is removing this section in all standards 
as they are revised, as it is no longer con-sidered necessary. The category was never a grade and only served to show no grade was applied to the lot. 
U.S. Short Trimmed Carrot Standards 
§ 51.2485 U.S. No. 1 ....................................... § 51.2485 U.S. No. 1 ..................................... Remains unchang ed. 
§ 51.2486 U.S. No. 1 Color ...........................‘‘U.S. No. 1 Color’’ consists of carrots which

§ 51.2486 U.S. Commercial ............................. § 51.2487 U.S. Commercial ........................... Remains the same except section number 
changes from 51.2486 to 51.2487. Carrots of other colors, such as maroon, tend to be specialty pack products and generally would not be sold as U.S. Commercial, so no U.S. Commercial Color grade is pro-posed. 
§ 51.2487 Unclassified .....................................‘‘Unclassified’’ consists of carrots which have

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Comments Invited 
The FAA invites you to send any 
written relevant data, views, or arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed under the 
ADDRESSES section. Include 
‘‘Docket No. FAA–2019–1008; Product Identifier AD–2019–00110–P’’ at the beginning of your comments. The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this NPRM. The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this NPRM because of those comments. 
Except for Confidential Business 
Information as described in the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR 11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to https://www.regulations.gov, including any 
personal information you provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM. 
Confidential Business Information 
Confidential Business Information 
(CBI) is commercial or financial 
information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial or financial information that is customarily treated 
as private, that you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing CBI as ‘‘PROPIN.’’ The FAA will treat such marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Maureen Maisttison, Aerospace Engineer, Boston ACO Branch, FAA, 1200 District Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking. 
Discussion 
The FAA received a report of the 
separation of a 54H60 model propeller 
blade installed on a United States Marine Corps Reserve KC–130T airplane during a flight in July 2017. The separation of the blade resulted in the loss of the airplane and 17 fatalities. The investigation of this event revealed the Hamilton Sundstrand 54H60 model propeller blade separated due to corrosion that was not corrected at the 
last propeller overhaul. The investigation further revealed that 54H60 model propeller blades manufactured before 1971 are susceptible to this unsafe condition. The applicability of this AD is therefore limited to those Hamilton Sundstrand 54H60 model propellers blades with a blade serial number below 813320, which are those propeller blades manufactured before 1971. This condition, if not addressed, could result in failure of the propeller blade, blade separation, and loss of the airplane. 
Related Service Information Under 1 
CFR Part 51 
The FAA reviewed Hamilton 
Sundstrand Corporation Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 54H60–61–A154, dated August 26, 2019. The ASB describes procedures for performing an ECI of the propeller blade taper bore. This service information is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by the means identified in the 
ADDRESSES section.
