Removal of U.S. Grade Standards 
AGENCY : Agricultural Marketing Service, 
USDA. 
ACTION : Interim final rule with request 
for comments. 
SUMMARY : This rule will remove seven 
voluntary U.S. grade standards and one 
consumer standard for fresh fruits and vegetables from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). This regulatory action is being taken as part of USDA’s work to eliminate regulations that are outdated, unnecessary, ineffective, or impose costs that exceed benefits. None of the eight voluntary standards slated for removal from the CFR are related to a current, active marketing order, import regulation, or export act. The cost of printing these eight standards in the CFR annually exceeds the benefits of further inclusion in the CFR. These voluntary standards and all subsequent revisions or new standards for these products will be available in a separate publication. The standards for the affected commodities will continue to be administered by the AMS Specialty Crops Inspection (SCI) Division and catalogued using the existing numbering system for voluntary standards. Any proposed, new, or revised voluntary standards will appear in the Federal Register with the opportunity for public 
comment. 
DATES : Effective February 1, 2019. 
Comments must be received April 2, 2019. 
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 date and page number of this issue of the Federal Register. All comments will be made available for public inspection in the above office during regular business hours, and can be viewed as submitted, including any personal information you provide, on the www.regulations.gov website. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : On 
February 24, 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order (E.O.) 13777, Enforcing the Regulatory Reform Agenda, which established a Federal policy to alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens on the American people. Section 3(d) of the E.O. directs each Federal agency to establish a Regulatory Reform Task Force to identify regulations that: (i) Eliminate jobs or inhibit job creation; (ii) are outdated, unnecessary, or ineffective; (iii) impose costs that exceed benefits; (iv) create serious inconsistencies or otherwise interfere with regulatory reform initiatives or policies; (v) are inconsistent with the requirements of section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 2001 (44 U.S.C. 3516 note), or the guidance issued pursuant to that provision; or (vi) derive from or implement Executive Orders or other Presidential directives that have been subsequently rescinded or substantially modified. 
This regulatory action is being taken 
as part of the Regulatory Reform Agenda to eliminate regulations that are outdated, unnecessary, ineffective, or impose costs that exceed benefits. 
Executive Orders 12866, 13771, and 
13563 
This rule does not meet the definition 
of a significant regulatory action contained in section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, and is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Additionally, because this rule does not meet the definition of a significant regulatory action it does not trigger the requirements contained in Executive Order 13771. See OMB’s Memorandum titled ‘‘Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the Executive Order of January 30, 2017, titled ‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling 
Regulatory Costs’ ’’ (February 2, 2017). Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. 
Executive Order 13175 
This rule has been reviewed in 
accordance with the requirements of 
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments. The review reveals that this regulation would not have 
substantial and direct effects on Tribal governments nor significant Tribal implications. 
Executive Order 12988 
This rule has been reviewed under 
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 
Reform. It is not intended to have retroactive effect. There are no administrative procedures that must be exhausted prior to any judicial challenge to the provisions of this rule. 
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 
This action was reviewed under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The administrator of 
AMS has determined that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Although this action will remove provisions from the CFR, small entities should see no change as the standards will continue to be administered to ensure their continued convenient availability and public input to their formulation. 
Background 
The Secretary of Agriculture is 
authorized to provide Federal grading 
and certification services, and to develop and establish efficient marketing methods and practices of agricultural commodities with the goal of facilitating the efficient marketing of agricultural commodities and allowing consumers to obtain the quality of products they desire at a reasonable 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:07 Jan 31, 2019 Jkt 247001 PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\01FER1.SGM 01FER1960 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 22 / Friday, February 1, 2019 / Rules and Regulations 
cost. 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627. For more than 
100 years, AMS has facilitated the marketing of agricultural commodities by developing official U.S. grade standards that provide a uniform language that may be used to describe the characteristics of more than 450 commodities. These standards are widely used in private contracts, government procurement, marketing 
communication, and, for some commodities, consumer information. 
Although use of most of the U.S. 
standards is voluntary, through the years, they have been promulgated as regulations and codified in the CFR. Rapid changes in consumer preferences, together with associated changes in commodity characteristics, processing technology, and marketing practices, 
have outpaced the process of revising and issuing regulations. As a result, in some instances, industry and the marketplace have been burdened with outdated trading language. The President’s Regulatory Reform Agenda has provided the impetus to develop new approaches to meet more effectively the needs of U.S. industry, government agencies, and consumers while reducing the regulatory burden. To meet this initiative, regulations that are currently in the CFR that could be administered under the authority of AMS are being removed from the CFR. This includes all official grade standards except those that currently are 
in the rulemaking process, incorporated by reference in marketing orders/ 
agreements appearing in 7 CFR parts 900 through 999, or used to implement government price supports. Those grade standards will continue to appear in the 
CFR although the text will also be available from AMS as are all other grade standards. 
This rule eliminates selected 
standards that comprise approximately 30 pages of the CFR covering U.S. and consumer standards for fresh fruits and vegetables. 
The following is an outline of 
standards being removed from the CFR, and those that will remain in the CFR and the reason they are not being removed.

To ensure that standards will 
continue to be developed, issued, and 
revised in accordance with procedures that ensure a fair and open process, all new and proposed revisions to existing AMS standards will be published in the Federal Register as a ‘‘Notice’’ with a public comment period. A final version of each standard also will be published in the Federal Register as a notice and will continue to be made available by AMS. 
In developing new or revising existing 
grade standards, the Administrator will consider three factors: (1) A new or revised standard must be needed to facilitate trade in a particular commodity; (2) there must be demonstrated interest and support from the affected industry or other interested parties for a voluntary standard; and, (3) the standard must be practical to use. 
Initial requests for development or 
revision of a standard may come from the industry, trade or consumer groups, State departments of agriculture, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or others. Once a request has been received, AMS coordinates procedures to gather information needed to move forward with the new or revised 
standard. After this process is completed, AMS publishes a notice of proposed standards in the Federal Register to solicit comments from 
interested parties (normally the comment period is 60 days). After evaluating the comments received from interested parties, AMS determines whether to proceed, develop a new proposal, or terminate the process. 
The public is informed of the outcome 
of the process through a notice to trade and a notice in the Federal Register. In addition, the AMS program that handles the commodity will distribute copies of each standard, upon request, as a pamphlet or other means. 
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, AMS has 
determined that it is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest to give preliminary notice prior to putting this rule into effect and that good cause exists for making it effective immediately because: (1) The standards are voluntary; (2) no changes are being made to the standards by this rule; (3) this action is in accordance with the President’s Regulatory Reform Agenda.
