[Doc. No. AMS–FV–14–0002; FV14–932–1 

FIR] 

Olives Grown in California; Decreased 

Assessment Rate 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Affirmation of interim rule as 

final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) is adopting, as a 

final rule, without change, an interim 

rule that decreased the assessment rate 

established for the California Olive 

Committee (Committee) for the 2014 

and subsequent fiscal years from $21.16 

to $15.21 per ton of assessable olives 

handled. The Committee locally 

administers the marketing order, which 

regulates the handling of olives grown 

in California. Assessments upon olive 

handlers are used by the Committee to 

fund reasonable and necessary expenses 

of the program. The fiscal year began 

January 1 and ends December 31. The 

assessment rate will remain in effect 

indefinitely unless modified, 

suspended, or terminated. 

DATES: Effective June 12, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

is issued under Marketing Agreement 

No. 148 and Order No. 932, both as 

amended (7 CFR part 932), regulating 

the handling of olives grown in 

California, hereinafter referred to as the 

‘‘order.’’ The order is effective under the 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 

of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601–674), 

hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Act.’’ 

The Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) is issuing this rule in 

conformance with Executive Orders 

12866, 13563, and 13175. 

Under the order, California olive 

handlers are subject to assessments, 

which provide funds to administer the 

order. Assessment rates issued under 

the order are intended to be applicable 

to all assessable California olives for the 

entire fiscal year and continue 

indefinitely until amended, suspended, 

or terminated. The Committee’s fiscal 

year began on January 1 and ends on 

December 31. 

In an interim rule published in the 

Federal Register on March 14, 2014, 

and effective on March 15, 2014, (79 FR 

14367, Doc. No. AMS–FV–14–0002, 

FV14–932–1 IR), § 932.230 was 

amended by decreasing the assessment 

rate established for California olives for 

the 2014 and subsequent fiscal years 

from $21.16 to $15.21 per ton of 

assessable olives. Income derived from 

handler assessments plus funds from 

the carryover reserve will be adequate to 

cover budgeted expenses. 

Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

Pursuant to requirements set forth in 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 

U.S.C. 601–612), the Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) has 

considered the economic impact of this 

rule on small entities. Accordingly, 

AMS has prepared this final regulatory 

flexibility analysis. 

The purpose of the RFA is to fit 

regulatory actions to the scale of 

businesses subject to such actions in 

order that small businesses will not be 

unduly or disproportionately burdened. 

Marketing orders issued pursuant to the 

Act, and the rules issued thereunder, are 

unique in that they are brought about 

through group action of essentially 

small entities acting on their own 

behalf. 

There are approximately 1,000 

producers of California olives in the 

production area and two handlers 

subject to regulation under the 

marketing order. Small agricultural 

producers are defined by the Small 

Business Administration as those 

having annual receipts of less than 

$750,000, and small agricultural service 

firms are defined as those whose annual 

receipts are less than $7,000,000 (13 

CFR 121.201). 

In addition, based on information 

provided by the industry and the 

California Agricultural Statistics 

Service, the average grower price for 

2013 was approximately $1,057.56 per 

ton of assessable olives, and total grower 

deliveries were 79,495 tons. Based on 

production, producer prices, and the 

total number of California olive 

producers, the average annual producer 

revenue is less than $750,000. In view 

of the foregoing, the majority of 

California olive producers may be 

classified as small entities. Neither of 

the two California olive handlers may be 

classified as small entities. 

This rule continues in effect the 

action that decreased the assessment 

rate established for the Committee and 

collected from handlers for the 2014 and 

subsequent fiscal years from $21.16 to 

$15.21 per ton of assessable olives. The 

Committee unanimously recommended 

2014 expenditures of $1,262,460. The 

quantity of assessable California olives 

for the 2013–14 season is 79,495 tons. 

However, the quantity of olives actually 

assessed is expected to be slightly lower 

because some of the tonnage may be 

diverted by handlers to exempt outlets 

on which assessments are not paid. 

Income derived from the assessment 

rate of $15.21 combined with carryover 

reserve funds should provide 

assessment income adequate to meet 

this year’s expenses. 

This rule continues in effect the 

action that decreased the assessment 

obligation imposed on handlers. 

Assessments are applied uniformly on 

all handlers, and some of the costs may 

be passed on to producers. However, 

decreasing the assessment rate reduces 


wreier-aviles on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with RULES
33420 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 112 / Wednesday, June 11, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

the burden on handlers and may reduce 

the burden on producers. 

In addition, the Committee’s meeting 

was widely publicized throughout the 

California olive industry, and all 

interested persons were invited to 

attend the meeting and participate in 

Committee deliberations on all issues. 

Like all Committee meetings, the 

December 9, 2013, meeting was a public 

meeting and all entities, both large and 

small, were able to express views on 

this issue. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), the order’s information 

collection requirements have been 

previously approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

assigned OMB No. 0581–0178, Generic 

Vegetable Crops. No changes in those 

requirements as a result of this action 

are anticipated. Should any changes 

become necessary, they would be 

submitted to OMB for approval. 

This action imposes no additional 

reporting or recordkeeping requirements 

on either of the two California olive 

handlers. As with all Federal marketing 

order programs, reports and forms are 

periodically reviewed to reduce 

information requirements and 

duplication by industry and public 

sector agencies. 

USDA has not identified any relevant 

Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or 

conflict with this rule. 

Comments on the interim rule were 

required to be received on or before May 

13, 2014. No comments were received. 

Therefore, for reasons given in the 

interim rule, we are adopting the 

interim rule as a final rule, without 

change. 

To view the interim rule, go to: 

http://www.regulations.gov/

#!documentDetail;D=AMS-FV-14-0002- 

0001. 

This action also affirms information 

contained in the interim rule concerning 

Executive Orders 12866, 12988, 13175, 

and 13563; the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35); and the EGov Act (44 U.S.C. 101). 

After consideration of all relevant 

material presented, it is found that 

finalizing the interim rule, without 

change, as published in the Federal 

Register (79 FR 14367, March 14, 2014) 

will tend to effectuate the declared 

policy of the Act.

Standard Instrument Approach 

Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums 

and Obstacle Departure Procedures; 

Miscellaneous Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, 

suspends, or revokes Standard 

Instrument Approach Procedures 

(SIAPs) and associated Takeoff 

Minimums and Obstacle Departure 

Procedures for operations at certain 

airports. These regulatory actions are 

needed because of the adoption of new 

or revised criteria, or because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System, such as the commissioning of 

new navigational facilities, adding new 

obstacles, or changing air traffic 

requirements. These changes are 

designed to provide safe and efficient 

use of the navigable airspace and to 

promote safe flight operations under 

instrument flight rules at the affected 

airports. 

DATES: This rule is effective June 11, 

2014. The compliance date for each 

SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, 

and ODP is specified in the amendatory 

provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of June 11, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

amends Title 14 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by 

establishing, amending, suspending, or 

revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums 

and/or ODPS. The complete regulators 

description of each SIAP and its 

associated Takeoff Minimums or ODP 

for an identified airport is listed on FAA 

form documents which are incorporated 

by reference in this amendment under 5 

U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 

CFR 97.20. The applicable FAA Forms 

are FAA Forms 8260–3, 8260–4, 8260– 

5, 8260–15A, and 8260–15B when 

required by an entry on 8260–15A. 

The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff 

Minimums and ODPs, in addition to 

their complex nature and the need for 

a special format make publication in the 

Federal Register expensive and 

impractical. Furthermore, airmen do not 

use the regulatory text of the SIAPs, 

Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead 

refer to their depiction on charts printed 

by publishers of aeronautical materials.
