Oranges, Grapefruit, Tangerines, and 

Tangelos Grown in Florida; Relaxing 

Grade Requirements on Valencia and 

Other Late Type Oranges 

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 changed the minimum grade 

requirements prescribed under the 

marketing order for oranges, grapefruit, 

tangerines, and tangelos grown in 

Florida (order). The interim rule 

reduced the minimum grade 

requirement for Valencia and other late 

type oranges shipped to interstate 

markets from a U.S. No. 1 to a U.S. No. 

1 Golden from May 15 through June 14 

each season and to a U.S. No.2 external/ 

U.S. No. 1 internal from June 15 through 

August 31 each season. This rule 

provides additional Valencia and other 

late type oranges for late season 

markets, helping to maximize fresh 

shipments. 

DATES: Effective October 1, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

is issued under Marketing Order No. 

905, as amended (7 CFR part 905), 

regulating the handling of oranges, 

grapefruit, tangerines, and tangelos 

grown in Florida, 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. 

The handling of oranges, grapefruit, 

tangerines, and tangelos grown in 

Florida is regulated by 7 CFR part 905. 

Prior to this change, the minimum grade 

requirement for Valencia and other late 

type oranges was a U.S. No. 1 from 

August 1 through June 14 each season 

and a U.S. No. 2 external/U.S. No. 1 

internal from June 15 through July 31 

each season. The Committee reviewed 

the effects of a temporary grade change 

for the 2012–13 season and concluded 

that the change had provided handlers 

the opportunity to sell additional fruit 

without affecting overall consumer 

demand for Valencia and other late type 

oranges. Consequently, the Committee 

recommended continuing the relaxation 

in the minimum grade for the 2013–14 

season and subsequent seasons. 

Therefore, this rule continues in effect 

the rule that reduced the minimum 

grade requirement for Valencia and 

other late type oranges shipped to 

interstate markets from a U.S. No. 1 to 

a U.S. No. 1 Golden from May 15 

through June 14 each season and to a 

U.S. No. 2 external/U.S. No. 1 internal 

from June 15 through August 31 each 

season. 

In an interim rule published in the 

Federal Register on May 28, 2014, and 

effective on May 23, 2014, (79 FR 30439, 

Doc. No. AMS–FV–14–0041, FV14–905– 

2 IR), § 905.306 was amended by 

changing the minimum grade 

requirement for Valencia and other late

type oranges shipped to interstate 

markets from a U.S. No. 1 to a U.S. No. 

1 Golden from May 15 through June 14 

each season and to a U.S. No. 2 

external/U.S. No. 1 internal from June 

15 through August 31 each season. 

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 

action 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 30 Valencia 

and other late type orange handlers 

subject to regulation under the 

marketing order and approximately 750 

producers of citrus in the production 

area. Small agricultural service firms are 

defined by the Small Business 

Administration (SBA) as those whose 

annual receipts are less than $7,000,000, 

and small agricultural producers are 

defined as those having annual receipts 

less than $750,000 (13 CFR 121.201). 

Based on industry and Committee 

data, the average f.o.b. price for fresh 

Valencia and other late type oranges 

during the 2012–13 season was 

approximately $11.80 per 4/5 bushel 

carton, and total fresh shipments were 

approximately 3.6 million cartons. 

Using the average f.o.b. price and 

shipment data, the majority of Florida 

Valencia and other late type orange 

handlers could be considered small 

businesses under SBA’s definition. In 

addition, the average annual grower 

revenue is below $750,000 based on 

production data, grower prices as 

reported by NASS, and the total number 

of Florida citrus growers. Thus, 

assuming a normal distribution, the 

majority of Valencia and other late type 

orange handlers and producers may be 

classified as small entities. 

This rule continues in effect the 

action that reduced the grade 

requirements for Valencia and other late 

type oranges prescribed under the order. 

This rule reduces the minimum grade 

requirements of Valencia and other late 

type oranges from a U.S. No. 1 to a U.S. 

No. 1 Golden from May 15 through June 

14 each season and to a U.S. No. 2 

external/U.S. No. 1 internal from June 

15 through August 31 each season. 

Authority for these changes is provided 

in § 905.52. 

This action does not impose any 

additional costs on the industry. 

However, it is anticipated that this 

action will have a beneficial impact. 

Reducing the grade requirements for 

Valencia and other late type oranges 

from May 15 through August 31 makes 

additional fruit available for shipment 

to the fresh market, providing the 

opportunity to supply late season 

markets. The Committee believes that 

relaxing the grade requirements 

provides an outlet for fruit that may 

otherwise go unharvested. This allows 

more fruit to be shipped to the fresh 

market and increases returns to both 

handlers and growers. The benefits of 

this rule are expected to be equally 

available to all fresh citrus growers and 

handlers, regardless of their size. 

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. 0581–0189, Generic 

Fruit Crops. No changes in those 

requirements as a result of this action 

are necessary. Should any changes 

become necessary, they would be 

submitted to OMB for approval. 

This rule will not impose any 

additional reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements on either small or large 

Florida citrus 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. In 

addition, USDA has not identified any 

relevant Federal rules that duplicate, 

overlap, or conflict with this rule. 

Further, the Committee meeting was 

widely publicized throughout the 

Florida citrus industry, and all 

interested persons were invited to 

attend the meeting and participate in 

Committee deliberations. Like all 

Committee meetings, the April 3, 2014, 

meeting was a public meeting, and all 

entities, both large and small, were able 

to express their views on this issue. 

Comments on the interim rule were 

required to be received on or before July 

28, 2014. No comments were received. 

Therefore, for the 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-14-0041- 

0001. 

This action also affirms information 

contained in the interim rule concerning 

Executive Orders 12866, 12988, 13175, 

and 13563; the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (4 U.S.C. Chapter 35); and the E-Gov 

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 30439, May 28, 2014) 

will tend to effectuate the declared 

policy of the Act.
