2844 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2000 / Rules and Regulations

have been previously approved by the

Office of Management and Budget under

OMB No. 0581–0178. The forms require

information which is readily available

from handler records and which can be

provided without data processing

equipment or trained statistical staff. As

with other marketing order programs,

reports and forms are periodically

reviewed to reduce or eliminate

duplicate information collection

burdens by industry and public sector

agencies. This interim final rule does

not change those requirements. In

addition, the Department has not

identified any relevant Federal rules

that duplicate, overlap or conflict with

this regulation.

Further, the Board’s meeting was

widely publicized throughout the

hazelnut industry and all interested

persons were invited to attend the

meeting and participate in Board

deliberations. Like all Board meetings,

the November 15, 1999, meeting was a

public meeting and all entities, both

large and small, were able to express

their views on this issue. The Board

itself is composed of 10 members, of

which 4 are handlers, 5 are producers,

and one is a public member. Finally,

interested persons are invited to submit

information on the regulatory and

informational impacts of this action on

small businesses.

A small business guide on complying

with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop

marketing agreements and orders may

be viewed at the following website:

http://www.ams.usda.gov/fv/

moab.html. Any questions about the

compliance guide should be sent to Jay

Guerber at the previously mentioned

address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section.

After consideration of all relevant

material presented, including the

Board’s recommendation, and other

information, it is found that this interim

final rule, as hereinafter set forth, will

tend to effectuate the declared policy of

the Act.

Any comments received will be

considered prior to finalization of this

rule.

Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, it is also

found and determined, upon good

cause, 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 not postponing the

effective date of this action until 30 days

after publication in the Federal Register

because: (1) The 1999–2000 marketing

year began July 1, 1999, and the

percentages established herein apply to

all merchantable hazelnuts handled

from the beginning of the crop year; (2)

handlers are aware of this rule, which

was recommended at an open Board

meeting, and need no additional time to

comply with this rule; and (3) interested

persons are provided a 60-day comment

period in which to respond, and all

comments timely received will be

considered prior to finalization of this

action.
