Kiwifruit Grown in California; Change 

in Reporting Requirements and New 

Information Collection 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Proposed Rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule invites comments 

on proposed changes to the reporting 

requirements currently prescribed under 

the marketing order that regulates the 

handling of kiwifruit grown in 

California. The order is administered 

locally by the Kiwifruit Administrative 

Committee (Committee). This rule 

would require handlers to file two endof-season reports with the Committee. 

One report would contain price and 

handler shipment information and the 

other report would contain grower 

shipment information. The Committee 

would use this information to determine 

appropriate grower representation on 

the Committee, to conduct grower 

nominations, to verify shipments for 

assessment collections, and to prepare 

the annual report and the annual 

marketing policy, as required under the 

order. This proposal also announces the 

Agricultural Marketing Service’s (AMS) 

intention to request approval from 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) of a new information collection. 

DATES: Comments on the proposed 

rulemaking must be received by October 

11, 2011. Pursuant to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), 

comments on the information collection 

burden that would result from this 

proposal must be received by October 

11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal is issued under Marketing 

Order No. 920 as amended (7 CFR part 

920), regulating the handling of 

kiwifruit 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 Order 

12866. 

This proposal has been reviewed 

under Executive Order 12988, Civil 

Justice Reform. This rule is not intended 

to have retroactive effect. 

The Act provides that administrative 

proceedings must be exhausted before 

parties may file suit in court. Under 

section 608c(15)(A) of the Act, any 

handler subject to an order may file 

with USDA a petition stating that the 

order, any provision of the order, or any 

obligation imposed in connection with 

the order is not in accordance with law 

and request a modification of the order 

or to be exempted therefrom. A handler 

is afforded the opportunity for a hearing 

on the petition. After the hearing, USDA 

would rule on the petition. The Act 

provides that the district court of the 

United States in any district in which 

the handler is an inhabitant, or has his 

or her principal place of business, has 

jurisdiction to review USDA’s ruling on 

the petition, provided an action is filed 

not later than 20 days after the date of 

the entry of the ruling. 

This proposal invites comments on 

changes to the reporting requirements 

authorized under the order. This rule 

would add two new reporting 

requirements and two new forms to 

those currently specified in the order’s 

administrative rules and regulations. 

These changes would allow the 

Committee to collect annual, end-ofseason price, shipment, and grower 

information (grower entity/farm name, 

mailing address, location of farm by 

county, shipments by pack style, and 

acreage) from all kiwifruit handlers. 

Under this proposed regulation, both 

reports would be due from each handler 

within 30 days after such handler has 

completed current season shipments. 

The Committee would use this 

information to determine appropriate 

grower representation on the 

Committee, to conduct grower 

nominations, to verify shipments for 

assessment collections, and to prepare 

the annual report and the annual 

marketing policy, as required under the 

order. This proposal was unanimously 

recommended by the Committee at a 

meeting on March 17, 2011. 

Section 920.12 of the order defines 

the Districts within the production area, 

and Section 920.20 provides, in part, 

that ‘‘* * * district representation on 

the committee shall be based upon the 

previous five-year average production in 

the district and shall be established so 

as to provide an equitable relationship 

between membership and districts.’’ 

Section 920.22 of the order defines 

the nomination procedures, allowing for 

nominations to be conducted via mail, 

and provides that growers are eligible to 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 9, 2011 / Proposed Rules 48743 

participate in nominations in the 

district they produce kiwifruit. 

Section 920.34 of the order requires 

that the Committee prepare an annual 

report for presentation to the Secretary 

and the industry.’’ The annual report 

provides a cumulative review of 

industry statistics as well as information 

about program activities and 

expenditures. 

Section 920.41 of the order provides 

authority to assess each person who first 

handles kiwifruit a pro rata share of the 

expenses which are reasonable and 

likely to be incurred by the Committee 

during a fiscal period. 

Section 920.50 of the order requires 

the Committee to prepare an annual 

marketing policy for submission to the 

Secretary. The marketing policy 

describes expected kiwifruit production, 

quality, and marketing conditions. 

Along with other pertinent information, 

the marketing policy provides the basis 

for the recommendation of appropriate 

kiwifruit handling regulations for the 

upcoming season. 

Section 920.60 of the order authorizes 

the Committee to require handlers to file 

reports and provide other information as 

may be necessary for the Committee to 

perform these duties. 

Section 920.61 (Compliance) of the 

order provides that all handlers must 

conform to the provisions and 

regulations set forth in the order, and 

the Committee is to verify handler 

compliance with order provisions. 

The Committee’s current reporting 

requirements are specified in § 920.160 

of the order’s administrative rules and 

regulations. This section currently 

requires that handlers submit: (1) A 

report of shipment and inventory data 

which provides monthly data regarding 

the reporting period, name and 

identification of the shipper, and the 

number of containers by type and 

weight by shipment destination category 

of all kiwifruit; (2) a Kiwifruit Inventory 

Shipping System (KISS) form, which 

consists of three sections: KISS/Add 

Inventory, KISS/Deduct Inventory, and 

KISS/Shipment and which provides 

beginning inventory by size and 

container type, quantity of the fruit lost 

in repack or repacked into other 

container types, total domestic and 

export shipments by size and container 

type; and any other adjustments which 

increase or decrease handler inventory; 

(3) a Return Receipt of Kiwifruit to 

Grower Form which reports fruit 

returned by a handler to a grower(s); 

and (4) a KISS Price/Shipment report 

which contains handler information, 

reporting period, total fresh market 

shipments, and gross f.o.b. sales of nonorganic kiwifruit by pack style and size. 

Since 1984, the California Kiwifruit 

Commission (Commission) has collected 

end-of-season price, shipment, and 

grower information (grower entity/farm 

name, mailing address, location of farm 

by county, shipments by pack style, and 

acreage), on organic and non-organic 

kiwifruit via two Commission forms. 

The Commission has, through an 

agreement, shared this information with 

the Committee. The Committee 

previously used the majority of this 

information to determine appropriate 

grower representation on the 

Committee, to conduct grower 

nominations, to verify shipments for 

assessment collections, and to prepare 

the annual report and the annual 

marketing policy under the order. 

The Commission will cease to exist as 

of September 30, 2011. Thus, the 

Committee would no longer have access 

to this previously shared information. 

As the current reporting requirements, 

under the order, make no provisions for 

collecting end-of-season information 

previously provided by the 

Commission, and as the Committee 

would need this information from all 

handlers, to include organic handlers, 

the Committee unanimously 

recommended adding these new 

reporting requirements and two new 

forms, the End-of-Season F.O.B. Sales 

Report and the Final Packout Report, to 

§ 920.160 of the order’s administrative 

rules and regulations. 

Under the proposed change, § 920.160 

would be revised by adding two new 

reporting requirements and two new 

forms, due by each handler (organic and 

non-organic) within 30 days after such 

handler has completed current season 

shipments. Kiwifruit shipments 

generally begin in September and 

continue through July. The information 

collected on the End-of-Season F.O.B. 

Sales Report would include data on 

gross f.o.b. sales value and number of 

containers for fresh market shipments 

by fruit size and pack style for the 

season. The information collected on 

the Final Packout Report would include 

containers shipped by pack style for 

fresh market shipments, for each grower 

entity during the season. The report 

would also include the grower entity 

and farm name, mailing address, the 

county where the farm is located, and 

total acreage. Both reports would also 

show the company name, contact 

person, and phone number of the 

handler. The information obtained from 

both of the two new reports would 

provide data to determine appropriate 

representation on the Committee, to 

conduct grower nominations, to verify 

shipments for assessment collections, 

and to prepare the annual report and 

annual marketing policy. 

Section 8e of the Act provides that 

when certain domestically produced 

commodities, including kiwifruit, are 

regulated under a Federal marketing 

order, imports of that commodity must 

meet the same or comparable grade, 

size, quality, and maturity requirements. 

This rule would only change the 

reporting requirements under the 

domestic handling regulations. No 

changes to the import regulations would 

be made. 

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

Pursuant to requirements set forth in 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601–612) (RFA), the Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) has 

considered the economic impact of this 

action on small entities. Accordingly, 

AMS has prepared this initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis. 

The purpose of the RFA is to fit 

regulatory actions to the scale of 

business subject to such actions in order 

that small businesses will not be unduly 

or disproportionately burdened. 

Marketing orders issued pursuant to the 

Act, and rules issued thereunder, are 

unique in that they are brought about 

through group action of essentially 

small entities acting on their own 

behalf. 

Small agricultural service firms are 

defined by the Small Business 

Administration (SBA) (13 CFR 121.201) 

as those having annual receipts of less 

than $7,000,000, and small agricultural 

producers are defined as those having 

annual receipts of less than $750,000. 

Based on Committee data, there are 

approximately 27 handlers of kiwifruit 

subject to regulation under the 

marketing order and approximately 176 

kiwifruit growers in the production 

area. 

The California Agricultural Statistical 

Service (CASS) reported total California 

kiwifruit production for the 2009–10 

season at 26,000 tons with an average 

price of $1,470 per ton. Based on the 

average price, shipment, and grower 

information provided by the CASS and 

the Committee, it could be concluded 

that the majority of kiwifruit handlers 

would be considered small businesses 

under the SBA definition. In addition, 

based on kiwifruit production and price 

information, as well as the total number 

of California kiwifruit growers, the 

average annual grower revenue is less 

than $750,000. Thus, the majority of 

California kiwifruit producers may also 

be classified as small entities. 

This proposed rule would revise 

§ 920.160 by adding two new reporting 

requirements and two new forms, due 


jlentini on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
48744 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 153 / Tuesday, August 9, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

by handlers within 30 days after such 

handler has completed current season 

shipments. The information collected 

on the End-of-Season F.O.B. Sales 

Report would include data on gross 

f.o.b. sales value and number of 

containers for fresh market shipments 

by fruit size and pack style for the 

season. The information collected on 

the Final Packout Report would include 

containers shipped by pack style for 

fresh market shipments, for each grower 

entity during the season. The report 

would also include the grower entity 

and farm name, mailing address, the 

county where the farm is located, and 

total acreage. Both reports would also 

show the company name, contact 

person, and phone number of the 

handler. The information obtained from 

both of the two new reports would 

provide data to determine appropriate 

grower representation on the 

Committee, to conduct grower 

nominations, to verify shipments for 

assessment collections, and to prepare 

the annual report and annual marketing 

policy. This rule would revise 

§ 920.160, which specifies the reporting 

requirements. 

Requiring the price, shipment, and 

grower information at the end of the 

season would impose a minor increase 

in the reporting burden on all kiwifruit 

handlers. As this data was previously 

provided to the Commission and shared 

with the Committee, these two annual 

end-of-season reports would not 

significantly increase the handlers’ 

record keeping burden because the 

primary source of data is already being 

recorded and maintained by handlers as 

a routine part of their daily business. 

The majority of handlers use computers 

to record their data, and this 

information can readily be accessed and 

summarized for these reports. 

Consequently, any additional costs 

associated with these changes are 

expected to be minimal. Also, the 

benefits of having consolidated end-ofseason price, shipping, and grower data 

are expected to outweigh any costs 

associated with the increase in reporting 

burden. Further, the benefits of this rule 

are expected to be equally available to 

all industry members, regardless of their 

size. It is anticipated that the 

transmission of these reports from 

handlers to the Committee would be 

done by either e-mail or facsimile (Fax) 

machines. 

The Committee discussed alternatives 

to this action, including making no 

changes to the reporting requirements, 

but determined that in order to carry out 

the objectives of the marketing order, 

the information collected contained 

within these two new reports would be 

necessary. Therefore, this alternative 

was rejected. 

This proposal would establish two 

new reporting requirements and would 

also require two new Committee forms: 

the End-of-Season F.O.B. Sales Report 

and the Final Packout Report. Therefore, 

this proposed rule would impose a 

minor increase in the reporting burden 

equally on all handlers, which is 

discussed in the Paperwork Reduction 

Act section of this document. 

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. 

AMS is committed to complying with 

the E-Government Act, to promote the 

use of the Internet and other 

information technologies to provide 

increased opportunities for citizen 

access to Government information and 

services, and for other purposes. 

Further, the Committee’s meetings 

were widely publicized throughout the 

kiwifruit industry and all interested 

persons were invited to attend the 

meetings and participate in Committee 

deliberations on all issues. Like all 

Committee meetings, the March 17, 

2011, meeting was a public meeting and 

all entities, both large and small, were 

able to express views on this issue. 

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

MarketingOrdersSmallBusinessGuide. 

Any questions about the compliance 

guide should be sent to Laurel May at 

the previously mentioned address in the

section. 

A 60-day comment period is provided 

for interested persons to comment on 

this proposal. All written comments 

timely received will be considered 

before a final determination is made on 

this matter. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

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

chapter 35), this notice announces that 

AMS is requesting approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for a new information collection 

request, under OMB No. 0581–NEW. 

Upon approval of this new collection by 

OMB, it will be merged with the forms 

currently approved for use under OMB 

No. 0581–0189, Generic OMB Fruit 

Crops. 

Title: Kiwifruit Grown in California; 

Marketing Order No. 920. 

OMB Number: 0581–New. 

Type of Request: New collection. 

Abstract: The information collection 

requirements in this request are 

essential to carry out the intent of the 

Act, to provide the respondents the type 

of service they request, and to 

administer the California kiwifruit 

marketing order program, which has 

been operating since 1984. 

On March 17, 2011, the Committee 

unanimously recommended an End-ofSeason F.O.B. Sales Report and a Final 

Packout Report for all handlers to report 

end-of-season prices, shipment, and 

grower information. Information for 

these reports was previously collected 

by the Commission. This action 

concerns these reports, which would 

require the reports to be submitted to 

the Committee by handlers. Pursuant to 

§ 920.60(c), handlers would maintain 

records for at least two succeeding fiscal 

years to verify the data reported to the 

Committee on these reports. 

These forms would facilitate the 

collection of price, shipment, and 

grower information from all kiwifruit 

handlers and are titled End-of-Season 

F.O.B. Sales Report and Final Packout 

Report. The forms covered under this 

collection require the minimum 

information necessary to carry out the 

requirements of the order. The 

information collected would only be 

used by authorized representatives of 

the USDA, including AMS, Fruit and 

Vegetable Programs regional and 

headquarters staff, and authorized 

employees of the Committee. 

Authorized Committee employees 

would be the primary users of the 

information, and AMS would be the 

secondary user. The Committee’s staff 

would compile the information 

collected from handlers and use it to 

determine grower representation on the 

Committee, to conduct grower 

nominations, to verify shipments for 

assessment collections, and to prepare 

its annual report and annual marketing 

policy, as required under the order. All 

proprietary handler information would 

be kept confidential in accordance with 

the Act and order. 

The proposed request for a new 

information collection under the order 

is as follows: 

End-of-Season F.O.B. Sales Report 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to be no more than an 

average of 0.75 hours per response.

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (4) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on those who are to respond, including

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments should reference OMB No. 

0581–New and the Marketing Order for 

Kiwifruit Grown in California, and 

should be sent to the USDA in care of 

the Docket Clerk at the previouslymentioned address or at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments 

received will become a matter of public 

record and will be available for public 

inspection during regular business 

hours at the address of the Docket Clerk 

or at http://www.regulations.gov. 

Upon publication of the final rule, 

this collection will be merged with the 

forms currently approved for use under 

OMB No. 0581–0189 ‘‘Generic OMB 

Fruit Crops.’’

Compliance Date Regarding the Test 

Procedures for Walk-In Coolers and 

Freezers and the Certification for Metal 

Halide Lamp Ballasts and Fixtures 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NOPR). 

SUMMARY: This document clarifies the 

compliance date by which 

manufacturers must begin to use 

portions of a recently promulgated test 

procedure (i.e., the April 15, 2011 final 

rule) when certifying walk-in coolers 

and walk-in freezers. This document 

also proposes regulatory text changes to 

reflect U.S. Department of Energy’s 

(DOE) intent that only manufacturers of 

components of walk-in coolers and 

walk-in freezers are required to submit 

certification reports. Additionally, the 

NOPR proposes clarifications as to the 

types of test data needed to support the 

certification of compliance per DOE’s 

existing test procedures for walk-in 

coolers and walk-in freezers and the 

recently promulgated test procedure for 

this equipment. Finally, this document 

proposes to extend the compliance date 

for certification of metal halide lamp 

ballasts and fixtures. 

DATES: DOE will accept comments, data, 

and information regarding the notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NOPR) 

postmarked no later than August 30, 

2011. See section III, ‘‘Public 

Participation,’’ for details.
