Oranges and Grapefruit Grown in 

Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas and 

Imported Oranges; Change in Size 

Requirements for Oranges 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Interim rule with request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: This rule relaxes the 

minimum size currently prescribed for 

oranges under the marketing order for 

oranges and grapefruit grown in Lower 

Rio Grande Valley in Texas (order). The 

order is administered locally by the 

Texas Valley Citrus Committee 

(Committee). The corresponding change 

in the orange import regulation is 

required under section 8e of the 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 

of 1937. This rule relaxes the minimum 

size requirement for oranges from 2–6/ 

16 inches to 2–3/16 inches in diameter. 

This rule will provide additional 

oranges to meet market demand, helping 

to maximize fresh shipments. 

DATES: Effective March 1, 2014; 

comments received by April 29, 2014 

will be considered prior to issuance of 

a final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

is issued under Marketing Agreement 

and Order No. 906, as amended (7 CFR 

Part 906), regulating the handling of 

oranges and grapefruit grown in the 

Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas, 

hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘order.’’ 

The order is effective under the 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
11298 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 40 / Friday, February 28, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

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

hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Act.’’ 

This rule is also issued under section 

8e of the Act, which provides that 

whenever certain specified 

commodities, including oranges, are 

regulated under a Federal marketing 

order, imports of these commodities 

into the United States are prohibited 

unless they meet the same or 

comparable grade, size, quality, or 

maturity requirements as those in effect 

for the domestically produced 

commodities. 

The Department of Agriculture 

(USDA) is issuing this rule in 

conformance with Executive Orders 

12866, 13175, and 13563. 

This rule 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. 

There are no administrative 

procedures which must be exhausted 

prior to any judicial challenge to the 

provisions of import regulations issued 

under section 8e of the Act. 

This rule relaxes the minimum size 

requirement for oranges prescribed 

under the order. This rule relaxes the 

minimum size requirement for oranges 

from 2–6/16 inches to 2–3/16 inches in 

diameter. This rule will provide 

additional oranges to meet market 

demand and will help maximize fresh 

shipments. This change was 

unanimously recommended by the 

Committee at a meeting on December 

11, 2013. 

Section 906.40 of the order provides, 

in part, authority to establish minimum 

size requirements for Texas citrus. 

Section 906.340 of the rules and 

regulations includes Table I that 

specifies the numerical size 

designations and diameters used to 

delineate the available pack sizes for 

oranges. Section 906.365 specifies the 

minimum size requirement for fresh 

shipments of Texas oranges. Minimum 

grade and size requirements for oranges 

imported into the United States are 

currently in effect under § 944.312. 

At its meeting, the Committee 

discussed the impact the recent freeze 

in California had on the orange crop and 

agreed the freeze had reduced the 

amount of fruit available for shipment to 

the fresh market. They also discussed 

the decline in citrus production in 

Florida caused by citrus greening and 

other diseases. The Committee believes 

this creates a shortage of fruit available 

to supply the fresh fruit market, which 

the Texas citrus growers and handlers 

should fill. The Committee noted that 

additional fruit was available from the 

Texas citrus industry. However, the fruit 

is smaller in size and would not meet 

the order’s current size requirements. 

The Committee also recognized that 

consumers are now showing a 

preference for smaller-sized fruit. The 

Committee believes relaxing the 

requirements would make more fruit 

available to fill the market shortfall 

caused by the decline in production of 

oranges from other growing regions and 

provide smaller-sized fruit to meet 

consumer demand. 

Consequently, to make more fruit 

available for shipment to the fresh 

market and to meet consumer demand, 

the Committee recommended a 

relaxation of the size requirements for 

oranges. This rule changes the 

minimum size requirement for oranges 

from 2–6/16 inches (size 138) to 2–3/16 

inches (size 163) in diameter. This rule 

also adds size 163 to the available pack 

sizes for oranges listed under Table I in 

§ 906.340, as well as adding language 

concerning pack and sizing 

requirements as appropriate. 

The Committee believes relaxing the 

size requirement will make more fruit 

available to meet market demand, 

helping to maximize fresh shipments 

and increasing returns to growers and 

handlers. 

Section 8e of the Act provides that 

when certain domestically produced 

commodities, including oranges, are 

regulated under a Federal marketing 

order, imports of that commodity must 

meet the same or comparable grade, 

size, quality, and maturity requirements. 

Since this rule changes the minimum 

size requirement under the domestic 

handling regulations for oranges, a 

corresponding change to the import 

regulations must also be considered. 

Minimum grade and size 

requirements for oranges imported into 

the United States are currently in effect 

under § 944.312. Section 944.312(i) of 

the Fruit Import Regulations specifies 

that oranges imported into the United 

States are in most direct competition 

with oranges produced in the area 

covered by Marketing Order No. 906. 

This change relaxes the minimum size 

requirement for imported oranges from 

2–6/16 inches to 2–3/16 inches. The 

relaxation in the minimum size 

requirement also has a beneficial impact 

for importers of oranges. This change 

allows a smaller-sized orange to be 

shipped to the United States, thereby 

increasing the amount of fruit available 

for shipment to the fresh market, thus 

benefiting importers. 

Initial 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 initial 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. Import regulations issued under 

the Act are based on those established 

under Federal marketing orders. 

There are 13 registered handlers of 

Texas citrus who are subject to 

regulation under the marketing order 

and approximately 150 producers of 

oranges in the regulated area. There are 

approximately 220 importers of oranges. 

Small agricultural service firms, which 

include handlers and importers, are 

defined by the Small Business 

Administration (SBA) 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 (13 CFR 121.201). 

According to data from the National 

Agricultural Statistics Service and the 

industry and Committee, the average 

f.o.b. price for Texas oranges during the 

2012–13 season was $25.30 per box, and 

total fresh orange shipments were 

approximately 1.5 million boxes. Using 

the average f.o.b. price and shipment 

data, the majority of Texas orange 

handlers could be considered small 

businesses under SBA’s definition. In 

addition, based on production data, 

grower prices, and the total number of 

Texas citrus growers, the average annual 

grower revenue is below $750,000. 

Information from the Foreign 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 40 / Friday, February 28, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 11299 

Agricultural Service, USDA, indicates 

that the dollar value of imported fresh 

oranges ranged from approximately 

$71.2 million in 2008 to $107.4 million 

in 2012. Using these values, most 

importers would have annual receipts of 

less than $7,000,000 for oranges. Thus, 

the majority of handlers, producers, and 

importers of oranges may be classified 

as small entities. 

Chile, South Africa, Mexico, and 

Australia are the major orangeproducing countries exporting oranges 

to the United States. In 2012, shipments 

of oranges imported into the United 

States totaled around 119,000 metric 

tons. Of that amount, 51,510 metric tons 

were imported from Chile, 35,960 

metric tons were imported from South 

Africa, 17,421 metric tons were 

imported from Mexico, and 11,100 

metric tons arrived from Australia. 

This rule relaxes the minimum size 

requirement for oranges covered under 

the order from 2–6/16 inches (size 138) 

to 2–3/16 inches (size 163) and makes 

a corresponding change to the orange 

import regulation. This change is 

expected to make additional fruit 

available for shipment to the fresh 

market, maximize shipments, provide 

additional returns to handlers and 

growers, and respond to consumer 

demand for small-sized fruit. Authority 

for this change is provided in § 906.40. 

This rule amends the provisions in 

§§ 906.340, 906.365, and 944.312. The 

Committee unanimously recommended 

this change at its December 11, 2013, 

meeting. The change in the import 

regulation is required under section 8e 

of the Act. 

This action is not expected to increase 

the costs associated with the order’s 

requirements or the orange import 

regulation. Rather, it is anticipated that 

this action will have a beneficial impact. 

Reducing the size requirement will 

make additional fruit available for 

shipment to the fresh market. The 

Committee believes that this will 

provide additional fruit to fill the 

shortage caused by the reduced amount 

of fruit available from other growing 

regions and will provide the 

opportunity to fulfill growing consumer 

demand for smaller sized fruit. This 

action will also provide an outlet for 

fruit that may otherwise go unharvested, 

maximizing fresh shipments and 

increasing returns to handlers and 

growers. The benefits of this rule are 

expected to be equally available to all 

fresh orange growers, handlers, and 

importers, regardless of their size. 

An alternative to this action would be 

to maintain the current minimum 

requirements for domestic shipments of 

oranges. However, leaving the 

requirements unchanged would not 

make any additional fruit available nor 

would it provide smaller-sized fruit to 

meet consumer demand. Therefore, this 

alternative was rejected. 

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 

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. 

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. 

In addition, USDA has not identified 

any relevant Federal rules that 

duplicate, overlap or conflict with this 

rule. 

Further, the Committee’s meeting was 

widely publicized throughout the Texas 

citrus industry and all interested 

persons were invited to attend the 

meeting and participate in Committee 

deliberations. Like all Committee 

meetings, the December 11, 2013, 

meeting was a public meeting and all 

entities, both large and small, were able 

to express their views on this issue. 

Finally, interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on this interim rule, 

including 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 Jeffrey Smutny 

at the previously mentioned address in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. 

This rule invites comments on 

changes to the size requirements for 

oranges currently prescribed under the 

marketing order for oranges and 

grapefruit grown in Lower Rio Grande 

Valley in Texas and imported oranges. 

Any comments received will be 

considered prior to finalization of this 

rule. 

After consideration of all relevant 

material presented, including the 

Committee’s recommendation, and 

other information, it is found that this 

interim rule, as hereinafter set forth, 

will tend to effectuate the declared 

policy of the Act. 

In accordance with section 8e of the 

Act, the United States Trade 

Representative has concurred with the 

issuance of this interim 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 rule until 30 days after

because: (1) The shipping season for 

oranges has already started; (2) this 

action relaxes current size requirements; 

(3) the Committee unanimously 

recommended this change at a public 

meeting and interested parties had an 

opportunity to provide input; and (4) 

this rule provides a 60-day comment 

period and any comments received will

this rule.
