that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with 

this proposed 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. 

In addition, the Committee’s meeting 

was widely publicized throughout the 

spearmint oil industry and all interested 

persons were invited to attend the 

meeting and participate in Committee 

deliberations on all issues. Like all 

Committee meetings, the October 12, 

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 comments on this proposed 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: www.ams.usda.gov/ 

MarketingOrdersSmallBusinessGuide. 

Any questions about the compliance 

guide should be sent to Laurel May at 

the previously mentioned address in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. 

A 30-day comment period is provided 

to allow interested persons to respond 

to this proposed rule. Thirty days is 

deemed appropriate because: (1) The 

2012–2013 fiscal period begins on June 

1, 2012, and a final determination on 

the salable quantities and allotment 

percentages should be made prior to 

handlers purchasing from, or handling 

on behalf of, producers any oil for the 

ensuing marketing year; and (2) 

handlers are aware of this action, which 

was recommended by the Committee at 

a public meeting and is similar to other 

salable quantities and allotment 

percentages issued in past years. 

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 985 

Marketing agreements, Oils and fats, 

Reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements, Spearmint oil. 

For the reasons set forth in the 

preamble, 7 CFR part 985 is proposed to 

be amended as follows: 

PART 985—MARKETING ORDER 

REGULATING THE HANDLING OF 

SPEARMINT OIL PRODUCED IN THE 

FAR WEST 

1. The authority citation for 7 CFR 

part 985 continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 601–674. 

2. A new § 985.231 is added to read 

as follows:

percentages—2012–2013 marketing year. 

The salable quantity and allotment 

percentage for each class of spearmint 

oil during the marketing year beginning 

on June 1, 2012, shall be as follows: 

(a) Class 1 (Scotch) oil—a salable 

quantity of 782,413 pounds and an 

allotment percentage of 38 percent. 

(b) Class 3 (Native) oil—a salable 

quantity of 1,162,473 pounds and an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 24, 2012, DOE published a 

Federal Register notice announcing the 

availability of its preliminary technical 

support document for energy 

conservation standards for automatic 

commercial ice makers, as well as a 

public meeting to discuss and receive 

comment on the preliminary analysis. 

77 FR 3404. The NOPM provides for the 

submission of comments by March 9, 

2012. The public meeting to discuss the 

preliminary analysis was held on 

February 16, 2012. At the public 

meeting, commenters requested that 

DOE provide additional information not 

contained in the preliminary technical 

support document. DOE agreed to 

provide the additional information. In 

addition, DOE received several requests 

for an extension to the comment period 

to review this additional information. 

Therefore, DOE has determined that an 

extension of the public comment period 

is appropriate to allow for the review of 

the additional information, and is 

hereby extending the comment period. 

DOE will consider any comments 

received by April 22, 2012 to be timely. 

Further Information on Submitting 

Comments 

Under 10 CFR 1004.11, any person 

submitting information that he or she 

believes to be confidential and exempt 

by law from public disclosure should 

submit two copies: One copy of the 

document including all the information 

believed to be confidential, and one 

copy of the document with the 

information believed to be confidential 

deleted. DOE will make its own 

determination about the confidential 

status of the information and treat it 

according to its determination. 

Factors of interest to DOE when 

evaluating requests to treat submitted 

information as confidential include (1) a 

description of the items; (2) whether 

and why such items are customarily 

treated as confidential within the 

industry; (3) whether the information is 

generally known by or available from 

other sources; (4) whether the 

information has previously been made 

available to others without obligation 

concerning its confidentiality; (5) an 

explanation of the competitive injury to 

the submitting person which would 

result from public disclosure (6) when 

such information might lose its 

confidential character due to the 

passage of time; and (7) why disclosure 

of the information would be contrary to 

the public interest.
