DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Office of the Secretary 

Privacy Act of 1974; Addition of a New 

System of Records; USDA/OES, 

Enterprise Content Management 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA. 

ACTION: Notice of new system of records; 

request for comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the 

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 

gives notice of a new Privacy Act system 

of records and invites public comment 

on this new records system. 

DATES: This notice will be adopted 

without further publication in the 

Federal Register on December 4, 2006 

unless modified by a subsequent notice 

to incorporate comments received from 

the public. Although the Privacy Act 

requires only that the portion of the 

system which describes the ‘‘routine 

uses’’ of the system be published for 

comment, USDA invites comment on all 

portions of this notice. Comments must 

be received by the contact person listed 

below on or before November 2, 2006. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Director of the Office of the Executive 

Secretariat (OES), U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, 1400 Independence 

Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250– 

3300, telephone: (202) 720–7100. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, USDA 

is creating a new system of records, 

Enterprise Content Management (ECM) 

to be maintained by the Office of the 

Executive Secretariat. ECM is based 

upon a suite of document management 

applications that have been specifically 

designed for use by the employees and 

officers of USDA to manage documents 

associated with a wide range of 

administrative and business processes. 

At present, there are three components 

or modules that comprise ECM, the 

Enterprise Correspondence Management 

Module (ECMM), the General Use 

Module (GUM), and the Content 

Analysis Module (CAM). ECMM is 

designed and operated to support 

effective management of executive 

correspondence and other external and 

internal documents with similar 

internal business processes. GUM is 

designed to support effective 

management of internal business 

documents. CAM is designed to assist in 

the analysis and management of public 

and internal comments related to USDA 

programs and received in response to 

requests for such comments. 

ECMM does include information 

regarding individuals, primarily 

information such as the name and 

address incident to their 

correspondence addressed to the 

Secretary of Agriculture and various 

other officers and employees of USDA. 

In a few cases, it includes 

supplementary information about the 

individual, most often voluntarily 

provided by that individual. The 

purpose of ECMM is to help USDA 

employees manage correspondence and 

other documents at any organizational 

level from initial receipt through 

completion and archival storage. 

Department officials are included in the 

correspondence drafting and policy 

making process through a managed 

clearance and control system. The 

system’s workflow capabilities enable 

documents to be routed within or

USDA Enterprise Content 

Management (ECM). 

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION: 

None. 

SYSTEM LOCATION: 

The system is hosted on computers 

located within secure computing 

environments at the National 

Information Technology Center in 

Kansas City, Missouri, and at the 

Information Technology Services Web 

Farm in St. Louis, Missouri. Use of the 

application is restricted to authorized 

users within USDA, and the

databases will eventually be added 

using the other document management 

applications designed for use by the 

employees and officers of USDA to 

manage documents associated with a 

wide range of administrative and 

business processes. This information is 

not likely to relate to individuals, but to 

internal directives, budget, or scientific 

research. 

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM: 

44 U.S.C. 3101; 44 U.S.C. 3012; the

[Docket Number FV–05–303] 

United States Standards for Grades of 

Bunched Italian Sprouting Broccoli 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS) is revising the voluntary 

United States Standards for Grades of 

Bunched Italian Sprouting Broccoli. 

AMS is revising the standards to 

include provisions for certifying and 

grading broccoli crowns and florets. 

Specific size requirements for broccoli 

crowns and florets are being established. 

Additionally, the size requirements for 

the U.S. Fancy grade are being revised 

to provide minimum and maximum 

lengths for broccoli bunches ‘‘unless 

otherwise specified.’’ AMS is also 

revising the size specification section to 

allow percentages to be determined ‘‘by 

weight,’’ as well as ‘‘by count,’’ when 

fairly uniform in size. AMS is adding a 

definition for fairly uniform and 

definitions for the terms florets and 

crowns and revising the definition for 

diameter. AMS is defining and adding 

‘‘same type’’ to the requirements for 

each of the grades. AMS is eliminating 

the unclassified category. Additionally, 

AMS is revising the title of the 

standards to United States Standards for 

Grades of Italian Sprouting Broccoli as 

the standards will now apply to 

multiple forms of broccoli. These 

changes are made to update the broccoli 

grade standards and better reflect 

current marketing practices. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 2, 

2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

203(c) of the Agricultural Marketing Act 

of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621–1627), as 

amended, directs and authorizes the 

Secretary of Agriculture ‘‘To develop 

and improve standards of quality, 

condition, quantity, grade and 

packaging and recommend and 

demonstrate such standards in order to 

encourage uniformity and consistency 

in commercial practices.’’ The 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is 

committed to carrying out this authority 

in a manner that facilitates the 

marketing of agricultural commodities 

and makes copies of official standards 

available upon request. The United 

States Standards for Grades of Fruits 

and Vegetables not connected with 

Federal Marketing Orders or U.S. Import 

Requirements, no longer appear in the 

Code of Federal Regulations, but are 

maintained by USDA/AMS/Fruit and 

Vegetable Programs. 

AMS is revising the United States 

Standards for Grades of Bunched Italian 

Sprouting Broccoli using the procedures 

that appear in part 36, Title 7 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (7 CFR part 

36). These standards were last revised in 

1943. 

Background 

On April 21, 2005, AMS published a 

notice in the Federal Register (70 FR 

20730) soliciting comments for possible 

revisions of the United States Standards 

for Grades of Bunched Italian Sprouting 

Broccoli. Based on the comments 

received and information gathered, 

AMS developed revised grade standards 

for broccoli. AMS published a notice in 

the February 28, 2006, Federal Register 

(71 FR 10001) soliciting comments for 

the possible revision of the United 

States Standards for Grades of Bunched 

Italian Sprouting Broccoli. In response 

to this notice, AMS received two 

comments on the proposed revisions. 

One comment received was from an 

agricultural trade association and the 

other from a grower. The comments 

received are available by accessing the 

AMS, Fresh Products Branch Web site 

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

fpbdocketlist.htm. 

The agricultural trade association 

supported including broccoli crowns 

and florets into the United States 

Standards for Grades of Bunched Italian 

Sprouting Broccoli. They also supported 

having maximum stem lengths for 

broccoli crowns. AMS is establishing 

sizes for minimum and maximum 

lengths for the U.S. Fancy and U.S. No. 

1 grades of broccoli for crown and floret 

styles. The requirements include the 

option for minimum and maximum 

lengths to be ‘‘unless otherwise 

specified.’’ AMS is also establishing 

sizes for minimum and maximum 

diameter for the U.S. Fancy grade for
