Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 173 / Friday, September 7, 2007 / Proposed Rules 51381 

Due to the pending termination of the 

CPC, the committee will need to begin 

collecting production, producer, and 

inventory data directly from handlers. 

The committee would use this 

information in its marketing policy 

deliberations each year when it reviews 

the production, harvesting, processing, 

and storage of the California crop. They 

would also use it conduct committee 

nominations, and USDA would use it to 

conduct periodic producer referenda. 

The committee needs accurate 

information to effectively administer the 

order. 

The information collected would be 

used only by authorized representatives 

of the USDA, including AMS, Fruit and 

Vegetable Programs regional and 

headquarters staff, and authorized 

employees of the committee. Authorized 

committee staff are the primary users of 

the information, and AMS is the 

secondary user. Such information 

would be kept confidential in 

accordance with the Act and the order. 

Estimated Annual Burden for Each 

Form 

The proposed request for revision of 

a currently-approved information 

collection under the order is as follows: 

ACP–7, Monthly Report of Inventory/ 

Shipments Form 

Handlers would use this form to 

report their monthly inventory, receipts, 

domestic and export shipments of 

pistachios, interhandler transfers, nonhandler purchases of California product, 

inventory adjustments, and the ending 

inventory. Because small handlers are 

exempt from filing all forms other than 

the ACP–4, there are only an estimated 

20 huller/dryer handlers who would be 

required to file this form. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 12 minutes per 

response. 

Respondents: Persons who handle 

California pistachios. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

20. 

Estimated Number of Total Annual 

Responses: 240. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 12. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 48 hours. 

ACP–8, Producer Delivery Report Form 

Handlers would use this form 

annually to notify the committee of the 

receipts of pistachios and to report 

information on producers who own the 

acreage upon which the pistachios are 

grown. There are only an estimated 14 

producers/handlers who receive 

pistachios for processing from other 

producers, thus, there would be fewer 

handlers filing this form. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 12 minutes per 

response. 

Respondents: California pistachio 

handlers who receive pistachios grown 

in California. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

14. 

Estimated Number of Total Annual 

Reponses: 14. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 2.8 hours. 

Comments: Comments are invited on: 

(1) Whether the proposed collection of 

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 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Comments should reference OMB No. 

0581–0215 and the Marketing Order for 

Pistachios Grown in California, and 

should be sent to the USDA in care of 

the Docket Clerk at the previousmentioned 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 same address or at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. 

In summary, this proposal would 

modify one reporting form and establish 

a new reporting requirement under the 

order. 

Requiring handlers to file the new 

reports would allow the committee to 

obtain accurate information for 

preparation of the mandatory annual 

marketing policy statement, and for the 

conduct of committee nominations and 

periodic referenda. Since the addition of 

ACP Form 8 would require changes to 

the order’s rules and regulations, 

§ 983.147 would be modified to add a 

new paragraph (g), and to redesignate 

current paragraphs (g) and (h) as 

paragraphs (h) and (i). 

All written comments timely received 

will be considered before a final 

determination is made on this matter.

51382 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 173 / Friday, September 7, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule would increase the 

assessment rate established for the 

Prune Marketing Committee 

(committee) for the 2007–08 and 

subsequent crop years from $0.40 to 

$0.60 per ton of salable dried prunes. 

The committee locally administers the 

marketing order that regulates the 

handling of dried prunes in California. 

Assessments upon dried prune handlers 

are used by the committee to fund 

reasonable and necessary expenses of 

the program. The higher assessment rate 

is needed to offset an anticipated 

decrease in dried prune production this 

year. The crop year begins August 1 and 

ends July 31. The assessment rate would 

remain in effect indefinitely unless 

modified, suspended, or terminated. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

September 27, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule 

is issued under Marketing Agreement 

No. 110 and Marketing Order No. 993, 

both as amended (7 CFR part 993), 

regulating the handling of dried prunes 

grown in California, hereinafter referred 

to as the ‘‘order.’’ The marketing 

agreement and order are 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 rule has been reviewed under 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. Under the marketing order now 

in effect, California dried prune 

handlers are subject to assessments. 

Funds to administer the order are 

derived from such assessments. It is 

intended that the assessment rate as 

proposed herein would be applicable to 

all assessable dried prunes beginning on 

August 1, 2007, and continue until 

amended, suspended, or terminated. 

This rule will not preempt any State or 

local laws, regulations, or policies, 

unless they present an irreconcilable 

conflict with this rule. 

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. Such 

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 rule would increase the 

assessment rate established for the 

committee for the 2007–08 and 

subsequent crop years from $0.40 to 

$0.60 per ton of salable dried prunes 

handled. 

The California dried prune marketing 

order provides authority for the 

committee, with the approval of USDA, 

to formulate an annual budget of 

expenses and collect assessments from 

handlers to administer the program. The 

members of the committee are 

producers of California dried prunes. 

They are familiar with the committee’s 

needs and with the costs for goods and 

services in their local area and are thus 

in a position to formulate an appropriate 

budget and assessment rate. The 

assessment rate is formulated and 

discussed at a public meeting. Thus, all 

directly affected persons have an 

opportunity to participate and provide 

input. 

For the 2006–07 and subsequent crop 

years, the committee recommended, and 

USDA approved, an assessment rate that 

would continue in effect from crop year 

to crop year unless modified, 

suspended, or terminated by USDA 

upon recommendation and information 

submitted by the committee or other 

information available to USDA. 

The committee met on June 28, 2007, 

and unanimously recommended an 

increased assessment rate of $0.60 per 

ton of salable dried prunes and 

expenditures totaling $102,523 for the 

2007–08 crop year. In comparison, last 

year’s approved expenses as amended in 

April 2007 were $104,973. The 

proposed assessment rate of $0.60 per 

ton of salable dried prunes is $0.20 

higher than the rate currently in effect. 

The committee recommended a 

higher assessment rate based on a 

production estimate of 95,000 tons of 

salable dried prunes for this year, which 

is substantially less than the 187,737 

tons produced last year. At the proposed 

assessment rate the assessment income 

for the 2007–08 crop year would be 

$57,000. The committee’s proposed 

budget of expenses of $102,523 includes 

a five percent increase in personnel 

expenses, and a two percent increase in 

operating expenses. Combined salaries 

and expenses are about four percent 

higher than last year, or about $65,580. 

The committee also included $36,943 

for contingencies. Most of the 

committee’s expenses reflect its portion 

of the joint administrative costs of the 

committee and the California Dried 

Plum Board. Based on the committee’s 

reduced activities in recent years, it is 

funding only ten percent of the shared 

expenses of the two programs. This 

funding level is similar to that of last 

year. The committee believes carryover 

funds, plus assessment and interest 

income, would be adequate to cover its 

estimated expenses of $102,523. 

The major expenditures 

recommended by the committee for the 

2007–08 crop year include $50,505 for 

salaries and benefits, $15,075 for 

operating expenses, and $36,943 for 

contingencies. For the 2006–07 crop 

year, the committee’s budgeted 

expenses were $48,405 for salaries and 

benefits, $15,645 for operating expenses, 

and $44,326 for contingencies. 

The assessment rate recommended by 

the committee was derived by dividing 

anticipated expenses by the estimated 

salable tons of California dried prunes. 

Dried prune production for the year is 

estimated to be 95,000 salable tons, 

which should provide $57,000 in 

assessment income at the proposed 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 173 / Friday, September 7, 2007 / Proposed Rules 51383 

$0.60 per ton of salable dried prunes. 

Income derived from handler 

assessments, plus excess funds from the 

2006–07 crop year should be adequate 

to cover budgeted expenses. 

The committee is authorized under 

§ 993.81(c) of the order to use excess 

assessment funds from the 2006–07 crop 

year (currently estimated at $45,423) for 

up to 5 months beyond the end of the 

crop year to meet 2007–08 crop year 

expenses. At the end of the 5 months, 

the committee either refunds or credits 

excess funds to handlers. 

The proposed assessment rate would 

continue in effect indefinitely unless 

modified, suspended, or terminated by 

USDA upon recommendation and 

information submitted by the 

committees or other available 

information. 

Although this assessment rate would 

be in effect for an indefinite period, the 

committee would continue to meet prior 

to or during each crop year to 

recommend a budget of expenses and 

consider recommendations for 

modification of the assessment rate. The 

dates and times of committee meetings 

are available from the committee or 

USDA. Committee meetings are open to 

the public and interested persons may 

express their views at these meetings. 

USDA would evaluate the committee’s 

recommendations and other available 

information to determine whether 

modification of the assessment rate is 

needed. Further rulemaking would be 

undertaken as necessary. The 

committees’ 2007–08 budget and those 

for subsequent crop years would be 

reviewed and, as appropriate, approved 

by USDA. 

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

Pursuant to requirements set forth in 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), the 

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) 

has considered the economic impact of 

this rule 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 the rules issued thereunder, are 

unique in that they are brought about 

through group action of essentially 

small entities acting on their own 

behalf. 

There are approximately 1,100 

producers of dried prunes in the 

production area and approximately 22 

handlers subject to regulation under the 

marketing order. The Small Business 

Administration (13 CFR 121.201) 

defines small agricultural producers as 

those whose annual receipts are less 

than $750,000, and small agricultural 

service firms as those whose annual 

receipts are less than $6,500,000. 

An estimated 1,068 of the 1,100 

producers (97.1 percent) have incomes 

of less than $750,000 and would be 

considered small producers. Fourteen of 

the 22 handlers (63.6 percent) have 

incomes from handling prunes of less 

than $6,500,000 and could be 

considered small handlers. Therefore, 

the majority of handlers and producers 

of California dried prunes may be 

classified as small entities. 

This rule would increase the 

assessment rate established for the 

committee and collected from handlers 

for the 2007–08 and subsequent crop 

years from $0.40 to $0.60 per ton of 

salable dried prunes. 

The committee met on June 28, 2007, 

and unanimously recommended 

estimated expenses for 2007–08 of 

$102,523 and an increased assessment 

rate of $0.60 per ton of salable dried 

prunes. The committee’s recommended 

budget was based on a five percent 

increase in personnel expenses and a 

two percent increase in operating 

expenses. Combined salaries and 

expenses are about four percent higher 

than last year, or about $65,580. The 

committee also included $36,943 for 

contingencies. Most of the committee’s 

expenses reflect its portion of the joint 

administrative costs of the committee 

and the California Dried Plum Board. 

Based on the committee’s reduced 

activities in recent years, it is funding 

only ten percent of the shared expenses 

of the two programs. This funding level 

is similar to that of last year. The 

committee believes carryover funds, 

plus assessment and interest income, 

would be adequate to cover its 

estimated expenses of $102,523. 

The proposed assessment rate of $0.60 

per ton of salable dried prunes is $0.20 

higher than the rate currently in effect. 

The quantity of salable dried prunes for 

the 2007–08 crop year is currently 

estimated at 95,000 tons of salable dried 

prunes, compared to 187,737 tons of 

salable dried prunes for the 2006–07 

crop year. 

The major expenditures 

recommended by the committee for the 

2007–08 crop year include $50,505 for 

salaries and benefits, $15,075 for 

operating expenses, and $36,943 for 

contingencies. Budgeted expenses for 

these items in 2006–07 were $48,405 for 

salaries and benefits, $15,645 for 

operating expenses, and $44,326 for 

contingencies. 

The 2007–08 crop year assessment 

rate was derived after considering 

anticipated crop year expenses; 

estimated production of salable dried 

prunes; and the estimated income from 

other sources, such as interest. 

Therefore, the committee recommended 

an assessment rate of $0.60 per ton of 

salable dried prunes. 

Prior to arriving at its budget of 

$102,523, the committee considered 

information from various sources, 

including the committee’s Executive 

Subcommittee. Alternative assessment 

rates, including the rate currently in 

effect, and different expenditure levels 

were discussed by the subcommittee 

and the committee. An alternative to 

this action would be to continue with 

the $0.40 per ton assessment rate. 

However, an assessment rate of $0.60 

per ton of salable dried prunes, along 

with excess funds from the 2006–07 

crop year, is needed to provide enough 

income to fund the committee’s 

operations. 

Therefore, the committee agreed that 

$0.60 per ton of salable dried prunes is 

an acceptable assessment rate. Section 

993.81(c) of the order provides the 

committee the authority to use excess 

assessment funds from the 2006–07 crop 

year (currently estimated at $45,423) for 

up to 5 months beyond the end of the 

crop year to meet 2007–08 crop year 

expenses. At the end of the 5 months, 

the committee either refunds or credits 

excess funds to handlers. 

A review of historical information and 

preliminary data pertaining to the 

upcoming crop year indicates that the 

producer price for the 2007–08 crop 

year is expected to average between 

$1,500 and $1,600 per ton of salable 

dried prunes. Based on an estimated 

95,000 salable tons of dried prunes, 

assessment revenue as a percentage of 

producer prices during the 2006–07 

crop year is expected to be between .038 

and .040 percent. 

This action would increase the 

assessment obligation imposed on 

handlers. While assessments impose 

some additional costs on handlers, the 

costs are minimal and uniform on all 

handlers. Some of the additional costs 

may be passed on to producers. 

However, these costs would be offset by 

the benefits derived by the operation of 

the marketing order. In addition, the 

committee’s meeting was widely 

publicized throughout the California 

dried prune industry and all interested 

persons were invited to attend the 

meeting and participate in committee 

deliberations on all issues. Like all 

committee meetings, the June 28, 2007, 

meeting was a public meeting and all 

entities, both large and small, were 

encouraged to express views on this 

issue. Finally, interested persons are 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with PROPOSALS
51384 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 173 / Friday, September 7, 2007 / Proposed Rules 

invited to submit comments on this 

proposed rule, including the regulatory 

and informational impacts of this action 

on small businesses. 

This proposed rule would impose no 

additional reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements on either small or large 

California dried prune 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. 

The 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. 

USDA has not identified any relevant 

Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or 

conflict with this rule. 

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/ 

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. 

A 20-day comment period is provided 

to allow interested persons to respond 

to this proposed rule. Twenty days is 

deemed appropriate because: (1) The 

2007–08 crop year will begin on August 

1, 2007, and the marketing order 

requires that the rate of assessment for 

each crop year apply to all assessable 

prunes handled during such crop year; 

(2) the committee needs to have 

sufficient funds to pay its expenses 

which are incurred on a continuous 

basis; and (3) handlers are aware of this 

action, which was unanimously 

recommended by the committee at a 

public meeting and is similar to other 

assessment rate actions issued in past 

years.
