75264 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 211 / Thursday, November 2, 2023 / Notices 

‘‘Order’’. The Order authorizes quality 

regulations, research and promotion, 

and provides for the establishment of 

the Board, which locally administers the 

Order. 

On October 28, 2021, the Board 

recommended multiple proposed 

amendments to the Secretary, including 

the elimination of mandatory inspection 

and certification of walnuts and the 

creation of a new mechanism for 

determining and collecting handler 

assessments. After reviewing the 

proposals and other information 

submitted by the Board, USDA 

concluded the Board’s proposals will 

tend to effectuate the declared policy of 

the Act and conducted a public hearing 

on April 19–20, 2022. During the 

hearing, USDA proposed that § 984.67 

be amended to include exemptions that 

were inadvertently omitted in a 

previous revision. On August 21, 2023, 

the Final Rule published in the Federal 

Register [88 FR 56745], with an effective 

date September 20, 2023. 

Under the Order handler assessment 

obligations are incurred at the time of 

certification, and provisions under 

§ 984.67 exempt certain walnut sales 

from assessments and quality 

regulations. Therefore, walnuts 

considered exempt are not inspected, 

certified, and assessed. Under the new 

mechanism of determining and 

collecting assessments, handler 

assessments would be based on walnuts 

received rather than walnuts certified. 

Accordingly, effective September 20, 

2023, walnut receipts for deliveries that 

previously would have been exempt, as 

those walnuts would not be inspected 

and certified, may now be subject to 

assessment. To ensure that those 

walnuts continue to be exempt from 

assessment and/or that handlers can 

receive a refund against their current 

year assessments for walnut deliveries 

exempt under § 984.67, the Board 

recommended the establishment of the 

new information collection form 

described below. The form designated 

as OMB No. 0581–NEW is voluntary 

and is titled (CWB Form No. 2) Report 

of Walnuts Exempt from Assessments. 

Depending on when handlers submit 

the form, submission would either 

ensure that walnuts that are exempt 

from assessment are not assessed or if 

they are assessed, handlers would be 

able to receive a refund. Once approved 

by OMB, USDA will request permission 

to merge the form into OMB No. 0581– 

0178 Vegetable and Specialty Crops 

collection that includes other forms 

related to the Order. 

Estimate of Burden: Public reporting 

burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 5 minutes per 

response. 

Respondents: Walnut handlers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

14. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 14. 

Estimated Number of Responses per 

Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 1.16 hours. 

Comments are invited on: (1) Whether 

the proposed collection of the 

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; (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 through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All responses to this notice will be 

summarized and included in the request 

for OMB approval. All comments will 

also become a matter of public record. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35.
