Background 

On August 22, 2008, AMS received a 

petition from the North American 

Blueberry Council (NABC), requesting 

revisions to the United States Standards 

for Grades of Frozen Blueberries. These 

standards are issued under the 

Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 

(7 U.S.C. 1621–1627). 

The petitioner requested the USDA to 

revise the terminology used for the 

product description of frozen 

blueberries. On December 22, 2008, 

prior to undertaking research and other 

work associated with revising an official 

grade standard, AMS published a notice 

in the Federal Register (73 FR 78285) 

soliciting comments on the petition to 

revise the U.S. Standards for Grades of 

Frozen Blueberries. AMS received two 

comments: one from the USDA, 

Agricultural Research Service and the 

other from the American Frozen Food 

Institute. Both commenters stated that 

the proposal should include all hybrids 

and cultivars of the appropriate species. 

Given the absence of product samples 

and additional information on the 

berries that were the subject of its 

petition, NABC withdrew its request. 

Accordingly, after considering the 

comments received regarding the 

proposed revision and the withdrawal 

of the petition requesting revisions; 

AMS has decided not to proceed further 

with the proposed revision to the U.S. 

Standards for Grades of Frozen 

Blueberries. The notice published in the 

Federal Register on December 22, 2008 

(73 FR 87285) is hereby withdrawn. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627. 

Dated: April 22, 2010.

Acting Administrator, Agricultural Marketing 

Service.
