37892 Federal Register / Vol. 64, No. 134 /Wednesday, July 14, 1999 / Proposed Rules

$5,000,000, and small agricultural

producers are defined as those having

annual receipts of less than $500,000.

The majority of Colorado Area III potato

handlers and producers may be

classified as small entities.

This rule would increase the

assessment rate established for the

Committee and collected from handlers

for the 1999–2000 and subsequent fiscal

periods from $0.01 per hundredweight

to $0.02 per hundredweight of potatoes

handled. The $0.02 assessment rate was

approved by all seven of the Committee

members who cast votes during a fax

vote held between May 14 and May 19,

1999. The proposed assessment rate is

$0.01 greater than the rate currently in

effect. The Committee recommended the

increased assessment rate because the

current rate would not generate enough

income to adequately administer the

program. The anticipated fresh potato

crop of 792,000 hundredweight is

approximately 380,000 hundredweight

less than the 1998–99 crop. The $0.02

rate should provide $15,840 in

assessment income, which, when

combined with interest income of

$3,000, rental income of $1,500 from the

sublease of office space to the State

Inspection Service, and $4,110 from the

operating reserve, would be adequate to

meet the 1999–2000 fiscal period’s

budgeted expenses.

In a fax vote of six in favor and one

opposed, the Committee recommended

1999–2000 expenditures of $24,450,

which is $1,603 less than last year’s

budgeted expenses. Prior to

recommending this budget, the

Committee considered historical income

and expenses, current income and

expense levels, the 1999–2000 estimated

crop production, current and projected

operating reserve levels, and input from

the Committee officers. The major

expenditures recommended by the

Committee for the 1999–2000 fiscal

period include $10,500 for the

manager’s salary, $3,000 for rent, and

$2,000 for office supplies. Budgeted

expenses for these items in the 1998–99

fiscal period were $11,500, $3,000, and

$2,000, respectively.

A review of historical data and

preliminary information pertaining to

the upcoming season indicates that the

price to producers for the 1999–2000

Colorado Area III potato season could

average $5.30 per hundredweight of

potatoes. Therefore, the estimated

assessment revenue for the 1999–2000

fiscal period ($0.02 × 792,000 cwt =

$15,840) as a percentage of the projected

total revenue at the farm gate ($5.30 ×

792,000 cwt = $4,197,600) would be

0.37 percent. This figure indicates that

the $0.02 assessment rate recommended

by the Committee would have an

insignificant impact on the Colorado

potato industry.

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 order. In addition, the Committee’s

meeting was widely publicized

throughout the Colorado potato industry

and all interested persons were invited

to attend the meeting and participate in

Committee deliberations on all issues.

Like all Committee meetings, the May

13, 1999, 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 information on 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

potato 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 Department has not identified

any relevant Federal rules that

duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this

rule.

A 30-day comment period is provided

to allow interested persons the

opportunity to respond to this request

for information and comments. Thirty

days is deemed appropriate because: (1)

The Committee needs to have sufficient

funds to pay its expenses which are

incurred on a continuous basis; (2) the

1999–2000 fiscal period began on July 1,

1999, and the order requires that the

rate of assessment for each fiscal period

apply to all assessable potatoes handled

during such fiscal period; and (3)

handlers are aware of this action which

is similar to other assessment rate

actions issued in past years.

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing

Service (AMS), USDA, published in the

Federal Register of April 2, 1999, a final

decision that consolidated the current

31 Federal milk orders into 11 orders to

comply with the 1996 Farm Bill and

made other order changes. Inadvertent

errors and omissions were made in the

supplementary information and in the

regulatory text. This document makes

corrections to the final decision. These

corrections do not change the

conclusions contained in the final

decision and do not substantively alter

the regulatory provisions.

Corrections

In the final decision published on

April 2, 1999 (FR Doc. 99–6547),

beginning on page 16026, the following

corrections are made in the

supplementary information and

regulatory text sections. The corrections

do not change the conclusions

contained in the final decision and do

not substantively alter the regulatory

provisions. The corrections are being

made for several reasons. First, the

corrections more accurately reflect the

results of the USDA multi-regional

economic model. Second, the

corrections provide conformity

throughout the supplementary

information and regulatory text sections.

And third, corrections are made to

include information inadvertently

omitted.

In the supplementary information

section of the final decision 28

corrections are made. Eighteen

corrections (corrections numbered 1–10,

12–16, 20, and 25–26) are made in

connection with the USDA multiregional dairy sector economic model

results. The model quantitatively

examined the impacts of the changes

under consideration in the classified

pricing of milk and dairy products in

the milk order system. These were

discussed in the supplementary

information of the final decision.

Inadvertently, the model results

contained a pricing point data-entry

error. Correction of this error results in

minor changes in the results. These

corrections do not alter conclusions

contained in the final decision. A

detailed description of the model is

contained in the final decision (64 FR

16110) and in the Regulatory Impact

Analysis.

The remaining corrections are as

follows: two corrections (corrections

numbered 11 and 28) are made to

conform the supplementary information

to the regulatory text and two

corrections (corrections numbered 17

and 18) are made to correct

mathematical errors. Three corrections

(corrections numbered 21, 23, and 24)

are made for the following reasons:

Correction 21 changes the last

sentence on page 16099, first column,

third paragraph of the final decision,

which explains the modification of the

protein price calculation in the final

decision to incorporate the additional

value of butterfat in cheese with the

protein price. The final decision

differed from the proposal in that

valuation of total nitrogen protein was

changed to valuation of true protein.

However, the description of the factors

used to compute the resulting ratio was

inadvertently not changed from that

contained in the proposal. The sentence

is in error and is being corrected to

accurately reflect the method of

calculating the ratio.

Correction 23 removes the words ‘‘in

several counties’’ in reference to the

Northeast because there are more than

several counties, and adds counties

inadvertently omitted.

Correction 24 (which adds a table) is

made for the purpose of clarifying the

discussion in the final decision of the

1A pricing option differential levels.

The decision indicates that changes to

the 1A price surface were made, but

those changes were not specifically

identified. The table lists the changes in

detail for purposes of clarification.

One correction (correction numbered

22) clarifies the data used in the model,

and two corrections (corrections

numbered 19 and 27) are made to

correct typographical errors. These

corrections and additions do not impact

the conclusions contained in the final

decision but are provided for

clarification purposes.

In the regulatory text of the final

decision, 27 corrections are made. Eight

corrections (corrections numbered 7, 8,

10, 12, 14, 16, 17, and 19) are made as

a result of typographical errors. Eleven

corrections (corrections numbered 4, 6,

11, 15, 18, 20–24, and 26) are made to

clarify a price computation procedure

used in each order. This clarification

does not change the price computation

in the final decision but more fully

explains a step in the price calculation

of each order. Six corrections

(corrections numbered 1, 3, 5, 9, 13, and

25) add a clarifying word or phrase that

was inadvertently omitted. One

correction (correction number 2)

removes obsolete language which

should have been deleted. A final

correction is made to the authority

citations for each Part (correction

numbered 27) to add to the citations a

reference to 7 U.S.C. 7253. These

corrections do not make any substantive

changes to the regulatory text.

Accordingly, for the reasons stated in

the preamble, the final decision

published on April 2, 1999 (FR Doc. 99–

6547) at 64 FR 16026 is corrected as

follows:
