Materials/GMO Subcommittee 

Discussion Document on Seed Purity 

August 28, 2017

Introduction

In 2012, 2013 and 2016, the Materials/GMO Subcommittee issued discussion documents on the topic of 

“seed purity” (i.e., keeping seed stock used for organic production free from contamination by GMOs). In 

2014, the subcommittee issued a report summarizing the public comments received in in response to the 

2012 and 2013 discussion documents and the subcommittee’s analysis of the situation. The following are 

the links to these four documents:

April 2016

• Discussion Document: Next Steps for Improving Seed Purity (pdf)

April 2014

• Report: Seed Purity from GMOs (pdf)

April 2013

• Discussion document: GMOs and Seed Purity (pdf)

October 2012

• Discussion document: GMOs and seed purity (pdf)

The Materials/GMO Subcommittee thanks the organic stakeholder community for the extensive input it has 

provided in response to the previously issued discussion documents. 

At its meeting on August 22, 2017, the Subcommittee agreed to develop a seed purity proposal for review 

at the spring 2018 NOSB meeting. In order to develop this proposal, the Subcommittee will draw upon 

previously submitted comments and suggestions, as well as any additional comments it receives in 

response to this discussion document.

Request of the Materials/GMO Subcommittee to Stakeholders for Additional Input

The Materials/GMO Subcommittee requests further stakeholder input on the topic of seed purity via the 

NOSB open comment docket: https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=AMS_FRDOC_0001-1600. 

Note that it is not necessary to resubmit comments and suggestions that were previously submitted in 

response to the prior discussion documents, as the NOSB has maintained a complete record of these. 

Please submit only new comments and suggestions. We look forward to receiving your input. 

Motion to accept the discussion document on non-GMO organic seed integrity.

Foreign-Trade Zones Board

[Order No. 1824]


Reorganization of Foreign-Trade Zone 226 Under Alternative Site 
Framework Merced County, CA

    Pursuant to its authority under the Foreign-Trade Zones Act of 
June 18, 1934, as amended (19 U.S.C. 81a-81u), the Foreign-Trade 
Zones Board (the Board) adopts the following Order:

    Whereas, the Board adopted the alternative site framework (ASF) (74 
FR 1170, 01/12/2009; correction 74 FR 3987, 01/22/2009; 75 FR 71069-
71070, 11/22/2010) as an option for the establishment or reorganization 
of general-purpose zones;
    Whereas, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Merced, grantee 
of Foreign-Trade Zone 226, submitted an application to the Board (FTZ 
Docket 84-2011, filed 12/23/2011) for authority to reorganize under the 
ASF with a service area which includes portions of Fresno, Kings, 
Madera, Mariposa, Merced, Stanislaus and Tulare Counties, California as 
its service area, as described in the application, within and adjacent 
to the Fresno U.S. Customs and Border Protection port of entry, and FTZ 
226's existing Sites 1, 2, 9, 10 and 11 would be categorized as magnet 
sites, existing Site 8 would be categorized as a usage-driven site, 
Sites 3, 4, 6, 7, 12 and 13 would be deleted and acreage reduced at 
existing Site 1;
    Whereas, notice inviting public comment was given in the Federal 
Register (76 FR 81912-81913, 12/29/2011) and the application has been 
processed pursuant to the FTZ Act and the Board's regulations; and,
    Whereas, the Board adopts the findings and recommendations of the 
examiner's report, and finds that the requirements of the FTZ Act and 
Board's regulations are satisfied, and that the proposal is in the 
public interest;
    Now, therefore, the Board hereby orders:
    The application to reorganize FTZ 226 under the alternative site 
framework is approved, subject to the FTZ Act and the Board's 
regulations, including Section 400.28, to the Board's standard 2,000-
acre activation limit for the overall general-purpose zone project, and 
to five-year ASF sunset provisions for magnet sites that would 
terminate authority for Sites 2, 9 10 and 11 if not activated by April 
30, 2017, and to a three-year sunset provision for usage-driven sites 
that would terminate authority for Site 8 if no foreign-status 
merchandise is admitted for a bona fide customs purpose by April 30, 
2015.

    Signed at Washington, DC, this 16th day of April 2012.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Import Administration, Alternate 
Chairman Foreign-Trade Zones Board.

Andrew McGilvray,

September 25, 1997
#### Comcast Sound Communications, Inc., Respondent, v Michael Hoeltke et al., Appellants.

—Order insofar as appealed from unanimously reversed on the law without costs, cross motion granted in part and complaint dismissed. Memorandum: Supreme Court erred by denying defendants’ cross motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint. We have recently stated that non-competition clauses such as those contained in the employment contracts that plaintiff entered into with defendants, Michael Hoeltke and Greg Nolte, are "disfavored by the law” *(Buffalo Imprints v Scinta,*144 AD2d 1025, 1026; *see also, Newco Waste Sys. v Swartzenberg,*125 AD2d 1004, 1005). Such restrictive covenants will *1024not be enforced "unless necessary to protect the trade secrets, customer lists or good will of the employer’s business, or perhaps when the employer is exposed to special harm because of the unique nature of the employee’s services” *(American Broadcasting Cos. v Wolf,*52 NY2d 394, 403; *Buffalo Imprints v Scinta, supra,*at 1026; *Kraft Agency v Delmonico,*110 AD2d 177, 182). Moreover, where an employer’s customer lists "are readily ascertainable from sources outside its business, trade secret protection will not attach and their solicitation by the employee will not be enjoined” *(Columbia Ribbon & Carbon Mfg. Co. v A-l-A Corp.,*42 NY2d 496, 499; *Buffalo Imprints v Scinta, supra,*at 1027; *Walter Karl, Inc. v Wood,*137 AD2d 22, 27).

Application of the above principles to the facts here compels the conclusion that the restrictive covenants are not enforceable because plaintiiFs customer lists do not qualify for trade secret protection. The lists are readily ascertainable from a myriad of sources available to the general public. Further, there has been no demonstration that defendants performed services of a unique nature for plaintiff. Although defendants were valuable sales personnel, they were not irreplaceable nor did their leaving plaintiff’s employ cause plaintiff special harm *(see, Buffalo Imports v Scinta, supra; Newco Waste Sys. v Swartzenberg, supra; see also, Reed, Roberts Assocs. v Strauman,*40 NY2d 303, *rearg denied*40 NY2d 918).

Finally, there has been no factual showing that defendants wrongfully converted or misappropriated to their own use any confidential knowledge acquired during their employment with plaintiff or that they breached any fiduciary duty of loyalty that was owed to plaintiff *(see, Reed, Roberts Assocs. v Strauman, supra,*at 308-309; *Computer Task Group v Professional Support,*88 AD2d 768, 769). Accordingly, defendants are entitled to summary judgment dismissing the complaint. (Appeal from Order of Supreme Court, Erie County, Wolfgang, J.—Summary Judgment.) Present—Dillon, P.

Office of the Secretary 

Washington D.C. 20250 

NOV 122020 

The Honorable Michael Khouri 

Chairman 

Federal Maritime Commission 

800 North Capitol Street, N.W 

Washington, D.C. 20573 

Dear Chairman Khouri: 

Thank you for your leadership on behalf of the United States' export community and, 

specifically, the United States' agricultural export industry. The global pandemic and volatile 

trade patterns this year have forced shippers and carriers to make tough decisions in order to stay 

in business and reduce costs. However, some recent decisions by the ocean carriers are 

impacting the ability of agricultural exporters to serve their overseas partners effectively. 

Pressure on the ocean shipping industry to meet the surge in imports has caused some carriers to 

reduce or restrict capacity for agricultural exporters at some inland locations and increase rates 

across the board. As import traffic increases for the peak import shipping season, the United 

States agricultural exporters are experiencing canceled bookings, shifting vessel schedules, and 

an insufficient number of containers at inland locations and even at some port locations. 

Agricultural exporters would like to know: 

• How are ocean carriers planning to serve agricultural exporters during this' unprecedented 

surge in import traffic? 

• Are the carrier Alliances currently improving or reducing the competitive nature of the 

• market? 

• Are carriers providing too much free time to importers causing shortage conditions 

during peak surges in volume? 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) stands with the United States agricultural exporters 

as they face these unexpected logistical challenges. It is important that ocean carriers serve the 

full spectrum of United States' trade adequately. In support of Federal Maritime Commission's 

(FMC) mission to ensure that neither the activities of liner shipping groups nor foreign • 

government laws or regulations impose unfair costs on American exporters, USDA requests the 

Chairman contact the top overseas executives for each ocean carrier that serves the 

United States' import and export trade, in support of the United States agricultural exports. 
The Honorable Michael Khouri 

Page 2 

USDA appreciates the actions FMC has taken to mitigate non-competitive actions by the carriers 

and asks for a broader discussion with the carriers to ensure agricultural exporters can conduct 

business in a fair and efficient manner. 

Sincerely, 

Gig lbach
