**Dried Prunes Produced in California; Decreased Assessment Rate** 

**AGENCY :**  Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

**ACTION :**  Affirmation of interim final rule as final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is adopting, as a final rule, without change, an interim final rule that decreased the assessment rate established for the Prune Marketing Committee (Committee), for the 2009–10 and subsequent crop years from $0.30 to $0.16 per ton of salable dried prunes. The Committee locally administers the marketing order that regulates the handling of dried prunes in California. The interim final rule was necessary to align the Committee’s expected revenue with decreases in its proposed budget for the 2009–10 and subsequent crop years, which began on August 1. The assessment rate will remain in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated.

**DATES :**  Effective Date: January 12, 2010.

**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 order is 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.

Under the order, California dried prune handlers are subject to assessments, which provide funds to administer the order. Assessment rates issued under the order are intended to be applicable to all assessable salable dried prunes for the entire crop year, and continue indefinitely until amended, suspended, or terminated. The Committee’s fiscal period begins on August 1 and ends on July 31.

In an interim final rule published in the Federal Register on September 9, 2009, and effective on September 10, 2009 (74 FR 46310, Doc. No. AMS–FV– 09–0048; FV09–993–1 IFR), § 993.347 was amended by decreasing the assessment rate established for the Committee for the 2009–10 and subsequent crop years from $0.30 to $0.16 per ton of California salable dried prunes. The decrease in the per-ton assessment rate was possible due to significant decreases in operating expenses and contingencies, and a significant increase in the crop estimate for the 2009–10 crop year.
