2182 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 9 / Friday, January 12, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

(1) One producer member, selected 

from and representing all producers, 

who is unaffiliated with any handler 

(including, but not limited to, 

ownership, employment, or agent of any 

handler, and whose family members are 

similarly unaffiliated with any handler); 

and 

(2) The remaining producer 

member(s) selected from and 

representing all other independent and 

small cooperative producers. 

(b) Pursuant to section § 989.26(b)(2), 

and commencing with the term of office 

beginning May 1, 2026, apportionment 

of the independent and small 

cooperative marketing association 

handlers shall be: 

(1) Two members selected from and 

representing the four handler(s) other 

than major cooperative marketing 

association handler(s) who acquired the 

largest percentage of the total raisin 

acquisitions during the preceding crop 

year; and 

(2) The remaining member(s) selected 

from and representing all other 

handlers, including small cooperative 

marketing association handler(s) and all 

processors. 

■ 13. Revise § 989.129 to read as 

follows: 

§ 989.129 Voting at nomination meetings. 

Any person (defined in § 989.3 as an 

individual, partnership, corporation, 

association, or any other business unit) 

who is engaged, in a proprietary 

capacity, in the production of grapes 

which are sun-dried or dehydrated by 

artificial means to produce raisins and 

who qualifies under the provisions of 

§ 989.29(b)(2) shall be eligible to cast 

one ballot for a nominee for each 

producer member position and one 

ballot for a nominee for each producer 

alternate member position on the 

Committee which is to be filled. Such 

person must be the one who or which: 

Owns and farms land resulting in his or 

its ownership of such grapes produced 

thereon; rents and farms land, resulting 

in his or its ownership of all or a portion 

of such grapes produced thereon; or 

owns land which he or it does not farm 

and, as rental for such land, obtains the 

ownership of a portion of such grapes or 

the raisins. In this connection, a 

partnership shall be deemed to include 

two or more persons (including a 

husband and wife) with respect to land 

the title to which, or leasehold interest 

in which, is vested in them as tenants 

in common, joint tenants, or under 

community property laws, as 

community property. In a landlordtenant relationship, wherein each of the 

parties is a producer, each such 

producer shall be entitled to one vote 

for a nominee for each producer 

member position and one vote for each 

producer alternate member position. 

Hence, where two persons operate land 

as landlord and tenant on a share-crop 

basis, each person is entitled to one vote 

for each such position to be filled. 

Where land is leased on a cash rental 

basis, only the person who is the tenant 

or cash renter (producer) is entitled to 

vote. A partnership or corporation, 

when eligible, is entitled to cast only 

one vote for a nominee for each 

producer position to be filled.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

I. Executive Summary 

In this NPRM, the Department is 

proposing to revise its title II ADA 

regulations, 28 CFR part 35, to adopt the 

standards for accessible MDE issued by 

the Architectural and Transportation 

Barriers Compliance Board (‘‘Access 

Board’’), 36 CFR part 1195, app. (‘‘MDE 

Standards’’). The Access Board issued 

the MDE Standards under section 510 of 

the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. 794f. 

The Department is proposing to adopt 

specific technical standards and scoping 

requirements under the ADA to ensure 

that MDE used by public entities to offer 

services, programs, and activities at 

places such as hospitals and other 

health care facilities is accessible to 

individuals with disabilities. MDE 

includes things like medical 

examination tables, weight scales, 

dental chairs, and radiological 

diagnostic equipment. Without 

accessible MDE, individuals with 

disabilities may not be afforded an equal 

opportunity to receive medical care, 

including routine examinations, which 

could have serious implications for their 

health. A lack of accessible MDE may 

also undermine the quality of care 

received by individuals with 

disabilities, ‘‘leading to delayed and 

incomplete care, missed diagnoses, 

exacerbation of the original disability, 

and increases in the likelihood of the 

development of secondary 

conditions.’’ 1 For instance, patients
