Continuance Referendum 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Referendum order. 

SUMMARY: This document directs that a 

referendum be conducted among 

eligible producers of Vidalia onions 

grown in Georgia to determine whether 

they favor continuance of the marketing 

order that regulates the handling of 

Vidalia onions produced in the 

production area. 

DATES: The referendum will be 

conducted from September 9 through 

September 27, 2013. To vote in this 

referendum, producers must have 

produced Vidalia onions within the 

designated production area in Georgia 

during the period of January 1 through 

December 31, 2012.

order may be obtained from the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to Marketing Agreement and Order No. 

955, as amended (7 CFR Part 955), 

hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘order,’’ 

and the applicable provisions of the 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 

of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601–674), 

hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Act,’’ it is 

hereby directed that a referendum be 

conducted to ascertain whether 

continuance of the order is favored by 

the producers. The referendum shall be 

conducted from September 9 through 

September 27, 2013, among Vidalia 

onion producers in the production area. 

Only Vidalia onion producers that were 

engaged in the production of Vidalia 

onions in Georgia during the period of 

January 1 through December 31, 2012, 

may participate in the continuance 

referendum. 

USDA has determined that 

continuance referenda are an effective 

means for determining whether 

producers favor the continuation of 

marketing order programs. USDA would 

consider termination of the order if 

fewer than two-thirds of the producers 

voting in the referendum and producers 

of less than two-thirds of the volume of 

Vidalia onions represented in the 

referendum favor continuance. In 

evaluating the merits of continuance 

versus termination, USDA will not 

exclusively consider the results of the 

continuance referendum. USDA will 

also consider all other relevant 

information concerning the operation of 

the order and the relative benefits and 

disadvantages to producers, handlers, 

and consumers in determining whether 

continued operation of the order would 

tend to effectuate the declared policy of 

the Act. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501– 

3520), the ballot materials to be used in 

the referendum have been submitted to 

and approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

have been assigned OMB No. 0581– 

0178, Vegetable and Specialty Crop 

Marketing Orders. It has been estimated 

that it will take an average of 20 minutes 

for each of the approximately 80 

producers of Vidalia onions in Georgia 

to cast a ballot. Participation is 

voluntary. Ballots postmarked after 

September 27, 2013, will not be 

included in the vote tabulation. 

Corey E. Elliott and Christian D. 

Nissen of the Southeast Marketing Field 

Office, Fruit and Vegetable Program, 

AMS, USDA, are hereby designated as 

the referendum agents of the Secretary 

of Agriculture to conduct this 

referendum. The procedure applicable 

to the referendum shall be the 

‘‘Procedure for the Conduct of 

Referenda in Connection With 

Marketing Orders for Fruits, Vegetables, 

and Nuts Pursuant to the Agricultural 

Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as 

Amended’’ (7 CFR 900.400–900.407). 

Ballots will be mailed to all producers 

of record and may also be obtained from 

the referendum agents, or from their 

appointees.
