ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: This proposed rule invites 

comments on revisions to the 

determination of sales history 

provisions currently prescribed under 

the cranberry marketing order (order). 

The order regulates the handling of 

cranberries grown in Massachusetts, 

Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, 

Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, 

Oregon, Washington, and Long Island in 

the State of New York, and is 

administered locally by the Cranberry 

Marketing Committee (Committee). This 

change would modify sales history 

calculations so that they would be 

applicable for future seasons and would 

adjust the number of years that could be 

considered when determining the 

highest four years of past sales.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposed rule is issued under Marketing 

Agreement and Order No. 929, as 

amended (7 CFR part 929), regulating 

the handling of cranberries produced in 

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, 

Connecticut, New Jersey, Wisconsin, 

Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, 

Washington, and Long Island in the 

State of New York, 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 proposed rule in 

conformance with Executive Order 

12866. 

This proposal has been reviewed 

under Executive Order 12988, Civil 

Justice Reform. This proposed rule is 

not intended to have retroactive effect. 

The Act provides that administrative 

proceedings must be exhausted before 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

28150 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 93 / Tuesday, May 14, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

parties may file suit in court. Under 

section 608c(15)(A) of the Act, any 

handler subject to an order may file 

with USDA a petition stating that the 

order, any provision of the order, or any 

obligation imposed in connection with 

the order is not in accordance with law 

and request a modification of the order 

or to be exempted therefrom. A handler 

is afforded the opportunity for a hearing 

on the petition. After the hearing, USDA 

would rule on the petition. The Act 

provides that the district court of the 

United States in any district in which 

the handler is an inhabitant, or has his 

or her principal place of business, has 

jurisdiction to review USDA’s ruling on 

the petition, provided an action is filed 

not later than 20 days after the date of 

the entry of the ruling. 

This proposal invites comments on 

revisions to the rules and regulations 

pertaining to the determination of 

grower sales history currently 

prescribed under the order. This change 

would modify sales history calculations 

so that they would be applicable for 

future seasons and would adjust the 

number of years that could be 

considered when determining the 

highest four years of past sales. These 

changes were unanimously 

recommended by the Committee at a 

meeting on February 20, 2012. 

The order provides authority for 

volume control in the form of a grower 

allotment program. This program 

provides a method for limiting the 

quantity of cranberries that handlers 

may purchase or handle on behalf of 

growers in years of oversupply. Under 

this program, a marketable quantity and 

allotment percentage are established by 

the Committee. Each grower’s sales 

history is calculated by averaging recent 

years’ sales data using information 

submitted by the grower on a 

production and eligibility report filed 

with the Committee. If volume control 

regulations are to be implemented, each 

grower’s allotment is then calculated by 

multiplying the allotment percentage by 

the grower’s sales history. 

Section 929.48 of the order prescribes 

provisions for computing grower sales 

history. These provisions include a 

requirement that a new sales history be 

calculated for each grower after each 

crop year, using the formula established 

in § 929.48(a) or such other formula as 

determined by the Committee, with the 

approval of the Secretary. Section 

929.149 provides another formula for 

calculating grower sales history, which 

includes provisions for additional sales 

history to make calculations more 

equitable for growers with new acreage. 

The calculations in this section are 

currently based on, and specifically 

reference, the six years immediately 

preceding the last year volume 

regulation was in effect, 2001–02, 

making them applicable for only the one 

season. This section also specifies that 

sales history can be calculated using the 

average of the highest four of the most 

recent seven years of sales for acreage 

with seven or more years of sales 

history. 

In an effort to update the regulations 

pertaining to the calculation of grower 

sales history, the Committee 

recommended two changes to § 929.149. 

The first change would remove the 

outdated references to specific years 

used in calculating sales history. The 

second change would reduce the 

maximum number of years of sales that 

could be used to determine the highest 

four years of sales from seven years to 

six years. 

The formula for determining sales 

history in § 929.149 was developed 

specifically for the implementation of 

volume regulation during the 2001–02 

season, the last time volume regulation 

was used under the order. The 

Committee developed the formula to 

address potential inequities that could 

result when calculating sales history, 

especially in regards to new acreage. 

Because a cranberry bog does not reach 

full production capacity until several 

years after being planted, using an 

average of early sales for bogs which 

have not reached maturity could result 

in a sales history that does not reflect 

future sales potential. Because 

calculated sales history impacts the 

amount of allotment received under 

volume regulation, it is important that 

the calculated sales history is as 

representative of grower sales as 

possible. 

Therefore, in 2001 the Committee 

created a formula to determine an 

amount of additional sales history per 

acre to be applied to acreage planted in 

1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. 

To help establish the additional amount 

of sales volume to be provided for new 

acreage, the Committee and USDA 

conducted surveys to determine average 

yields on new acreage over the first five 

years of production. Recognizing that 

the averages may not be reflective of all 

growers, the averages were adjusted 

upward by 25 barrels and were used to 

calculate the numbers for additional 

sales history provided in Table 1 in 

§ 929.149 for bogs planted from 1995 

through 2000. 

At its February 20, 2012, meeting, the 

Committee discussed the volume 

regulation provisions in the order’s 

rules and regulations and how these 

provisions may need to be updated for 

upcoming seasons in the event volume 

regulation is implemented. The 

Committee reviewed § 929.149 and how 

it calculates sales history and agreed 

that the adjustments for additional sales 

history were still important in 

establishing equity for new acreage. 

Recognizing the specific dates 

currently in § 929.149 are not applicable 

for future seasons, the Committee 

recommended revising this section to 

remove the date-specific language so 

that it would be applicable to each 

individual season. Rather than referring 

to acreage planted in the years 1995 

through 2000, the proposed amendment 

would refer to acreage planted between 

one and six years prior to the current 

season. With this change, § 929.149 

would be applicable to the calculation 

of grower sales history for any season, 

making the additional sales history 

adjustment available to growers with 

new acreage. 

In regards to the specific amounts of 

additional sales history per acre 

provided for new acreage in Table 1 in 

§ 929.149, the Committee recommended 

no change. While the amounts were 

based on production data collected in 

2000, the majority of cranberry 

production still comes from the same 

variety as in 2000, as do the majority of 

new plantings. Further, with the average 

yields used to calculate the amounts 

increased by 25 barrels, the calculated 

yields used to develop the additional 

sales history should still be reflective of 

the average yields for new acreage. 

Therefore, the current amounts of 

additional sales history to be applied 

per acre for new or re-planted cranberry 

acreage would remain unchanged by 

this proposed rule. 

The Committee also discussed the 

time period that should be used to 

determine a grower’s highest four years 

of sales when calculating sales history. 

Section 929.149 currently uses the 

average of the highest four of the most 

recent seven years of sales for acreage 

with seven or more years of sales 

history. The formula in § 929.48 

calculates sales history using the 

average of the highest four of the most 

recent six years of sales. The additional 

year provided for in § 929.149 was to 

compensate growers for possible lower 

sales numbers stemming from volume 

regulation in 2000–01, so that grower 

sales history would be more reflective of 

their typical sales. Committee members 

agreed that since volume regulation has 

not been implemented for more than six 

years, the additional year is no longer 

needed, and that the most recent six 

years of sales data would be adequate 

for determining a grower’s highest four 

years of sales. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 93 / Tuesday, May 14, 2013 / Proposed Rules 28151 

Therefore, this proposed rule would 

revise § 929.149 to remove the outdated 

references to specific years so that its 

provisions could be utilized to calculate 

a grower’s sales history for all future 

seasons. The proposed rule would also 

reduce the time period used to 

determine the highest four years of sales 

from seven years to six years. 

Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 

Pursuant to requirements set forth in 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 

U.S.C. 601–612), the Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS) has 

considered the economic impact of this 

action on small entities. Accordingly, 

AMS has prepared this initial regulatory 

flexibility analysis. 

The purpose of the RFA is to fit 

regulatory actions to the scale of 

business subject to such actions in order 

that small businesses will not be unduly 

or disproportionately burdened. 

Marketing orders issued pursuant to the 

Act, and rules issued thereunder, are 

unique in that they are brought about 

through group action of essentially 

small entities acting on their own 

behalf. 

There are approximately 55 handlers 

of cranberries who are subject to 

regulation under the marketing order 

and approximately 1,200 cranberry 

producers in the regulated area. Small 

agricultural service firms are defined by 

the Small Business Administration 

(SBA) as those having annual receipts of 

less than $7,000,000, and small 

agricultural producers are defined as 

those having annual receipts of less than 

$750,000 (13 CFR 121.201). 

Based on Committee data and 

information from the National 

Agricultural Statistics Service, the 

average annual f.o.b. price of cranberries 

during the 2011 season was 

approximately $43.90 per barrel and 

total shipments were approximately 7.5 

million barrels. Using the average f.o.b. 

price and shipment data, the majority of 

cranberry handlers could be considered 

small businesses under SBA’s 

definition. In addition, based on 

production, producer prices, and the 

total number of cranberry growers, the 

average grower revenue is less than 

$750,000. Therefore, the majority of 

growers and handlers of cranberries may 

be considered small entities. 

This proposal would revise the rules 

and regulations pertaining to the 

determination of sales history currently 

prescribed under the order in § 929.149. 

This change would update sales history 

calculations so that they would be 

applicable for future seasons and would 

adjust the number of years that could be 

considered when determining the 

highest four years of past sales. These 

changes were unanimously 

recommended by the Committee at a 

meeting on February 20, 2012. 

Authority for these changes is provided 

in § 929.48 of the order. 

It is not anticipated that this action 

would impose any additional costs on 

the industry. Each year, the Committee 

is required to calculate a sales history 

for each grower. This rule would update 

§ 929.149 making its provisions for 

calculating grower sales history 

applicable to any season. Reducing the 

number of seasons that can be 

considered when determining the 

highest four years of sales from seven 

years to six years in this section, could 

result in a slightly lower average for the 

highest four years. However, as this 

change makes this section reflect the 

calculation currently used by the 

industry for the highest four, and given 

that a grower allotment volume 

regulation has not been implemented in 

more than ten years, the effects of this 

change should be minimal. 

Further, the provisions in § 929.149 

were developed to make the 

calculations of sales history more 

equitable for growers with new acreage. 

Because a cranberry bog does not reach 

full production capacity until several 

years after being planted, using an 

average of early sales for bogs which 

have not reached maturity could result 

in sales histories that do not reflect 

future sales potential. As calculated 

sales history impacts the amount of 

allotment received under volume 

regulation, it is important that the 

calculated sales history is as 

representative of grower sales as 

possible. Revising the calculations in 

§ 929.149 could actually increase the 

calculated amount of sales history for 

new acreage, which in turn would 

provide the grower with additional 

allotment should volume regulation be 

implemented. The benefits of this rule 

are not expected to be 

disproportionately greater or less for 

small handlers or growers than for large 

entities. 

The Committee considered one 

alternative to these changes: making no 

change to the rules and regulations 

pertaining to the determination of sales 

history. The Committee recognized 

making no revisions to the way sales 

history is calculated under § 929.149 

could mean new acreage not yet 

producing at full capacity could receive 

sales history below their potential 

average. Therefore, this alternative was 

rejected. 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, (44 U.S.C. 

Chapter 35), the order’s information 

collection requirements have been 

previously approved by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) and 

assigned OMB No. 0581–0189, Generic 

Fruit Crops. No changes in those 

requirements as a result of this action 

are necessary. Should any changes 

become necessary, they would be 

submitted to OMB for approval. 

This action would not impose any 

additional reporting or recordkeeping 

requirements on either small or large 

cranberry 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. 

AMS is committed to complying with 

the E-Government Act, to promote the 

use of the Internet and other 

information technologies to provide 

increased opportunities for citizen 

access to Government information and 

services, and for other purposes. 

In addition, USDA has not identified 

any relevant Federal rules that 

duplicate, overlap or conflict with this 

proposed rule. 

Further, the Committee’s meeting was 

widely publicized throughout the 

cranberry industry and all interested 

persons were invited to attend the 

meeting and participate in Committee 

deliberations on all issues. Like all 

Committee meetings, the February 20, 

2012, 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 comments on this proposed rule, 

including the regulatory and 

informational impacts of this action on 

small businesses. 

A small business guide on complying 

with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop 

marketing agreements and orders may 

be viewed at: www.ams.usda.gov/ 

MarketingOrdersSmallBusinessGuide. 

Any questions about the compliance 

guide should be sent to Jeffrey Smutny 

at the previously mentioned address in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section. 

A 30-day comment period is provided 

to allow interested persons to respond 

to this proposal. Thirty days is deemed 

appropriate so this rule would be in 

place prior to August, when the 

Committee is planning its next industry 

meeting. At this meeting, the Committee 

members would need to know how sales 

history would be calculated for any 

discussions they may have regarding 

producer allotment volume regulation. 

All written comments timely received 

will be considered before a final 

determination is made on this matter.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede an 

existing airworthiness directive (AD) 

that applies to certain Airbus Model 

A318–111 and –112 airplanes, Model 

A319 series airplanes, Model A320 

series airplanes, and Model A321 series 

airplanes. The existing AD currently 

requires repetitive inspections of the 

80VU rack lower lateral fittings for 

damage; repetitive inspections of the 

80VU rack lower central support for 

cracking; and corrective action if 

necessary. That existing AD also 

specifies optional terminating action for 

the repetitive inspections. Since we 

issued that AD, we have received 

reports of worn lower lateral fittings of 

the 80VU rack. This proposed AD 

would reduce the inspection 

compliance time, add an inspection of 

the upper fittings and shelves of the 

80VU rack, and add airplanes to the 

applicability. We are proposing this AD 

to detect and correct damage or cracking 

of the 80VU fittings and supports, 

which could lead to possible 

disconnection of the cable harnesses to 

one or more computers and, if occurring 

during a critical phase of flight, could 

result in reduced control of the airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by June 28, 2013.
