Cranberries Grown in States of

Massachusetts, Rhode Island,

Connecticut, New Jersey, Wisconsin,

Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon,

Washington, and Long Island in the

State of New York

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service,

USDA.

ACTION: Referendum order.

SUMMARY: This document directs that a

referendum be conducted among

eligible growers of cranberries to

determine whether they favor

continuance of the marketing order

regulating the handling of cranberries

grown in the States of Massachusetts,

Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey,

Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota,

Oregon, Washington, and Long Island in

the State of New York.

DATES: The referendum will be

conducted from May 15 through May

26, 1995. To vote in this referendum,

growers must have been producing

cranberries during the period September

1, 1994, through March 31, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the marketing

order may be obtained from the Office

of the Docket Clerk, Marketing Order

Administration Branch, Fruit and

Vegetable Division, AMS, USDA, P.O.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to Marketing Order No. 929 (7 CFR part

929), 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 growers. The referendum

shall be conducted during the period

May 15 through May 26, 1995, among

cranberry growers in the production

area. Only growers that were engaged in

the production of cranberries during the

period of September 1, 1994, through

March 31, 1995, may participate in the

continuance referendum.

The Secretary of Agriculture has

determined that continuance referenda

are an effective means for ascertaining

whether growers favor continuation of

marketing order programs. The

Secretary would consider termination of

the order if less than two-thirds of the

growers voting in the referendum and

growers of less than two-thirds of the

volume of cranberries represented in the

referendum favor continuance. In

evaluating the merits of continuance

versus termination, the Secretary would

not only consider the results of the

continuance referendum. The Secretary

would also consider other relevant

information concerning the operation of

the order; the order’s relative benefits

and disadvantages to growers, handlers,

and consumers; and whether continued

operation of the order would tend to

effectuate the declared policy of the Act.

In any event, section 8c(16)(B) of the

Act requires the Secretary to terminate

an order whenever the Secretary finds

that a majority of all growers affected by

the order favor termination, and such

majority produced for market more than

50 percent of the commodity covered

under such order.

In accordance with the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C.

chapter 35), the ballot materials to be

used in the referendum herein ordered

have been submitted to and approved by

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) and have been assigned OMB

No. 0581–0103 for cranberries. It has

been estimated that it will take an

average of 20 minutes for each of the

approximately 1,050 growers of

cranberries to cast a ballot. Participation

is voluntary. The voting period is May

15 through May 26, 1995. Ballots

postmarked after May 26, 1995, will not

be included in the vote tabulation.

Patricia A. Petrella and Kathleen M.

Finn of the Marketing Order

Administration Branch, Fruit and

Vegetable Division, Agricultural

Marketing Service, USDA, are hereby

designated as the referendum agents of

the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct

such referendum. The procedure

applicable to the referendum shall be

the ‘‘Procedure for the Conduct of
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 78 / Monday, April 24, 1995 / Proposed Rules 20065

Referenda in Connection With

Marketing Orders for Fruit, Vegetables,

and Nuts Pursuant to the Agricultural

Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as

Amended’’ (7 CFR part 900.400 et. seq.).

Ballots will be mailed to all growers

of record and may also be obtained from

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Amendments of 1993 granted Treasury

the authority to prescribe large position

recordkeeping and reporting rules for

certain Treasury securities. An advance

notice of proposed rulemaking was

published to advise market participants

of our intention to issue large position

recordkeeping and reporting

regulations, describe the purposes of,

The Department has received a

request for a 30 day extension of the

comment period from a trade

association representing approximately

300 government securities brokers and

dealers (Public Securities Association,

PSA). PSA has requested the extension

in order to permit the association to

obtain additional information from its

membership and more fully discuss the

additional time requested, the

Department agrees to extend the

comment period until May 24, 1995.

Dated: April 19, 1995.
