Background 

At a 2003 meeting with the Fruit and 

Vegetable Industry Advisory Committee, 

AMS was asked to review all the fresh 

fruit and vegetable grade standards for 

usefulness in serving the industry. AMS 

had identified the United States 

Standards for Grades of Dewberries and 

Blackberries for a possible revision. The 

United States Standards for Grades of 

Dewberries and Blackberries were last 

amended on February 13, 1928. 

On June 21, 2005, a notice seeking 

comments on the possible revision of 

the standards to allow for a lesser 

amount of color or varying shades of 

color was published in the Federal 

Register (70 FR 21392) with the 

comment period ending August 22, 

2005. 

Two comments were received from 

the industry during the official period 

for comment. Both comments received 

did not support the revision of the 

standards based on color being a factor 

of the ripening process, and the effect 

that it has on the marketing of 

dewberries and blackberries. 

After reviewing and considering the 

comments received, the Agency has 

decided not to proceed further with this 

action. 

Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627.

Foreign–Trade Zones Board 

[Docket T–3–2005] 

Foreign–trade Zone 77 –– Memphis, 

Tennessee, Application for Temporary/ 

interim Manufacturing Authority, 

Brother Industries (U.S.A.) Inc., 

(Manufacture/Refurbish Toner 

Cartridges), Bartlett, Tennessee 

An application has been submitted to 

the Executive Secretary of the Foreign–

Trade Zones Board (the Board) by the 

City of Memphis and Shelby County, 

Division of Planning and Economic 

Development, grantee of FTZ 77, 

requesting temporary/interim 

manufacturing (T/IM) authority within 

Subzone 77B at the Brother Industries 

(U.S.A.) Inc. plant located in Bartlett, 

Tennessee. The application was filed on 

September 29, 2005. 

The Brother facility (260 employees; 

annual capacity for 120,000 toner 

cartridges) is located within Subzone 

77B. Under T/IM procedures, the 

company has requested authority to 

manufacture, remanufacture, charge and 

recharge toner cartridges (HTS 8472.90 

and 8473.30; these products enter the 

United States duty free). The company 

may source the following items from 

abroad for manufacturing of one or both 

of the finished products under T/IM 

authority, as delineated in Brother’s 

application: toner (HTS 3707.90); toner 

caps (3923.50); collars, guards, and 

covers (3926.90); seals (5911.90); labels 

(4821.10); developer rollers (9009.99); 

bearings (8483.30); springs (7320.20); 

gears (8483.90); retaining rings 

(7318.29); washers (7318.22); and 

‘‘lower film’’ (3919.90). Duty rates on 

these inputs range from duty–free to 

6.5%. T/IM authority could be granted 

for a period of up to two years. Brother 

has also submitted a request for 

permanent FTZ manufacturing authority 

(for which Board filing is pending), 

which includes five additional inputs. 

FTZ procedures would allow Brother 

to elect the finished–product duty rates 

for the imported production inputs 

listed above. The company indicates 

that it would also realize logistical/ 

paperwork savings under FTZ 

procedures.Public comment is invited
