7 CFR Part 1205 

[AMS–CN–17–0041] 

Cotton Research and Promotion 

Program: Procedures for Conduct of 

Sign-Up Period 

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, 

USDA. 

ACTION: Correcting amendments. 

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS) is making corrections to 

the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 

by revising the authority citation for its 

regulation, Cotton Research and 

Promotion. In a final rule published in 

the Federal Register on June 24, 2015, 

changes were inadvertently made to 

remove a legal citation from the 

authority citation and to erroneously 

include an unnecessary authority 

citation after a section in AMS 

regulations. This document corrects 

those errors. 

DATES: Effective August 16, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document provides correcting 

amendments to the Cotton Research and 

Promotion Order (Order), found at 7 

CFR part 1205, so that complete and 

appropriate authority is stated in the 

Order. In a final rule published in the 

Federal Register on June 24, 2015 (80 

FR 36231), the rules and regulations 

regarding the procedures for the 

conduct of a sign-up period for eligible 

cotton producers and importers to 

request a continuance referendum on 

the 1991 amendments to the Order were 

revised. In that final rule, changes were 

inadvertently made to remove ‘‘7 U.S.C. 

7401’’ from the authority citation. In 

addition, AMS discovered that an 

irrelevant authority citation ‘‘Authority: 

7 U.S.C. 2101–2118’’ occurs after 

§ 1205.29(c) in the CFR. This document 

corrects those errors by reinserting ‘‘7 

U.S.C. 7401’’ into the authority citation 

that was removed from Title 7 of the 

CFR, part 1205, and by removing the 

unnecessary authority citation placed 

after § 1205.29(c) of the Order. 

List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1205

Accordingly, 7 CFR part 1205 is

§ 1205.29 [Amended] 

■ 2. In § 1205.29, remove the following 

language ‘‘(Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2101– 

2118.)’’ from the end of the section. 

Dated: August 9, 2017.
