SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

Agency: Agricultural Marketing 

Service (AMS). 

Title: 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; Marketing Order No. 

929. 

OMB Number: 0581–NEW. 

Type of Request: New Information 

Collection. 

Abstract: The information 

requirements in this request are 

essential to carry out the intent of the 

Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act 

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

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

provide the respondents the type of 

service they request, and to administer 

the cranberry marketing order program. 

The United States Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) is responsible for 

overseeing Marketing Agreement and 

Order No. 929, as amended (7 CFR part 

929), 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, hereinafter referred 

to as the ‘‘order.’’ The order is effective 

under the Act. 

On August 31, 2017, the Cranberry 

Marketing Committee (Committee) 

recommended establishing a handler 

withhold volume regulation for the 

2017–18 season in response to 

historically high inventory levels for 

cranberries. Following the 

recommendation for the handler 

withhold, the Committee developed the 

forms necessary to effectively carry out 

the handler withhold. Given that the 

industry has begun harvesting the 2017– 

18 crop, these forms need to be effective 

immediately. 

On September 15, 2017, the 

Committee unanimously recommended 

that cranberry handlers covered under 

the order provide the Committee with a 

report indicating the anticipated total 

quantity of cranberries acquired by the 

handler, the amount withheld from 

handling, and the disposition of such 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 194 / Tuesday, October 10, 2017 / Notices 46955 

withheld cranberries during the crop 

year. This form, titled ‘‘Handler 

Withholding Report,’’ will be submitted 

directly to the Committee by handlers 

by June 1, 2018. This report will give 

the Committee background data on how 

each handler plans to meet the 

requirements of the handler withhold 

volume regulation. 

The Committee also recommended 

that handlers covered under the order 

submit a report certifying whenever a 

disposal of withheld cranberries is 

made. This report will contain 

information regarding the volume, the 

form of disposed cranberries, and 

information on the container type. This 

form, titled ‘‘Handler Disposal 

Certification,’’ will be submitted 

directly to the Committee by handlers 

following each disposal activity. This 

information collection provides the 

Committee with data regarding the 

amount of cranberries diverted and the 

information needed to help track 

handler compliance with the 

recommended handler withhold. 

The Committee also recommended 

that handlers provide the Committee 

with a record of withheld cranberries 

disposed of in non-commercial outlets. 

This form, titled ‘‘Handler Application 

for Outlets for Withheld Fruit,’’ will be 

submitted directly to the Committee by 

handlers to provide information 

regarding the type, form, and volume of 

cranberries disposed of in 

noncompetitive outlets. Handlers will 

submit this form prior to each disposal 

activity of this type to provide the 

Committee with the opportunity to 

review and approve the requested 

outlet. This information collection 

provides the Committee with 

information on the noncompetitive 

outlets used to meet the requirements 

for withheld cranberries, and is 

necessary for the Committee to track 

compliance with the recommended 

handler withhold. 

The Committee also recommended 

that handlers submit a report confirming 

the third-party receipt of withheld fruit. 

This form, titled ‘‘Third-Party 

Confirmation of Receipt of Withheld 

Fruit,’’ will include certification by 

outlets receiving withheld cranberries 

for use in a noncompetitive outlet. This 

form needs to be filed after each 

shipment of withheld fruit received by 

noncompetitive outlets, such as 

charities. This report contains 

information on the type, form, and 

volume of withheld fruit received. This 

reporting requirement helps track the 

disposition of withheld cranberries and 

facilitates compliance with the 

recommended handler withhold. 

The Committee also recommended 

establishing a form for handlers to use 

to appeal any denial of a request made 

for disposing of cranberries in a 

noncompetitive outlet. This form, titled 

‘‘Handler Withholding Appeal,’’ will 

need to be submitted by the handler 

making the appeal within 30 days of the 

denial. This form will include 

information on why the handler is 

making the appeal and what additional 

information is being provided. 

The order authorizes the Committee 

to collect certain information as 

required. The information collected will 

only be used by authorized 

representatives of the USDA, including 

the AMS Specialty Crops Program 

regional and headquarters staff, and 

authorized employees of the Committee. 

All proprietary information will be kept 

confidential in accordance with the Act 

and the order. 

The Committee developed these forms 

to effectively carry out a handler 

withhold volume regulation for the 

2017–18 season. The purpose of these 

forms will be to ensure compliance with 

the recommended handler withhold. 

Upon OMB approval of the new forms 

and the information collection package, 

AMS will request OMB approval to 

merge the new forms and this 

information collection in the currently 

approved information collection OMB 

control number 0581–0189, Fruit Crops. 

The new information collection under 

the order is as follows:
