SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Christmas Tree Promotion,
Research, and Information Program
(Order).
OMB Number: 0581–0268.
Expiration Date of Approval:
December 31, 2013.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of a
previously approved collection for
which approval has expired.
Abstract: The Order, which was
established through the publication of a
final rule on November 8, 2011 (76 FR
69094), was created to help strengthen
the position of Christmas trees in the
marketplace, and maintain, develop,
and expand markets for Christmas trees
in the United States. The Order is
authorized under the Commodity
Promotion, Research, and Information
Act of 1996 (1996 Act) (7 U.S.C. 7411–
7425). On November 17, 2011, a final
rule was published that stayed
indefinitely the regulations establishing
the Order (76 FR 71241) to provide
additional time for USDA to reach out
to the Christmas tree industry and the
public to explain how a research and
promotion program is a producer driven
program to support American farmers.
The stay is being lifted in accordance
with the provisions of the Agriculture
Act of 2014 (2014 Farm Bill), and the
Christmas tree program will be
administered by the Christmas Tree
Promotion Board (Board) appointed by
the Secretary of Agriculture and
financed by a mandatory assessment on
producers and importers of fresh cut
Christmas trees. The assessment rate
will be $0.15 per Christmas tree cut and
sold domestically or imported into the
United States. The program will provide
for an exemption for producers and
importers that cut and sell or import
fewer than 500 Christmas trees
annually. A referendum will be held
among eligible producers and importers
to determine whether they favor
continuation of the program three years
after assessments first begin.
The information collection
requirements in this request are
essential to carry out the intent of the
Order when the stay is lifted under the
authority of the 2014 Farm Bill. Section
10014 of the Farm Bill states that not
later than 60 days after the date of the
enactment of the 2014 Farm Bill, the
Secretary of Agriculture shall lift the
administrative stay that was imposed
and published in the Federal Register
on November 17, 2011.
