Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 83 / Monday, May 2, 2005 / Notices
committed to carrying out this authority
in a manner that facilitates the
marketing of agricultural commodities
and makes copies of official standards
available upon request. The United
States Standards for Grades of Fruits
and Vegetables that are not
requirements of Federal Marketing
Orders or U.S. Import Requirements, no
longer appear in the Code of Federal
Regulations, but are maintained by
USDA, AMS, Fruit and Vegetable
Programs.
AMS is proposing to establish
voluntary United States Standards for
Grades of Pea Pods using the procedures
that appear in Part 36, Title 7 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (7 CFR part
36).
Background
At a 2003 meeting of the Fruit and
Vegetable Industry Advisory Committee,
AMS was asked to identify fresh fruit
and vegetables that may be better served
if grade standards are developed. As a
result, AMS identified pea pods, or as
they are sometimes called snow peas, as
a commodity possibly in need of official
grade standards. Such standards are
used by the fresh produce industry to
describe the product they are trading,
thus facilitating the marketing of the
product. AMS is soliciting comments on
the possible development of voluntary
standards for pea pods and the probable
impact of such possible standards on
distributors, processors and growers.
Prior to undertaking detailed work to
develop standards, AMS is soliciting
comments on the possible development
of the United States Standards for
Grades of Pea Pods.
This notice provides for a 60-day
comment period for interested parties to
comment on the possible development
of standards. Should AMS conclude that
there is a need for the standards, the
proposed standards will be published in
the Federal Register with a request for
comments in accordance with 7 CFR
part 36.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627.
Dated: April 26, 2005.

Acting Administrator, Agricultural Marketing
Service.
