SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
203(c) of the Agricultural Marketing Act
of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621–1627), as
amended, directs and authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture ‘‘To develop
and improve standards of quality,
condition, quantity, grade and
packaging and recommend and
demonstrate such standards in order to
encourage uniformity and consistency
in commercial practices.’’ AMS is
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 not connected with
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 considering whether to revise
the U.S. Standards for Grades of
Oranges (California and Arizona) and
United States Standards for Grades of
Grapefruit (California and Arizona)
using the procedures that appear in Part
36, Title 7 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (7 CFR part 36). These
standards were last revised in 1999.
Background
AMS has identified the United States
Standards for Grades of Oranges
(California and Arizona) and/or United
States Standards for Grades of
Grapefruit (California and Arizona) for
possible revisions. AMS has identified
the standards may need to be revised to
reflect current marketing trends.
However, prior to undertaking detailed
work to develop proposed revisions to
the standards, AMS is seeking
suggestions from the industry on
possible revisions, such as: changing the
basic requirements to the grades, or
changing the tolerances in order to make
them more suitable for the markets,
adding additional definitions, or
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
revising the existing definitions
particularly those that contain scoring
guides for defects. These areas for
possible revisions are only illustrative.
AMS invites suggestions on all aspects
of these standards that may need to be
revised.
This notice provides for a 60-day
comment period for interested parties to
comment on whether any changes are
necessary to the standards. Should AMS
conclude that there is a need for any
revisions of the standards, the proposed
revisions 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.
