sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with PROPOSALS
insoluble impurities for lampante oil.
Because this was an oversight, Table III is
revised to show that these analyses are ‘‘Not
Applicable’’ for ‘‘moisture and volatile
matter’’ and ‘‘insoluble impurities in light
petroleum.’’
(30) Comment: A method of analysis for
preparation of methyl esters should
accompany the methods of analysis for fatty
acid composition.
AMS agrees and added the suggested
method to the list of methods of analysis.
AMS also found that pesticide residue tests
were included in the revised 2006 IOC trade
standards so this test was added to the U.S.
grade standards.
(31) Comment: For future consideration:
i. Consider defining limits for premium
extra virgin olive oil.
ii. Set new limits for fatty acid
composition, desmethylsterol, total sterol,
saturated fatty acid in the two position in
triglycerides and unsaponifiable matter.
iii. Set stricter limits for free fatty acid as
oleic, peroxide value, absorbency in UV.
iv. Research future analysis for inclusion in
the standard.
AMS continually reviews its grade
standards. AMS facilitates the fair and
efficient marketing of agricultural products
by promulgating voluntary official grade
standards. AMS develops, revises, suspends,
or terminates the official grade standards
under procedures that allow for input by
interested parties. As new science becomes
available or the IOC and Codex standards are
revised, AMS will consider updating the
grade standards as appropriate.
AMS believes that the revised grade
standards would facilitate the marketing
of olive oil and olive-pomace oil, better
reflect terms that are currently in use in
the marketplace, provide definitions for
olive oil and olive-pomace oil, promote
truth in labeling, and provide a basis for
enforcement by State and Federal
agencies if these products are
mislabeled.
The official grades of olive oil and
olive-pomace oil in these standards are
covered by the procedures set forth in
the Regulations Governing the
Inspection and Certification for
Processed Fruits and Vegetables,
Processed Products Thereof and Certain
Other Processed Food Products (7 CFR
52.1–52.83).
The revised U.S. Standards for Grades
of Olive Oil and Olive-Pomace Oil will
become effective 180 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register to allow sufficient time to
implement the standards.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627.
Dated: April 22, 2010.

ACTION: Notice.
The Department of
Commerce, as part of its continuing
effort to reduce paperwork and
respondent burden, invites the general
public and other Federal agencies to
take this opportunity to comment on
proposed and/or continuing information
collections, as required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted on or before June 28, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Direct all written comments
to Diana Hynek, Departmental
Paperwork Clearance Officer,
Department of Commerce, Room 6625,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Abstract
The Coastal Zone Management Act of
1972 (CZMA; 16 U.S.C. 1461 et seq.)
provides for the designation of estuarine
research reserves representative of
various regions and estuarine types in
the United States to provide
opportunities for long-term research,
education and interpretation. During the
site selection and designation process,
information is collected from states in
order to prepare a management plan and
environmental impact statement.
Designated reserves apply annually for
operations funds by submitting a work
plan; subsequently progress reports are
required every six months for the
duration of the award. Each reserve
compiles an ecological characterization
or site profile to describe the biological
and physical environment of the
reserve, research to date and research
gaps. A competitive research program
provides an opportunity for two
researchers to focus their work at each
reserve. The reserves are evaluated
every three years, per section 312 of the
Act, and revise their management plans
