Pursuant
to Marketing Order No. 983 (7 CFR part
983), hereinafter referred to as the
‘‘order,’’ and the applicable provisions of
the Agricultural Marketing Agreement
Act of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601–
674), hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Act,’’
it is hereby directed that a referendum
be conducted to ascertain whether
continuance of the order is favored by
producers. The referendum shall be
conducted from November 1 through
November 20, 2010, among eligible
California, Arizona, and New Mexico
pistachio producers. Only producers
that were engaged in the production of
pistachios in California, Arizona, or
New Mexico during the period of
September 1, 2009, through August 31,
2010, may participate in the
continuance referendum.
USDA has determined that
continuance referenda are an effective
means for determining whether
producers favor the continuation of
marketing order programs. USDA would
consider termination of the order if less
than two-thirds of the producers voting
in the referendum or producers of less
than two-thirds of the volume of
California, Arizona, and New Mexico
pistachios represented in the
referendum favor continuance of their
program. In evaluating the merits of
continuance versus termination, USDA
will consider the results of the
continuance referendum and other
relevant information regarding
operation of the order. USDA will
evaluate the order’s relative benefits and
disadvantages to producers, handlers,
and consumers to determine whether
continuing the order would tend to
effectuate the declared policy of the Act.
In accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35), the ballot materials used in
the referendum herein ordered have
been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), under
OMB No. 0581–0215, Pistachios Grown
in California, Arizona and New Mexico.
It has been estimated that it will take an
average of 20 minutes for each of the
approximately 840 producers of
California, Arizona, and New Mexico
pistachios to cast a ballot. Participation
is voluntary. Ballots postmarked after

of 1937, as Amended’’ (7 CFR 900.400–
