The Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC) is amending
regulations as required by the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
(the 2008 Farm Bill) to remove a
provision concerning CCC fees for
administrative costs to collect
commodity assessments. The 2008 Farm
Bill prohibits CCC from collecting these
fees. As a result of this amendment,
CCC, rather than States or commodity
associations, will absorb the
administrative costs of implementing
and modifying commodity assessment
collections.
DATES: Effective Date: November 19,
2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1616 of the 2008 Farm Bill (Pub. L. 110–
246) prohibits CCC from charging any
fee or related cost for the collection of
commodity assessments. Therefore, this
rule removes a provision relating to
such fees. CCC has already implemented
this policy and is not charging such
fees.
Many States charge assessments on
commodities marketed in that State and
use the assessment to fund State level
agricultural promotion activities. CCC
has agreements with States to collect the
assessments. When authorized by State
law, CCC deducts the assessment from
SUMMARY:

Frm 00001

the proceeds of a Marketing Assistance
Loan (MAL) on behalf of the State. In
the past, CCC has charged fees to cover
the administrative costs of collecting the
assessment, including costs to modify
the rate of the assessment or to develop
the automation software to begin the
collection of a newly mandated
commodity assessment. The agreement
between CCC and the States has
required the States to indemnify CCC for
the administrative costs of collecting the
assessments.
CCC will continue to collect
commodity assessments as part of the
MAL program, but is no longer charging
fees for the administrative costs.
Therefore, the cost to MAL customers
for CCC’s administration of commodity
assessments has decreased to zero. CCC
estimates that this will save producers,
their marketing associations, and the
States about $15,000 per year.
Notice and Comment
These regulations are exempt from the
notice and comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedures Act (5 U.S.C.
553), as specified in section 1601(c) of
the 2008 Farm Bill, which requires that
the regulations be promulgated and
administered without regard to the
notice and comment provisions of
Section 553 of title 5 of the United
States Code or the Statement of Policy
of the Secretary of Agriculture effective
July 24, 1971 (36 FR 13804) relating to
notices of proposed rulemaking and
public participation in rulemaking.
Executive Order 12866
This final rule has been designated as
not significant under Executive Order
12866 and has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This rule is not subject to the
Regulatory Flexibility Act since CCC is
not required to publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking for this rule.
Environmental Evaluation

rule have been considered in a manner
consistent with the provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321–4347), the
regulations of the Council on
Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts
1500–1508), and FSA regulations for
compliance with NEPA (7 CFR part
