[FR Doc. 2012–31521 Filed 12–31–12; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6325–39–P VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:06 Dec 31, 2012 Jkt 229001 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 12866 The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has waived the review process required by Executive Order 12866 for this action. Executive Order 12988 This rule was reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. It is not intended to have a retroactive effect. The Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act (Act) provides that nothing in this subtitle may be construed to preempt or supersede any other program relating to soybean promotion, research, consumer PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 information, or industry information organized and operated under the laws of the United States or any State. The Act provides that administrative proceedings must be exhausted before parties may file suit in court. Under § 1971 of the Act, a person subject to the Soybean Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Order (Order) may file a petition with the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) stating that the Order, any provision of the Order, or any obligation imposed in connection with the Order, is not in accordance with law and requesting a modification of the Order or an exemption from the Order. The petitioner is afforded the opportunity for a hearing on the petition. After a hearing, the Secretary would rule on the petition. The Act provides that the district courts of the United States in any district in which such person is an inhabitant, or has his principal place of business, has jurisdiction to review the Secretary’s ruling on the petition, if a complaint for this purpose is filed within 20 days after the date of the entry of the ruling. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Agricultural Marketing Service has determined that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), because it only adjusts representation on the Board to reflect changes in production levels that have occurred since the Board was reapportioned in 2009. The purpose of the RFA is to fit regulatory actions to the scale of businesses subject to such actions in order that small businesses will not be unduly burdened. As such, these changes will not impact on persons subject to the program. There are an estimated 589,182 soybean producers and an estimated 10,000 first purchasers who collect assessments, most of whom would be considered small businesses under the criteria established by the Small Business Administration (SBA) [13 CFR 121.201]. SBA defines small agricultural producers as those having annual receipts of less than $750,000, and small agricultural firms as those having annual receipts of less than $7,000,000. Paperwork Reduction Act In accordance with OMB regulations [5 CFR part 1320] that implement the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44 E:\FR\FM\02JAR1.SGM 02JAR1
