SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to Marketing Agreement and Order No.
956, both as amended (7 CFR Part 956),
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
the producers. The referendum shall be
conducted from September 14 through
October 4, 2013, among Walla Walla
sweet onion producers in the
production area. Only Walla Walla
sweet onion producers that were
engaged in the production of Walla
Walla sweet onions in Washington and
Oregon, during the period of January 1
through December 31, 2012, 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 a
majority of the producers voting in the
referendum and producers of a majority
of the volume of Walla Walla sweet
onions represented in the referendum
do not favor continuance. In evaluating
the merits of continuance versus
termination, USDA will not exclusively
consider the results of the continuance
referendum. USDA will also consider all
other relevant information concerning
the operation of the order and the
relative benefits and disadvantages to
producers, handlers, and consumers in
order to determine whether continued
operation of 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. 3501–
3520), the ballot materials to be used in
the referendum herein ordered have
been submitted to and approved by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) and have been assigned OMB
No. 0581–0178, Vegetable and Specialty
Crop Marketing Orders. It has been
estimated that it will take an average of
20 minutes for each of the
approximately 21 producers of Walla
Walla sweet onions in Washington and
Oregon to cast a ballot. Participation is

voluntary. Ballots postmarked after
October 4, 2013, will not be included in
the vote tabulation.
Manuel Michel and Gary D. Olson of
the Northwest Marketing Field Office,
Fruit and Vegetable Program, AMS,
USDA, are hereby designated as the
referendum agents of the Secretary of
Agriculture to conduct this referendum.
The procedure applicable to the
referendum shall be the ‘‘Procedure for
the Conduct of Referenda in Connection
With Marketing Orders for Fruits,
Vegetables, and Nuts Pursuant to the
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act
of 1937, as Amended’’ (7 CFR 900.400–
900.407).
Ballots will be mailed to all producers
of record and may also be obtained from
the referendum agents, or from their
appointees.
