The Order
(7 CFR part 1206) is authorized under
the Commodity Promotion, Research,
and Information Act of 1996 (Act) (7
U.S.C. 7411–7425).
The Order became effective on
November 3, 2004. It is administered by
the National Mango Board (Board) with
oversight by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA). The program is
financed by an assessment of three
quarters of a cent per pound on first
handlers and importers of 500,000
pounds or more of mangos annually.
The Order specifies that first handlers
are responsible for submitting
assessments to the Board on a monthly
basis and maintaining records necessary
to verify their reporting. Importers are
responsible for paying assessments on
mangos imported for consumption in
the United States through the U.S.
Customs and Border Protection. The
purpose of the Order is to carry out an
effective, continuous, and coordinated
program of promotion, research, and
information designed to strengthen
mangos’ competitive position, and to
maintain and expand the domestic
market for mangos.
The Board is composed of 18
members as follows: 8 Importers; 2
domestic producers; 1 first handler; and
7 foreign producers. Nominations for
importer, domestic producer, and first
handler members are solicited by
importers, domestic producers, and first
handlers, respectively. Nominations for
foreign producer members are solicited
from foreign producers and foreign
producer associations. Members are
appointed to the Board by the Secretary
of Agriculture and serve a term of three
years.
The AMS published in the Federal
Register on March 24, 2006, (71 FR
14827) its plan to review certain
regulations, including the mango
program, under criteria contained in
section 610 of the RFA (5 U.S.C. 601–
612). Because many AMS regulations
impact small entities, AMS decided, as
a matter of policy, to review certain
regulations which, although they may
not meet the threshold requirement
under section 610 of the RFA, warrant
review. According to the schedule
published in 2006, this notice and
request for comments is made for the
Order.
The purpose of the review is to
determine whether the Order should be

continued without change, amended, or
rescinded (consistent with the
objectives of the Act) to minimize the
impacts on small entities. AMS will
consider the following factors: (1) The
continued need for the Order; (2) the
nature of complaints or comments
received from the public concerning the
Order; (3) the complexity of the Order;
(4) the extent to which the Order
overlaps, duplicates, or conflicts with
other Federal rules, and, to the extent
feasible, with State and local
regulations; and (5) the length of time
since the Order has been evaluated or
the degree to which technology,
economic conditions, or other factors
have changed in the area affected by the
Order.
Written comments, views, opinions,
and other information regarding the
Order’s impact on small businesses are
invited.
