United States Standards for Grades of
Creole Onions
Agricultural Marketing Service,
USDA.
ACTION: Final notice.
AGENCY:
This Notice revises the U.S.
Standards for Grades of Creole Onions,
which are issued under the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946. The Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS) is amending
the similar varietal characteristic
requirement to allow mixed colors of
onions, when designated as a mixed or
specialty pack, to be certified to a U.S.
grade. In addition, AMS will correct
language and remove the ‘‘Unclassified’’
category from the standards. These
revisions will align the standards with
today’s marketing practices and provide
the industry with greater flexibility.
DATES: Effective Date: November 24,
2014.

current U.S. Standards for Grades of
Creole Onions are available on the SCI
Division Web site at https://www.ams.
usda.gov/scihome.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
203(c) of the Agricultural Marketing Act
of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1621–1627), as
amended, directs and authorizes the
Secretary of Agriculture ‘‘to develop and
improve standards of quality, condition,
quantity, grade and packaging, and
recommend and demonstrate such
standards in order to encourage
uniformity and consistency in
commercial practices.’’ AMS is
committed to carrying out this authority
in a manner that facilitates the
marketing of agricultural commodities
and makes copies of official standards
available upon request. The U.S.
standards for grades of fruits and
vegetables that are not connected with
marketing orders or U.S. import
requirements no longer appear in the
Code of Federal Regulations, but are
maintained by USDA, AMS, Fruit and
Vegetable Program, and are available on
the Internet at www.ams.usda.gov/
scihome.
AMS is revising the voluntary U.S.
Standards for Grades of Creole Onions
using the procedures that appear in Part
36, Title 7 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (7 CFR part 36).
Background and Comments
The industry, particularly in Idaho,
Oregon, Texas, and Washington, are
packing mixed colors of onions.
Currently, the Creole onion standards
do not permit certifying a U.S. grade to
a pack that comingles colors, such as
white onions with yellow to brownish
red onions.
On August 22, 2013, AMS published
a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR
52131) proposing to revise the U.S.
Standards for Grades of Creole Onions
to allow mixed color packs of onions to
be certified to a U.S. grade. We apprised
the onion industry of this notice to
foster widespread participation in the
Part 36 process. The comment period
closed on October 21, 2013. No
comments were received. Based on the
information gathered, AMS will amend
the similar varietal characteristic
requirement in the U.S. No. 1 and U.S.
No. 2 sections of the standards by
adding ‘‘except color when designated
as a specialty or mixed pack.’’ The U.S.
Combination grade section also will be
amended to reflect this change.
In addition, AMS will eliminate the
‘‘Unclassified’’ section. AMS is
removing this section from standards for
all commodities as they are revised.

Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
This category, which is not a grade and
only serves to show that no grade has
been applied to the lot, is no longer
necessary.
Furthermore, AMS will replace the
capital ‘‘S’’ with a small ‘‘s’’ on the
word ‘‘Seedstems’’ in the U.S. No. 1 and
U.S. No. 2 sections of the standards to
correct a formatting error.
These revisions will facilitate onion
marketing in the competitive U.S.
market.
The official grade of a lot of Creole
onions covered by these standards will
be determined by the procedures set
forth in the Regulations Governing
Inspection, Certification, and Standards
of Fresh Fruits, Vegetables and Other
Products (Sec. 51.1 to 51.61).
The U.S. Standards for Grades of
Creole Onions will be effective 30 days
after publication of this notice in the
Federal Register.

Charge 1 15 CFR § 764.2(d)—Conspiracy
Beginning at least in 2008, and continuing
through in or about January 2012, Faizy,
Ghavidel and Techonweb conspired and
acted in concert with others, known and
unknown, to bring about an act that
constitutes a violation of the Regulations.
The purpose of the conspiracy was to bring
about the export of computers, items
classified as 5A992 on the Commerce Control
1 The
Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR Parts 730–
774 (2014). The charged violation occurred between
2005 and 2012. The Regulations governing the
violation at issue are found in the 2005–2012
versions of the Code of Federal Regulations (15 CFR
Parts 730–774). The 2014 Regulations set forth the
procedures that apply to this matter.
2 50 U.S.C. app. §§ 2401–2420 (2000). Since
August 21, 2001, the Act has been in lapse and the
President, through Executive Order 13222 of August
17, 2001 (3 CFR, 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which
has been extended by successive Presidential
Notices, the most recent being that of August 7,
2014 (79 Fed. Reg. 46959 (Aug. 11, 2014)), has
continued the Regulations in effect under the
International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. § 1701, et seq.) (2006 & Supp. IV 2010).

List and valued at $1,015,757, by Techonweb
from the United States through the United
Arab Emirates (‘‘UAE’’) to Iran, without the
required U.S. Government authorization.3
Items classified as 5A992 are subject to
control for Anti-Terrorism reasons, and,
pursuant to Section 742.8 and 746.7(a) of the
Regulations, a license was required to export
these items to Iran at all times pertinent
hereto. The items were also subject to the
Iranian Transaction Regulations (‘‘ITR’’) 4
administered by the Department of the
Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control
(‘‘OFAC’’). The Regulations also prohibited
the export or reexport to Iran, whether
directly or transshipped through a third
country, of any item subject to both the
Regulations and the ITR, if the transaction
was not authorized by OFAC.5 In order to
avoid duplication, exporters and reexporters
were not required under the Regulations to
seek authorization from both BIS and OFAC
for exports or reexports subject to both the
EAR and the ITR, and accordingly an
authorization granted by OFAC was
considered authorization for purposes of the
EAR as well. However, Faizy, Ghavidel, and
Techonweb did not seek or obtain
authorization from BIS, or from OFAC, in
connection with any of the activities or
transactions alleged herein.
Specifically, in furtherance of the
conspiracy, Faizy, Ghavidel and Techonweb,
which was owned by Faizy and Ghavidel and
for which Faizy served as President and
Director and Ghavidel served as Chief
Financial Officer and Director, participated
in a scheme to export computers to Iran
without the required licenses. In or about
2008, Faizy and Ghavidel attended a
computer trade show in Dubai, UAE, to
recruit and obtain contact information from
potential customers in Iran. After forming the
conspiracy, Faizy and Ghavidel then
communicated with their co-conspirators
through electronic mail, instant messaging
and other forms of electronic
communication, using fictitious names and
coded language to obscure the true identities
and locations of the ultimate consignees.
Faizy and Ghavidel, through Techonweb,
obtained computers from various suppliers in
the United States for the purposes of selling
and exporting the computers to Iran.
Additionally, in furtherance of the
conspiracy, from December 2009 through
March 2011, Faizy and Ghavidel, through
Techonweb, exported 1,038 computers,
3 Pursuant to Section 734.2(b)(6) of the
Regulations, the export of an item from the United
States to a second country intended for
transshipment to a third country is deemed to be
an export to that third country.
4 31 CFR Part 560 (2008–2012). Subsequent to the
violation charged herein, OFAC changed the
heading of 31 CFR Part 560 from the Iranian
Transactions Regulations to the Iranian
Transactions and Sanctions Regulations (‘‘ITSR’’),
amended the renamed ITSR in part, and reissued
them in their entirety. See 77 Fed. Reg. 64,664 (Oct.
22, 2012). 31 CFR Part 560 remains the same in
pertinent part.
5 Pursuant to Section 560.204 of the ITR, an
export to a third country intended for
transshipment to Iran was a transaction that
required OFAC authorization at all times pertinent
hereto. See also notes 3 and 4, supra.
