SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This final
rule is issued under the general
regulations for federal marketing
agreements and orders (7 CFR part 900),
effective under the Agricultural
Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as
amended (7 U.S.C. 601–674), hereinafter
referred to as the ‘‘Act.’’ This action
adds a new § 900.202 (Restrictions
applicable to Committee personnel)
under ‘‘Subpart—Miscellaneous
Regulations’’ to accentuate the
applicability of U.S. antitrust laws to
marketing order program activities.
The Department of Agriculture
(USDA) is issuing this final rule in
conformance with Executive Orders
12866, 13563, and 13175.
This rule has been reviewed under
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. This rule is not intended to
have retroactive effect.
The Act provides that administrative
proceedings must be exhausted before
parties may file suit in court. Under
section 608c(15)(A) of the Act, any
handler subject to an order may file
with USDA a petition 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 request a modification of the order
or to be exempted therefrom. A handler
is afforded the opportunity for a hearing
on the petition. After the hearing, USDA
would rule on the petition. The Act
provides that the district court of the
United States in any district in which
the handler is an inhabitant, or has his
or her principal place of business, has
jurisdiction to review USDA’s ruling on
the petition, provided an action is filed
not later than 20 days after the date of
the entry of the ruling.
This final rule implements an
amendment to the general regulations
for federal fruit, vegetable, and specialty
crop marketing agreements and
marketing orders that would accentuate
the applicability of U.S. antitrust laws to
marketing order programs’ domestic and
foreign activities. This action advises
marketing order board and committee
members and personnel of the
restrictions, limitations, and liabilities
imposed by those laws.
Federal marketing order boards and
committees have always been subject to
U.S. antitrust laws. These boards and
committees work with USDA in
