Jkt 250001
This document announces additional
agricultural commodities that are
eligible for CFAP and the payment rates
for each commodity. In the interest of
announcing additional commodities as
eligible for CFAP as quickly as possible,
to ensure that eligible producers can
apply for and receive their payments as
soon as possible, we are issuing more
than one document in response to the
comments. This document includes
those commodities for which we could
make decisions quickly. For other
commodities, we are reviewing
additional information and will provide
the responses to the comments on those
commodities in a subsequent
announcement. Our goal is also to make
the subsequent announcement as soon
after the publication of this document as
possible.
USDA requested information to
evaluate whether additional
commodities suffered losses that should
result in eligibility for CFAP. The CFAP
notification that requested information
from the public for additional
commodities that suffered losses was
published in the Federal Register on
May 22, 2020 (85 FR 31062–31065) and
a correction was published on June 12,
2020, (85 FR 30812). USDA specifically
requested information in order to
evaluate whether additional
commodities suffered losses that should
result in eligibility for CFAP. Comments
were submitted through June 22, 2020,
and USDA continues to review the
information provided in the comments.
USDA received a total of 1,740
comments. At the time of this document
USDA had reviewed about half of the
comments received. To expedite
payment to growers, USDA is making
recommendations for payment in this
document based on this subset of
comments and further review of market
news data. Additional commodities, if
they meet eligibility criteria, would be
added later.
Comment: Individuals and
organizations requested that a number
of commodities be added to the list of
eligible specialty crops. Commenters
stated that these commodities
experienced price decreases as much as
other commodities originally included
in the final rule and should be added to
the list of eligible commodities to
receive payments. Other commenters
mentioned that certain commodities
could benefit even when no price

Sfmt 4700
decrease was identified because they
were affected by market chain
disruptions. Some comments included
sufficient data for USDA to make a
determination. USDA reviewed Market
News data and found data for some
commodities listed by commenters.
Accordingly, we are adding the
following commodities, based on
comments and Market News data:
Alfalfa Sprouts, Anise, Arugula, Basil,
Bean Sprouts, Beets, Blackberries,
Brussel Sprouts, Celeriac (celery root),
Chives, Cilantro, Coconuts, Collard
Greens, Dandelion Greens, Greens
(others not listed separately), Guava,
Kale Greens, Lettuce Boston, Lettuce
Green Leaf, Lettuce Lolla Rossa, Lettuce
Oak Leaf Green, Lettuce Oak Leaf Red,
Lettuce Red Leaf, Marjoram, Mint,
Mustard, Okra, Oregano, Parsnips,
Passion Fruit, Peas Green, Pineapples,
Pistachios, Radicchio, Rosemary, Sage,
Savory, Sorrel, Sugarcane (table), Swiss
Chard, Thyme, Turnip Tops Green.
Response: We carefully analyzed the
Market News data for the requested
commodities that we evaluated and
have determined that these additional
commodities are eligible for CFAP, as
requested by the commenters. The table
below at the end of this document
provides the payment rates by
commodity.
Comment: A few commenters stated
that USDA had miscalculated price
decreases for commodities such as
blueberries. The commenter ran the
market news reports and came up with
a different conclusion than the original
data included in the May 21, 2020, final
rule. Commenters also provided
additional industry price information
for potatoes and apples and requested
that potatoes be separated between
fresh, fresh russet, processed, and seed
potatoes.
Response: While running reports for
the new commodities requested, USDA
found some inconsistencies in data
points. USDA is correcting the
regulation in 7 CFR part 9 in a final rule
correction published in the Federal
Register to eliminate these errors by
adding eligibility for 5 commodities
under sales losses. The commodities
are: Blueberries, garlic, raspberries,
tangerines and taro.
While doing this review USDA also
found that two commodities no longer
qualify for the sales losses category and
is deleting their availability for this

category. The two commodities are:
peaches and rhubarb. The corrected
payment rates for these commodities are
listed in the rule correction.
USDA also reviewed commenters
information on apples and potatoes,
including separating potatoes into fresh,
processed, and seed. USDA agrees with
commenters data and is providing
corrected payment rates for these
commodities in the rule correction.
USDA is also correcting payment rates
for apples, artichokes, asparagus,
blueberries, cantaloupes, cucumbers,
garlic, kiwifruit, mushrooms, papaya,
peaches, potatoes, raspberries, rhubarb,
tangerines, and taro in the rule.

SUMMARY:

implements an amendment to
regulations issued to carry out a
marketing order as defined in 7 CFR
900.2(j). This rule is issued under
Marketing Agreement and Order No.
956, as amended (7 CFR part 956),
regulating the handling of sweet onions
grown in the Walla Walla Valley of
Southeast Washington and Northeast
Oregon. Part 956 (referred to as the
‘‘Order’’) is effective under the
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act
of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601–674),
hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Act.’’ The
Committee locally administers the
Order and is comprised of producers
and handlers of Walla Walla sweet
onions operating within the production
area, and a public member.
The Department of Agriculture
(USDA) is issuing this rule in
conformance with Executive Orders
13563 and 13175. This rule falls within
a category of regulatory actions that the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) exempted from Executive Order
12866 review. Additionally, because
this rule does not meet the definition of
a significant regulatory action, it does
not trigger the requirements contained
in Executive Order 13771. See OMB’s
Memorandum titled ‘‘Interim Guidance
Implementing Section 2 of the Executive
Order of January 30, 2017, titled
‘Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs’’’ (February 2, 2017).
This rule has been reviewed under
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. Under the Order now in effect,
Walla Walla sweet onion handlers are
subject to assessments. Funds to
administer the Order are derived from
such assessments. It is intended that the
assessment rate be applicable to all
assessable Walla Walla sweet onions for
the 2020 fiscal period and continue
until amended, suspended, or
terminated.
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. Such
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 no later than
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
41323
20 days after the date of the entry of the
ruling.
This final rule increases the
assessment rate from $0.10 per 50pound bag or equivalent, the rate that
was established for the 2017 and
subsequent fiscal periods, to $0.15 per
50-pound bag or equivalent of Walla
Walla sweet onions handled for the
2020 and subsequent fiscal periods.
The Order provides authority for the
Committee, with the approval of USDA,
to formulate an annual budget of
expenses and collect assessments from
handlers to administer the program. The
members are familiar with the
Committee’s needs and with the costs of
goods and services in their local area
and are in a position to formulate an
appropriate budget and assessment rate.
The assessment rate is formulated and
discussed in a public meeting. Thus, all
directly affected persons have an
opportunity to participate and provide
input.
For the 2017 and subsequent fiscal
periods, the Committee recommended,
and USDA approved, an assessment rate
of $0.10 per 50-pound bag or equivalent
of Walla Walla sweet onions handled.
That assessment rate continued in effect
from fiscal period to fiscal period until
modified, suspended, or terminated by
USDA upon recommendation and
information submitted by the
Committee or other information
available to USDA.
The Committee met on February 13,
2020 and unanimously recommended
expenditures of $84,200 and an
assessment rate of $0.15 per 50-pound
bag or equivalent of Walla Walla sweet
onions handled for the 2020 and
subsequent fiscal periods. In
comparison, last fiscal period’s
budgeted expenditures were $99,800.
The assessment rate of $0.15 is $0.05
higher than the rate previously in effect.
The Committee recommended
increasing the assessment rate to
provide sufficient income, along with
interest income and reserve funds, to
cover all of the Committee’s budgeted
expenses for the 2020 fiscal period.
Funds in the reserve are expected to be
$104,377 at the end of the 2020 fiscal
period, which is within the Order’s
requirement of no more than
approximately two fiscal period’s
budgeted expenses.
The major expenditures
recommended by the Committee for the
2020 fiscal period include $47,400 for
administrative, $26,000 for promotions,
$5,000 for travel, $5,000 for research,
and $800 for miscellaneous expenses.
Budgeted expenses for these items in
2019 were $47,400, $41,600, $5,000,
$5,000, and $800 respectively.

Notice of Funding Availability; Coronavirus Food Assistance
Program (CFAP) Additional Eligible Commodities
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, USDA.
ACTION: Notification of funding availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP) helps
agricultural producers impacted by the effects of the COVID-19
outbreak. As provided in the CFAP regulation, this document announces
additional commodities that have been determined to be eligible for
CFAP assistance. USDA carefully reviewed the additional information
provided in the comments to develop the list of additional commodities.
Additional review is ongoing, which will result in a subsequent
announcement.
DATES: Effective: July 10, 2020.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William L. Beam, telephone (202) 720-
3175; email [email protected]. Persons with disabilities or who
require alternative means for communication should contact the USDA
Target Center at (202) 720-2600.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coronavirus Food Assistance Program
(CFAP) helps agricultural producers impacted by the effects of the
COVID-19 outbreak. The CFAP regulations are in 7 CFR part 9. The CFAP
regulations provide the general eligibility requirements, the
application process, and payment calculation information. The CFAP rule
was published in the Federal Register on May 21, 2020 (85 FR 30825-
30835) and a correction published in the Federal Register on June 12,
2020 (85 FR 35799-35800).
This document announces additional agricultural commodities that
are eligible for CFAP and the payment rates for each commodity. In the
interest of announcing additional commodities as eligible for CFAP as
quickly as possible, to ensure that eligible producers can apply for
and receive their payments as soon as possible, we are issuing more
than one document in response to the comments. This document includes
those commodities for which we could make decisions quickly. For other
commodities, we are reviewing additional information and will provide
the responses to the comments on those commodities in a subsequent
announcement. Our goal is also to make the subsequent announcement as
soon after the publication of this document as possible.
USDA requested information to evaluate whether additional
commodities suffered losses that should result in eligibility for CFAP.
The CFAP notification that requested information from the public for
additional commodities that suffered losses was published in the
Federal Register on May 22, 2020 (85 FR 31062-31065) and a correction
was published on June 12, 2020, (85 FR 30812). USDA specifically
requested information in order to evaluate whether additional
commodities suffered losses that should result in eligibility for CFAP.
Comments were submitted through June 22, 2020, and USDA continues to
review the information provided in the comments. USDA received a total
of 1,740 comments. At the time of this document USDA had reviewed about
half of the comments received. To expedite payment to growers, USDA is
making recommendations for payment in this document based on this
subset of comments and further review of market news data. Additional
commodities, if they meet eligibility criteria, would be added later.
Comment: Individuals and organizations requested that a number of
commodities be added to the list of eligible specialty crops.
Commenters stated that these commodities experienced price decreases as
much as other commodities originally included in the final rule and
should be added to the list of eligible commodities to receive
payments. Other commenters mentioned that certain commodities could
benefit even when no price decrease was identified because they were
affected by market chain disruptions. Some comments included sufficient
data for USDA to make a determination. USDA reviewed Market News data
and found data for some commodities listed by commenters. Accordingly,
we are adding the following commodities, based on comments and Market
News data: Alfalfa Sprouts, Anise, Arugula, Basil, Bean Sprouts, Beets,
Blackberries, Brussel Sprouts, Celeriac (celery root), Chives,
Cilantro, Coconuts, Collard Greens, Dandelion Greens, Greens (others
not listed separately), Guava, Kale Greens, Lettuce Boston, Lettuce
Green Leaf, Lettuce Lolla Rossa, Lettuce Oak Leaf Green, Lettuce Oak
Leaf Red, Lettuce Red Leaf, Marjoram, Mint, Mustard, Okra, Oregano,
Parsnips, Passion Fruit, Peas Green, Pineapples, Pistachios, Radicchio,
Rosemary, Sage, Savory, Sorrel, Sugarcane (table), Swiss Chard, Thyme,
Turnip Tops Green.
Response: We carefully analyzed the Market News data for the
requested commodities that we evaluated and have determined that these
additional commodities are eligible for CFAP, as requested by the
commenters. The table below at the end of this document provides the
payment rates by commodity.
Comment: A few commenters stated that USDA had miscalculated price
decreases for commodities such as blueberries. The commenter ran the
market news reports and came up with a different conclusion than the
original data included in the May 21, 2020, final rule. Commenters also
provided additional industry price information for potatoes and apples
and requested that potatoes be separated between fresh, fresh russet,
processed, and seed potatoes.
Response: While running reports for the new commodities requested,
USDA found some inconsistencies in data points. USDA is correcting the
regulation in 7 CFR part 9 in a final rule correction published in the
Federal Register to eliminate these errors by adding eligibility for 5
commodities under sales losses. The commodities are: Blueberries,
garlic, raspberries, tangerines and taro.
While doing this review USDA also found that two commodities no
longer qualify for the sales losses category and is deleting their
availability for this
[[Page 41322]]
category. The two commodities are: peaches and rhubarb. The corrected
payment rates for these commodities are listed in the rule correction.
USDA also reviewed commenters information on apples and potatoes,
including separating potatoes into fresh, processed, and seed. USDA
agrees with commenters data and is providing corrected payment rates
for these commodities in the rule correction. USDA is also correcting
payment rates for apples, artichokes, asparagus, blueberries,
cantaloupes, cucumbers, garlic, kiwifruit, mushrooms, papaya, peaches,
potatoes, raspberries, rhubarb, tangerines, and taro in the rule.

The complete list of all eligible specialty crops and payment rates
is available at https://www.farmers.gov/cfap/specialty. USDA is still
evaluating comments and will issue another document with additional
determinations and payment rates.
The correction in the payment rates and the resulting changes in
the eligibility for specific types of payments per commodity will not
change CFAP costs.
