SUMMARY:
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 no longer appear in the
Code of Federal Regulations are
maintained by AMS at:

vegetables. AMS is revising these U.S.
Standards for Grades using the
procedures that appear in part 36 of
Title 7 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (7 CFR part 36).
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Background
The Department of Agriculture has
submitted the following information
collection requirement(s) to OMB for
review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13. Comments are
requested regarding whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of burden including
the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments regarding this information
collection received by April 8, 2021 will
be considered. Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be
submitted within 30 days of the
publication of this notice on the
following website www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this
particular information collection by
selecting ‘‘Currently under 30-day
Review—Open for Public Comments’’ or
by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor a collection of information
unless the collection of information
displays a currently valid OMB control
number and the agency informs
potential persons who are to respond to
the collection of information that such
persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
AMS periodically reviews the grade
standards for usefulness in serving the
industry. More recently developed grade
standards use a single term, such as
‘‘U.S. Grade A’’ or ‘‘U.S. Grade B,’’ to
describe each level of quality within a
grade standard. Older grade standards
used dual nomenclature, such as ‘‘U.S.
Grade A or U.S. Fancy’’ and ‘‘U.S. Grade
B or U.S. Extra Standard’’ to describe
the same level of quality. The terms
‘‘U.S. Fancy,’’ and ‘‘U.S. Extra
Standard’’ have been removed and the
terms ‘‘U.S. Grade A,’’ U.S. Grade B,’’
and ‘‘Substandard (Sstd)’’ are used
exclusively.
AMS also made editorial changes to
these grade standards, updating section
headings omitted in previous revisions,
and adding language and allowances for
mixed color varieties to align the
standards with use of mixed color
varieties by industry. The addition of
language and allowances differentiating
between conventional sweet and
supersweet types incorporates language
from USDA internal guidance
documents A–412, September 1967
Frozen Whole Kernel Whole-Grain Corn
Evaluation of Tenderness and Maturity,
and A–493, October 1997, Interpretative
Guide for Frozen Supersweet Whole
Kernel Corn to Determine: Tenderness
and Maturity; and Flavor. These internal
USDA documents were created with the
intention of incorporating them into the
standards.
On October 21, 2020, AMS published
a notice inviting comments on proposed
revisions to the U.S. Standards for
Grades of Frozen Corn on the Cob in the
Federal Register (85 FR 66926). No
comments were received. This revision
to these grade standards provides
common language for trade and better
reflects the current marketing of frozen
corn on the cob.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621–1627.
Bruce Summers,
Administrator, Agricultural Marketing
Service.

provided in the Federal Meat Inspection
Act (FMIA) (21 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and
the Poultry Products Inspection Act
(PPIA) (21 U.S.C. 451 et seq.). These
statutes mandate that FSIS protect the
public by ensuring that meat and
poultry products are safe, wholesome,
unadulterated, and properly labeled and
packaged. FSIS regulations establish a
common or usual name for raw meat
and poultry products that do not meet
standard or identity regulations and to
which solutions have been added.
Products with added solutions are
sometimes called referred to as
‘‘enhanced products.’’
Need and use of the Information: FSIS
requires establishments that
manufacture products containing added
solutions to label the products with a
descriptive designation that provides an
accurate description of the raw meat or
poultry component, the percentage of
added solution incorporated into the
raw meat or poultry product, and the
individual ingredients or multiingredient components in the solution
listed in the descending order of
predominance by weight on the product
label. FSIS also requires that the
product name and the descriptive
designation be printed in a single easyto-read type style and color and on a
single-color contrasting background.
Description of Respondents: Business
or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 6,100.
