Vol. 88, No. 34
Tuesday, February 21, 2023
This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER
contains notices to the public of the proposed
issuance of rules and regulations. The
purpose of these notices is to give interested
persons an opportunity to participate in the
rule making prior to the adoption of the final
rules.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

7 CFR Part 959 and 980
[Doc. No. AMS–SC–21–0003; SC21–959–2]
Onions Grown in South Texas and
Imported Onions; Termination of
Marketing Order 959 and Change in
Import Requirements; Withdrawal
Agricultural Marketing Service,
Department of Agriculture (USDA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
AGENCY:
The Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS) is withdrawing the
proposed rule to terminate the Federal
marketing order regulating the handling
of onions grown in South Texas and the
rules and regulations issued thereunder,
and the proposed corresponding change
to the onion import regulation. After
reviewing the results of a second
producer referendum and considering
the comments received on the proposed
rule, the proposed rule is being
withdrawn.
DATES: The proposed rule published
August 5, 2021 at 86 FR 42748 and reopened on November 8, 2021 at 86 FR
61718, is withdrawn as of February 21,
2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Email: Abigail.Maharaj@usda.gov or
Christian.Nissen@usda.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
withdrawal is issued under Marketing
Order No. 959, as amended (7 CFR part
959), regulating the handling of onions
grown in South Texas. Part 959 (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
South Texas Onion Committee
(Committee) locally administers the

Order and is comprised of producers
and handlers operating within the
production area.
The withdrawal is also issued under
section 8e of the Act (7 U.S.C. 608e–1),
which provides whenever certain
specified commodities, including
onions, are regulated under a Federal
marketing order, imports of those
commodities into the United States are
prohibited unless they meet the same or
comparable grade, size, quality, and
maturity requirements as those in effect
for the same domestically produced
commodities.
This action withdraws a proposed
rule published in the Federal Register
on August 5, 2021 (86 FR 42748),
seeking public input on terminating the
Order and the rules and regulations
issued thereunder and making a
corresponding change in the onion
import requirements. AMS reopened the
public comment period for the proposed
rule for an additional 30 days in a notice
published in the Federal Register on
November 8, 2021 (86 FR 61718). The
proposed termination was based on the
results of a continuance referendum
conducted by USDA from September 21
to October 13, 2020, in which producers
failed to support the continuation of the
Order. Section 959.84(d) of the Order
provides that USDA shall conduct a
referendum within six years after the
establishment of the Order and every
sixth year thereafter to ascertain
whether continuance is favored by
producers. The section further provides
that USDA would consider termination
of the Order if fewer than two-thirds of
the producers voting in the referendum,
and producers of less than two-thirds of
the volume of onions represented in the
referendum favor continuance.
During both comment periods, AMS
received a combined total of 90
comments. All the comments may be
viewed on the internet at https://
www.regulations.gov. Of the comments
received, 5 comments indicated support
for termination, with 85 comments
indicating opposition to termination.
Thirty-three of all comments were from
the production area, with 31 opposing
termination of the Order. After
reviewing and considering all comments
received during both comment periods,
the Secretary of Agriculture determined
conducting a second referendum as
appropriate to better assess the level of
producer support for the continuation of
PO 00000

the Order. AMS conducted the second
referendum September 1 through
October 3, 2022, and continuance of the
Order received the support of 78.6
percent of South Texas onion producers
voting in the referendum. Continuance
was favored by 73.7 percent of the
volume voted in the referendum.
After reviewing all relevant materials,
AMS determined the proposed rule to
terminate the Order should be
withdrawn. Accordingly, the proposed
rule to terminate the Order that was
published in the Federal Register on
August 5, 2021 is hereby withdrawn. In
addition, enforcement of the obligation
to pay assessments at the rate of $0.05
per 50-pound equivalent, which was
administratively suspended on March
15, 2021, is re-instated for the 2022–23
fiscal period and subsequent fiscal
periods, as published in the Federal
Register on June 30, 2020 (85 FR 39047).

events, and to describe information that
the staff needs in its review of
applications for permits and licenses.
The DG, entitled ‘‘Perimeter Intrusion
Alarm Systems,’’ (ADAMS Accession
No. ML22194A912) is temporarily
identified by its task number DG–5065,
which is proposed Revision 4 of RG 5.44
of the same name.
This DG provides implementing
guidance acceptable to the NRC staff for
meeting requirements in NRC
regulations related to the functions of
perimeter intrusion detection sensors
and detection methods. The DG
provides guidance on sensors and
methods that can be integrated to form
an effective perimeter intrusion
detection system. In addition, the DG
provides guidance on selecting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Privacy Act is the principal law
governing the handling of personal
information in the Federal government.
It governs the collection, maintenance,
use, and dissemination of information
about individuals that is maintained in
systems of records by Federal agencies.
The Privacy Act also affords individuals
a right of access to records pertaining to
them and a right to have inaccurate
records corrected. The Commission last
amended its Privacy Act regulations in
2011.
In the course of reviewing our
regulations under the Privacy Act, we
have identified areas where it would be
beneficial to clarify, update, and
streamline the language of several
provisions. Accordingly, we are
proposing revisions to our Privacy Act
regulations. The proposed revisions
include: adding a provision setting forth
the process by which individuals may
be provided with an accounting of
disclosures made by the Commission;
adding a provision to codify the existing
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
10483
practice of providing 90 days to file an
administrative appeal in response to a
denial of a Privacy Act inquiry or
request; deleting certain existing
provisions that are duplicative and
unnecessary; reorganizing certain
provisions; and updating the fee
provisions.1 Due to the scope of the
proposed revisions, the proposed rule
would replace the Commission’s current
Privacy Act regulations in their entirety
(17 CFR 200.301 through 200.313).
II. Discussion of the Proposed Rule
A. Proposed Amendments To Update,
Clarify, and Streamline the Privacy Act
Regulations
We are proposing to amend certain
procedural provisions to clarify, update,
and streamline the Commission’s
regulations.2 The proposed revisions,
among other things: clarify the purpose
and scope of the regulations (proposed
Section 200.301); update definitions so
that the processes set forth in the
regulations are more plainly described
(proposed 17 CFR 200.302); simplify the
processes for submitting and receiving
responses to Privacy Act inquiries,
requests, and administrative appeals
(proposed 17 CFR 200.303, 305, 306,
307, and 308); allow for requesters to
electronically verify their identities,
including by facsimile, email, or an
online Commission form (proposed 17
CFR 200.303); 3 provide for a shorter
Commission response time to Privacy
Act inquiries as to whether a specific
system of records maintained by the
Commission contains a record
pertaining to the requester, which aligns
with other relevant time lines (proposed
17 CFR 200.304); update agency contact
information (e.g., office names, facsimile
numbers, email addresses, and physical
addresses) (proposed 17 CFR 200.303,
305, 308, and 309); and update the list
of Commission systems of records that
have promulgated rules exempting
certain records from certain provisions
of the Privacy Act (proposed 17 CFR
200.310).
B. Proposed Revisions to Fee Provisions
The proposed amendments would
revise the fee provisions (proposed 17
CFR 200.309) to update the provisions
to reflect existing practice. The present
rule states that fees for copying
documents will be determined by rates
set by contract with commercial copiers.
1 The terms ‘‘inquiry’’ and ‘‘request’’ are defined
in 5 U.S.C. 552a.
2 These amendments are discussed in greater
detail in Section IV. Economic Analysis.
3 The Office of FOIA Services currently accepts
electronic submission of verification of identity in
all of these formats.
