Form FV-53 & Form FV-163

This change of worksheet addresses modifications to two forms currently approved under OMB No. 0581-0189. FV-53 is a Continuance Referendum form for the Cranberry Marketing Committee. FV-163 is a Confidential Background Statement form for the Florida Citrus Administrative Committee. All changes are merely cosmetic and will not affect the burden. The hours per response would remain at 0.33 for FV-53, and 0.0380 for FV-163. Below are justifications for the changes to FV-53 and FV-163.

FV-53:

Form-53 is used by the Cranberry Marketing Committee to collect votes from cranberry producers on whether to continue the marketing order. The referendum agent address on the form is no longer valid. Therefore, the new address is provided. The cranberry producers are familiar with this change and this will not require additional time or burden to review the page. No other changes were made to this form.

FV-163:

FV-163 is used to collect information to determine whether the nominated grower is eligible to serve on the Florida Citrus Committee. The form is highlighted in yellow to indicate where the two changes are. Due to redistricting in the marketing order, FV-163 will display three (3) check-boxes instead of four (4) in the District No. selection space. Due to changes to qualifications for grower membership on the Committee, question 6 on FV-163 is revised to state that growers employed by shippers are also eligible for nomination to serve on the Committee. No other changes were made. These textual changes do not affect the burden of this form.
