PDF 60-Day notice

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 36 / Friday, February 22, 2019 / Notices
essential to carry out the intent of the
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act
of 1937 (Act), as amended (7 U.S.C.
601–674), to provide the respondents
the type of service they request, and to
administer the California almond
marketing order (7 CFR part 981), which
has been operating since 1950.
The marketing order and its rules and
regulations authorize the Almond Board
of California (Board), the agency
responsible for local administration of
the marketing order, to require handlers
and other certain entities to submit
information.
Since September 2007, the Board has
been operating a mandatory program
under the marketing order to help
reduce the potential for Salmonella in
almonds. The Board had developed
forms as a means for handlers to file
required information with the Board
relating to the treatment of almonds.
Almond handlers are required to submit
annual treatment plans to the Board and
inspection agency regarding how they
plan to treat their almonds in
compliance with the program.
Entities interested in being almond
process authorities that validate
technologies are required to submit an
application to the Board on ABC Form
No. 51, ‘‘Application for Process
Authority for Almonds.’’ Manufacturers
in the United States, Canada, and
Mexico interested in being approved to
accept untreated almonds, provided
they agree to treat the almonds
themselves under the Board’s Direct
Verifiable (DV) program, are required to
submit an application to the Board on
ABC Form No. 52, ‘‘Application for
Direct Verifiable (DV) Program for
Further Processing of Untreated
Almonds.’’ Entities interested in being
approved DV user auditors are required
to apply to the Board on ABC Form No.
53, ‘‘Application for Direct Verifiable
(DV) Program Auditors.’’ To ensure
compliance with the mandatory
program, entities are required to use
either an on-site or audit-based
verification program and annually
submit a treatment plan to the Board on
ABC Form No. 54, ‘‘Handler Treatment
Plan.’’
The information collected is used
only by authorized representatives of
USDA, including AMS, Specialty Crops
Program’s regional and headquarters’
staff, and authorized employees and
agents of the Board. Authorized Board
employees, agents, and the industry are
the primary users of the information,
and AMS is the secondary user.
Estimate of Burden: Public reporting
burden for this collection of information
is estimated to average 1.5 hours per
response.
