Justification for Change Worksheet
OMB No. 0581-0178 Vegetable and Specialty Crops
Federal Marketing Order for Walnuts Grown in California (7 CFR Part 984)
June 2019
This Justification for Change seeks OMB’s approval on modifications to one form that is part of OMB No. 0581-0178, Vegetable and Specialty Crops. The California Walnut Board uses the form to locally administer handling regulations authorized by a Federal marketing order (7 CFR part 984) under the Agricultural Marketing Service’s oversight.
Ballot – Producer Members and Alternates (No form number; §§ 984.37 and 984.437): Walnut producers in California complete the ballot to nominate candidates to serve as members and alternates for the Department of Agriculture’s consideration for appointment. The Board asked for modification to the previous version to clarify instructions and avoid confusing text that hindered previous nomination cycles. The Board also formatted the document on 8 ½ x 14 size paper instead of 8 ½ x 11 size paper to better accommodate its filing system.
Modifications to the ballot do not affect the estimated 5-minute timespan producers need to complete the revised form.
