(application) | 0.00 | 19220.00 | 19,220.00 | 2018 Farm Bill mandates traders and brokers must become certified. AMS estimates 961 or nine (9) percent of the 3846 operations in NAICS code 425 which defines a broker, trader or facilitator of transactions of agricultural products domestically (see RIA). To estimate the number of foreign operations impacted, AMS benchmarked them as equal in number to the 961 domestic operations affected since total domestic organic sales nearly equals foreign organic sales. AMS estimates 1922 new handlers in this category, and estimates recordkeeping at 10 hours annually. | ADJ |

AMS is assuming that the 961 formerly excluded domestic handlers that are required to be certified are the same organic handlers that will need to verify the compliance of the 67,023 imported shipments.
