Tart Cherries

Marketing Order for Tart Cherries (7 CFR 930)

May 2025

This Justification for Change seeks OMB’s approval on updates to one form used in the specialty crop industry.

This Justification of Change seeks OMB approval on corrections to one form that is a part of OMB No. 0581-0177: Tart Cherries. Cherry Industry Growers complete the Grower Diversion Application to report to the Cherry Industry Administrative Board (Board) revised or new orchard maps. This allows the Board to accurately assess and collect assessment fees for the indicated crop year.

The following form currently requires an “Authorization for Release of Production Information to Your Insurance Carrier” that request information on the grower’s insurance carrier to streamline the reporting of orchard maps. Notification of the insurance carrier is no longer required by the Cherry Industry Administrative Board as a reporting platform is now used for the grower to access information and notify the insurance carrier. In addition, the Cherry Industry Administrative Board has recently changed offices and have updated their mailing address to ensure the correct delivery of forms to the Board. The Board has also updated their contact information to reflect an updated email address and to remove a fax number that is no longer in operation. By making this change form users will have a more streamlined completion and up-to-date contact information that will not affect the burden hours for those completing this form.

1. Cherry Industry Administrative Board Grower Diversion Application, CIAB Form 6 (§ 930.158): This form is used to report revised or new orchard maps to the Cherry Industry Administrative Board (Board) as well as provides an Authorization for Release of Production Information to Insurance Carrier’s. Assessment fees collected by the Board from growers for yearly expenditures are based on maps submitted accompany this form.
