CN-01-004] RIN 0581-ACOO Revision of Regulations for Determining Price Quotations for Spot Cotton AGENCY:
Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service is amending the regulations concerning designation of the spot markets used to calculate differences for tenderable qualities delivered against cotton futures contracts. The re-designated spot markets will better reflect the trading value of tenderable qualities. Presently, regulations provide for the Secretary of Agriculture to determine and designate spot markets from which spot cotton price information can be collected.
Currently, there are seven designated markets that qualify under the Cotton Futures Act requirements and five of those are designated to determine differences for the settlement of futures contracts. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, in an effort to better reflect market transparency, approved a request from the New York Board of Trade that the spot markets used to calculate commercial differences in Cotton Futures Exchange deliveries be re-designated. The requested changes were as follows: replace the South Delta quote with the West Texas quote; and replace the North Delta quote with the average of the combined North and South Delta quotes.
Including West Texas quotes and combining and averaging North and South Delta quotes provides a more accurate reflection of cotton that is traded for cotton futures contracts. EFFECTIVE DATE: April 1, 2003. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Norma McDill, Deputy Administrator, Cotton Program, AMS, USDA, STOP 0224, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20250-0224. Telephone
(202)720-2145, facsimile
(202)690-1718, or e-mail *norma.mcdill@usda.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A proposed rule detailing the revisions was published in the **Federal Register** on July 23, 2002, (67 FR 48050). A 90-day comment period was provided for interested persons to respond to the proposed rule. No comments were received and no changes have been made in the provisions of the final rule. Executive Order 12866 This rule was determined to be not significant for purposes of Executive Order 12866, and, therefore, has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Executive Order 12988 This final rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. It is not intended to have retroactive effect. This final rule would not preempt any state or local laws, regulations, or policies, unless they present an irreconcilable conflict with this rule. There are no administrative procedures which must be exhausted prior to any judicial challenge to the provisions of this rule. Regulatory Flexibility Act Pursuant to requirements set forth in the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA)(5 U.S.C. 601 *et seq.* ), AMS has considered the economic impact of this action on small entities and has determined that its implementation will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The New York Cotton Future Market traders include the entire cotton industry: farmers, merchants, and textile mill owners. There are an estimated 3,000 traders. This final rule would affect all such traders. The majority of the traders are small businesses under the criteria established by the Small Business Administration. Amending the regulations to change the designated spot markets for determining tenderable differences will not significantly affect small businesses as defined under the RFA because:
(1)The information gathered will be more reflective of the cotton traded for cotton futures contracts and add more transparency to the market;
(2)The competitive position or market access of small entities in the cotton industry would not be affected;
(3)No new costs would be imposed on the affected industry. Paperwork Reduction Act In compliance with Office of Management and Budget
(OMB)regulations (5 CFR part 1320) which implement the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA)(44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ) the information collection requirements contained in the regulation to be amended have been previously approved by OMB and were assigned control number 0581-0029 under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ). Background The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized under the U.S. Cotton Futures Act (7 U.S.C. 15b) to make such regulations as determined necessary to carry out the provisions of the Act. The Act provides for the designation of at least five bona fide spot markets from which spot cotton price information can be collected. Presently, there are seven such designated markets that qualify under the Cotton Futures Act requirements. The seven designated markets are as follows: Southeastern, North Delta, South Delta, East Texas and Oklahoma, West Texas, Desert Southwest and San Joaquin Valley. For the purposes of determining settlement of futures contracts five of the seven spot markets are used. They are Southeastern, North Delta, South Delta, East Texas and Oklahoma, and Desert Southwest. The Cotton Program of the Agricultural Marketing Service provides market information from these spot markets under the Cotton Statistics and Estimates Act (7 U.S.C. 473b) and the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (7 U.S.C. 1622(g)). The Commodity Futures Trading Commission, in an effort to better reflect market transparency, approved a request from the New York Board of Trade to change the spot markets used to calculate commercial differences in Cotton Futures Exchange deliveries. This final rule would change the designation of the spot markets which are used daily to calculate price differences for cotton futures contracts. The current designations were published in the **Federal Register** on August 4, 1988 (53 FR 29327). As previously stated, differences are quoted for those qualities of cotton which are tenderable on active futures contracts in five designated markets. These differences are averaged to obtain the differences quoted for futures settlement. This final rule would provide that differences would continue to be quoted for those qualities of cotton which are tenderable on active futures contracts in all of the five markets currently designated for this purpose. However, the West Texas spot market would be added as a bone fide spot market for the settlement of futures contracts, and the North Delta and South Delta spot markets would be combined and averaged together when used for this purpose of calculating differences of tenderable qualities for the settlement of futures contracts. This final rule would change the calculation of differences of tenderable qualities for the settlement of futures contracts to be the average of the differences of
(1)the Southeastern spot market;
(2)the East Texas/Oklahoma spot market;
(3)the West Texas spot market;
(4)the Desert Southwest spot market; and
(5)the combination and averaging of the North Delta and South Delta spot markets. The remaining designated spot markets would not change. These modifications are expected to more accurately reflect the trading value of tenderable cotton on futures contracts and add more transparency in the market.
