No. AMS-SC-21-0040; SC21-915-1 FR] Avocados Grown in South Florida; Increased Assessment Rate AGENCY:

Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Department of Agriculture (USDA). ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This rule implements a recommendation from the Avocado Administrative Committee to increase the assessment rate established for the 2021-22 and subsequent fiscal years. The assessment rate will remain in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated. DATES: Effective January 6, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Abigail Campos, Marketing Specialist, or Christian D.

Nissen, Regional Director, Southeast Region Branch, Market Development Division, Specialty Crops Program, AMS, USDA; Telephone:

(863)324-3375, Fax:

(863)291-8614, or Email: *Abigail.Campos@usda.gov* or *Christian.Nissen@usda.gov.* Small businesses may request information on complying with this regulation by contacting Richard Lower, Market Development Division, Specialty Crops Program, AMS, USDA, 1400 Independence Avenue SW, STOP 0237, Washington, DC 20250-0237; Telephone:

(202)720-2491, or Email: *Richard.Lower@usda.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, amends regulations issued to carry out a marketing order as defined in 7 CFR 900.2(j). This rule is issued under Marketing Agreement No. 121 and Marketing Order No. 915, both as amended (7 CFR part 915), regulating the handling of avocados grown in south Florida. Part 915, (referred to as “the Order”) is effective under the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, as amended (7 U.S.C. 601-674), hereinafter referred to as the “Act.” The Avocado Administrative Committee (Committee) locally administers the Order and is comprised of growers and handlers operating within the area of production, and a public member. The Department of Agriculture

(USDA)is issuing this rule in conformance with Executive Orders 12866 and 13563. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess all costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public health and safety effects, distributive impacts, and equity). Executive Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and benefits, reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and promoting flexibility. This action falls within a category of regulatory actions that the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB)exempted from Executive Order 12866 review. This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 13175—Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, which requires agencies to consider whether their rulemaking actions would have tribal implications. AMS has determined this rule is unlikely to have substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. Under the Order now in effect, Florida avocado handlers are subject to assessments. Funds to administer the Order are derived from such assessments. It is intended that the assessment rate be applicable to all assessable Florida avocados for the 2021-22 fiscal year, and continue unless amended, suspended, or terminated. The Act provides that administrative proceedings must be exhausted before parties may file suit in court. Under section 608c(15)(A) of the Act, any handler subject to an order may file with USDA a petition stating that the order, any provision of the order, or any obligation imposed in connection with the order is not in accordance with law and request a modification of the order or to be exempted therefrom. Such handler is afforded the opportunity for a hearing on the petition. After the hearing, USDA would rule on the petition. The Act provides that the district court of the United States in any district in which the handler is an inhabitant, or has his or her principal place of business, has jurisdiction to review USDA's ruling on the petition, provided an action is filed not later than 20 days after the date of the entry of the ruling. This rule increases the assessment rate, established for the Committee for the 2021-22 and subsequent fiscal years, from $0.35 to $0.45 per 55-pound bushel container of avocados. The Order authorizes the Committee, with the approval of USDA, to formulate an annual budget of expenses and collect assessments from handlers to administer the program. Nine of the ten members of the Committee are producers and handlers of Florida avocados. They are familiar with the Committee's needs and with the costs for goods and services in their local area and are able to formulate an appropriate budget and assessment rate. The assessment rate is formulated and discussed in a public meeting and all directly affected persons have an opportunity to participate and provide input. For the 2016-17 and subsequent fiscal years, the Committee recommended, and USDA approved, an assessment rate that would continue in effect from fiscal year to fiscal year unless modified, suspended, or terminated by USDA upon recommendation and information submitted by the Committee or other information available to USDA. The Committee met on April 14, 2021, and recommended 2021-22 expenditures of $348,484 and an assessment rate of $0.45 per 55-pound bushel container of avocados. In comparison, the previous fiscal year's budgeted expenditures were $280,484. The assessment rate of $0.45 is $0.10 higher than the rate currently in effect. During the last few fiscal years, the Committee has not funded research projects. However, the laurel wilt disease continues to challenge the avocado industry. The Committee discussed the need for research funding and added $80,000 to its proposed budget for this research and recommended increasing the assessment rate to cover the additional expense. At the current assessment rate, assessment income would equal only $280,000, an amount insufficient to cover the Committee's anticipated expenditures of $348,484. By increasing the assessment rate by $0.10, assessment income will be $360,000. This amount should provide sufficient funds to meet 2021-2022 anticipated expenses. Major expenditures recommended by the Committee for the 2021-22 fiscal year include $116,164 for salaries, $80,000 for research, and $53,350 for employee benefits. Budgeted expenses for these items in 2020-21 were $116,164, $0, and $53,350, respectively. The assessment rate recommended by the Committee was derived by reviewing anticipated expenses, expected shipments of Florida avocados, and fiscal the level of funds in reserve. Avocado shipments for the year are estimated at 800,000 55-pound bushel containers, which, as mentioned before, should provide $360,000 in assessment income (80,000 containers × $0.45). Income derived from handler assessments at the new rate, along with interest income, should be adequate to cover budgeted expenses. Funds in the reserve (currently about $250,000) will be kept within the maximum permitted by the Order (approximately three fiscal years' expenses as authorized in § 915.42). The assessment rate established in this rule will continue in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated by USDA upon recommendation and information submitted by the Committee or other available information. Although this assessment rate will be in effect for an indefinite period, the Committee will continue to meet prior to or during each fiscal year to recommend a budget of expenses and consider recommendations for modification of the assessment rate. The dates and times of Committee meetings are available from the Committee or USDA. Committee meetings are open to the public and interested persons may express their views at these meetings. USDA will evaluate Committee recommendations and other available information to determine whether modification of the assessment rate is needed. Further rulemaking would be undertaken as necessary. The Committee's 2021-22 budget and those for subsequent fiscal years will be reviewed and, as appropriate, approved by USDA. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Pursuant to requirements set forth in the Regulatory Flexibility Act

(RFA)(5 U.S.C. 601-612), the Agricultural Marketing Service

(AMS)has considered the economic impact of this rule on small entities. Accordingly, AMS has prepared this final regulatory flexibility analysis. The purpose of the RFA is to fit regulatory actions to the scale of businesses subject to such actions in order that small businesses will not be unduly or disproportionately burdened. Marketing orders issued pursuant to the Act, and the rules issued thereunder, are unique in that they are brought about through group action of essentially small entities acting on their own behalf. There are approximately 325 producers of Florida avocados in the production area and 25 handlers subject to regulation under the Order. Small agricultural producers are defined by the Small Business Administration

(SBA)as those having annual receipts less than $1,000,000, and small agricultural service firms are defined as those whose annual receipts are less than $30,000,000 (13 CFR 121.201). According to the National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS), the average grower price paid for Florida avocados during the 2020-21 fiscal year was $21.97 per 55-pound bushel. Utilized production was equivalent to 624,364 55-pound bushels for a total value of approximately $13,718,830. Dividing the crop value by the estimated number of producers

(325)yields an estimated average receipt per producer of $42,212, so the majority of producers will have annual receipts of less than $1,000,000. USDA Market News reported April 2021 terminal market prices for green skinned avocados were about $36.43 per 24-pound container. Using this price and the total utilization, the total 2020-21 handler crop value is estimated at $52.1 million. Dividing this figure by the number of handlers

(25)yields an estimated average annual handler receipts of over $2 million, which is below the SBA threshold for small agricultural service firms. Thus, the majority of Florida avocado producers and handlers are classified as small entities. This rule increases the assessment rate established for the Committee and collected from handlers for the 2021-22 and subsequent fiscal years from $0.35 to $0.45 per 55-pound bushel container of avocados. The Committee recommended 2021-22 expenditures of $348,484 and an assessment rate of $0.45 per 55-pound bushel container. The assessment rate of $0.45 is $0.10 higher than the previous rate. The quantity of assessable avocados for the 2021-22 season is estimated at 800,000 55-pound bushel containers. Thus, the $0.45 rate will provide $360,000 in assessment income and be adequate to meet this year's expenses. Major expenditures recommended by the Committee for the 2021-22 fiscal year include $116,164 for salaries, $80,000 for research, and $53,350 for employee benefits. Budgeted expenses for these items in 2020-21 were $116,164, $0, and $53,350, respectively. In recent years, the Committee did not fund any research. However, Committee members believe further research is needed to address laurel wilt disease and voted to commit $80,000 to research in the coming fiscal year. At the current assessment rate and with the 2021-22 crop estimated to be 800,000 55-pound bushel containers, assessment income would equal only $280,000, an amount insufficient to cover the Committee's anticipated expenditures of $348,484. By increasing the assessment rate by $0.10, assessment income would be approximately $360,000. This amount will provide sufficient funds to meet 2021-22 anticipated expenses. Consequently, the Committee recommended increasing the assessment rate. Prior to arriving at this budget and assessment rate, the Committee considered information from various sources, including its Research Subcommittee. The Committee discussed alternative expenditure levels based upon the relative value of various activities to the south Florida avocado industry. The Committee ultimately determined that 2021-22 expenditures of $348,484, including the additional funds for research, were appropriate, and the recommended assessment rate, along with interest income, should generate sufficient revenue to meet its expenses. A review of historical information and preliminary information pertaining to the upcoming season indicates that the grower price for the 2021-22 season should be around $20-25 per 55-pound bushel container of avocados. Therefore, the estimated assessment revenue for the 2021-22 fiscal year as a percentage of total grower revenue would be between 1.8 and 2.25 percent. This action increases the assessment obligation imposed on handlers. While assessments impose some additional costs on handlers, the costs are minimal and uniform on all handlers. Additionally, these costs will be offset by the benefits derived by the operation of the Order. The Committee's meeting was widely publicized throughout the Florida avocado industry and all interested persons were invited to attend the meeting and participate in Committee deliberations on all issues. Like all Committee meetings, the April 14, 2021, meeting was a public meeting, and all entities, both large and small, were able to express views on this issue. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the Order's information collection requirements have been previously approved by OMB and assigned OMB No. 0581-0189 Fruit Crops. No changes in those requirements are necessary as a result of this action. Should any changes become necessary, they would be submitted to OMB for approval. This rule imposes no additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements on either small or large Florida avocado handlers. As with all Federal marketing order programs, reports and forms are periodically reviewed to reduce information requirements and duplication by industry and public sector agencies. As noted in the initial regulatory flexibility analysis, USDA has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this rule. AMS is committed to complying with the E-Government Act, to promote the use of the internet and other information technologies to provide increased opportunities for citizen access to Government information and services, and for other purposes. A proposed rule concerning this action was published in the **Federal Register** on August 24, 2021 (86 FR 47248). Copies of the proposed rule were also mailed or sent via email to all Florida avocado handlers. The proposal was made available through the internet by USDA and the Office of the Federal Register. A 30-day comment period ending September 23, 2021, was provided for interested persons to respond to the proposal. During the comment period, one comment was received in response to the proposal. The comment received did not address the merits of this rule. Accordingly, no changes will be made to the rule as proposed, based on the comment received. A small business guide on complying with fruit, vegetable, and specialty crop marketing agreements and orders may be viewed at: *https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/moa/small-businesses.* Any questions about the compliance guide should be sent to Richard Lower at the previously mentioned address in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. After consideration of all relevant material presented, including the information and recommendation submitted by the Committee and other available information, it is hereby found that this rule will tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act.
