SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553,
proposes an amendment to regulations issued to carry out a marketing
order as defined in 7 CFR 900.2(j). This proposed rule is issued under
Marketing Agreement No. 97 and Order No. 948, as amended (7 CFR part
948), regulating the handling of Irish potatoes grown in Colorado. Part
948, (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 Committee locally
administers the Order and is comprised of producers and handlers
operating within the area of production.
The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing this proposed rule
in conformance with Executive Orders 13563 and 13175. This proposed
rule falls within a category of regulatory actions that the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) exempted from Executive Order 12866 review.
Additionally, because this proposal does not meet the definition of a
significant regulatory action, it does not trigger the requirements
contained in Executive Order 13771. See OMB's Memorandum titled
``Interim Guidance Implementing Section 2 of the Executive Order of
January 30, 2017, titled `Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs'[thinsp]'' (February 2, 2017).
This proposed rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988,
Civil Justice Reform. Under the Order, Colorado Area No. 2 potato
handlers are subject to assessments. Funds to administer the Order are
derived from such assessments. It is intended that the assessment rate
would be applicable to all assessable potatoes in Area No. 2 for the
2018-2019 fiscal period, and continue until 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.
The Order provides authority for each area Committee, with the
approval of USDA, to formulate an annual budget of expenses and collect
assessments from handlers to administer the program. The members are
familiar with the Committee's needs and with the costs of goods and
services in their local area and are thus in a position to formulate an
appropriate budget and assessment rate. The assessment rate is
formulated and discussed in a public meeting. Thus, all directly
affected persons have an opportunity to participate and provide input.
This proposal would increase the assessment rate for Area No. 2
from $0.0033 to $0.006 per hundredweight of potatoes handled for the
2018-2019 and subsequent fiscal periods. The Committee established the
current rate in 2013-2014 fiscal period to reduce the Committee's
monetary reserve to a level that it determined to be appropriate under
the Order. Since that action, the reserve fund has been drawn down to
approximately 15 percent of annual budgeted expenditures. The $0.006
per hundredweight assessment rate would realign annual assessment
revenue with expected administrative expenses moving forward and would
no longer require the utilization of the monetary

[[Page 24046]]

reserve to fund a portion of the Committee's budgeted expenditures.
The Committee met on March 15, 2018 to consider the Committee's
projected 2018-2019 financial requirements, the size of the Committee's
operating reserve, and the Order's continuing assessment rate. The
Committee unanimously recommended an assessment rate of $0.006 per
hundredweight of potatoes for the 2018-2019 fiscal period. The proposed
assessment rate of $0.006 is $0.0027 higher than the rate currently in
effect. Without the proposed increase, anticipated assessment revenue
would not be sufficient to fund the Committee's ongoing administrative
function, and the balance in the Committee's monetary reserve would not
be enough to cover the deficit. The assessment rate increase is
necessary to maintain the Committee's oversight activities at current
levels and avoid a reduction in the program's effectiveness.
For the 2017-2018 fiscal period, the Committee adopted a budget of
$79,623. The Committee expects to recommend a similar level of budgeted
expenditures for the 2018-2019 fiscal period at its meeting in May
2018. The Committee anticipates its budgeted expenditures for the 2018-
2019 fiscal period to be close to the budgeted amounts for the 2017-
2018 fiscal period. Budgeted expenditures for the 2017-2018 fiscal
period included $66,110 for administrative expenses, $6,138 for office
expenses, and $7,375 for facilities/utilities. The Committee's annual
budget has been relatively stable over the past five years, with
average growth of approximately 2.7 percent. The Committee's budget
five years ago for the 2013-2014 fiscal period was $71,227, compared to
the 2017-2018 fiscal period budget of $79,623.
The assessment rate recommended by the Committee was derived by
considering anticipated expenses, expected shipments, and the amount of
funds available in the authorized reserve. Expected income derived from
handler assessments of $84,000 (estimated 14,000,000 hundredweight
times $0.006 per hundredweight) would be adequate to cover budgeted
expenses of between $81,000 and $83,000 and put a small amount back
into the Committee's monetary reserve fund. Funds in the reserve
(currently expected to be $11,848 at the end of the 2017-2018 fiscal
period) would be kept within the maximum permitted by Sec.
[thinsp]948.78.
The assessment rate proposed in this rule would 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 would be in effect for an indefinite
period, the Committee would continue to meet prior to or during each
fiscal period 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 would 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 budget for subsequent
fiscal periods would be reviewed and, as appropriate, approved by USDA.

Initial 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 proposed rule on small
entities. Accordingly, AMS has prepared this initial 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 160 producers of Colorado Area No. 2
potatoes in the production area and approximately 60 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 $750,000, and small agricultural service firms are
defined as those whose annual receipts are less than $7,500,000 (13 CFR
121.201).
According to data from USDA's Market News, the 2016-2017 season
weighted average f.o.b. price for Colorado potatoes was approximately
$12.06 per hundredweight. The Committee reported that shipments for the
2016-2017 fiscal period were 13.9 million hundredweight. Using the
number of handlers, and assuming a normal distribution, the majority of
handlers would have average annual receipts of less than $7,500,000
($12.06 times 13.9 million equals $167,634,000 divided by 60 handlers
equals $2,793,900 per handler).
In addition, based on data from USDA's National Agricultural
Statistics Service, the season average producer price for Colorado
potatoes for the 2016-2017 crop year was approximately $9.60 per
hundredweight. Based on producer price, shipment data, and the total
number of Colorado Area No. 2 potato producers, and assuming a normal
distribution, the average annual producer revenue is above $750,000
($9.60 times 13.9 million hundredweight equals $133,440,000 divided by
160 producers equals $834,000 per producer). Thus, the majority of
Colorado Area No. 2 potato handlers may be classified as small
entities, while many of the Colorado Area No. 2 potato producers may be
classified as large entities.
This proposal would increase the assessment rate collected from
handlers for the 2018-2019 and subsequent fiscal periods from $0.0033
to $0.006 per hundredweight of Colorado Area No. 2 potatoes. The
Committee unanimously recommended the proposed increase. The proposed
assessment rate of $0.006 is $0.0027 higher than the 2017-2018 rate.
The quantity of assessable potatoes for the 2018-2019 fiscal period is
estimated at 14 million hundredweight. Thus, the $0.006 rate should
provide $84,000 in assessment income. Income derived from handler
assessments would be adequate to cover budgeted expenses.
The Committee adopted a budget of $79,623 for the 2017-2018 fiscal
period and expects to recommend a similar amount in budgeted
expenditures for the 2018-2019 fiscal period at its scheduled May 2018
meeting. The major budgeted expenditures for the 2017-2018 year
included $66,110 for administrative expenses, $6,138 for office
expenses, and $7,375 for facilities/utilities. Budgeted expenses for
these items in 2016-2017 were $65,894, $6,587, and $6,313,
respectively.
Prior to arriving at this proposed assessment rate, the Committee
considered the benefits and costs related to establishing other
assessment rates. However, the Committee determined that any assessment
rate other than the $0.006 per hundredweight rate would either generate
insufficient revenue to meet the Committee's expected expenses for the
2018-2019 fiscal period or would result in a larger than desired
addition to the Committee's reserve. Based on estimated shipments, the
recommended assessment rate of $0.006 should provide $84,000 in

[[Page 24047]]

assessment income. The Committee determined that this level of
assessment revenue would be adequate to cover budgeted expenses for the
2018-2019 fiscal period without unduly increasing reserve funds.
A review of historical information and preliminary information
pertaining to the upcoming fiscal year indicates that the average
producer price for the 2018-2019 season should be approximately $9.26
per hundredweight of potatoes. Therefore, the estimated assessment
revenue for the 2018-2019 fiscal period as a percentage of total
producer revenue would be about 0.06 percent.
This proposed action would increase the assessment obligation
imposed on handlers. While assessments impose some additional costs on
handlers, the costs are minimal and uniform on all handlers. Some of
the additional costs may be passed on to producers. However, these
costs would be offset by the benefits derived by the operation of the
Order. In addition, the Committee's meetings were widely publicized
throughout the Colorado potato industry. All interested persons were
invited to attend the meetings and participate in Committee
deliberations on all issues. Like all Committee meetings, the March 15,
2018 meeting was a public meeting and all entities, both large and
small, were able to express views on this issue. Finally, interested
persons are invited to submit comments on this proposed rule, including
the regulatory and information collection impacts of this action on
small businesses.
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 the OMB and assigned OMB No. 0581-0178, Generic
Vegetable and Specialty Crops. No changes in those requirements would
be necessary as a result of this action. Should any changes become
necessary, they would be submitted to OMB for approval.
This proposed rule would not impose any additional reporting or
recordkeeping requirements on either small or large Colorado potato
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.
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.
USDA has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate,
overlap, or conflict with this proposed rule.

specialty crop marketing agreements and orders may be viewed at: http://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/moa/small-businesses. Any questions
about the compliance guide should be sent to Richard Lower at the
