TITLE 7 AGRICULTURE
Chapter VII Production and Mar keting Administration Agricultural Adjustment, Department of Agri culture P ar t 729 P e a n u t s REVISION OF APPORTIONMENT TO STATES OF
NATIONAL ACREAGE ALLOTMENT FOR 1953
CROP

Basis and purpose. The purpose of this regulation is to revise the appor tionment of the 1953 national peanut acreage allotment among the several peanut producing States which was made on November 18, 1952 17 P. R.
10537 . This revision is necessary be cause the reserve of 8,392 acres set aside for establishing 1953 peanut acreage al lotments for new farms was in excess of requirements for this purpose and the unused acreage, which is 2,809 acres, is now available for apportionment: The additional acreage is being apportioned to the States on exactly the same basis as the 1953 national acreage allotment was previously apportioned to the States.
Farmers in the southernmost areas of the United States have already begun the planting of their 1953 crop of pea nuts and farmers in the other peanut producing areas of the nation are com pleting their plans for the production of peanuts in 1953. In order that the State and county Production and M ar keting Administration committees may apportion the additional acreage pro vided herein at the earliest possible date, it is essential that this regulation be made effective as soon as possible. Ac cordingly, it is hereby déterminée and found that compliance with the notice, public procedure, and effective date requirements of the Administrative Pro cedure Act 5 U. S. C. 1003 is impracti cable and contrary to the public interest and the regulations contained herein shall be effective upon filing of this docu ment with the Director, Division of the Federal Register.
Section 729.403 of the regulations for wm 19.53 crop of peanuts 17 F. R. 10537
is amended to read as follows:
