Background
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following information collection requirements to OMB for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 10413. Comments are requested regarding whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the agencys estimate of burden including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by April 8, 2021 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the following website www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular information collection by selecting Currently under 30-day ReviewOpen for Public Comments or by using the search function.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless the collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number and the agency informs potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information that such persons are not required to respond to the collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
AMS periodically reviews the grade standards for usefulness in serving the industry. More recently developed grade standards use a single term, such as U.S. Grade A or U.S. Grade B, to describe each level of quality within a grade standard. Older grade standards used dual nomenclature, such as U.S.
Grade A or U.S. Fancy and U.S. Grade B or U.S. Extra Standard to describe the same level of quality. The terms U.S. Fancy, and U.S. Extra Standard have been removed and the terms U.S. Grade A, U.S. Grade B, and Substandard Sstd are used exclusively.
AMS also made editorial changes to these grade standards, updating section headings omitted in previous revisions, and adding language and allowances for mixed color varieties to align the standards with use of mixed color varieties by industry. The addition of language and allowances differentiating between conventional sweet and supersweet types incorporates language from USDA internal guidance documents A412, September 1967
Frozen Whole Kernel Whole-Grain Corn Evaluation of Tenderness and Maturity, and A493, October 1997, Interpretative Guide for Frozen Supersweet Whole Kernel Corn to Determine: Tenderness and Maturity; and Flavor. These internal USDA documents were created with the intention of incorporating them into the standards.
On October 21, 2020, AMS published a notice inviting comments on proposed revisions to the U.S. Standards for Grades of Frozen Corn on the Cob in the Federal Register 85 FR 66926. No comments were received. This revision to these grade standards provides common language for trade and better reflects the current marketing of frozen corn on the cob.
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 16211627.
