Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 170 / Tuesday, September 7, 2021 / Proposed Rules
negatively impact the marketing of fresh Washington potatoes because this action reduces costs to both handlers and producers. Therefore, in an action taken on June 11, 2020, the Committee unanimously recommended that USDA
terminate the Order.
Section 946.63b of the Order provides that USDA to terminate or suspend any or all provisions of the Order when a finding is made that the Order does not tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act. Furthermore, 608c16A of the Act provides that USDA shall terminate or suspend the operation of any order whenever the order or provision thereof obstructs or does not tend to effectuate the declared policy of the Act. An additional provision requires that Congress be notified not later than 60 days before the date on which order would be terminated.
The Committee considered alternatives to this rule, including taking no action which would keep the Order active but with the handling regulations suspended and suspending all of the Orders remaining regulatory provisions but not terminating the Order. The Committee determined that neither option was a viable long-term solution, and subsequently, recommended that the Order be terminated.
This proposed rule is intended to solicit input and other available information from interested parties on whether the Order should be terminated. USDA will evaluate all available information prior to making a final action on this matter.
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, the Orders information collection requirements have been previously approved by OMB and assigned OMB No. 05810178 Vegetable and Specialty Crops. Termination of the Order and reporting requirements prescribed therein, would reduce the reporting burden on Washington potato handlers by an estimated 9.7 hours per handler. Handlers would no longer be required to file forms with the Committee, which is expected to reduce industry expenses. This rule would not impose any additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements on either small or large 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. In addition, USDA has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate, overlap or conflict with this rule.

Like all Committee meetings, the January 22 and June 11, 2020, meetings were public meetings, and all entities, both large and small, were able to express their views on these issues. Interested persons are invited to submit comments on this proposed rule, including regulatory and information collection impacts of this proposed action on small businesses.

This rule invites comments on the proposed termination of Marketing Order 946, which regulates the handling of Irish potatoes grown in Washington.
A 60-day comment period is provided to allow interested persons to respond to this proposal. All written comments timely received will be considered before a final action is made on this matter.
Based on the foregoing and pursuant to 608c16A of the Act and 946.63
of the Order, USDA is considering termination of the Order. If USDA
decides to terminate the Order, trustees would be appointed to conclude and liquidate the Committee affairs and would continue in that capacity until discharged by USDA. In addition, USDA
would notify Congress 60 days in advance of termination pursuant to 608c16A of the Act.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
AGENCY:

The U.S. Department of Energy DOE or the Department is proposing to amend its current regulations on contractor workplace substance abuse programs at DOE sites to be consistent with the Secretary of Energys memorandum, dated September 14, 2007, entitled Decisions regarding drug testing for Department of Energy positions that require access authorizations Security Clearances, and because there is a continued need for these changes. The proposed amendments would decrease the random drug testing rate for individuals in certain testing designated positions, and clarify that all positions requiring access authorizations security clearances are included in the testing designated positions. In addition, the proposed amendments would clarify requirements for DOE approval prior to allowing persons in certain testing designated positions to return to work after removal for illegal drug use.
