P a r t 722C o t t o n MARKETING QUOTA REGULATIONS RELATING
TO APPORTIONMENT OF NATIONAL ACREAGE
ALLOTMENT FOR 1 9 5 4 CROP OF EXTRA LONG
STAPLE COTTON TO STATES, COUNTIES AND
FARMS

Basis and purpose. The amendment set forth herein makes two changes in the provision relating to the release and reapportionment of farm acreage allot ments. It is provided that acreage re leased by the owner or operator of a new cotton farm will not be regarded as planted on such farm unless a part of such allotment is retained and extra long staple cotton is planted on the farm in 1954. Under the other change the county committee is authorized to refuse to ac cept the release of farm acreage allot ment under specified conditions.
Farmers in Puerto Rico have begun planting their 1954 extra long staple cot ton crops and farmers in the continental United States are making plans, prepar ing land and purchasing seed, fertilizer, and other supplies and equipment for the planting and production of extra long staple cotton this year. In order that the additional provisions included in this amendment may be carried out promptly by the State and county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Commit tees, it is essential that the amendment set forth herein be made effective as soon as possible. Accordingly, it is hereby determined and found that compliance with the notice, public procedure, and effective date requirements of section 4 of the Administrative Procedure Act 5
U. S. C. 1003 is impracticable and con trary to the public interest, and the amendment contained herein shall be effective upon filing of this document with the Director, Division of the Federal Register.
Section 722.1117 j of the Marketing Quota Regulations Relating to Appor tionment of the National Acreage Allot ment for the 1954 Crop of Extra Long staple Cotton 18 F. R. 7883, 18 F. R.
8109,19 F.-R. 1137 is amended to read as follows:

j Release and reapportionment of farm acreage allotments for extra long staple cotton. Any part of any 1954
farm acreage allotment for extra long staple cotton on which such cotton will not be planted in 1954 and which is voluntarily released to the county com mittee by the applicable closing date shall be deducted from the farm acreage allotment for extra long staple cotton and may be reapportioned by the county committee not later than the applicable closing date to other farms receiving farm acreage allotments for extra long staple cotton in the same county in amounts determined by the county com mittee to be fair and reasonable on the basis of past acreages of extra long staple cotton, land, labor and equipment available for the production of extra long staple cotton, crop-rotation prac tices and soil and other physical facili ties affecting the production of extra long staple cotton. The State committee shall establish closing dates for pur poses of the foregoing provisions for the entire State or for areas in the State if there is a substantial difference in plant ing dates for different areas in the State.
The closing date so established for re leasing farm acreage allotments shall be the date on which the planting of extra long staple cotton normally be comes general on farms in the State or area, and the closing date so established for reapportionment of such released acreage to other farms in the same county shall be the latest date on which extra long staple cotton can normally be planted on farms in the State or area with reasonable expectations of produc ing an average crop. If all of the al lotted acreage voluntarily released is not needed in the county, the county com mittee may surrender the excess acreage to the State committee for reapportion ment to counties as provided in 722.1116 g. Any farm acreage allotment released for 1954 only shall, in deter mining future acreage allotments for extra long staple cotton, be regarded as having been planted on the farm re leasing such allotment if extra long staple cotton was planted on such farm in at least one of the years in the 3-year farm base period, except that acreage released by the owner or operator of a new cotton farm will not be regarded as planted on such farm unless a part Continued on next page
