lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 153 / Thursday, August 12, 2021 / Rules and Regulations subcommittee. Subcommittees then report their conclusions and recommendations to the Committee.
Given all the information available to the Committee and its own deliberations, the Committee made a recommendation to USDA on the assessment rate and the proposed budget.
This rule increases the assessment obligation imposed on handlers.
Assessments are applied uniformly on all handlers, and some portion of assessments may be passed on to producers. However, these costs are expected to be offset by benefits derived by the operation of the Order.
Various subcommittees meetings and the Committees meeting were widely publicized throughout the California olive industry. All interested persons were invited to attend meetings and encouraged to participate in deliberations. Like all meetings, subcommittee meetings held on November 5, 2020 and the full Committee meeting held on December 8, 2020, were public meetings and all entities, both large and small scale, were able to express views on this issue.
Finally, interested persons were invited to submit comments on this rule, including 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 Orders information collection requirements have been previously approved by the OMB and assigned OMB No. 05810178, Vegetable and Specialty Crops. No changes in those requirements are necessary as a result of this rule. Should any changes become necessary, they would be submitted to OMB for approval.
This rule will not impose any additional reporting or recordkeeping requirements on either smallor largescale California olive 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.
USDA has not identified any relevant Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this final rule.
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.
A proposed rule concerning this action was published in the Federal Register on April 8, 2021 86 FR 18216.

A 45-day comment period ending May 24, 2021, was provided to allow interested persons to respond to the proposal. No comments were received. Accordingly, no changes were made to the rule proposed.
