average of price received by U.S. cotton farmers. Section 1205.510 of the Order, Levy of assessments, provides The rate of the supplemental assessment on imported cotton will be the same as that levied on cotton produced within the United States. In addition, section 1205.510 provides that the 12-month weighted average of prices received by U.S. farmers will be used as the value of imported cotton for the purpose of levying the supplemental assessment on imported cotton.
Under the Cotton Research and Promotion Program, assessments are used by the Cotton Board to finance research and promotion programs designed to increase consumer demand for Upland cotton in the United States and international markets. In 2020, producer assessments totaled $42.3
million and importer assessments totaled $36.1 million. According to the Cotton Board, should the volume of cotton products imported into the U.S.
remain at the same level in 2021, one could expect a decrease of assessments by approximately $1,329,275.
Imported organic cotton and products may be exempt from assessment if eligible under section 1205.519 of the Order.
There are no Federal rules that duplicate, overlap, or conflict with this rule.
In compliance with Office of Management and Budget OMB
regulations 5 CFR part 1320, which implement the Paperwork Reduction Act PRA 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, information collection requirements contained in the regulation to be amended have been previously approved by OMB and were assigned control number 05810093, National Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Programs. This rule does not result in a change to the information collection and recordkeeping requirements previously approved.
A 30-day comment period is provided to comment on changes to the Cotton Board Rules and Regulations provided herein. This period is deemed appropriate because an amendment is required to adjust assessments collected on imported cotton and the cotton content of imported products to be the same as those paid on domestically produced cotton.
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1205
Advertising, Agricultural research, Cotton, Marketing agreements, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
For reasons set forth in the preamble, AMS amends 7 CFR part 1205 as follows:
