1999 Amendment to Cotton Board Rules and Regulations Adjusting

Supplemental Assessment on Imports

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the

Cotton Board Rules and Regulations by lowering the value assigned to

imported cotton for the purpose of calculating supplemental assessments

collected for use by the Cotton Research and Promotion Program. This

action is required by this regulation on an annual basis to ensure that

the assessments collected on imported cotton and the cotton content of

imported products remain similar to those paid on domestically produced

cotton.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 7, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Whitney Rick, (202) 720-2259.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Executive Order 12866

This rule has been determined to be ``not significant'' for

purposes of Executive Order 12866, and, therefore, has not been

reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.

Executive Order 12988

This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12988, Civil

Justice Reform. It is not intended to have retroactive effect. This

rule would not preempt any state or local laws, regulations, or

policies, unless they present an irreconcilable conflict with this

rule.

The Cotton Research and Promotion Act provides that administrative

proceedings must be exhausted before parties may file suit in court.

Under Section 12 of the Act, any person subject to an order may file

with the Secretary a petition stating that the order, any provision of

the plan, or any obligation imposed in connection with the order is not

in accordance with law and requesting a modification of the order or to

be exempted therefrom. Such person is afforded the opportunity for a

hearing on the petition. After the hearing, the Secretary would rule on

the petition. The Act provides that the District Court of the United

States in any district in which the person is an inhabitant, or has his

principal place of business, has jurisdiction to review the Secretary's

ruling, provided a complaint is filed within 20 days from the date of

the entry of ruling.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

Pursuant to requirements set forth in the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) AMS has considered the economic impact

of this action on small entities and has determined that its

implementation will not have a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small businesses.

There are an estimated 16,000 importers who are presently subject

to rules and regulations issued pursuant to the Cotton Research and

Promotion Order. This rule will affect importers of cotton and cotton-

containing products. The majority of these importers are small

businesses under the criteria established by the Small Business

Administration. This rule will lower the assessments paid by the

importers under the Cotton Research and Promotion Order. Even though

the assessment will be lowered, the decrease is small and will not

significantly affect small businesses.

The current assessment on imported cotton is $0.011850 per kilogram

of imported cotton. The amended assessment is $0.011397, a decrease of

$0.000453 or a 3.8 percent decrease from the current assessment. From

January through December 1998 approximately $20.9 million was collected

at the $0.011850 per kilogram rate. Should the volume of cotton

[[Page 30237]]

products imported into the U.S. remain at the same level in 1999, one

could expect the decreased assessment to generate $20.1 million or a

3.8 percent decrease from 1998.

Paperwork Reduction

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. 3501 et seq.) the information collection

requirements contained in the regulation to be amended have been

previously approved by OMB and were assigned control number 0581-0093.

Background

The Cotton Research and Promotion Act Amendments of 1990 enacted by

Congress under Subtitle G of Title XIX of the Food, Agriculture,

Conservation and Trade Act of 1990 on November 28, 1990, contained two

provisions that authorized changes in the funding procedures for the

Cotton Research and Promotion Program.

These provisions are: (1) The assessment of imported cotton and

cotton products; and (2) termination of the right of cotton producers

to demand a refund of assessments.

An amended Cotton Research and Promotion Order was approved by

producers and importers voting in a referendum held July 17-26, 1991

and the amended Order was published in the Federal Register on December

10, 1991, (56 FR 64470). Proposed rules implementing the amended Order

were published in the Federal Register on December 17, 1991, (56 FR

65450). Implementing rules were published on July 1 and 2, 1992, (57 FR

29181) and (57 FR 29431), respectively.

This rule will decrease the value assigned to imported cotton in

the Cotton Board Rules and Regulations (7 CFR 1205.510 (b) (2)). This

value is used to calculate supplemental assessments on imported cotton

and the cotton content of imported products. Supplemental assessments

are the second part of a two-part assessment. The first part of the

assessment is levied on the weight of cotton produced or imported at a

rate of $1 per bale of cotton which is equivalent to 500 pounds or $1

per 226.8 kilograms of cotton.

Supplemental assessments are levied at a rate of five-tenths of one

percent of the value of domestically produced cotton, imported cotton,

and the cotton content of imported products. The agency has adopted the

practice of assigning the calendar year weighted average price received

by U.S. farmers for Upland cotton to represent the value of imported

cotton. This is done so that the assessment on domestically produced

cotton and the assessment on imported cotton and the cotton content of

imported products remain similar. The source for the average price

statistic is ``Agricultural Prices'', a publication of the National

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the Department of

Agriculture. Use of the weighted average price figure in the

calculation of supplemental assessments on imported cotton and the

cotton content of imported products yields an assessment that

approximates assessments paid on domestically produced cotton in the

prior calendar year.

The current value of imported cotton as published in the Federal

Register (63 FR 27818) on May 21, 1998, for the purpose of calculating

supplemental assessments on imported cotton is $1.4881 per kilogram.

This number was calculated using the annual weighted average price

received by farmers for Upland cotton during the calendar year 1997

which was $0.675 per pound and multiplying by the conversation factor

2.2046. Using the Average Weighted Price Received by U.S. farmers for

Upland cotton for the calendar year 1998, which is $0.634 per pound,

the new value of imported cotton is $1.3977 per kilogram. The amended

value is $0.0904 per kilogram less than the previous value.

An example of the complete assessment formula and how the various

figures are obtained is as follows:

One bale is equal to 500 pounds.

One kilogram equals 2.2046 pounds.

One pound equals 0.453597 kilograms.

One Dollar Per Bale Assessment Converted to Kilograms

A 500 pound bale equals 226.8 kg. (500 x .453597).

$1 per bale assessment equals $0.002000 per pound (1 500)

or $0.004409 per kg. (1 226.8).

Supplemental Assessment of 5/10 of One Percent of the Value of the

Cotton Converted to Kilograms.

The 1998 calendar year weigthed average price received by producers

for Upland cotton is $0.634 per pound or $1.3977 per kg. (0.634 x

2.2046) = 1.3977.

Five tenths of one percent of the average price in kg. equals

$0.006988 per kg. (1.3977 x .005).

Total Assessment

The total assessment per kilogram of raw cotton in obtained by

adding the $1 per bale equivalent assessment of $0.004409 per kg. and

the supplemental assessment $0.006988 per kg. which equals $0.011397

per kg.

The current assessment on imported cotton is $0.011850 per kilogram

of imported cotton. The amended assessment is $0.011397, a decrease of

$0.000453 per kilogram. This decrease reflects the decrease in the

Average Weighted Price of Upland Cotton Received by U.S. Farmers during

the period January through December 1998.

Since the value of cotton is the basis of the supplemental

assessment calculation and the figures shown in the right hand column

of the Import Assessment Table 1205.510 (b)(3) are a result of such a

calculation, the figures in this table have been revised. These figures

indicate the total assessment per kilogram due for each Harmonized

Tariff Schedule (HTS) number subject to assessment.

One HTS number subject to assessment pursuant to this regulation

and found in the assessment table has been changed. In order to

maintain consistency between the HTS and the assessment table, the

changes to this one number have been incorporated into the assessment

table. The last two digits of this number were changed to provide for

statistical reporting purposes and involve no physical change to the

products they represent. Therefore, the assessment rate is not affected

by the change. The assessment rate for the one number has been applied

to each of the new replacement numbers in the assessment table. The

following table represents the changes:
