1996 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 raising 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 that paid on domestically produced
cotton. The amended value reflects the 12-month average price received
by U.S. farmers for Upland cotton for calendar year 1995.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 22, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Shackelford, (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 12778
This rule has been reviewed under Executive Order 12778, 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 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 the
ruling.
Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to requirements set forth in the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) the Agricultural Marketing Service
(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 10,000 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 (13 CFR Sec. 121.601). This rule will raise the
assessments paid by the importers under the Cotton Research and
Promotion Order. Even though the assessment will be raised, the
increase is small and will not significantly affect small businesses.
The current assessment on imported cotton is $0.011938 per kilogram
of imported cotton. The amended assessment is $0.012874, an increase of
$0.000936 per kilogram or approximately seven percent. From January
through December of 1995 approximately $15,208,000 in assessments were
collected at the $0.011938 per kilogram of cotton rate. Should cotton
products be imported at the same level in 1996, one could expect the
increase in the assessment on imported cotton to generate $16,272,560
or a seven percent increase over 1995. Historical data on importation
of cotton products suggest that some increase in the amount of cotton
products imported into the U.S. may be expected in 1996; however, this
amount is undetermined.
In 1995 the largest 50 importers subject to assessments under this
section paid a total of approximately $4,589,000 in assessments. During
the same period the smallest 50 importers paid approximately $204 in
assessments. The largest 50 importers paid an average of $91,779 in
assessments during 1995 within a range from $374,004 to $38,728. The
smallest 50 importers paid average total assessments for 1995 of $3.84
within a range from $10.20 to $2.10. While larger businesses paid
substantially larger total assessments than smaller businesses, the
rate of assessment per kilogram of imported cotton was the same for
both larger and smaller sized businesses. In addition both larger and
smaller importers are able to take advantage of the U.S. Customs
Service Automated Collection System to pay assessments. In this way
administrative burdens are not disproportionate for smaller businesses
compared to larger businesses.
Paperwork Reduction
In compliance with Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
regulations (5 CFR Part 1320) which implement the Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) of 1980 (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
[[Page 31818]]
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.
Proposed rules implementing the amended Order were published in the
Federal Register on December 17, 1991, (56 FR 65450). The final
implementing rules were published on July 1 and 2, 1992, (57 FR 29181)
and (57 FR 29431), respectively.
A proposed rule seeking comments regarding the adjustments of the
value of imported cotton was published in the Federal Register on March
22, 1996 (61 FR 11764-11776). No comments were received during the
comment period (March 22, 1996-April 22, 1996).
This final rule will increase 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 adopted the use
of the calendar year average price received by U.S. farmers for Upland
cotton as a benchmark for the value of domestically produced cotton.
The source for this statistic is ``Agricultural Prices'', a publication
of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the
Department of Agriculture. Use of the 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.
The current value of imported cotton as published in the Federal
Register (60 FR 36033) on July 13, 1995 for the purpose of calculating
supplemental assessments on imported cotton is $1.5057 per kilogram.
This number was calculated using the annual average price received by
farmers for Upland cotton during the calendar year 1994 which was
$0.683 per pound. Using the Average Price Received by U.S. farmers for
Upland cotton for the calendar year 1995, which is $0.768 per pound,
the new value of imported cotton will be $1.6931 per kilogram. The
amended value is $0.1874 per kilogram greater than the previous value.
An example of the 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 Sec. 0.002000 per pound (1500) or $0.004409 per kg.
(1226.8)
Supplemental assessment of \5/10\ of one percent of the value of
the cotton converted to kilograms. Average price received $0.768 per
pound or $1.6931 per kg. (0.768 x 2.2046) = 1.6931.
\5/10\ of one percent of the average price in kg. equals
$0.008465 per kg. (1.6931 x .005)
The total assessment per kilogram of raw cotton is obtained by
adding the $1 per bale equivalent assessment of $0.004409 per kg.
and the supplemental assessment Sec. 0.008465 per kg. which equals
$0.012874 per kg.
The current assessment on imported cotton is $0.011938 per kilogram
of imported cotton. The amended assessment is $0.012874, an increase of
$0.000936 per kilogram. This increase reflects the increase in the
Average Price of Upland Cotton Received by U.S. Farmers during the
period January through December 1995.
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, these figures have been revised. These figures indicate
the total assessment per kilogram due for each Harmonized Tariff
Schedule (HTS) number subject to assessment.
As a result of changes in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, numbering
revisions to the Import Assessment Table used in the Cotton Research
and Promotion program were necessary. These changes are as follows:
Numbers Deleted

5205450000
6203492010

6115932020. 6115936020 Use same conversion factor.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two other changes have been made to lessen the administrative
burden for importers. The first simplifies the process to determine if
the minimum value of cotton has been imported to warrant payment of the
assessment. The second lengthens the amount of time that an exemption
certificate remains valid.
The Cotton Research and Promotion Act Amendments of 1990 provided
for the establishment of a de minimis (a minimum)volume or value of
imported cotton under which no assessment would be paid. Section
1205.510(b)(3)(I) provides that any cotton imported in which the value
of the cotton is less than $220.99 shall not be subject to the
assessment. When the de minimis value was first implemented in 1992,
the 220.99 equaled $2.00 in cotton assessment. The U.S. Customs Service
does not collect assessments of $2.00 or less. Each subsequent year,
with the adjustment of the assessment on imported cotton, the amount of
assessment due on cotton has increased or decreased in relation to the
change in the minimum import assessment fee of $2.00.
The agency amends the de minimis value of cotton to a fluctuating
value that will always yield an assessment of $2.00. Section
1205.510(b)(6)(I) provides for an importer to claim an exemption from
the assessment under specific conditions. The exemption is valid for
120 days. This amendment will lengthen that period so that exemption
certificates issued by the Cotton Board will be valid for 1 year from
the date of issue.
List of Subjects in 7 CFR Part 1205
Advertising, Agricultural research, Cotton, Marketing agreements,
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
For the reasons set forth in the preamble, 7 CFR Part 1205 is
amended as follows:
PART 1205--COTTON RESEARCH AND PROMOTION
1. The authority citation for Part 1205 continues to read as
follows:
Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2101-2118.
2. In Sec. 1205.510 paragraphs (b) (2) and (3) are revised to read
as follows:
[[Page 31819]]
Sec. 1205.510 Levy of assessments.
* * * * *
(b) * * *
(2) The 12-month average of monthly average prices received by U.S.
farmers will be calculated annually. Such average will be used as the
value of imported cotton for the purpose of levying the supplemental
assessment on imported cotton and will be expressed in kilograms. The
value of imported cotton for the purpose of levying this supplemental
assessment is $1.6931 per kilogram.
(3) The following table contains Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS)
classification numbers and corresponding conversion factors and
assessments. The left column of the following table indicates the HTS
classifications of imported cotton and cotton-containing products
subject to assessment. The center column indicates the conversion
factor for determining the raw fiber content for each kilogram of the
HTS. HTS numbers for raw cotton have no conversion factor in the table.
The right column indicates the total assessment per kilogram of the
article assessed.
(i) Any line item entry of cotton appearing on Customs entry
documentation in which the value of the cotton contained therein
results in the calculation of an assessment of two dollars ($2.00) or
less will not be subject to assessments as described in this section.
(ii) In the event that any HTS number subject to assessment is
changed and such change is merely a replacement of a previous number
and has no impact on the physical properties, description, or cotton
content of the product involved, assessments will continue to be
collected based on the new number.
