SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A notice was published in the Federal 
Register on March 29, 2007, (72 FR 14709), requesting comments on the 
possible revision of the United States Standards for Grades of Florida 
Avocados. The proposed revision would modify the title of the standard 
by deleting ``Florida,'' to make the standards generic to cover all 
avocados. The comment period ended May 29, 2007.
    A comment was received on behalf of a foreign government expressing 
the need for additional time to comment. They requested an extension to 
the comment period to allow further review of the proposed revisions 
and their potential impact.
    After reviewing the request, AMS is reopening and extending the 
comment period in order to allow sufficient time for interested 
persons, including growers, packers, and trade groups to file comments.

    Authority: 7 U.S.C. 1621-1627.

    Dated: July 9, 2007.

Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service.
