Cotton Board Rules and Regulations: Adjusting Supplemental 
Assessment on Imports (2009 Amendments)

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the 
Cotton Board Rules and Regulations by increasing the value assigned to 
imported cotton for calculating supplemental assessments collected for 
use by the Cotton Research and Promotion Program. An amendment is 
required to adjust the assessments collected on imported cotton and the 
cotton content of imported products to be the same as those paid on 
domestically produced cotton. In addition, AMS is adding and changing 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) statistical reporting numbers that 
were amended since the last assessment adjustment.

DATES: Effective Date: August 7, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Order 12866

    The Office of Management and Budget has waived the review process 
required by Executive Order 12866 for this action.

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 (7 U.S.C. 2101-2118) 
(``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.

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 (Pub. L. 101-624) 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

[[Page 32401]]

cotton products; and (2) termination of the right of cotton producers 
to demand a refund of assessments.
    This rule increases the value assigned to imported cotton in the 
Cotton Board Rules and Regulations (7 CFR 1205.510(b)(2)). The total 
value is determined by 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. The second value is used to calculate 
the supplemental assessments on imported cotton and the cotton content 
of imported products. 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 supplement assessment is combined with the per bale equivalent to 
determine the total value and assessment of the imported cotton or 
cotton-containing products.
    The Cotton Research and Promotion Rules and Regulations provide for 
assigning the calendar year weighted average price received by U.S. 
farmers for Upland cotton to represent the value of imported cotton. 
This is so that the assessment on domestically produced cotton and the 
assessment on imported cotton and the cotton content of imported 
products is the same. The source for the average price statistic is 
Agricultural Prices, a publication of the National Agricultural 
Statistics Service (NASS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). 
Use of the weighted average price figure in the calculation of 
supplemental assessments on imported cotton and the cotton content of 
imported products will yield an assessment that is the same as 
assessments paid on domestically produced cotton.
    The current value of imported cotton as published in the Federal 
Register (73 FR 69521) for the purpose of calculating assessments on 
imported cotton is $0.009874 per kilogram, which is equivalent to 
0.9874 cents per kilogram. Using the Average Weighted Price received by 
U.S. farmers for Upland cotton for the calendar year 2008, the new 
value of imported cotton is $0.01088 per kilogram, which is equivalent 
to $1.0880 cents per kilogram, or $0.001006 per kilogram more than the 
previous value.
    An example of the complete assessment formula and how the 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 2008 calendar year weighted average price received by producers 
for Upland cotton is $0.587 per pound or $1.294 per kg. (0.587 x 
2.2046).
    Five tenths of one percent of the average price in kg. equals 
$0.006471 per kg. (1.294 x .005).

Total Assessment

    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 $0.006471 per kg. which equals $0.01088 per 
kg. and is equivalent to $1.0880 cents per kilogram.
    The current assessment on imported cotton is $0.009874 per kilogram 
of imported cotton. The new assessment is $0.01088, which is equivalent 
to $1.0880 cents per kilogram, an increase of $0.001006 per kilogram. 
This increase reflects the increase in the Average Weighted Price of 
Upland Cotton Received by U.S. Farmers during the period January 
through December 2008.
    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 in section 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 
HTS statistical reporting number subject to assessment.
    AMS also compared the current import assessment table with the U.S. 
International Trade Commission's (ITC) 2009 HTS and identified HTS 
statistical reporting numbers that have been changed or amended by ITC. 
The HTS statistical reporting number that currently appears in section 
1205.510(b)(3) is listed below on the left side of the table with the 
new HTS statistical reporting number on the right side of the table. 
The new numbers corresponds with the same ITC category, but with the 
amended number as it appears in ITC's HTS.

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

    In addition, AMS removed HTS statistical reporting numbers from 
section 1205.510(b)(3) that were no longer in the ITC official HTS on 
November 19, 2008 (73 FR 69521) and has worked with ITC to identify the 
new corresponding HTS statistical reporting numbers that ITC is using 
in the 2009 HTS. In many instances, the number is a replacement of a 
previous number and has no impact on the physical properties or cotton 
content of the product involved. In other instances, the HTS 
statistical reporting numbers were expanded and are now represented by 
two HTS statistical reporting numbers. Below on the left are the 
numbers removed on November 19, 2008 (73 FR 69521), and on the right 
are the new numbers that ITC currently is using and whose categories 
correspond to the previously removed HTS statistical reporting numbers 
from 1205.510(b)(3).

    A proposed rule was published on April 10, 2009, with a comment 
period of April 10, 2009, through May 11, 2009 (74 FR 16331). AMS 
received one comment from a trade association representing American 
manufacturers, brands, distributors, retailers, and importers of 
textile and apparel products, and related service providers.
    The comment stated that the fee increase is inappropriately timed 
and current economic conditions argue against increasing the cotton 
fee. AMS disagrees. Section 1205.335(b)(2) of the Order provides that 
the rate of the supplemental assessment on imported cotton shall be the 
same as that paid on cotton produced in the United States. Further, the 
regulations at section 1205.510(b)(2) issued under the Order provide 
for assigning the calendar year weighted average price received by U.S. 
farmers for Upland cotton to represent the value of imported cotton.
    The source for the average price statistic is Agricultural Prices, 
a publication of the National Agricultural Statistic Service (NASS) of 
the Department. Use of the weighted average price figure in the 
calculation of supplemental assessments on imported cotton and cotton 
content of imported products will yield an assessment that is the same 
as assessments paid on domestically produced cotton. The NASS numbers 
for Upland cotton for 2008 were used in this rulemaking, while the NASS 
numbers for 2007 were used in the final rule published in 2008 (73 FR 
69521). One favorable comment was received from a cotton producer 
association in the 2008 rulemaking.
    The comment received in this rulemaking also stated that AMS is not 
obligated to make an adjustment now and cited past years in which no 
adjustments were made. The years 2004 through 2007 were noted. However, 
AMS issued a proposed rule for the 2004 amendments to the supplemental 
assessment in January 2005 (70 FR 2034). The proposal not only included 
the 2004 adjustment to the supplemental assessment in accordance with 
the regulations but also proposed that the total rate of assessment per 
kilogram for imported cotton be calculated by adding together the $1 
per bale equivalent assessment and the supplemental assessment, and 
adjusting the sum to account for the estimated amount of U.S. cotton 
contained in imported textile products. The proposal was to address 
changes in the composition of U.S. cotton use and the anticipated 
ending of U.S. textile quotas. The proposal was made after an analysis 
of global cotton data and development of a comprehensive calculation to 
determine the percentage of U.S. cotton contained in total assessable 
cotton imports.
    The 2005 proposal generated one comment from the same trade 
association that commented in this action. In its 2005 comment, the 
commenter advised AMS to reconsider the then proposed formulation and 
do further work that would more accurately identify the amount of U.S. 
cotton contained in imported cotton products. As published in the 
November 20, 2006 Federal Register, AMS withdrew the proposed rule (71 
FR 67072). That document noted that AMS was withdrawing the 2005 
proposed rule to continue to evaluate the importer assessment issue and 
garner additional stakeholders' input and economic data. Adjustments to 
the supplemental assessment then resumed with the 2008 amendments based 
on NASS data for calendar year 2007.
    Finally, the commenter asserted that the proposed rule in this 
action would not have been put forward but for the change in the number 
of producer seats on the Cotton Board mandated by section 14202 of the 
Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-246), more 
commonly known as the 2008 Farm Bill. AMS disagrees. Section 14202 of 
the 2008 Farm Bill amends the Cotton Research and Promotion Act by 
designating the States of Kansas, Virginia and Florida as cotton-
producing States beginning with the 2008 crop. This amendment to the 
Act is the result of an act of Congress and changes the number of 
cotton-producing States only.

Regulatory Flexibility Act and Paperwork Reduction Act

    In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) [5 U.S.C. 
601-612], AMS examined the economic impact of this rule on small 
entities. The purpose of the RFA is to fit regulatory actions to the 
scale of businesses subject to such action so that small businesses 
will not be unduly or disproportionately burdened. The Small Business 
Administration defines, in 13 CFR part 121, small agricultural 
producers as those having annual receipts of no more than $750,000 and 
small agricultural service firms (importers) as having receipts of no 
more than $7,000,000. An estimated 13,000 importers are subject to the 
rules and regulations issued pursuant to the Cotton Research and 
Promotion Order. Most are considered small entities as defined by the 
Small Business Administration.
    This final rule would only affect importers of cotton and cotton-
containing products and would raise the assessments paid by the 
importers under the Cotton Research and Promotion Order. The current 
assessment on imported cotton is $0.009874 per kilogram, which is 
equivalent to $0.9874 cents per kilogram, of imported cotton. The new 
assessment is $0.01088, which is equivalent to $1.0880 cents per 
kilogram and was calculated based on the 12-month average of monthly 
weighted average prices received by U.S. cotton farmers. Section 
1205.510, ``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 average of monthly weighted 
average 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 2008, producer assessments totaled 
$29.2 million and importer assessments totaled $25.9 million. According 
to the Cotton Board, should the volume of cotton products imported into 
the U.S. remain at the same level in 2009, one could expect the 
increased assessment to generate approximately $10.8 million.
    Importers with line-items appearing on U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection documentation with value of the cotton contained therein 
results of an assessment of two dollars ($2.00) or less will not be 
subject to assessments. In addition, imported cotton and products may 
be exempt from assessment if the cotton content of products is U.S. 
produced, cotton other than Upland, or

imported products that are eligible to be labeled as 100 percent 
organic under the National Organic Program (7 CFR part 205) and who is 
not a split operation.
    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) the information collection 
requirements contained in the regulation to be amended have been 
previously approved by OMB and were assigned control number 0581-0093. 
This rule does not result in a change to the information collection and 
recordkeeping requirements previously approved.

    (2) The 12-month average of monthly weighted average prices 
received by U.S. farmers will be calculated annually. Such weighted 
average will be used as the value of imported cotton for the purpose of
