7 CFR Part 1205

[AMS-CN-17-0041]


Cotton Research and Promotion Program: Procedures for Conduct of 
Sign-Up Period

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is making corrections 
to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by revising the authority 
citation for its regulation, Cotton Research and Promotion. In a final 
rule published in the Federal Register on June 24, 2015, changes were 
inadvertently made to remove a legal citation from the authority 
citation and to erroneously include an unnecessary authority citation 
after a section in AMS regulations. This document corrects those 
errors.

DATES: Effective August 16, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shethir M. Riva, Director, Research 
and Promotion Staff, Cotton and Tobacco Program, Agricultural Marketing 
Service, USDA, 100 Riverside Parkway, Suite 101, Fredericksburg, 
Virginia 22406, telephone (540) 361-2726, facsimile (540) 361-1199, or 
email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document provides correcting amendments 
to the Cotton Research and Promotion Order (Order), found at 7 CFR part 
1205, so that complete and appropriate authority is stated in the 
Order. In a final rule published in the Federal Register on June 24, 
2015 (80 FR 36231), the rules and regulations regarding the procedures 
for the conduct of a sign-up period for eligible cotton producers and 
importers to request a continuance referendum on the 1991 amendments to 
the Order were revised. In that final rule, changes were inadvertently 
made to remove ``7 U.S.C. 7401'' from the authority citation. In 
addition, AMS discovered that an irrelevant authority citation 
``Authority: 7 U.S.C. 2101-2118'' occurs after Sec.  1205.29(c) in the 
CFR. This document corrects those errors by reinserting ``7 U.S.C. 
7401'' into the authority citation that was removed from Title 7 of the 
CFR, part 1205, and by removing the unnecessary authority citation 
placed after Sec.  1205.29(c) of the Order.
