7 CFR Part 457
RIN 0563-AB03
Common Crop Insurance Regulations; Fig Crop Insurance Provisions
AGENCY: Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation hereby adopts
regulations to add the fig regulations, the Fig Crop Insurance
Provisions, to the common crop insurance regulations. The intended
effect of this action is to provide quality adjustment provisions and
reflect the lower prices received for figs based on the grades
contained in the recently amended marketing order.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 1, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Diana Moslak, Regulatory and
Procedural Development Staff, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, USDA,
2101 L Street, Suite 500, Washington, D.C. 20036. Telephone (202) 254-
8314.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action has been reviewed under United
States Department of Agriculture (``USDA'') procedures established by
Executive Order 12866 and Departmental Regulation 1512-1. This action
constitutes a review as to the need, currency, clarity, and
effectiveness of these regulations under those procedures. The sunset
review date established for these regulations is March 1, 1999.
This rule has been determined to be ``not significant'' for the
purposes of Executive Order 12866 and therefore, has not been reviewed
by the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'').
This rule does not impose burdensome information collection
provisions that would require clearance by the Office of Management and
Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).
It has been determined under section 6(a) of Executive Order 12612,
Federalism, that this final rule does not have sufficient federalism
implication to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment. The
policies and procedures contained in this rule will not have a
substantial direct effect on states or their political subdivisions, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
This regulation will not have a significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities. This action requires no more of the reinsured
company or the producer than was necessary to deliver previous
policies. Therefore, this action is determined to be exempt from the
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605) and no
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis was prepared.
This program is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance under No. 10.450.
This program is not subject to Executive Order 12372 which requires
intergovernmental consultation with State and local officials. See the
Notice related to 7 CFR part 3015, subpart V, published at 48 FR 29115,
June 24, 1983.
The Office of the General Counsel has determined that these
regulations meet the applicable standards provided in subsections 2(a)
and 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778. The provisions of this rule will
preempt any state or local laws to the extent such state and local laws
are inconsistent herewith. The administrative appeal provisions located
at 7 CFR part 400, subpart J or promulgated by the National Appeals
Division, whichever is applicable, must be exhausted before judicial
action may be brought.
This action is not expected to have any significant impact on the
quality of the environment, health, and safety. Therefore, neither an
Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is
needed.
On Tuesday, March 1, 1994, FCIC published an interim rule in the
Federal Register at 59 FR 9614 to revise the Common Crop Insurance
Regulations by adding provisions for fig crop insurance. Following
publication of the interim rule, the public was afforded 60 days to
submit written comments, data, and opinions but none were received.
Therefore, the interim rule as published on March 1, 1994, is hereby
adopted as a final rule.
