7 CFR Part 1464

 
Tobacco Marketing Quotas, Acreage Allotments and Production 
Adjustment

AGENCY: Farm Service Agency, USDA.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces that a direct final rule entitled 
Tobacco Marketing Quotas, Acreage Allotments and Production Adjustment 
(Burley Warehouse Designations) published by the Farm Service Agency 
will take effect without change.

DATES: The direct final rule was effective on February 4, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ann Wortham at (202) 720-2715, or via 
electronic mail at <A HREF="mailto:ann_wortham@wdc.usda.gov">ann_wortham@wdc.usda.gov</A>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Farm Service Agency (FSA) published a 
direct final rule entitled Tobacco Marketing Quotas, Acreage Allotments 
and Production Adjustment on January 4, 2002 (67 FR 481) to amend the 
regulations at 7 CFR 1464 governing the marketing of tobacco. The rule 
stipulated that its provisions would be effective February 4, 2002, 
unless adverse comments were received. The Agency received no adverse 
comments. Accordingly, this notice announces that its provisions have 
taken effect without change.
    To expedite the necessary changes in the event of adverse comments 
being received on the direct final rule, a proposed rule also entitled 
Tobacco Marketing Quotas, Acreage Allotments and Production Adjustment, 
proposing the same changes as in the direct final rule was also 
published on January 4, 2002 (67 FR 526). If adverse comments had been 
received on either the direct final or proposed rule, the proposed rule 
would have been the operative document and the Agency would have 
addressed the comments and ultimately published a final rule. The 
Agency received no adverse comments. Consequently, since the direct 
final rule will take effect, FSA will take no further action on the 
proposed rule.
    All comments received will be maintained as public records. 
Requests to view comments received on either the direct final or the 
proposed rule may be made by contacting FSA at the number provided 
above.

    Signed at Washington, D.C. on March 20, 2002.
James R. Little,
Executive Vice President, Commodity Credit Corporation.
