SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On September 29, 2020, AMS published a notice seeking comment on a proposal to amend the Bean Inspection Handbook. The proposal would revise the “sample grade criteria,” as it pertains to the class “Blackeye beans.” The proposed revision would remove clean-cut weevil-bored beans as a sample grade factor and change the sample grade tolerances for insect webbing or filth to a percent of 0.10 or more. The original 30-day comment period provided in the proposed rule closed on October 29, 2020. A stakeholder submitted a comment requesting an extension of the comment period. The Agricultural Marketing Service is reopening the public comment period for an additional 30 days to ensure that interested persons have sufficient time to review and comment on the notice for comment. The comment period is reopened for 30 days from the date of publication of this notice.
