Title: Cotton Crop Classification Services (CN-07-003 B)
Abstract: The Smith-Doxey Amendment of 1937 to the Cotton Statistics Estimates Act of 1927 provided authority for the USDA to perform cotton classification and market news services to producers at no cost. The statutory authority for the delivery of classing services and collection of applicable fees will lapse on September 30, 2007. This rulemaking is necessary to re-establish the regulatory authority for the program's continued operation and incorporate the current fee structure for the 2007 crop year which was published in the Federal Register June 1, 2007 [72 FR 30457], under the authority of the Cotton Standards Act of 1923.
