Effective Date: March 5, 2012. 7 CFR Part 27 The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the procedures for cotton futures quality classification services by using Smith-Doxey classification data in the cotton futures classification process. In addition, references to a separate and optional review of cotton futures certification are being eliminated to reflect current industry practices. These changes in procedures for cotton futures quality classification services, as well as proposed conforming changes, reflect advances in cotton fiber quality measurement and data processing made since the regulations were last updated in 1992.

GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2013-02811 RIN 0581-AD26 Doc. # AMS-CN-12-0024 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Agricultural Marketing Service Proposed rule. Comments must be received on or before March 11, 2013. 7 CFR Part 27 The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is proposing to amend the regulation that specifies which states compose bona fide cotton spot markets in order to assure consistency with the revised Cotton Research and Promotion Act. Updated bona fide spot market definitions will allow for published spot quotes to consider spot prices of cotton marketed in Kansas and Virginia. AMS is also proposing to amend references to the “New York Cotton Exchange” to read the “Intercontinental Exchange.”
GPO FDSys XML | Text type regulations.gov FR Doc. 2012-8125 RIN 0581-AD19 Doc. # AMS-CN-11-0066 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, Agricultural Marketing Service Final rule. Effective Date: April 6, 2012. 7 CFR Parts 27 and 28 The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the procedures for determining the official leaf grade for Upland and Pima cotton. The leaf grade is a part of the official classification which denotes cotton fiber quality used in cotton marketing and manufacturing of cotton products. Previously, the leaf grade was determined by visual examination and comparison to the Universal Cotton Standards for Leaf Grade that serves as the official cotton standards by qualified cotton classers. Amended procedures replace the classer's leaf determination with the instrument leaf measurement made by the High Volume Instrument (HVI) system, which has been used in official cotton classification for Upland Cotton since 1991.
