{"abstract":"This rule changes the reporting requirements for commodities exempt from import regulations under section 608(e) (hereinafter referred to as \"8e\") of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 by adding an option to electronically file an \"Importer's Exempt Commodity Form\" (FV-6 form). These changes are needed to bring the import regulations into conformance with the current practice of filing FV-6 forms electronically using the Marketing Order Online System (MOLS), an internet-based application that was implemented in 2008. This rule also changes the import regulations for dates and raisins by moving the FV-6 form-filing procedures for these two commodities to the safeguard procedure regulations for specialty crops and by making other administrative updates. These changes to the import regulations are also required to support the International Trade Data System (ITDS), a key White House economic initiative that will automate the filing of import and export information by the trade. All government agencies that are participating in the ITDS initiative, including AMS, are required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (hereinafter referred to as \"CBP\") to make updates to import and export regulations to provide for the electronic entry of shipment data.","action":"Interim rule with request for comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE","name":"Agriculture Department","id":12,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agriculture-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/12","parent_id":null,"slug":"agriculture-department"},{"raw_name":"Agricultural Marketing Service","name":"Agricultural Marketing Service","id":9,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/agricultural-marketing-service","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/9","parent_id":12,"slug":"agricultural-marketing-service"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2015/03/25/2015-06490.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":944,"title":7},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":980,"title":7},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":999,"title":7}],"citation":"80 FR 15673","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2015-05-26","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective March 30, 2015; comments received by May 26, 2015 will be considered prior to issuance of a final rule.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Doc.
