{"abstract":"The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is revising the U.S. Standards for Grades of Grapefruit (Texas and States other than Florida, California, and Arizona) and the U.S. Standards for Grades of Oranges (Texas and States other than Florida, California, and Arizona). The revision will convert the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) tables from showing the acceptable number of allowable defective fruit in each grade to showing the percentage of defects permitted in each grade; revise the minimum sample size to 25 fruit; update size classifications; remove references to Temple oranges from the orange standards for grade; and more closely align terminology in both grade standards with Florida and California citrus standards.","action":"Final rule.","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/2020/10/29/2020-21437.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":"51","title":7}],"citation":"85 FR 68421","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective November 30, 2020.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Document Number AMS-SC-17-0076, SC-18-327"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2020-21437","effective_on":"2020-11-30","end_page":68429,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2020/10/29/2020-21437.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/10/29/2020-21437/us-standards-for-grades-of-grapefruit-texas-and-states-other-than-florida-california-and-arizona-and","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2020-21437?publication_date=2020-10-29","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2020-10-29/2020-21437/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":9,"page_views":{"count":647,"last_updated":"2026-06-24 04:15:03 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-10-29/pdf/2020-21437.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2020-21437.pdf?1603889119","publication_date":"2020-10-29","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2020/10/29/2020-21437.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"TX Oranges Standard For Grade DRAFT 3192020","document_id":"AMS-SC-17-0076-0004"},{"title":"TX Citrus Standards Comparsion 3192020","document_id":"AMS-SC-17-0076-0003"},{"title":"TX Grapefruit Standard For Grade DRAFT 3192020","document_id":"AMS-SC-17-0076-0002"}],"comments_count":0,"agency_id":"AMS","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=AMS-SC-17-0076","supporting_documents_count":3,"docket_id":"AMS-SC-17-0076","document_id":"AMS-SC-17-0076-0006","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"United States Standards for Grade of Grapefruit and Oranges (Texas and States other than Florida, California, and Arizona)","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2020-11-02T04:30:09Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":68421,"subtype":null,"title":"U.S. Standards for Grades of Grapefruit (Texas and States Other Than Florida, California, and Arizona) and U.S. Standards for Grades of Oranges (Texas and States Other Than Florida, California, and Arizona)","toc_doc":"Grapefruit (Texas and States Other Than Florida, California, and Arizona); Oranges (Texas and States Other Than Florida, California, and Arizona)","toc_subject":"Standards for Grades:\n","topics":["Food grades and standards","Fruits","Nuts","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Vegetables"],"type":"Rule","volume":85}
