This Justification for Change seeks OMB’s approval on updates to a form used in the specialty crop industry.

This Justification for Change seeks OMB’s approval on corrections to one form that is part of OMB No. 0581-0344, walnuts grown in California, Marketing Order No. 984 (7 CFR part 984). The California Walnut Board (Board) uses this form to locally administer the Federal marketing order for California walnuts under the Agricultural Marketing Service’s oversight.

The following form currently contains an outdated office address. The California Walnut Board relocated to a different office address in 2024 and now requires this form to be updated to ensure all correspondence is sent to the correct address. Making this change to update the office address will provide form users the correct location to mail all correspondence and will not affect the burden hours for the processors and handlers completing these forms.

1. Report of Walnuts Exempt from Assessments, CWB Form 2: Handlers complete this form to report walnuts exempt from assessments due to a delivery to a noncompetitive outlet.
