Advance notice of proposed rulemaking

Advance notice of proposed rule making. A little tentative, wouldn't you say? If you think it is all right, we are going to think about publishing a rule - probably - at some point in the future.
Sounds like pre-planning or other such bureaucratic doublespeak. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is apparently soon going to publish the "advance notice of proposed rule making" that will consider the role of food safety in marketing orders. I'm not sure if the ANPR (for short) will specifically look at leafy greens or if the notice will treat the subject more broadly.

What will be the result of the deliberation? Western Growers has indicated they would like to see a national marketing order approach for leafy greens, but as the ANPR suggests, getting the wheels of government turning could take years on this issue.
