comment_details: AMS-AMS-20-0096-0036

Full comment text and metadata for a subset of Regulations.gov comments, from the regulations.gov API channel. Includes submitter type and organization. Includes attachment counts and links; the attachment files themselves are not included. Where the served build also carries the bulk-export merge (build_metadata.bulk_merge), most comments have text in comment_texts (reached through comment_bodies.body_sha256); DataDawn serves the API text where it exists, else the bulk text, and labels which. Withdrawn comments carry no text in either table by policy (decisions_log §128). ⚠ PARTICIPATION: where an agency folded a mass-comment campaign into a single record carrying an asserted count (comment_details.duplicate_comments), the same campaign usually also appears as thousands of individual records — measured 2026-08-30 across the regulations.gov bulk exports, 94.1% of dockets with a folded campaign also hold an unfolded one. Neither the record count nor the asserted count is the number of people who commented, and the two must never be summed. https://datadawn.org/methodology.html#participation

AMS-AMS-20-0096-0036 The standards for Watermelons are too outdated and I am very pleased we are processing to get them changed. From where we were 20 years ago to where we are now it is like night and day, and thrilled we are starting to move in the right direction. We have a long way to go and looking forward to the future work our association and the USDA.<br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/>Bob Gibson GIBSON PRODUCE & WATERMELON SALES GIBSON PRODUCE & WATERMELON SALES             Comment(s)   ko8-qxt2-qi95 0 AMS-AMS-20-0096-0003 2021-05-03T04:00:00Z       1 0
