Dried Prunes Produced in California; Changes in Producer District Boundaries

Résumé

The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting as a final rule, without change, the provisions of an interim final rule which realigned the boundaries of seven districts established for independent producer representation on the Prune Marketing Committee (Committee). Realigning the boundaries provides for more equitable representation for those members, and makes provisions of the order consistent with current industry demographics. This rule was unanimously recommended by the Committee, the agency responsible for local administration of the federal marketing order regulating dried prunes produced in California.
