Olives Grown in California and Imported Olives; Establishment of Limited-Use Olive Grade and Size Requirements

Résumé

The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting as a final rule, without change, the provisions of an interim final rule authorizing the use of smaller-sized olives in the production of limited-use styles for olives grown in California. This final rule allows more olives into market channels and is consistent with current market demand for olives. As required under section 8e of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937, this final rule also changes the olive import regulation so that it conforms with the requirements established under the California olive marketing order.
