Traduction automatique locale · Langue originale de la source
Résumé
The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is revising the PACA Regulations to provide for a three-year license renewal period for retailers and grocery wholesalers, and provide all other licensees the option of renewing their licenses on an annual, biennial, or triennial basis. The PACA Amendments of 1995 (1995 Amendments) provided for the gradual elimination of license fees for retailers and grocery wholesalers over a three-year period ending November 14, 1998. The 1995 Amendments also gave the Secretary of Agriculture the authority to determine the interval for renewing licenses and asked the Secretary to take due account of savings to the program when determining the appropriate intervals for license renewals.
