Filberts/Hazelnuts Grown In Oregon and Washington; Establishment of Interim Final and Final Free and Restricted Percentages for the 1993-94 Marketing Year

概要

The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting as a final rule, without change, the provisions of an interim final rule establishing interim final and final free and restricted percentages for domestic inshell filberts/hazelnuts for the 1993-94 marketing year under the Federal marketing order for filberts/hazelnuts grown in Oregon and Washington. The percentages allocate the amounts of domestically produced filberts/hazelnuts which may be marketed in domestic, export and other outlets. The percentages are intended to stabilize the supply of domestic inshell filberts/hazelnuts in order to meet the limited domestic demand for such filberts/hazelnuts and provide reasonable returns to producers. This rule was recommended by the Filbert/Hazelnut Marketing Board (Board), which is the agency responsible for local administration of the order.
