Winter Pears Grown in Oregon, Washington, and California; Revision of Reporting Requirements

요약

The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting as a final rule, without change, the provisions of the interim final rule which reduced the reporting requirements for handlers who have shipped less than 2,500 standard western pear boxes during any two-week reporting period of the shipping season. This action decreases the reporting burden on such handlers while maintaining the information collection necessary for the efficient operation of the program. This rule was recommended by the Winter Pear Control Committee (Committee), the agency responsible for the local administration of the marketing order for winter pears.
