Irish Potatoes Grown in Certain Designated Counties in Idaho, and Malheur County, Oregon; Order Further Amending Marketing Order

요약

This final rule further amends the marketing agreement and order for potatoes grown in Idaho-Eastern Oregon (order). The amendments include authority to: regulate shipments of potatoes within the production area, change representation and quorum procedures of the committee, set container marking and labeling requirements, and require the committee to consider, at least every six years, changes in committee size or reapportionment of committee membership. Also, they change committee fiscal operations, add confidentiality and verification provisions to the order, and make other miscellaneous changes that are consistent with the amendments. These changes were favored by the subject potato producers in a referendum held from April 3-17, 1995. The amendments will improve the administration, operation and functioning of the marketing order program.
