Fresh Pears and Peaches Grown in California; Suspension of the Pear Provisions and Certain Nomination Provisions, and Referendum Order Under Marketing Order No. 917

Streszczenie

This rule suspends all the provisions applicable to pears and certain nomination provisions under Federal Marketing Order (M.O.) No. 917. This rule also directs that a referendum be conducted among eligible pear producers in California to determine whether they favor continuance of the pear provisions under M.O. 917. This suspension is being implemented because the California Bartlett pear industry is now using a California State pear program, and is no longer using the pear provisions under M.O. 917.
