Raisins Produced From Grapes Grown in California; Reapportionment of Independent Handler Representation

Resumo

The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting as a final rule, without change, the provisions of an interim final rule which revised the administrative rules and regulations established under the Federal marketing order for raisins produced from grapes grown in California. The interim final rule reapportioned the representation established for independent and small cooperative marketing association handlers on the Raisin Administrative Committee (Committee), to provide more equitable representation. This rule is based on a unanimous recommendation of the Committee, which is responsible for local administration of the order.
