Fruits; Import Regulations (Oranges); Reinstatement of Suspended Minimum Orange Import Grade Requirement

Resumo

This final rule reinstates, with minor revisions, the suspended minimum grade requirement for oranges imported into the United States. This requirement was temporarily suspended on October 24, 1991, to provide the United States Trade Representative (USTR) adequate time to review contemplated changes in the import requirements. This rule is needed so that imported oranges meet the same minimum grade requirement as is established for oranges under the marketing order covering Texas oranges, consistent with section 8e of the amended Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937.
