Papayas Grown in Hawaii: Reapportionment of Grower Membership on the Papaya Administrative Committee

Resumo

This rule would reapportion grower membership on the Papaya Administrative Committee (committee) due to shifts in papaya production. The committee locally administers the Hawaii papaya marketing order (order) which regulates the handling of papayas grown in Hawaii. The committee is comprised of 13 members of which 9 are growers, 3 are handlers, and 1 is a public member. Since 1994, District 1 has been represented by seven grower members, and Districts 2 and 3 have been represented by one grower member each. This rule would reapportion grower membership by decreasing the number of grower members representing District 1 to six members and increasing the number of grower members representing District 3 to two members.
