Cranberries Grown in the States of Massachusetts, et al.; Increased Assessment Rate

Краткое содержание

This rule would increase the assessment rate established for the Cranberry Marketing Committee (Committee) for the 2000-2001 and subsequent fiscal periods from $0.06 to $0.08 per barrel of cranberries acquired by handlers. The Committee locally administers the Federal marketing order which regulates the handling of cranberries grown in the production area. Authorization to assess cranberry handlers enables the Committee to incur expenses that are reasonable and necessary to administer the program. The fiscal period began September 1 and ends August 30. The assessment rate would remain in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated.
