Winter Pears Grown in Oregon and Washington; The Establishment of a Supplemental Rate of Assessment for the Beurre d'Anjou Variety of Pears and of a Definition for Organically Produced Pears

Краткое содержание

This rule would establish a supplemental rate of assessment of $0.03 per standard box of the Beurre d'Anjou variety of pears (d'Anjou pears) handled, excluding organically produced pears, during the 2001- 2002 and subsequent fiscal periods under the marketing order regulating the handling of winter pears grown in Oregon and Washington. The marketing order is administered locally by the Winter Pear Control Committee (Committee). To properly implement the supplemental rate of assessment, which would be used for the purpose of funding data collection for Ethoxyquin residue on stored d'Anjou pears, this rule would also establish a definition for organically produced pears. The fiscal period began July 1 and ends June 30. The supplemental rate of assessment would remain in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated.
