Irish Potatoes Grown in Certain Designated Counties in Idaho, and Malheur County, Oregon; Recommended Decision and Opportunity to File Written Exceptions to Proposed Further Amendment of the Marketing Agreement and Order No. 945

摘要

This recommended decision invites written exceptions on proposed amendments to the subject marketing agreement and order (order). The proposed amendments would include authority to: regulate shipments of potatoes within the production area, change representation and quorum procedures of the Idaho-Eastern Oregon Potato Committee (committee), set container marking and labeling requirements, and require the committee to consider, at least every six years, changes in committee size or reapportionment of committee membership. Also, other proposals would change committee fiscal operations, add confidentiality and verification provisions to the order, and make other miscellaneous changes that would be consistent with the proposed amendments. The proposed amendments are designed to improve order operations.
