Kiwifruit Grown in California; Revision of Inspection Requirements

摘要

This final rule extends the validation period for initial inspection certificates issued for California kiwifruit from December 15 to December 31 or 21 days from the date of inspection, whichever is later. The current period does not allow sufficient time between the initial inspection, which may occur between October and December, and reinspection which must occur after December 15. This rule will reduce costs to the industry because of the increase in time between the initial inspection and reinspection.
