[Docket No. FV05-979-1 IFR]
Melons grown in South Texas; temporary suspension of handling
and assessment collection regulations
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Interim final rule with request for comments.
SUMMARY: This rule suspends, for the 2004-05 fiscal period, the
minimum grade, quality, maturity, container, pack, inspection,
assessment collection, and other related requirements currently
prescribed under the South Texas melon (cantaloupes and
honeydews) marketing order (order). It also suspends reporting
requirements, except for the acreage planting reports, which
will continue to be required during the suspension period. The
order regulates the handling of melons grown in South Texas and
is administered locally by the South Texas Melon
Committee (Committee). This rule will reduce handler costs while
the industry evaluates whether the marketing order should be
continued.
