United States Standards for Grades of Creole Onions
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Final notice.

SUMMARY: This Notice revises the U.S. Standards for Grades of Creole Onions, which are issued under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the similar varietal characteristic requirement to allow mixed colors of onions, when designated as a mixed or specialty pack, to be certified to a U.S. grade. In addition, AMS will correct language and remove the ``Unclassified'' category from the standards. These revisions will align the standards with today's marketing practices and provide the industry with greater flexibility.

DATES: Effective Date: November 24, 2014.
