Abstract
The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting as a final rule, with appropriate modifications, the provisions of an interim final rule which revised container requirements and added a new container to those authorized for use by handlers of Texas citrus. This final rule continues a relaxation of pack requirements by requiring containers to have at least one-third Texas citrus by volume, rather than 50 percent citrus by count. This rule allows for more efficient use of containers and provides handlers with more flexibility in packing mixed packs.
