Suspension of Provisions of Marketing Order 918; Fresh Peaches Grown in Georgia

This rule is a continuation of a suspension order that suspends, for two additional fiscal years, effective March 1, 1995, through February 28, 1997, all provisions of Federal Marketing Order No. 918 for fresh peaches grown in Georgia (order), and the rules and regulations issued thereunder. This rule is the result of a recommendation for continued suspension made by trustees of the Georgia Peach Industry Committee (trustees). The trustees' recommendation was based upon the belief that a State program, which is currently active in market promotion and merchandising for the Georgia peach industry, could provide the quality, maturity, and size regulations that were in effect under the Federal order, and would result in more efficient use of industry funds. The trustees believe more time is needed to study changes in the industry, and any new developments which could affect the need for, or status of, the order.
