Sweet Cherries Grown in Designated Counties in Washington: 
Establishment of Minimum Size and Maturity Requirements for Rainier 
Variety Cherries

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Correction amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This docket contains a correction to the final regulation 
which was published Tuesday, June 21, 1994, (59 FR 31917). The final 
rule established a minimum size requirement of 11 row size (61/64 inch 
diameter) and a minimum maturity requirement of 17 percent soluble 
solids for Rainier variety cherries that can be shipped to fresh market 
outlets. The rule inadvertently omitted some regulatory text, and this 
action corrects those errors.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The correcting amendments are effective December 27, 
1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulation that is the subject of this correction 
inadvertently omitted several paragraphs of regulatory language which 
should be added. These paragraphs were omitted from the June 21, 1994, 
final rule (59 FR 31917) regulating minimum size and maturity 
requirements for Rainier variety cherries effective and resulted in an 
incomplete text of the regulatory requirements for the handling of 
cherries.

Need for Correction

to be misleading and are in need of proper clarification.
