7 CFR Part 920

[Doc. No. AO-FV-08-0174; AMS-FV-08-0085; FV08-920-3 C]


Kiwifruit Grown in California; Order Amending Marketing Order No. 
920; Correction

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the final rule that was 
published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, June 29, 2010 (75 FR 
37288). The final rule amended Marketing Order No. 920 (order), which 
regulates the handling of kiwifruit grown in California. The amendments 
redefined the grower districts into which the production area is 
divided and reallocated committee membership among the districts. This 
rule corrects the final rule by removing order language regarding 
selection of members and alternates that was inadvertently kept in 
after the removal of the language as a conforming change was approved 
by growers in a referendum.

DATES: Effective January 25, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document provides a correcting 
amendment to Marketing Order 920 (7 CFR part 920). Specifically, this 
rule removes language from Sec.  920.21--``Term of Office'' that refers 
to the selection of three committee members and alternates to represent 
the districts with the highest shipping volumes.
    The Kiwifruit Administrative Committee (committee) is comprised of 
eleven grower members and eleven alternates, as well as one public 
member and alternate. Prior to the recent order amendment, the 
regulated production area was divided into eight grower districts. One 
grower member and one alternate were selected to represent each of the 
eight districts on the committee. Three members and alternates were 
selected to provide additional representation for the three districts 
with the highest shipping volume.
    A final rule was published on June 29, 2010 (75 FR 37288) that 
amended section 920.12 of the order to provide for only three grower 
districts, with all eleven grower member and alternate seats allocated 
among the districts based on production history. A conforming change 
was necessary in section 920.21, to delete references to additional 
members and alternates for the districts with the highest shipping 
volume as this was no longer relevant under the modified district 
makeup. Although this conforming change was approved, along with the 
district changes to section 920.12, AMS inadvertently kept the language 
in 920.21 that was no longer relevant. This correcting amendment 
removes that language.
