Abstract
This interim final rule would relax pack requirements to allow handlers to ship U.S. No. 2 grade potatoes in one-piece 50-pound cartons to better meet buyer needs. Currently, only U.S. No. 1 and better grade potatoes can be shipped in cartons. The relaxed pack requirements will enable handlers to ship a substantial amount of U.S. No. 2 grade potatoes in cartons and help maximize producer returns.
