Walnuts Grown in California; Report Regarding Interhandler Transfers of Walnuts

This rule will revise the administrative rules and regulations of the Federal marketing order for California walnuts (order) regarding reports of interhandler transfers of walnuts. The order regulates the handling of walnuts grown in California and is administered locally by the Walnut Marketing Board (Board). Currently, handlers report to the Board transfers of walnuts between handlers on monthly shipment reports. This rule will require handlers to report such interhandler transfers on a separate form. This action will facilitate program administration by providing the Board with more accurate and complete information on transfers and shipments.
