Cranberries Grown in the States of Massachusetts, et al.; Temporary Suspension of Provisions in the Rules and Regulations

This rule suspends certain sections in the rules and regulations to shorten the appeals procedure for growers who disagree with their sales history determination made by the Cranberry Marketing Committee (Committee) for the 2000/2001 marketing season. Due to the lateness of the season, and the numerous appeals received, the Committee recommended that review of the subcommittee's determination by the full Committee be suspended to shorten the appeal process during the current season. This time savings is important because harvest is expected to begin soon and final decisions need to be made so growers know how many cranberries handlers can buy from them under this season's volume regulation.
