Abstract
This rule terminates the Federal marketing order regulating the handling of celery grown in Florida (order) and the rules and regulations issued thereunder. The Florida celery industry has not operated under the order since its provisions were suspended January 12, 1995. The celery industry has experienced a loss of market share; a significant reduction in the number of producers and handlers has diminished the need for regulating Florida celery; and there is no industry support for reactivating the order. Therefore, there is no need to continue this order.
