Abstract
This rule reduces the additional holding and storage payments regarding 2002 Natural (sun-dried) Seedless reserve raisins that are carried into the 2003 crop year and intended for use as cattle feed. The crop year runs from August 1 through July 31. Such payments are authorized under the Federal marketing order for California raisins (order). The order regulates the handling of raisins produced from grapes grown in California and is administered locally by the Raisin Administrative Committee (RAC). This action will reduce expenses incurred by the 2002 reserve pool and thereby help improve returns to 2002 equity holders, primarily raisin producers.
