## Abstract

This rule decreases the continuing supplemental assessment rate established for the Winter Pear Control Committee (Committee) for the 2004-2005 and subsequent fiscal periods from $0.03 to $0.01 per 44- pound standard box or container equivalent of the Beurre d'Anjou variety of pears (d'Anjou pears) handled, excluding organically produced d'Anjou pears. The Committee locally administers the marketing order which regulates the handling of winter pears grown in Oregon and Washington. Authorization for a supplemental assessment rate on individual varieties or subvarieties of winter pears enables the Committee to fund authorized projects for these varieties. The fiscal period began July 1 and ends June 30. The supplemental assessment rate will remain in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated.
