Kiwifruit Grown in California; Change in Reporting Requirements and New Information Collection

This rule changes the reporting requirements currently prescribed under the marketing order that regulates the handling of kiwifruit grown in California. The order is administered locally by the Kiwifruit Administrative Committee (Committee). This rule requires handlers to file two new end-of-season reports with the Committee. One report contains price and handler shipment information and the other report contains grower shipment information. The Committee uses this information to determine appropriate grower representation on the Committee, to conduct grower nominations, to verify shipments for assessment collections, and to prepare the annual report and the annual marketing policy, as required under the order.
