Abstract
This final rule establishes handler reporting requirements and establishes interest charges on overdue assessments. This rule will contribute to the efficient operation of the program by helping to ensure that assessments are available in a timely manner to cover budgeted expenses incurred under the marketing order. The Walla Walla Sweet Onion Committee (Committee) believes that these actions are the only alternatives available to ensure timely payments of assessments. These actions are expected to reduce the need for compliance efforts and thereby reduce the costs to administer the order.
