Abstract
This interim final rule invites comments on a reduction of the production cap for the 1996 Raisin Diversion Program (RDP) for Natural (sun-dried) Seedless raisins. The production cap, which limits the amount of raisin tonnage per acre for which an RDP participant can receive credit, is reduced from 2.75 tons per acre to 2.2 tons per acre for this program. This reduction is intended to bring the production cap for 1996 in line with 1995 production per acre, which was approximately 20 percent smaller than the 1994 crop yield per acre. This rule was unanimously recommended by the Raisin Administrative Committee (Committee), the body which locally administers the marketing order.
