Abstract
This interim final rule exempts the Black Corinth variety of grapes from the minimum bunch and berry size requirements issued for grapes under the Export Grape and Plum Act. This rule is designed to expand the markets for this variety of grapes and to increase their fresh utilization. This rule was recommended by the California Grape and Tree Fruit League after the proposal had been presented at industry meetings of growers and handlers.
