## Abstract

This interim final rule provides an exemption to the pack and container requirements currently prescribed under the Florida tomato marketing order. The marketing order regulates the handling of tomatoes grown in Florida and is administered locally by the Florida Tomato Committee (Committee). This rule exempts shipments of single layer and two layer place packed tomatoes from the container net weight requirements under the marketing order. This rule will facilitate the movement of single layer and two layer place packed tomatoes and should improve returns to producers of Florida tomatoes.
