Hazelnuts Grown in Oregon and Washington; Order Further Amending Marketing Order

This final rule further amends the marketing agreement and order for hazelnuts grown in Oregon and Washington (order). The amendments change order provisions regarding: Volume control; nomination and membership of the Hazelnut Marketing Board (Board); fiscal operations; and the administration and operation of the program. These changes were favored by hazelnut producers in a mail referendum held from November 27 through December 15, 1995. The amendments will improve the administration, operation, and functioning of the marketing order program by bringing the program more in line with current industry operating practices.
