Abstract
This rule will revise the United States Standard for Grades of Apples and the U.S. Condition Standards for Export. This rule revises the U.S. Extra Fancy and U.S. Fancy grades basic requirements section, the definition of damage by invisible water core, and the U.S. Condition Standards for Export to exempt the Fuji variety of apples from damage by invisible water core. This change will result in a benefit to handlers and producers of Fuji apples, by allowing more fruit to be marketed which would otherwise be graded as defective.
