Abstract
This rule establishes terms and conditions for the issuance of grower diversion certificates by the Cherry Industry Administrative Board (Board) under the newly promulgated marketing order for tart cherries. In the event volume regulations are issued by the Secretary for the 1997 crop year, handlers could use such certificates in order to satisfy their restricted percentage amounts. Tart cherries handlers in Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin (Districts 5, 6, 8, and 9) would not be subject to volume regulation, if implemented, because these districts do not currently produce adequate tonnage to trigger such regulation under the order.
