## Abstract

This interim final rule changes the size requirement from a 2 inch minimum diameter or 4 ounce minimum weight to a 1\7/8\ inch minimum diameter for Centennial Russet variety potatoes grown in Area No. 2 of Colorado. The current size requirement for Centennial Russets is larger than the requirement for similar long varieties. This change recognizes the similarity and should provide potato handlers with more marketing flexibility, growers with increased returns, and consumers with a greater supply of potatoes.
