## Abstract

The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting, as a final rule, without change, the provisions of an interim final rule which changed the handling regulation prescribed under the South Texas onion marketing order by removing the Sunday packing and loading prohibitions. The marketing order regulates the handling of onions grown in South Texas and is administered locally by the South Texas Onion Committee (Committee). This rule allows the South Texas onion industry to compete more effectively with other growing areas, better meet buyer needs, and increase supplies of South Texas onions in the marketplace.
