Abstract
The Department of Agriculture (Department) is adopting, as a final rule, with modifications, the provisions of an interim final rule (IFR) that relaxed for 1997 and subsequent crop peanuts, several provisions regulating the handling of domestically produced peanuts marketed in the United States. This finalization continues the IFR's improved efficiency and reduced program costs resulting in a similar reduction in assessments charged Agreement signer and non-signer handlers.
