Abstract
This rule increases the assessment rate from $0.0035 to $0.00385 per \4/5\ bushel carton established for the Citrus Administrative Committee (Committee) under Marketing Order No. 905 for the 1998-99 and subsequent fiscal periods. The Committee is responsible for local administration of the marketing order which regulates the handling of citrus grown in Florida. Authorization to assess citrus handlers enables the Committee to incur expenses that are reasonable and necessary to administer the program. The fiscal period began August 1 and ends July 31. The assessment rate will remain in effect indefinitely unless modified, suspended, or terminated.
