Abstract
This rule adds Fallglo tangerines to the varieties of citrus fruit regulated under the marketing order covering oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, and tangelos grown in Florida. It also establishes minimum grade and size requirements for the Fallglo variety. These actions were unanimously recommended by the Citrus administrative Committee (committee) which locally administers the marketing order. This rule is intended to assure that Fallglo tangerines entering fresh market channels are of a size and quality acceptable to consumers in the interest of producers, shippers, and consumers.
