## Abstract

This rule revises the container requirements currently prescribed under the California grape marketing order. The marketing order regulates the handling of grapes grown in a designated area of southeastern California and is administered locally by the California Desert Grape Administrative Committee (Committee). This rule revises the dimensions of three containers currently authorized for use by grape handlers regulated under the marketing order, adds two new containers, and makes several conforming and formatting changes. This revision to container requirements will bring the container requirements into conformity with those recently adopted by the State of California, will address the marketing and shipping needs of the grape industry, is expected to improve returns for handlers and producers, and is in the interest of consumers.
