Abstract
This interim final rule requests comments on the temporary suspension of an order provision requiring a producer continuance referendum to be conducted on the marketing order for cranberries during the month of May 1999. The industry currently is experiencing unsettled marketing conditions due to a surplus of product. A temporary delay in holding the continuance referendum will allow the Cranberry Marketing Committee (Committee) to finalize the development of a plan to improve the marketing situation, hold producer meetings throughout the production area to update them on the situation, and begin implementing the plan.
