United States Standards for Grades of Creole Onions
AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
[[Page 52132]]
SUMMARY: This Notice would revise the United States Standards for Grades of Creole Onions, which were issued under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is proposing to amend the similar varietal characteristic requirement to allow mixed colors of onions when designated as a mixed or specialty pack. In addition, AMS would correct language and remove the ``Unclassified'' category from the standards. This revision would update the standards to more accurately represent today's marketing practices and to provide the industry with greater flexibility.
DATES: Comments must be received by October 21, 2013.
