The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recommended changes to the federal marketing order regulating the handling of California raisins, following proposals by the Raisin Administrative Committee (RAC). The proposed amendments aim to reduce committee vacancies and improve attendance by reducing membership, changing quorum requirements, and altering representation. They also seek to provide cost savings and increase administrative efficiencies. The public is invited to comment on these recommendations within a 30-day period.
