PERMANENT RULES
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
[Filed May 25, 2022, 10:42 a.m., effective June 25, 2022]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: This rule-making order amends chapter 16-414 WAC, Washington standards for cherries, by repealing WAC 16-414-086.
In 2006, the department repealed the shipping container requirements specified in WAC 16-414-085 to allow growers/packers and shippers to pack and market various types of containers that may be requested or required by buyers and the consuming public. WAC 16-414-086 still specifies how to obtain an exemption to the shipping container requirements specified in WAC 16-414-085. Since the shipping container requirements in WAC 16-414-085 were repealed, there is no longer a need to obtain container size exemptions. Therefore, the department is repealing WAC 16-414-086 since this language is now obsolete.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 16-414-086.
