This book is one of eight volumes containing the marketing agreements and orders issued by the Department of Agriculture for fruits, vegetables, specialty crops, and for milk in five specified geographical areas of the United States revised as of January 1, 1969. This revision replaces the revision of January 1, 1968. This volume contains the marketing agreements and orders together with import regulations, pertaining to vegetables (Parts 945-980), issued by the Consumer and Marketing Service. Part 900, the general regulations applicable to these marketing agreements and orders, appears in the first volume of this series in its regular codification sequence, and as a convenience to users, is repeated as a note at the beginning of this book. The text in this revision is derived from the latest text of the rules and regulations, general and permanent in nature, duly promulgated in the Federal Register on or before December 31, 1968. Source materials from which the text is derived are cited with the text and should be consulted to determine the effective date of any given provision. All dates appearing in the source citations are dates of publication in the Federal Register and should not be construed as effective dates. Current regulatory material appearing in the daily issues of the Federal Register follows the numbering system used herein and serves as a daily supplement hereto. This book contains the following finding aids: a table of CFR titles and chapters; an alphabetical list of CFR subtitles and chapters; redesignation tables indicating former part numbers of orders codified herein; and a list of sections affected which furnishes Federal Register citations to all changes in this book beginning January 1, 1964, including changes which are no longer in effect. This list of sections affected should be used in conjunction with the redesignation tables. A compilation of the list of sections affected for the entire Code of Federal Regulations from January 1, 1949, through December 31, 1963, is published in a separate volume entitled "List of Sections Affected, 1949-1963." A General Explanation of the Code of Federal Regulations, a list of current CFR volumes, and a list of superseded CFR volumes appear in the volume containing Title 1 and in the General Index volume. A list of titles, subtitles, chapters, subchapters, and parts of the entire Code of Federal Regulations is also published in the General Index volume. This volume is published pursuant to Part 30 of the regulations of the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register, as revised December 7, 1965 (30 F.R. 15131; 1 CFR Part 30), under the authority contained in section 11 of the Federal Register Act, as amended (44 U.S.C. 1510). The contents of the Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations are by law prima facie evidence of the text of the original documents and are required to be judicially noticed (44 U.S.C. 1507, 1510). The preferred citation of the Code is "CFR". Thus the citation "7 CFR 945.1" refers to section 945.1 of this Title. January 2, 1969. DAVID C. EBERHART |
