Pa. ; i,>»t i Produce Fee May Be Raised Effective Feb. 1 An increase in Perishable Ag ricultural Commodities Act lic ence fees was proposed today by the U. S Department of Agri culture. The proposal provides that, ef fective Feb 1, 1957, the annual fee will be $25 for a new (license or a license due for renewal on or after that date, $3O for a li cense reinstated within 30 days after its termination, and $2 each for copies of licences. Previous ly, the respective fees were $l5, $2O, and $l. Costs of administering the Act have increased substantially since June 1950 when the current an nual fee of $l5 became effec tive. These higher costs are due to an increase in the number and complexity of complaints filed, additional personnel needed to handle complaints more expedi ously, and added urogram costs of salaries and other expenses. In addition, the limited force now engaged in administering the Act would be increased in order to carry put enforcement of the more restictive misbrand ing and licensing revisions of the A Ol ,as amended by Public Law 842, 84tK Corigieas, approved Ju dy 30, 1956. The PAC Act is a Federal sta tute administered by the Fruit and Vegetable Division of US DA’s Agricultural Marketing Ser vice. It requires the licensing of fruit and vegetable dealers, and assists in the settlement of com plaints and disputes of shippers and receivers. It seeks, also, to prevent the misbranding or mis representing of produce to the detriment of the industry. Cur rently, approximately 27,000 li censes are in effect. During the 1956 fiscal year 2,900 complaints were handled under the Act. Payments to com plamtants, as a result of infor mal handling of complaints, to taled approximately $1,000,000.' Personal investigations were-con ducted Sn 859 cases. A total of 274 formal orders were issued by the Department’s Judicial Of ficer, amounting to approximate ly $300,000. Since no appropria tion is made by Congress, the en tire administrative cost of serv ices performed by the Depart ment, except for legal service, is met through license fees. Proposed revisions in the PA CA rules and regulations needed to carry out the provisions by li censees and other interested per sons in the fruit and vegetable industry. Interested persons may file views and comments concerning the proposed fees with the Fruit and Vegetable Division, AMS, USDA, Washington 25, D. C. by January 7, 1957.
