creeping crawl jobs. Best of all, this super low is matched

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.
