Title: Growers' Trust Protection Eligibility and the Clarification of "Written Notifications" as Set Forth in Section 6(b) of the PACA  
Abstract:

The proposed revisions to the regulations would provide greater direction to growers that employ growers’ agents on how they may preserve their trust rights under the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA).  The proposed revisions would also clarify the definition of written notification and the jurisdiction of the USDA to investigate alleged violations under the PACA.
