d Effective time and supersedure.
The foregoing revised United States Consumer Standards for Fresh Spinach Leaves which are the second issue shall become effective upon publication in the F ederal R egister and thereupon supersede the United States Consumer Standards for Fresh Spinach Leaves 7
CFR 51.394 which have been in effect since February 28,1948.

1001 et seq..
Since February 28, 1948, the effective date of the current provisions of the United States Consumer Standards for Fresh Spinach Leaves 7 CFR 51.394, packers have been using such standards in packing their fresh spinach leaves.
During the past several months, the Department has conducted extensive in vestigations and carefully appraised the proposed changes. Discussions have been carried on with interested parties to obtain their views and comments as well as the benefits of their experiences and practices. Also, a large number of samples have been analyzed by the De partment with such interested parties.
After the use, study, and investigations, as aforesaid, of the current standards, interested parties have now requested that certain modifications be made therein.
