As early as practicable, but no later than October 31, the Committee shall prepare and submit to the Secretary, a report setting forth its marketing policy, including data on which it is based, by variety, for regulation of dates in the crop year.
(a) The committee shall consider such factors as:
(1) The estimated production of dates during the crop year;
(2) The estimated production of DAC dates, export dates, and product dates;
(3) The handler carryin on October 1 of dates of those qualities;
(4) The estimated trade demand in each outlet during the crop year; and
(5) The desirable carryout, by outlet.
(b) If dates to be handled as free dates are not synonymous with those to be handled in DAC outlets, the Committee shall consider such additional factors as:
(1) The supply of marketable dates that will be available from the estimated production, and from the October 1 carryin, that could be used as free dates, and
(2) The estimated trade demand for free dates during the current crop year, and the desirable carryout for free dates.
(c) The Committee shall submit its recommendation as to grade, size, and container regulations and its recommendation whether free and restricted percentages should be established and if so, the free and restricted percentages and the appropriate withholding factor.
[43 FR 4252, Feb. 1, 1978]
In the event the Committee subsequently determines that the marketing policy should be modified due to changing supply or demand conditions, it shall formulate and submit to the Secretary its modified marketing policy along with the data which it considered in connection with such modification.
The Committee shall give notice through newspapers having general circulation in the area of production or by other means of communication to producers and handlers of the contents of each marketing policy report submitted to the Secretary and of each report modifying such marketing policy. Copies of all such reports shall be maintained in the office of the Committee where they shall be available for examination by producers and handlers.
Each crop year but no later than October 10 for continuing handlers and prior to handling dates in the case of new handlers, any person desiring to handle dates shall submit a report to the Committee on a form prescribed by it containing the following information with respect to all dates which such person expects to handle:
(a) The name and address of each producer;
(b) The location of each date garden; and
(c) The acreage and estimated current season's production thereon.
Those reports required to be filed by October 10 shall reflect producers who are signed up with the handlers as of October 1 of the then current crop year. The Committee, with the approval of the Secretary, may issue rules and regulations to carry out the provisions of this section.
