§ 911.52 - Limes not subject to regulations.

Except as otherwise provided in this section, any person may, without regard to the provisions of §§ 911.41, 911.48, 911.51, and 911.54 through 911.58, and the regulations issued thereunder, handle limes (a) for consumption by charitable institutions; (b) for distribution by relief agencies; (c) for commercial processing into products; or (d) in such minimum quantities or types of shipments, or for such specified purposes as the committee, with the approval of the Secretary, may prescribe. The committee shall, with the approval of the Secretary, prescribe such rules, regulations, and safeguards as it may deem necessary to prevent limes handled under the provisions of this section from entering channels of trade for other than the specific purposes authorized by this section. Such rules, regulations, and safeguards may include the requirements that handlers shall file applications with the committee for authorization to handle limes pursuant to this section, and that such applications be accompanied by a certification by the intended purchaser or receiver that the limes will not be used for any purpose not authorized by this section.
