§ 918.62 - Exemption certificates.

In the event peaches are regulated pursuant to § 918.60 or § 918.61, the committee shall issue one or more exemption certificates to any grower who furnishes evidence satisfactory to the Industry Committee that, by virtue of conditions beyond his control, he will be prevented by reason of such regulation from having as large a proportion of a particular variety of his peaches shipped to adjacent markets or to other markets, respectively, as the average proportion of all such peaches which may be so shipped by all growers in the area. Such exemption certificate shall permit the respective grower to whom the certificate is issued to ship, or have shipped, a percentage of his crop of such variety of peaches equal to the percentage determined as aforesaid. The Industry Committee shall adopt, with the approval of the Secretary, procedural rules by which such exemption certificates will be issued to growers. Such exemption certificates may be transferred to handlers when accompanied by peaches covered by such certificates.
