§ 967.36 - Marketable Quantity.

(a) Whenever the committee recommends and the Secretary finds on the basis of such recommendations or other information, that limiting the total quantity of celery to be handled during a marketing season, or revising a Marketable Quantity previously established, would tend to effectuate the declared policy of the act, he shall establish the Marketable Quantity which handlers may handle as first handlers for such season, or revise a previously established Marketable Quantity.

(b) When a Marketable Quantity is established for any season, no handler may handle any harvested celery during such season unless (1) it is within the Marketable Allotment of a producer who has a Base Quantity pursuant to § 967.38, and (2) such producer authorized the first handler thereof to purchase or otherwise handle it.
