Sec. 718.204  Reconstitution of allotments, quotas, and acreages.

    (a) Farms shall be reconstituted in accordance with this subpart 
when it is determined that the land areas are not properly constituted 
and, to the extent practicable, shall be based on the facts and 
conditions existing at the time the change requiring the reconstitution 
occurred.
    (b) Reconstitutions of farms subject to a production flexibility 
contract in accordance with part 1412 of this title will be effective 
for the current year if initiated on or before July 1 of the fiscal 
year.
    (c) For tobacco and peanut farms, a reconstitution will be effective 
for the current year for each crop for which the reconstitution is 
initiated before the planting of such crop begins or would have begun.
    (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (b) and (c) of this 
section, a reconstitution may be effective for the current year if the 
county committee, with the concurrence of the State committee, 
determines that the purpose of the request for reconstitution is not to 
perpetrate a scheme or device the effect of which is to avoid the 
statutes and regulations governing commodity programs found in this 
title.
