    Except as otherwise provided in this section, any person may, 
without regard to the provisions of Secs. 915.41, 915.51, and 915.54, 
and the regulations issued thereunder, handle avocados (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 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 avocados 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 
avocados pursuant to this section, and that such applications be 
accompanied by a certification by the intended purchaser or receiver 
that the avocados will not be used for any purpose not authorized by 
this section.
