    (a) Before making any recommendations pursuant to Sec. 905.51 for 
any variety of fruit, the committee shall, with respect to the 
regulations permitted by

[[Page 49]]

Sec. 905.52, submit to the Secretary a detailed report setting forth an 
advisable marketing policy for such variety for the then current 
shipping season. Such report shall set forth the proportion of the 
remainder of the total crop of such variety of fruit (determined by the 
committee to be available for shipment during the remainder of the 
shipping season of such variety) deemed advisable by the committee to be 
shipped during such season.
    (b) In determining each such marketing policy and advisable 
proportion, the committee shall give due consideration to the following 
factors relating to citrus fruit produced in Florida and in other 
States: (1) The available crop of each variety of citrus fruit in 
Florida, and in other States, including the grades and sizes thereof, 
which grades and sizes in Florida shall be determined by the committee 
pursuant to Sec. 905.31; (2) the probable shipments of citrus fruit 
from other States; (3) the level and trend in consumer income; (4) the 
prospective supplies of competitive commodities; and (5) other pertinent 
factors bearing on the marketing of fruit.
    (c) In addition to the foregoing, the committees shall set forth a 
schedule of proposed regulations for the remainder of the shipping 
season for each variety of fruit for which recommendations to the 
Secretary pursuant to Sec. 905.51 are contemplated. Such schedules 
shall recognize the practical operations of harvesting and preparation 
for market of each variety and the change in grades and sizes thereof as 
the respective seasons advance. In the event it is deemed advisable to 
alter such marketing policy or advisable proportion as the shipping 
season progresses, in view of changed demand and supply conditions with 
respect to fruit, the said committee shall submit to the Secretary a 
report thereon.
    (d) The committee shall transmit a copy of each marketing policy 
report or revision thereof to the Secretary and to each producer and 
handler who files a request therefor. Copies of all such reports shall 
be maintained in the office of the committee where they shall be 
available for examination by producers and handlers.
