Sec. 906.21  Redistricting.

    The committee may recommend, and pursuant thereto the Secretary may 
approve, the reapportionment of members among districts, the 
reapportionment of members between grower and handler members 
representing cooperative marketing organizations and independent grower 
and independent handler members, and the re-establishment of districts 
within the production area. In recommending such changes, the committee 
shall give consideration to: (a) Shifts in production; (b) the 
importance of new production in its relation to existing districts; (c) 
the equitable relationship of committee membership and districts; (d) 
changes in amount of fruit handled by cooperative marketing 
organizations in relation to fruit handled by independent handlers; and 
(e) other relevant factors. No changes in districting or in 
apportionment of members may become effective in less than 30 days prior 
to the date on which terms of office begin each year and no 
recommendations for such redistricting or reapportionment may be made 
less than six months prior to such date.
