committee to handle fruit affected or to be affected under the 
provisions of Sec. Sec. 906.41 and 906.42.
    (b) The committee may rescind or deny certificates of privilege to

the provisions of this part.
    (c) The Secretary shall have the right to modify, change, alter, or 
rescind any safeguards prescribed and any certificates issued by the

showing the number of applications for such certificates, the quantity 
of fruit covered by such applications, the number of such applications
