Sec. 906.45  Inspection and certification.

    (a) During any period in which handling of a variety of a type of 
fruit is regulated pursuant to Sec. Sec. 906.34, 906.40, 906.42, or any 
combination thereof, no handler shall handle any variety of such type of 
fruit which has not been inspected by an authorized representative of 
the Federal or Federal-State Inspection Service, unless such handling is 
relieved from such requirements pursuant to Sec. 906.41 or Sec. 
906.42, or both;
    (b) Regrading, resorting, or repacking any lot of fruit shall 
invalidate any prior inspection insofar as the requirements of this 
section are concerned. No handler shall handle fruit after it has been 
regraded, resorted, repacked, or in any other way prepared for market, 
unless each lot of fruit is inspected by an authorized representative of 
the Federal or Federal-State Inspection Service: Provided, That the 
committee, with the approval of the Secretary, may provide for waiving 
inspection requirements on any fruit in circumstances where it appears 
reasonably certain that, after regrading, resorting, or repacking, such 
fruit meets the applicable quality and other standards then in effect;
    (c) Insofar as the requirements of this section are concerned, the 
length of time for which an inspection certificate is valid may be 
established by the

committee with the approval of the Secretary;
    (d) When fruit is inspected in accordance with the requirements of 
this section a copy of each inspection certificate issued shall be made 
available to the committee by the inspection service;
    (e) The committee may recommend and the Secretary may require that 
any fruit handled or transported by motor vehicle shall be accompanied 
by a copy of the inspection certificate issued thereon, which 
certificate shall be surrendered to such authority as may be designated.
