Sec. 916.37  Shippers' Advisory Committee.

    (a) A Shippers' Advisory Committee, consisting of five members and 
their respective alternates who shall be handlers, or employees of 
handlers, selected by the handlers in accordance with the provisions of 
this section, is hereby established. The members and their respective 
alternates shall be selected biennially for a term ending on the last 
day of February of odd numbered years. An alternate member shall, in the 
event of the member's absence from a meeting of the committee, act in 
the place and stead of such member, and, in the event of a vacancy in 
the office of such member, shall act in the place and stead of such 
member until a successor for the unexpired term of such member has been 
selected.
    (b) The members and alternate members of the Shippers' Advisory 
Committee shall be elected by handlers at a general meeting of all 
handlers and shall serve in such capacities during the marketing seasons 
subsequent to such election. Such meeting shall be supervised by the 
Nectarine Administrative Committee which may prescribe such rules and 
procedures as may be necessary to assure a membership representative of 
all shippers.
    (c) The Shippers' Advisory Committee may attend each meeting of the 
Nectarine Administrative Committee held to consider recommendations with 
respect to regulations of shipments pursuant to the provisions of this 
subpart. The Shippers' Advisory Committee may advise the committee on 
matters relating to such recommendations, but shall have no vote with 
such committee in any matter. Members of the Shippers' Advisory 
Committee shall serve without compensation but may be reimbursed for 
expenses necessarily incurred in attendance of meetings of the Nectarine 
Administrative Committee.
