Sec. 929.50  Transfers.

    (a) Transfers to another grower. A grower who owns cranberry acreage 
on which a sales history has been established may transfer the acreage 
and sales history to another grower. When transfers of acreage occur, 
transfers of sales history will be made under the following conditions:
    (1) A lease agreement between the owner of the cranberry producing 
acreage and a lessee: Terms of such lease agreement shall be filed with 
the committee prior to the committee recognizing such transfer. The 
lease agreement filed with the committee shall include the following 
information:
    (i) Name of owner and lessee;
    (ii) Starting and ending dates of the lease;
    (iii) Amount of acreage transferred; and
    (iv) The amount of sales history transferred.
    (2) Total sale of cranberry acreage. When there is a sale of a 
grower's total cranberry producing acreage, the seller and buyer shall 
file a completed transfer form with the committee and the buyer will 
have immediate access to the sales history computation process.
    (3) Partial sale or lease of cranberry acreage. When less than the 
total cranberry producing acreage is sold or leased, sales history 
associated with the portion of the acreage being sold or leased shall be 
transferred with the acreage. The seller and lessor shall provide the 
committee with a completed transfer or lease form outlining such 
distribution of acreage and sales history between the parties. Such 
transfer or lease form shall include that percentage of the sales 
history, as defined in Sec. 929.48(a)(1), attributable to the acreage 
being transferred or leased.
    (4) No transfer shall be recognized by the committee unless the 
transferee and transferor notify the committee in writing: Provided 
That, if unusual circumstances exist, the Committee may recognize a 
transfer when only one form from the transferee or transferor is filed 
with the committee.
    (5) In a year of nonregulation, in the absence of any sales history 
associated with the cranberry acreage being transferred or leased, the 
committee shall determine the buyer's or lessee's sales history pursuant 
to Sec. 929.48 of the order.
    (6) During a year when a volume regulation has been established, no 
transfer or lease of cranberry producing acreage, without accompanying 
sales history, shall be recognized until the committee is in receipt of 
a completed transfer or lease form.
    (b) The committee may establish, with the approval of the Secretary, 
rules and regulations, as needed, for the implementation and operation 
of this section.
