Sec. 931.56  Exemptions.

    The committee shall issue certificates of exemption to any producer 
who applies for such exemption and furnishes adequate evidence to the 
committee:
    (a) That by reason of a regulation he will be prevented from 
handling or having handled as large a proportion of his production as 
the average proportion of production handled by or for all producers in 
said applicant's production district; and
    (b) That the grade, size, or quality of the applicant's pears have 
been adversely affected by acts beyond the applicant's reasonable 
expectation or control. Each certificate shall permit the producer to 
handle or to have handled the amount of pears specified thereon. Such 
certificates shall be transferred with such pears at time of shipment. 
The committee shall be permitted at any time to make a thorough 
investigation of any producer's claim for exemptions and shall determine 
what conditions constitute acts beyond the grower's reasonable 
expectation or control.
