Sec. 931.64  Termination.

    (a) The Secretary may at any time terminate the provisions of this 
part by giving at least one day's notice by means of a press release or 
in any other manner in which he may determine.
    (b) The Secretary shall terminate or suspend the operation of any 
and all of the provisions of this part whenever he finds that such 
provisions do not tend to effectuate the declared policy of the act.
    (c) The Secretary shall terminate the provisions of this part at the 
end of any fiscal period whenever he finds by a referendum or otherwise 
that continuance is not favored by the majority of producers who, during 
a representative period determined by the Secretary, were engaged in the 
production area in the production of pears for market in fresh form: 
Provided, That such majority has produced for market during such period 
more than 50 percent of the volume of pears produced for fresh market in 
the production area; but such termination shall be effective only if 
announced on or before June 30 of the then current fiscal period: 
Provided further, That the Secretary shall conduct such a referendum not 
later than 5 years from the effective date of this part.
    (d) The provisions of this part shall, in any event, terminate 
whenever the provisions of the act authorizing them cease to be in 
effect.
