Sec. 945.23  Redistricting and reapportionment.

    (a) The Secretary, upon recommendation of the committee, may 
reestablish districts within the production area, may reapportion 
committee membership among the various districts, may increase the 
number of producer and/or handler members and alternates on the 
committee, and may change the composition of the committee by changing 
the ratio between producer and handler members, including their 
alternates. At least every six years, the committee shall review 
committee size, composition and representation and recommend to the 
Secretary whether changes should be made. In recommending any such 
changes, the committee shall give consideration to:
    (1) Shifts in potato acreage within districts and within the 
production area during recent years;
    (2) the importance of new potato production in its relation to 
existing districts;
    (3) the equitable relationship between committee membership and 
districts;
    (4) economies to result for producers in promoting efficient 
administration due to redistricting or reapportionment of members within 
districts; and
    (5) other relevant factors.
    (b) Membership of the committee shall be apportioned among the 
districts of the production area so as to provide the following 
representation or such other representation as recommended by the 
committee and approved by the Secretary:
    (1) Three producer members, including at least one who predominately 
produces seed potatoes, and one handler member, with their respective 
alternates, from District No. 1;
    (2) One producer member and one handler member, with their 
respective alternates, from District No. 2; and
    (3) One producer member and one handler member, with their 
respective alternates, from District No. 3.
