Sec. 946.50  Marketing policy.

    (a) Prior to each marketing season, the committee shall consider and 
prepare a policy statement for the marketing of potatoes. In developing 
its marketing policy, the committee shall investigate relevant supply 
and demand conditions for potatoes. In such investigations, the 
committee shall give appropriate considerations to the following:
    (1) Market prices of potatoes, including prices by grade, size, 
quality, and maturity in different packs of fresh potatoes and of the 
various forms of processed potatoes;
    (2) Supplies of potatoes by grade, size, quality, and maturity in 
the production area and in other production areas, of fresh potatoes, 
and the supplies of various forms of processed potatoes;
    (3) The trend and level of consumer income;
    (4) Establishing and maintaining orderly marketing conditions for 
potatoes;
    (5) Orderly marketing of potatoes as will be in the public interest; 
and
    (6) Other relevant factors.
    (b) In the event it becomes advisable to deviate from such marketing 
policy because of changed supply and demand conditions, the committee 
shall formulate a revised marketing policy statement in accordance with 
the appropriate considerations in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) The committee shall submit a report to the Secretary setting 
forth such marketing policy. Notice of each such marketing policy and 
any revision thereof shall be given to producers, handlers, and other 
interested parties by bulletins, newspapers, or other appropriate media,
