    The committee is authorized to incur such expenses as the Secretary 
finds are reasonable and likely to be incurred during each fiscal period 
by the committee for its maintenance and functioning, and for such 
purposes as the Secretary, pursuant to this subpart, determines to be 
appropriate. Each first handler's pro rata share of such expenses shall 
be proportionate to the ratio between the total quantity of melons 
handled by him as the first handler thereof during a fiscal period and 
the total quantity of melons so handled by all handlers as first 
handlers thereof during such fiscal period.
