Sec. 987.34  Development.

    As early as practicable, but no later than October 31, the Committee 
shall prepare and submit to the Secretary, a report setting forth its 
marketing policy, including data on which it is based, by variety, for 
regulation of dates in the crop year.
    (a) The committee shall consider such factors as: (1) The estimated 
production of dates during the crop year; (2) the estimated production 
of DAC dates, export dates, and product dates; (3) the handler carryin 
on October 1 of dates of those qualities; (4) the estimated trade demand 
in each outlet during the crop year; and (5) the desirable carryout, by 
outlet.
    (b) If dates to be handled as free dates are not synonymous with 
those to be handled in DAC outlets, the Committee shall consider such 
additional factors as: (1) The supply of marketable dates that will be 
available from the estimated production, and from the October 1 carryin, 
that could be used as free dates, and (2) the estimated trade demand for 
free dates during the current crop year, and the desirable carryout for 
free dates.
    (c) The Committee shall submit its recommendation as to grade, size, 
and container regulations and its recommendation whether free and 
restricted percentages should be established and if so, the free and 
restricted percentages and the appropriate withholding factor.
