safeguards may include the requirements that handlers shall file 
applications and receive approval from the committee for authorization 
to handle kiwifruit pursuant to this section, and that such applications 
be accompanied by a certification by the intended purchaser or receiver 
that the kiwifruit will not be used for any purpose not authorized by 
this section.
