Sec.  920.55  Inspection and certification.

    (a) Whenever the handling of any variety of kiwifruit is regulated 
pursuant to Sec.  920.52, or Sec.  920.53, each handler who handles 
kiwifruit shall, prior thereto, cause such kiwifruit to be inspected by 
the Federal or Federal-State Inspection Service and certified as meeting 
the applicable requirements of such regulation: Provided, That 
inspection and certification shall not be required for kiwifruit which 
previously have been so inspected and certified if such prior inspection 
was performed within such period as may be established pursuant to 
paragraph (b) of this section. Promptly after inspection and 
certification, each such handler shall submit, or cause to be submitted, 
to the committee a copy of the certificate of inspection issued with 
respect to such kiwifruit. The committee may, with the approval of the 
Secretary, prescribe rules and regulations waiving the inspection 
requirements of this section where it is determined that inspection is 
not available: Provided, That all shipments made under such waiver shall 
comply with all regulations in effect.
    (b) The committee may, with the approval of the Secretary, establish 
a period prior to shipment during which the inspection required by this 
section must be performed.
    (c) The committee may enter into an agreement with the Federal and 
Federal-State Inspection Services with respect to the costs of the 
inspection required by paragraph (a) of this section, and may collect 
from handlers their respective pro rata shares of such costs.
