    (6) General economic conditions; and

    (b) On or before August 1 of each year, the Fresh Pear Committee

of the investigations specified in this section, that such regulation as 
is provided in Sec.  927.51 will tend to effectuate the declared policy 
of the act.
    (c) In the event the Fresh Pear Committee at any time finds that by 
reason of changed conditions any regulation issued pursuant to Sec.  
927.51 should be modified, suspended, or terminated, it shall so 
recommend to the Secretary.
