or terminated with respect to any or all shipments of fresh pears grown

regulation obstructs or does not tend to effectuate the declared policy 
of the act, he or she shall suspend or terminate such regulation. On the 
same basis and in like manner, the Secretary may terminate any such 
modification or suspension.
