    (a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) of this section, 
if the committee deems it advisable to regulate the handling of 
cranberries in the manner provided in Sec.  929.52, it shall so 
recommend to the Secretary by the following appropriate dates:
    (1) An allotment percentage regulation must be recommended by no 
later than March 1;
    (2) A handler withholding program must be recommended by not later 
than August 31. Such recommendation shall include the free and 
restricted percentages for the crop year;
    (3) If both programs are recommended in the same year, the Committee 
shall submit with its recommendation an economic analysis to the USDA 
prior to March 1 of the year in which the programs are recommended.
    (b) An exception to the requirement in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section may be made in a crop year in which, due to unforeseen 
circumstances, a producer allotment regulation is deemed necessary 
subsequent to the March 1 deadline.
    (c) In arriving at its recommendations for regulation pursuant to 
paragraph (a) of this section, the committee shall give consideration to 
current information with respect to the factors affecting the supply of 
and demand for cranberries during the period when it is proposed that 
such regulation should be imposed. With each such recommendation for 
regulation, the committee shall submit to the Secretary the data and 
information on which such recommendation is based and any other 
information the Secretary may request.
