Sec.  929.54  Withholding.

    (a) Whenever the Secretary has fixed the free and restricted 
percentages for any fiscal period, as provided for in Sec.  929.52(a), 
each handler shall withhold from handling a portion of the cranberries 
acquired during such period. The withheld portion shall be equal to

the restricted percentage multiplied by the volume of marketable 
cranberries acquired. Such withholding requirements shall not apply to 
any lot of cranberries for which such withholding requirement previously 
has been met by another handler in accordance with Sec.  929.55.
    (b) The committee, with the approval of the Secretary, shall 
prescribe the manner in which, and date or dates during the fiscal 
period by which, handlers shall have complied with the withholding 
requirements specified in paragraph (a) of this section.
    (c) Withheld cranberries may meet such standards of grade, size, 
quality, or condition as the committee, with the approval of the 
Secretary, may prescribe. The Federal or Federal-State Inspection 
Service may inspect all such cranberries. A certificate of such 
inspection shall be issued which shall include the name and address of 
the handler, the number and type of containers in the lot, the location 
where the lot is stored, identification marks (including lot stamp, if 
used), and the quantity of cranberries in such lot that meet the 
prescribed standards. Promptly after inspection and certification, each 
such handler shall submit to the committee a copy of the certificate of 
inspection issued with respect to such cranberries.
    (d) Any handler who withholds from handling a quantity of 
cranberries in excess of that required pursuant to paragraph (a) of this 
section shall have such excess quantity credited toward the next fiscal 
year's withholding obligation, if any--provided that such credit shall 
be applicable only if the restricted percentage established pursuant to 
Sec.  929.52 was modified pursuant to Sec.  929.53; to the extent such 
excess was disposed of prior to such modification; and after such 
handler furnishes the committee with such information as it prescribes 
regarding such withholding and disposition.
    (e) The Committee, with the approval of the Secretary, may establish 
rules and regulations necessary and incidental to the administration of 
this section.
