Sec.  946.22  Establishment and membership.

    (a) The State of Washington Potato Committee consisting of fifteen 
members, of whom ten shall be producers and five shall be handlers, is 
hereby established. For each member of the committee there shall be an 
alternate who shall have the same qualifications as the member.
    (b) The Secretary, upon recommendation of the committee, may 
reestablish districts, may reapportion members among districts, may 
change the number of members and alternate members, and may change the 
composition by changing the ratio of members, including their 
alternates. In recommending any such changes, the following shall be 
considered:
    (1) Shifts in acreage within districts and within the production 
area during recent years;
    (2) The importance of new production in its relation to existing 
districts;
    (3) The equitable relationship between committee apportionment and 
districts; and
    (4) Other relevant factors.
