    Prior to or at the same time as initial recommendations are made 
pursuant to Sec.  966.51, the committee shall submit to the Secretary a 
report setting forth the marketing policy it deems desirable for the 
industry to follow in shipping tomatoes from the production area during 
the ensuring season. Additional reports shall be submitted from time to 
time if it is deemed advisable by the committee to adopt a new or 
modified marketing policy because of changes in the demand and supply 
situation with respect to tomatoes. The committee shall publicly 
announce the submission of each such marketing policy report and copies 
thereof shall be available at the committee's office for inspection by 
any producer or any handler. In determining each such marketing policy 
the committee shall give due consideration to the following:
    (a) Market prices of tomatoes, including prices by grades, sizes, 
and quality in different packs, and such prices by foreign competing 
areas;
    (b) Supply of tomatoes, by grade, size, and quality in the 
production area, and in other production areas, including foreign 
competing production areas;
    (c) Trend and level of consumer income;
    (d) Marketing conditions affecting tomato prices; and
    (e) Other relevant factors.
