Sec.  981.48  Increase of salable percentage.

    Upon request filed prior to May 15 by the Board or, if the Board 
should fail to request, by two or more handlers who have handled at 
least 15 percent of all almonds handled in the preceding crop year, and 
after findings of fact (based upon a revision of the estimates required 
under Sec.  981.49 and other pertinent information) that the quantity of 
salable almonds is not sufficient to satisfy trade demand and desirable 
carryover requirements for the crop year, the Secretary may increase the 
salable percentage. Such findings shall be made in the manner specified 
in Sec.  981.47.
