                    Subpart_Order Regulating Handling
 
Sec.  987.44  Free and restricted percentages.

    (a) Whenever the Committee finds that the available supply of 
marketable dates of applicable grade and size available to supply the 
trade demand for free dates of any variety is likely to be excessive, 
and that limiting the volume of marketable dates to be handled as free 
dates through establishment of free and restricted percentages 
applicable to such variety of such dates would tend to effectuate the 
declared policy of the act, it shall recommend such percentages to the 
Secretary. If the Secretary finds, upon the basis of the Committee's 
recommendation and supporting data or other information available to 
him, that the establishment of such percentages would tend to effectuate 
the declared policy of the act, he shall establish such percentages. The 
sum of the free and restricted percentages for any crop year shall equal 
100 percent.
    (b) The dates handled by any handler in accordance with the 
provisions hereof shall be determined to be that handler's quota fixed 
by the Secretary within the meaning of section 8a(5) of the act.
