  CHAPTER IX--AGRICULTURAL MARKETING SERVICE (Marketing Agreements and

PART 987_DOMESTIC DATES PRODUCED OR PACKED IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY, 
 
                    Subpart_Order Regulating Handling
 
Sec.  987.55  Outlets for restricted dates.

    Restricted dates may be disposed of only through exportation to such 
countries as the Committee may approve or by diversion in product 
outlets described in Sec.  987.43 which the Committee concludes to be 
appropriate and which will result in dates moving into consumption in a 
form other than that of whole or pitted dates. To facilitate sales and 
promote orderly marketing of any variety of restricted dates handled in 
export, the Committee may participate in or negotiate for handlers, the 
sale of such dates to meet all or a substantial part of the needs of the 
particular country, and, in connection with each such sale, the 
Committee shall extend to all handlers an opportunity to participate 
therein and shall distribute the returns therefrom to participating 
handlers according to their respective contributions of dates. The 
Committee, with the approval of the Secretary, may prescribe rules and 
regulations governing the opportunity to participate in such sales. The 
provisions of this section shall not preclude restricted dates being 
disposed of in outlets for utility and cull dates prescribed in Sec.  
987.56.
