Upon complying with the requirements of § 925.50 the committee may recommend regulations to the Secretary whenever the committee deems that such regulations as are provided in § 925.52 will tend to effectuate the declared policy of the act.

(a) In the event the committee at any time finds that, by reason of changed conditions, any regulations issued pursuant to § 925.52 should be modified, suspended, or terminated, it shall so recommend to the Secretary.

(a) Regulations in effect pursuant to § 925.41, § 925.52, or § 925.55 may be modified, suspended, or terminated to facilitate handling of grapes for purposes which may be recommended by the committee and approved by the Secretary.

(a) Whenever the handling of any variety of grapes is regulated pursuant to § 925.52, each handler who handles grapes shall, prior thereto, cause such grapes to be inspected by the Federal or Federal-State Inspection Service and certified as meeting the applicable requirements of such regulation: Provided, That inspection and certification shall not be required for grapes which previously have been so inspected and certified if such prior inspection was performed within such period as may be established pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section. Promptly after the inspection and certification each such handler shall submit, or cause to be submitted, to the committee a copy of the certificate of inspection issued with respect to such grapes.

Handle is synonymous with ship and means to pack, sell, deliver (including delivery to a storage facility), transport, or in any way to place grapes in the current of commerce within the production area or between the production area and any point outside thereof: Provided, That such term shall not include the sale of grapes on the vine and except when regulations are effective pursuant to § 925.52(a)(5) shall not include the transportation or delivery of grapes to a packinghouse within the production area for preparation for market.

Pack means the specific arrangement, weight, grade or size, including the uniformity thereof, of the grapes within a container: Provided, That when used in or with respect to § 925.52(a)(5) such term shall mean to place grapes into containers for shipment to market as fresh grapes.
