in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

With Board recommendation and Secretary approval, the kiwifruit order can include optional extra rules: different payment schedules for different handlers, working groups of industry members, a capped reserve fund for lean years, and using assessment money to promote kiwifruit sales in foreign markets.

(a) Permissive terms. With the Board's recommendation and the Secretary's approval, the order may include the terms in this section, plus any other terms the Secretary thinks are needed to help carry out the order, as long as they don't conflict with this part of the law. (b) Alternative payment and reporting schedules. The order can let the Board set different payment and reporting schedules for different handlers, to reflect differences in how they do business. (c) Working groups. The order can let the Board bring together producers, handlers, importers, exporters, or members of the public in working groups, using their expertise to help build research and marketing programs. (d) Reserve funds. The order can let the Board build up a reserve fund from assessments, so research, promotion, and consumer information can keep going steadily even in years when production and assessment income drop — but the reserve can never be bigger than one year's budget. (e) Promotion activities outside United States. The order can let the Board use assessment money (with the Secretary's approval), plus money from other sources, to develop and grow foreign markets for U.S.-grown kiwifruit.

On the recommendation of the Board and with the approval of the Secretary, an order issued under section 7463 of this title may include the terms and conditions specified in this section and such additional terms and conditions as the Secretary considers necessary to effectuate the other provisions of the order and are incidental to, and not inconsistent with, this subchapter.

The order may authorize the Board to designate different handler payment and reporting schedules to recognize differences in marketing practices and procedures.

(d) Reserve funds

The order may authorize the Board to accumulate reserve funds from assessments collected pursuant to section 7465(b) of this title to permit an effective and continuous coordinated program of research, promotion, and consumer information in years in which production and assessment income may be reduced, except that any reserve fund may not exceed the amount budgeted for operation of this subchapter for 1 year.

(e) Promotion activities outside United States

The order may authorize the Board to use, with the approval of the Secretary, funds collected under section 7465(b) of this title and funds from other sources for the development and expansion of sales in foreign markets of kiwifruit produced in the United States.
