Summary

An order can let the Board, if the Secretary agrees, do several optional things to run lime programs. It can allow the Board to exempt exported U.S. limes under safeguards; set different payment and reporting schedules for handlers; create working groups from producers, handlers, importers, exporters, or the public to help with research and marketing; build a reserve from assessments up to one year’s operating budget; use assessment funds, with approval, to boost foreign sales; and add other rules that match the chapter and are needed to make the order work.
