(a) The Secretary is authorized to take such action as he
determines to be necessary to facilitate the transition from the
program currently in effect to the program provided for in this
part. Notwithstanding any other provision of this part, such
authority shall include, but shall not be limited to, the authority
to exempt all or a portion of the wheat or food products made
therefrom in the channels of trade on the effective date of the
program under this part from the marketing restrictions in
subsection (b) of section 1379d of this title, or to sell
certificates to persons owning such wheat or food products at such
prices as the Secretary may determine. Any such certificate shall
be issued by Commodity Credit Corporation.
(b) Whenever the face value per bushel of domestic marketing
certificates for a marketing year is substantially different from
the face value of domestic marketing certificates for the preceding
marketing year, the Secretary is authorized to take such action as
he determines necessary to facilitate the transition between
marketing years. Notwithstanding any other provision of this part,
such authority shall include, but shall not be limited to, the
authority to sell certificates to persons engaged in the processing
of wheat into food products covering such quantities of wheat, at
such prices, and under such terms and conditions as the Secretary
may by regulation provide. Any such certificate shall be issued by
Commodity Credit Corporation.
(c) The Secretary is authorized to take such action as he
determines to be necessary to facilitate the transition from the
certificate program provided for under section 1379d of this title
to a program under which no certificates are required.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, such authority shall
include, but shall not be limited to the authority to exempt all or
a portion of wheat or food products made therefrom in the channels
of trade on July 1, 1973, from the marketing restrictions in
subsection (b) of section 1379d of this title, or to sell
certificates to persons owning such wheat or food products made
therefrom at such price and under such terms and conditions as the
Secretary may determine. Any such certificate shall be issued by
the Commodity Credit Corporation. Nothing herein shall authorize
the Secretary to require certificates on wheat processed after June
30, 1973.
