613.1 Administration. This pro gram shall be carried out by the appro priate branches or Commodity offices of PMA under the general direction and supervision of the. Manager of CCC.
613.2 Type and availability of pro gram. a Prices will be supported through purchases of dried eggs, frozen eggs, and shell eggs made directly by CCC on the basis of offers submitted to it, subject to the ternjs ahd conditions of purchase announcements issued by, and copies of which may be obtained from, the Poultry Branch, Production and Marketing Administration, U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, Washington 25, D; C. Initially, purchases of dried eggs will be made to remove from commercial channels eggs produced in the Midwest
region where it is expected the surplus will develop. In the event dried egg pur chases are not adequate to maintain the desired-price level, frozen eggs will also be purchased.
b Purchases of shell eggs will be made initially only in areas not served by driers or egg freezers, if it appears that prices to producers in these areas do not and will not maintain their proper relationship to the national average, thus lowering the U. S. average price to a level below 90 percent of parity. Shell eggs will be purchased in the Midwest only if drying and freezing facilities are not adequate to remove the surplus in that area.
c Purchases will be made to the ex tent required to provide a national an nual average price of 90 percent of parity for the calendar year 1949. Purchases may be made at any place in the conti nental United States, in such quantities and at such times during the period Jan uary 1, 1949, to December 31, 1949, as is deemed necessary to accomplish the pur pose of the program.
