6.1 Basis and purpose. Section 22
of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended by the act of June 28, 1950, 64 Stat. 261, and the act of June 16, 1951 Pub. Law No. 50 82d Cong., hereinafter referred to as section 22, requires the Secretary of Agriculture hereinafter referred to as the Secre tary , to advise the President whenever he has reason to believe that any articles are being, or are practically certain to be, imported into the United States under such conditions and in quantities as to tend to render ineffective or ma terially interfere with any program undertaken by the Department of Agri culture, or any agency operating under its direction, or to reduce substantially the amount of any product processed in the United States from any agricultural commodity or product thereof with re spect to which such a program is being undertaken. If the President agrees that there is reason for such belief, the President is directed to cause an im mediate investigation to be made by the United States Tariff Commission. Ex ecutive Order No. 7233, issued November 23, 1935, among other things, provides that the Secretary may have represent atives at hearings held by the United States Tariff Commission, who shall have the privilege of examining witnesses. It is the purpose of this regulation to pre scribe the policies and procedures of the Department of Agriculture in imple mentation of section 22 and Executive Order No. 72S3.

6.2 Responsibility for actions under section 22. The primary responsibility within the Department of Agriculture for action on matters for which the Secre tary is responsible under section 22 is as signed to the Administrator, Production and Marketing Administration herein after referred to as the Administra tor, but the Office of Foreign Agricul tural Relations, and other offices, agencies, and bureaus of the Department whose activities will be affected by any action under section 22, shall be con sulted by the Administrator in discharg ing his responsibility hereunder.
6.3 Requests by interested persons.
Requests for action under section 22
should be submitted, in duplicate, to the Administrator, Production and Market ing Administration, United States De partment of Agriculture, Washington 25, D. C. Such requests shall include a statement of the reasons why action would be warranted under section 22 and such supporting information and data as are available to the person making the request.
6.4 Investigations. The Adminis trator shall cause an investigation to be made whenever, based upon requests by interested persons submitted pursuant to 6.3 or upon other information available to him, he determines that there is rea sonable ground to believe that the impo sition of import quotas or fees under section 22 may be warranted, or that the termination or modification of import quotas or fees in effect under section 22
may be warranted.
6.5 Hearings. The Administrator is authorized to provide for such hear ings, in Washington, D. C., or elsewhere, as he determines are necessary to dis charge the responsibility vested in him by 6.2 and 6.4. Such hearings shall be conducted by representatives desig nated for the purpose by the Administra tor; shall be preceded by such public notice as, in the opinion of the Admin istrator, will afford interested persons a reasonable opportunity to attend and present information ; and minutes of the proceedings at such hearings shall be ob tained.
