Sec. 1359gg. Special rules


(a) Transfer of acreage base history

    For the purpose of establishing proportionate shares for sugarcane 
farms under section 1359ff of this title, the Secretary, on application 
of any producer, with the written consent of all owners of a farm, may 
transfer the acreage base history of the farm to any other parcels of 
land of the applicant.

(b) Preservation of acreage base history

    If for reasons beyond the control of a producer on a farm, the 
producer is unable to harvest an acreage of sugarcane for sugar or seed 
with respect to all or a portion of the proportionate share established 
for the farm under section 1359ff of this title, the Secretary, on the 
application of the producer and with the written consent of all owners 
of the farm, may preserve for a period of not more than 3 consecutive 
years the acreage base history of the farm to the extent of the 
proportionate share involved. The Secretary may permit the proportionate 
share to be redistributed to other farms, but no acreage base history 
for purposes of establishing acreage bases shall accrue to the other 
farms by virtue of the redistribution of the proportionate share.

(c) Revisions of allocations and proportionate shares

    The Secretary, after such notice as the Secretary by regulation may 
prescribe, may revise or amend any allocation of a marketing allotment 
under section 1359dd of this title, or any proportionate share 
established for a farm under section 1359ff of this title, on the same 
basis as the initial allocation or proportionate share was required to 
be established.
