ime^acreage aiiot-
to be allotted to new farms under subsection (f) of this section, shall mraits.
be apportioned among the States on the basis of the larger of the
''*'^"
following for each State: (a) The acreage allotted to the State as
its share of the 1950 national acreage allotment of two million one
hundred thousand acres, or (b) the State's share of two million one
hundred thousand acres apportioned to States on the basis of the
average acreage harvested for nuts in each State in the five years
1945-1949: Provided, That any allotment so determined for any State
which is less than the 1951 State allotment announced by the Secretary
prior to the enactment of this Act shall be increased to such announced
allotment and the acreage required for such increases shall be in addi-
tion to the 1951 national acreage allotment and shall be considered in
determining State acreage allotments in future years. For any year
subsequent to 1951, the national acreage allotment for that year, less
the acreage to be allotted to new farms under subsection (f) of this
section, shall be apportioned among the States on the basis of their
share of the national acreage allotment for the most recent year in
which such apportionment was made.
"(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the Secretary
of Agriculture determines, on the basis of the average yield per acre
of peanuts by types during the preceding five years, adjusted for trends
in yields and abnormal conditions of production affecting yields in
such five years, that the supply of any type or types of peanuts for any
marketing year, beginning with the 1951-1952 marketing year, will
be insufficient to meet the estimated demand for cleaning and shelling
purposes at prices at which the Commodity Credit Corporation may
sell for such purposes peanuts owned or controlled by it, the State
allotments for those States producing such type or types of peanuts
shall be increased to the extent determined by the Secretary to be
required to meet such demand but the allotment for any State may
not be increased under this provision above the 1947 harvested acreage
of peanuts for such State. The total increase so determined shall be
apportioned among such States for distribution among farms produc-
ing peanuts of such type or types on the basis of the average acreage
of peanuts of such type or types in the tliree years immediately pre-
ceding the year for which the allotments are being determined. The
additional acreage so required shall be in addition to the national
acreage allotment, the production from such acreage shall be in addi-
tion to the national marketing quota, and the increase in acreage
allotted under this provision shall not be considered in establishing
future State, county, or farm acreage allotments."

duced in any one of the three calendar years immediately preceding
the year for which such apportionment is made, on the basis of the
following: Past acreage of peanuts, taking into consideration the
acreage allotments previously established for the farm; abnormal
conditions affecting acreage; land, labor, and equipment available
for the production of peanuts; crop-rotation practices; and soil and
other physical factors affecting the production of peanuts."
3. Add new subsections (e), (f), (g), and (h) as follows:
"(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the
Secretary may, if the State committee recommends such action and
the Secretary determines that such action will facilitate the effective
administration of the provisions of the Act, provide for the appor-
tionment of the State acreage allotment for 1952 and any subsequent
year among the counties in the State on the basis of the past acreage
of peanuts harvested for nuts (excluding acreage in excess of farm
allotments) in the county during the five years immediately preceding
the year in which such apportionment is made, with such adjust-
ments as are deemed necessary for abnormal conditions affecting
acreage, for trends in acreage, and for additional allotments for types
of peanuts in short supply under the provisions of subsection (c).
The county acreage allotment shall be apportioned among farms on
the basis of the factors set forth in subsection (d) of this section.
"(f) Not more than one per centum of the national acreage allot-
ment shall be apportioned among farms on which peanuts are to be
produced during the calendar year for which the allotment is made
but on which peanuts were not produced during any one of the past
three years, on the basis of the following: Past peanut-producing
experience by the producers; land, labor, and equipment available
for the production of peanuts; crop-rotation practices; and soil and
other physieal factors affecting the production of peanuts.
"(g) Any part of the acreage allotted to individual farms under
the provisions of this section on which peanuts will not be produced
and which is voluntarily surrendered to the county committee shall
be deducted from the allotments to such farms and may be reappor-
tioned by the county committee to other farms in the same county
receiving allotments, in amounts determined by the county committee
to be fair and reasonable on the basis of land, labor, and equipment
available for the production of peanuts, crop-rotation practices, and
soil and other physical factors affecting the production of peanuts.
Any transfer of allotments under this provision shall not operate
to reduce the allotment for any subsequent year for the farm from
which acreage is transferred, except as the farm becomes ineligible
for an allotment by failure to produce peanuts during a three-year
period, and any such transfer shall not operate to increase the allot-
ment for any subsequent year for the farm to which the acreage is
transferred: Provided,
That, notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Act, any part of any farm acreage allotment may be perma-
nently released in writing to the county committee by the owner and
operator of the farm, and reapportioned as provided herein.
" (h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the allot-
ment determined or which would have been determined for any
land which is removed from agricultural production in 1950 or any
subsequent year for any purpose because of acquisition by any Fed-
eral, State, or other agency having a right of eminent domain shall
be placed in a pool and shall be available for use in providing equita-

such acquisition of the farm, any owner so displaced shall be entitled
to have an allotment for any other farm owned or acquired by him
equal to an allotment which would have been determined for such
other farm plus the allotment which would have been determined
for the farm so acquired: Provided^ That such allotment shall not
exceed 50 per centum of the acreage of cropland on the farm.
"The provisions of this section shall not be applicable if (a) there is
any marketing quota penalty due with respect to the marketing of
peanuts from the farm acquired by the Federal, State, or other agency
or by the owner of the farm; (b) any peanuts produced on such farm
have not been accounted for as required by the Secretary; or (c) the
allotment next established for the farm acquired by the Federal, State,
or other agency would have been reduced because of false or improper
identification of peanuts produced on or marketed from such farm."
SEO. 2. Section 359 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938,
as amended, is amended as follows:
1. Subsection (a) is amended by adding at the end thereof a new
sentence as follows: "Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
title, no refund of any penalty shall be made because of peanuts kept
on the farm for seed or for home consumption."

appears in the proviso, the following words: "for the 1950 crop", and
(3) by inserting the following new sentences after the fifth sentence:
"As an alternative to designated agencies paying the prevailing dil
value for such excess peanuts of any type in insufficient supply and
the subsequent distribution of sales proceeds therefrom in accordance
with the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the Secretary may
also authorize peanut buyers approved pursuant to regulations of the
Secretary to purchase such peanuts from producers at prices not less
than those at which such peanuts may be sold for cleaning and shelling
by the Commodity Credit Corporation.
In the event of such author-
ization by the Secretary, producers shall have the option of either
delivering such peanuts to designated agencies or selling such peanuts
to approved peanut buyers, and such sales to approved buyers shall
have the same effect, with respect to avoidance of the marketing
penalty and classification of producers as cooperators, as deliveries
to designated agencies."
SEC. 3. The first sentence of section 363 of the Agricultural Adjust-
ment Act of 1938, as amended, is amended to read as follows: "Any Sup.'i'vr'§§l363 note;

which is less than the 1951 State allotment announced by the Secretary
prior to the enactment of this Act shall be increased to such announced
allotment and the acreage required for such increases shall be in addi-

of peanuts of such type or types in the tliree years immediately pre-
ceding the year for which the allotments are being determined. The
additional acreage so required shall be in addition to the national

such Department thirty days or more after the date of the enactment
of this Act, and the Secretary of each Department designated by the
President under section 103 (a) shall insert in each contract made
by such Department thirty days or more after the date of such
designation, a provision under which the contractor agrees—

United States, as the Secretary may direct, any amounts which
under section 105 (b) (1) (C) the contractor is directed to with-
hold from a subcontractor and which are actually unpaid at the
time the contractor receives such direction.
The obligations assumed by the contractor or subcontractor under
paragraph (1) or (3) (A), as the case may be, agreeing to the
elimination of excessive profits through renegotiation shall be binding
on him only if the contract or subcontract, as the case may be, is subject
to this title. A provision inserted in a contract or subcontract, which
recites in substance that the contract or subcontract shall be deemed
to contain all the provisions required by this section shall be sufficient
compliance with this section. Whether or not the provisions specified
in this section are inserted in a contract with a Department or sub-
contract, to which this title is applicable, such contract or subcontract,
as the case may be, shall be considered as having been made subject to
this title in the same manner and to the same extent as if such provisions
had been inserted.
SEC. 105. RENEGOTIATION PROCEEDINGS.
(a) PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE BOARD.—Renegotiation proceedings
shall be commenced by the mailing of notice to that effect, in such
form as may be prescribed by regulation, by registered mail to the
contractor or subcontractor. The Board shall endeavor to make an
agreement with the contractor or subcontractor with respect to the
elimination of excessive profits received or accrued, and with respect
to such other matters relating thereto as the Board deems advisable.
Any such agreement, if made, may, with the consent of the contractor
or subcontractor, also include provisions with respect to the elimination
of excessive profits likely to be received or accrued.
If the Board
does not make an agreement with respect to the elimination of exces-
sive profits received or accrued, it shall issue and enter an order
determining the amount, if any, of such excessive profits, and forth-
with give notice thereof by registered mail to the contractor or sub-
contractor. In the absence of the filing of a petition with The Tax
Court of the United States under the provisions of and within the
time limit prescribed in section 108, such order shall be final and
conclusive and shall not be subject to review or redetermination by
any court or other agency. The Board shall exercise its powers with
respect to the aggregate of the amounts received or accrued during
the fiscal year (or such other period as may be fixed by mutual agree-
ment) by a contractor or subcontractor under contracts with the
Departments and subcontracts, and not separately with respect to
amounts received or accrued under separate contracts with the Depart-
ments or subcontracts, except that the Board may exercise such powers
separately with respect to amounts received or accrued by the con-
tractor or subcontractor under any one or more separate contracts with
the Departments or subcontracts at the request of the contractor or
subcontractor. By agreement with any contractor or subcontractor,
and pursuant to regulations promulgated by it, the Board may in its
discretion conduct renegotiation on a consolidated basis in order prop-
erly to reflect excessive profits of two or more related contractors or
subcontractors.
Renegotiation shall be conducted on a consolidated

ever the Board makes a determination with respect to the amount of
excessive profits, and such determination is made by order, it shall, at
the request of the contractor or subcontractor, as the case may be,
prepare and furnish such contractor or subcontractor with a statement
of such determination, of the facts used as a basis therefojr, and of its
reasons for such determination. Such statement shall not be used in
The Tax Court of the United States as proof of the facts or conclusions
stated therein.
(b) METHOI>S OF ELIMINATING EXCESSIVE PRorrrs.—
(1) I N GENERAL.—^Upon the making of an agreement, or the
entry of an order, under subsection (a) of this section by the
„
Board, or the entry of an order under section 108 by The Tax
*'*'^'
Court of the United States, determining excessive profits, the
Board shall forthwith authorize and direct the Secretaries or
any of them to eliminate such excessive profits—
(A) by reductions in the amounts otherwise payable to
the contractor under contracts with the Departments, or by
other revision of their terms;
(B) by withholding from amounts otherwise due to the
contractor any amount of such excessive profits;
(C) by directing any person having a contract with any
agency of the Grovernment, or any subcontractor thereunder,
to withhold for the account of the United States from any
amounts otherwise due from such person or such subcon-
tractor to a contractor, or subcontractor, having excessive
profits to be eliminated, and every such person or subcon-
tractor receiving such direction shall withhold and pay over
to the United States the amounts so required to be withheld;
(D) by recovery from the contractor or subcontractor, or
from any person or subcontractor directed under subpara-
graph (C) to withhold for the account of the United States,
through pay^ment, repayment, credit, or suit any amount of
such excessive profits realized by the contractor or subcon-
tractor or directed under subparagraph (C) to be withheld
for the account of the United States; or
(E) by any combination of these methods, as is deemed
desirable.
(2) INTEREST.—^Interest at the rate of 4 per centum per annum
shall accrue and be paid on the amount of such excessive profits
from the thirtieth day after the date of the order of the Board
or from the date fixed for repayment by the agreement with the
contractor or subcontractor to the date of repayment, and on
amounts required to be withheld by any person or subcontractor
for the account of the United States pursuant to paragraph (1)
(C), from the dat« payment is demanded by the Secretaries or
any of them to the date of payment. When The Tax Court of the

the Tax Court is greater than the amount determijied by the
Board, interest shall accrue and be paid on the amount
determined by the Board from the thirtieth day aftei* the

in addition thereto, interest shall accrue and be paid on the

(2) SUBCONTRACTS DESCRIBED I N SECTION IO3 (g) (3).—^If the
aggregate of the amounts received or accrued during a fiscal year
(and on or after the applicable effective date specified in section
Arue,p.7.
102 (a)) by a subcontractor, and all persons under control of or
controlling or under common control with the subcontractor, under

all amounts received or accrued by a contractor or subcontractor
from all persons under control of or controlling or under common
control with the contractor or subcontractor and all amounts
received or accrued by each such person from such contractor or

If the fiscal year
is a fractional part of twelve months, the $250,000 amount and the
$25,000 amount shall be reduced to the same fractional part
thereof for the purposes of paragraphs (1) and (2). In the case
of a fiscal year beginning in 1950 and ending in 1951, the $250,000
amount and the $25,000 amount shall be reduced to an amount
which bears the same ratio to $250,000 or $25,000, as the case may
be, as the number of days in such fiscal year after December 31,
1950, bears to 365, but this sentence shall have no application if
the contractor or subcontractor has made an a^eement with the
Board pursuant to section 102 (c) for the application of the pro-
visions of this title to receipts or accruals prior to January 1,1951,

whether or not a contractor or subcontractor has received or accrued
excessive profits that portion of the profits, derived from receipts and
accruals subject to the provisions of this title, attributable to the
"Exoessinventory." increment in value of the excess inventory.
For the purposes of this
subsection the term "excess inventory" means inventory of products,

the inventory reasonably necessary to fulfill existing contracts or
orders. That portion of the profits, derived from receipts and
accruals subject to the provisions of this title, attributable to the
increment in value of the excess inventory, and the method of exclud-
ing such portion of profits from consideration in determining whether
or not the contractor or subcontractor has received or accrued exces-

Government under a contract with a department, or of an
article incorporated therein, and which has an average useful
life of more than five years; and

equipment" does not include subcontracts where the purchaser
of such durable productive equipment has acquired such
equipment for the account of the Government, but includes
pool orders and siiriilar commitments placed in the first
instance by a Department or other agency of the Government
when title to the equipment is transferred on delivery thereof
or within one year thereafter to a contractor or subcontractor.

subcontract or in the case of such group of subcontracts to deter-
mine and segregate the profits attributable to such subcontract or
group of subcontracts from the profits attributable to activities
not subject to renegotiation.
The Board may so exempt contracts and subcontracts both individually
