1. Recertification of the certified class may be permitted for older varieties of crops if foundation seed is not being maintained.
2. The production of an additional generation of the certified class may only be permitted on a 1-year basis when an emergency is declared by the certifying agency, stating that the supply of foundation and registered seed is not adequate to plant the needed certified acreage of the variety. The permission of the originating or sponsoring breeder or owner of the variety, if existent, must be obtained. The additional generation of certified seed to meet the emergency need is ineligible for recertification.
