(b) Voluntary regulation of production by each compacting state within its own borders in accordance with said determination of the joint fact-finding agency, to the extent that and in such manner as the laws of each state may authorize.

(c) Formulation by the joint agency of uniform conservation measures and tax laws which it shall recommend to the compacting states and exercise by said agency of such incidental powers as may be agreed upon.
