INSTRUCTIONS FOR Al\ffiNDMENT TO APPLICATION TO PRUNE PLUM DIVERSION
INDEPENDENT PRODUCER AND SUNSWEET PRODUCERS

The purpose of the amendment is to allow applicants to increase the diversion tonnage
they have applied for. Two conditions must be met before an amendment can be submitted.
1. The applicant must have an approved application on file with PMC.
2.

The diversion tonnage goal of
(approximately

tons dry weight equivalent
green) must not have been attained.

Amendments will only be available through the PMC Field Offices and
PMC/Sacramento.
I f an applicant requests an amendment to his prune plum diversion application, the PMC
Field Office secretary, prior to providing the applicant with an amendment form, should pull the
applicant's original application trom the PMC Field Office Master File. From the original
application the PMC Field Office secretary should insert on the Amendment form the following
information:
Line 1 - name of producer; line 2 - application number on Form PMC IO.IA or IO.IB,
line 6- maximum green tons applied for, harvested, unharvested, and total; and lOa. - the
original diversion deposit.
The PMC County secretary should then give the applicant the Amendment form so that
the applicant can complete the rest of the information on the amendment. Independent
applicants should be instructed to submit the Amendment directly to PMC/Sacramento with a
check enclosed covering both deposit fee and service charge. Fro Sunsweet producers the
applicant should be requested to submit his Amendment directly to Sunsweet Growers, Inc. The
amendment deposit fee and service charge applies, regardless of the amount of tonnage applied
for by the applicant on his original application.
If the PMC County Field Office does not have an approved copy of the applicant's
original application the PMC County Field Office secretary should call PMC/Sacramento to
obtain verification that the applicant's original application has been accepted and to obtain the
information which she is to enter on the amendment.
The ''For PMC Use Only" blocks will be filled in by PMC/Sacramento.
An example of the procedures which the applicant should follow in correctly filling out
the amendment is as follows:
If the applicant originally applied for 15 tons of the harvested diversion the PMC Field
Office secretary should enter on line 6, of the Amendment in the "original Application (was)"
section, under the harvested column 15 tons, under the unharvested column 0, and under the total
column 15 tons. If the applicant wishes to increase his diversion tonnage by 18 tons harvested,

line 6 under the "Amended Application (should be)" section the following: Harvested diversion
33 tons (15 plus 18), unharvested 0, total 33 tons. The applicant should fill in the correct county
(ies) of production and variety(ies) of production and location of diversion, if the location of the
diversion has changed. The PMC Field Office secretary should fill in the original deposit at
$100. The service charge and amend application deposit are figured only on the increased
tonnage applied for. In this example, the increased tonnage is 18 tons. The increase tonnage
would be entered on the "increased tonnage" line in 10(b) and 10(c). The increased tonnage
times $1.00 equals the service charge, in this example $18.00. The increased tonnage times
$3.50 equals the increased application fee, in this example $63.00 (18 x $3.50). The total
additional amount to be remitted (line 1O(d) is the sum of the service charge plus the increased
deposit fee, in this example $18.00 + $63.00 = $81.00. This is the additional depo~it amount,
which the applicant should submit at the time he submits his amendment to his application.
Applicants should be advised that merely submitting an Amendment to the Application for Prune
Plum Diversion does not, I repeat, does not automatically guarantee that the increase will be
granted. Whether or not the increase is granted will depend on whether the total green diversion
tonnage has been applied for.
