RAC-35 RAC--Application for Sale, Shipment or Disposition of Ra

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM RAC-35

The Rules and Regulations promulgated pursuant to Marketing Order No. 989, require,
except for specific exemptions stated in the Rules, the filing and approval of an
application before the handler ships or otherwise disposes of off-grade raisins, other
failing raisins and raisin residual material for use within the continental United States,
other than Alaska, and in eligible non-normal outlets. Non-normal outlets include the
sale or processing for stock feed, distillation or in any other outlet than those
customarily used for the commercial disposition of raisins meeting the then applicable
grade and condition standards for natural condition or packed raisins.
If the name and address of the user or consignee, or the use to be made of the raisins
or residuals is not known to the handler, the handler shall arrange for the submission of
such information to the Committee by the buyer. The Committee will not approve the
application until this information has been furnished to it, or if any other information
called for herein is lacking. The basis for approving or disapproving the application or
revoking previously approved applications are set out in the Rules and Regulations, as
amended.
The handler shall submit to the Committee, on every sale or shipment, within twenty
(20) days (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) after such shipment, a
certified invoice showing the quantity, type of container, destination specified in the
handler's approved application.
This application shall be accompanied by the handler's sales contract with the buyer.
The sales contract shall contain provisions relating to the disposition of the raisins or
raisin material, the submission of documents and the maintenance and examination of
records as set out in the Rules and Regulations. This may be accomplished by
attaching a signed copy of Raisin and Raisin Residual Sales Provisions (RAC-36) or
incorporating substantially the same provisions in the contract.
In the event raisins or raisin residual material covered by an approved application
should be shipped to points outside the continental United States or to Alaska, or
disposed of in other than eligible non-normal outlets by any person, it will cause serious
and substantial damage to the Committee and to the producers and handlers of raisins
and it will be difficult, if not impossible, to prove the extent of such damage and,
therefore, the handler shall pay to the Committee the sum an amount equal to the
established field price as liquidated damages for each ton so shipped or disposed of,
such sum being a fair measure of damages and not a penalty.

This report is required by law (7 u.S.C 608(11),7 CF.R. 989.159(g)(2». Failure to report can result in afine of$1,100for
each such violation and each doy during which such violation continues shaH be deemed a separate violation.
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
