INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM RAC-50

On the top half of the form, report in pounds all inventory of natural condition free tonnage raisins on hand as of the requested date by location and variety.

1. Review your purchases and sales of free tonnage raisins with other handlers and ensure an inter-handler transfer (form RAC-6) was filed with the RAC. If an RAC-6 was not filed, the transferring handler’s inventory will appear to be understated and the receiving packer’s inventory will appear to be overstated.

2. Do not report as free tonnage:

1. Reserve tonnage you are holding on behalf of another handler or reserve tonnage another handler is holding on your behalf.

2. Any reserve tonnage as free tonnage; you may feel you have qualified for a release of reserve tonnage, but do not report it as free tonnage unless you have a signed release in hand.

On the bottom half of the form, report processed raisins held locally and those held in other warehouses by location and variety.

1. Do not report:

1. Warehoused raisins already reported as shipments on the RAC-20.

2. Packed raisins purchased from a broker. You will not report these as a shipment for RAC-20 purposes as another packer has already done so.

2. Check your shipment reports.

1. Ensure raisins processed and shipped by you for another packer were not reported by you as a shipment.

2. Ensure your shipment reports have been appropriately adjusted for packed raisins purchased from a broker. These have already been reported by another packer as a shipment.

This report is required by law (7 U.S.C. 608d, 7 CFR 989.173(a)(1)). Failure to report can result in a fine of $1,100 for each such violation, and each day during which such violation continues shall be deemed a separate violation.
