INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORM RAC-30

One copy of this report shall be submitted to the RAC not later than Wednesday by 10:00 a.m. and as of the close of business on each preceding Saturday. It shall cover only off-grade raisins received by the handler for reconditioning. The reports shall be numbered consecutively in each crop year and certified by a responsible official of the reporting handler.

This is a summary of all raisins held for reconditioning for reasons except active infestation only and should not include off-grade raisins that you are not going to recondition again and are holding for disposition in non-normal outlets. The information you submit is incorporated into the Report of Deliveries to Handlers furnished to you weekly and the accuracy of these statistics depends upon the accuracy of the data provided by you. Data on Natural Seedless raisins are divided into mold, moisture, infestation (micro), maturity, sand and other categories. You should list the weights, in pounds, by the most serious defect. For example: mold and infestation shall be shown under infestation, and mold and sand under mold. The Other column is for defects such as mechanical damage, barbule, pods, etc., which are not otherwise listed under a more serious defect. Only the total off-grade of varieties other than Natural Seedless is needed. It is not necessary to list separately the defects in these varieties.

This report is required by law (7 U.S.C. 608d, 7 CFR 989.173(b)(5)). 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.
