PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE COMPLETING THE QUESTIONNAIRE ON THE BACK OF THIS PAGE.
Variety	The nine raisin varieties identified below are to be reported separately in the spaces provided. These varieties are those used by the Raisin Administrative Committee. Reserve Tonnage - Raisins purchased from the Raisin Administrative Committee are NOT to be included in this report. Only free tonnage raisins are to be included in this report.
SECTION I
Column 1	Total Free Tonnage Produced by Handler: For the 2016 crop, report the total free tons produced by you, the handler. DO NOT include raisins purchased from other handlers or other processors. If a dehydrator operator grew or purchased fresh grapes and dehydrated them, he/she is considered the producer of raisins. lf he/she carries out the functions of a handler as defined by the Raisin Administrative Committee, he/she will also be considered the handler. * If a separate legal entity owned by the handler was responsible for the natural or dehydrator produced raisins, the handler is not the producer of raisins. In this case, report tonnage under column (2) - Quantity Purchased From Producers; the separate legal entity is considered the producer. Reporting in this manner, assumes that a market price was established for the raisins produced by the separate legal entity.
SECTION II, FINALIZED PURCHASES
Column 2	Free Tonnage Purchased from Producers: Report the total tons, purchased from producers, for which all pricing is finalized. DO NOT include raisins produced by you, the handler; purchased from other handlers; or tonnage for which pricing is not finalized.
Column 3	Final Weighted Average Price (including Bonuses and Allowances) In column (3), report the final weighted average price of all raisins purchased. Report the price separately by variety, rounded to the nearest dollar per ton. Be sure to include all Bonuses and Allowances. For the prices to be considered finalized, all payments should have been paid to the producers for the 2016 crop by August 31, 2017.

SECTION III, NON FINALIZED PURCHASES
Column 4	Free Tonnage Purchased from Producers: Report the total tons, purchased from producers, for which all pricing is NOT finalized. This covers all tonnage purchased from producers not reported in column (2). DO NOT include raisins produced by you (the handler) or purchased from other handlers.
Column 5	Estimated Final Weighted Average Price (including Bonuses and Allowances): Report your "good faith" estimate of the weighted average price for all raisins purchased in column (4). Report the price separately by variety rounded to the nearest dollar per ton. Be sure to include all Bonuses and Allowances. If not all payments have been sent to the producers for the 2016 crop by August 31, 2017, report these purchases as non-finalized.
