The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0535-0039. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 15 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

INSTRUCTIONS: The following questions pertain to losses that you identified after the nuts were delivered to your plant for processing. In other words, all the spoilage delivered to your plant from your own production and from purchases you made. If you do not grow any macadamia nuts, please report spoilage from the purchases you made. If your plant does not keep records of the breakdown as it is asked for in the categories below, it will still be useful if you would report what is available or make your best estimate. There is an example on the back to show how to base your calculation.

1. If sampling is the method you use to determine spoilage, is the percentage based on (check one):


1Weight or

2 Kernel count

2. Spoilage for the July 1, 2014 ‑ June 30, 2015 crop due to the following:

EXAMPLE:

Because each load delivered to your plant weighs a different amount, it is important that your calculations reflect a weighted average if you are working with percentages. In the example below, the overall weighted average of two different loads would be calculated as shown.


LOAD #1

Weight 450 lbs. (gross)

Sample – 50 nuts

LOAD #2

Weight 1,500 lbs. (gross)

Sample – 50 nuts

Combined deliveries

Weight 1,950 lbs. (gross)
