The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0581- 0178. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 5 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

Refer to “PREFERRED PRACTICE IN ARRANGING GROWER NAMES” for guidance in setting forth in the space provided on this form all data needed to identify a grower. The numbers used below refer to the numbered sections of the above noted guide.

1. Where an Owner-Operator receiving 100% proceeds for his prunes desires several lots to be distinguished from each other, list his name and address and the first lot designation or number in a block on the face of this form. Ditto succeeding lower blocks in the “Grower’s Name and Address” section and enter the desired lot number in the space marked “Lot No.”. If lot names are desired, instead of numbers, just write across the next column to the right since this space is not used (Ex.: James C. Prune (Home Lot)). Insert the designation “0” in the “Status” column of the form.

2. In “Share” situations be sure to list together in vertical sequence all entities having a percentage of the proceeds of either a consolidation of several deliveries or of a single lot as identified to a given producer entity. This will be your only direction to us as to what entities belong together. Be sure the share percentage entities add to 100%.

3. These differ from 2. In that shares of the partnership govern net prune proceeds distribution on the same basis as all other partnership net income. Such shares are not to be shown on this form.

4. Self-explanatory.

5 Lien holders usually have a priority dollar interest in a crop. After such amount is paid, remainder of proceeds reverts to the producer entity as otherwise established under 1, 2, 3, and 4, above. Be sure that you identify Lien holders to their proper grower by listing a Lien holder immediately below the data for the producer entity in which he has an interest. This procedure is used only when a Reserve Pool is in effect.

General: Where multiple names of persons are needed for a single address, it is important that the person whose address is used be the first person named. This will avoid postage mail being returned as “undeliverable” because the mailman/mail does not recognize the first named person as the occupant of the address given.

AUTHORITY: This report is required by law (7 U.S.C. 608(d), 7 CFR 993.73).

FAILURE TO REPORT can result in a fine for each such violation and each day during which such violation continues shall be deemed a separate violation.
