According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. 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 FOR COMPLETING FORM RAC-35
The Rules and Regulations promulgated pursuant to Marketing Order No. 989 require, except for specific exemptions stated in the Rules, the filing and approval of an application before the handler ships or otherwise disposes of off-grade raisins, other failing raisins and raisin residual material for use within the continental United States, other than Alaska, and in eligible non-normal outlets. Non-normal outlets include the sale or processing for stock feed, distillation or in any other outlet than those customarily used for the commercial disposition of raisins meeting the then applicable grade and condition standards for natural condition or packed raisins.
If the name and address of the user or consignee, or the use to be made of the raisins or residuals is not known to the handler, the handler shall arrange for the submission of such information to the Raisin Administrative Committee (RAC) by the buyer. The RAC will not approve the application until this information has been received, or if any other information called for herein is lacking. The basis for approving or disapproving the application or revoking previously approved applications is set out in the Rules and Regulations, as amended.
The handler shall submit to the RAC on every sale or shipment, within twenty (20) days (exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) after such shipment, a certified invoice showing the quantity, type of container, and destination specified in the handler’s approved application.
This application shall be accompanied by the handler’s sales contract with the buyer and the RAC-36. The sales contract shall contain provisions relating to the disposition of the raisins or raisin material, the submission of documents and the maintenance and examination of records as set out in the Rules and Regulations.
In the event raisins or raisin residual material covered by an approved application should be shipped to points outside the continental United States or to Alaska, or disposed of in other than eligible non-normal outlets by any person, it will cause serious and substantial damage to the RAC and to the producers and handlers of raisins, and it will be difficult, if not impossible, to prove the extent of such damage and, therefore, the handler shall pay to the RAC the sum of an amount equal to the established field price as liquidated damages for each ton so shipped or disposed of, such sum being a fair measure of damages and not a penalty.
This report is required by law (7 U.S.C. 608d, 7 CFR 989.159(g)(2)(i)(e)). Failure to report can result in a fine of $2,750 for each such violation and each day during which such violation continues shall be deemed a separate violation.
