§ 928.60 - Reports.

(a) Upon request of the committee, made with the approval of the Secretary, each handler shall furnish to the committee, in such manner and at such time as it may prescribe, reports of papayas received and disposed of and such other information as may be necessary for the committee to perform its duties under this part.

(b) All such reports shall be held under appropriate protective classification and custody by the committee, or duly appointed employees thereof, so that the information contained therein which may adversely affect the competitive position of any handler in relation to other handlers will not be disclosed. Compilations of general reports from data submitted by handlers are authorized, subject to the prohibition of disclosure of individual handler's identities or operations.

(c) Each handler shall maintain for at least 2 succeeding fiscal years such records of the papayas received and of papayas disposed of by such handler as may be necessary to verify reports pursuant to this section.

(d) Verification of reports: For the purpose of assuring compliance and checking and verifying the reports filed by handlers, the Secretary and the Committee, through its duly authorized agents, shall have access to any premises where applicable records are maintained, where papayas are handled, and, at any time during reasonable business hours, shall be permitted to inspect such handlers' premises and any and all records of such handlers with respect to matters within the purview of this part.
