PART 714--REFUNDS OF PENALTIES ERRONEOUSLY, ILLEGALLY, OR WRONGFULLY COLLECTED--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 714.35  Basis, purpose, and applicability.

    (a) Basis and purpose. The regulations set forth in this part are 
issued pursuant to the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended, 
for the purpose of prescribing the provisions governing refunds of 
marketing quota penalties erroneously, illegally, or wrongfully 
collected with respect to all commodities subject to marketing quotas 
under the Act.
    (b) Applicability. This part shall apply to claims submitted for 
refunds of marketing quota penalties erroneously, illegally, or 
wrongfully collected on all commodities subject to marketing quotas 
under the Act. It shall not apply to the refund of penalties which are 
deposited in a special deposit account pursuant to sections 314(b), 
346(b), 356(b), or 359 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as 
amended, or paragraph (3) of Pub. L. 74, 77th Congress, available for 
the refund of penalties initially collected which are subsequently 
adjusted downward by action of the county committee, review committee, 
or appropriate court, until such penalties have been deposited in the 
general fund of the Treasury of the United States after determination 
that no downward adjustment in the amount of penalty is warranted. All 
prior regulations dealing with refunds of penalties which were contained 
in this part are superseded upon the effective date of the regulations 
in this part.
