Sec. 777.9  Misrepresentation, scheme and device, and fraud.

    (a) If FSA determines that any producer has erroneously represented 
any fact or has adopted, participated in, or benefited from, any scheme 
or device which has the effect of defeating, or is designed to defeat 
the purpose of this part, such producer shall not be eligible for 
disaster payments under this part and all payments previously made to 
any such producer shall be refunded to FSA. The amount paid to FSA shall 
include any interest and other amounts as determined in accordance with 
this part.
    (b) If any misrepresentation, scheme or device, or practice has been 
employed for the purpose of causing FSA to make a payment which FSA 
under this part otherwise would not make, all amounts paid by FSA to any 
such producer shall be refunded to FSA together with interest and other 
amounts as determined in accordance with this part, and no further 
disaster payments shall be made to such producer by FSA.
    (c) If the county ASC committee determines that any producer has 
adopted or participated in any practice which tends to defeat the 
purpose of the program established in accordance with this part, the 
county committee shall withhold or require to be refunded all or part of 
the payments which otherwise would be due the producer under this part.
