Sec. 925.42  Accounting.

    (a) If, at the end of a fiscal period, the assessments collected are 
in excess of expenses incurred, such excess shall be accounted for in 
accordance with one of the following:
    (1) If such excess is not retained in a reserve, as provided in 
paragraph (d)(2) of this section, it shall be refunded proportionately 
to the persons from whom it was collected: Provided, That any sum paid 
by a person in excess of that person's pro rata share of the expenses 
during any fiscal period may be applied by the committee at the end of 
such fiscal period to any outstanding obligations due the committee from 
such person.
    (2) The committee, with the approval of the Secretary, may carry 
over such excess into subsequent fiscal periods as a reserve: Provided, 
That funds in the reserve shall not exceed approximately one fiscal 
period's expenses. Such reserve funds may be used: (i) To defray 
expenses, during any fiscal period, prior to the time the assessment 
income is sufficient to cover such expenses; (ii) to cover deficits 
incurred during any fiscal period when assessment income is less than 
expenses; (iii) to defray expenses incurred during any period when any 
or all provisions of this part are suspended or are inoperative; or (iv) 
to cover necessary expenses of liquidation in the event of termination 
of this part. Upon such termination, any funds not required to defray 
the necessary expenses of liquidation shall be disposed of in such 
manner as the Secretary may determine to be appropriate: Provided, That 
to the extent practicable such funds shall be returned pro rata to the 
persons from whom such funds were collected.
    (b) All funds received by the committee under this part shall be 
used solely for the purpose specified in this part and shall be 
accounted for in the manner provided in this part. The Secretary may at 
any time require the committee and its members to account for all 
receipts and disbursements.
    (c) Upon the removal or expiration of the term of office of any 
member of the committee, such member shall account for all receipts and 
disbursements and deliver all property and funds in such member's 
possession to the committee, and shall execute such assignments and 
other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to vest in the 
committee full title to all of the property, funds, and claims vested in 
such member pursuant to this part.
