Sec.  946.41  Assessments.

    Each handler shall pay to the committee upon demand, his pro rata 
share of the expenses authorized by the Secretary for each fiscal 
period. Each handler's pro rata share shall be the rate of assessment 
per hundredweight fixed by the Secretary times the quantity of potatoes 
which he handles as the first handler thereof. At any time during or 
after a fiscal period, the Secretary may increase the rate of assessment 
as necessary to cover authorized expenses. Such increase shall be 
applicable to all potatoes handled during the given fiscal period. The 
payment of expenses for the maintenance and functioning of the committee 
may be required during periods when no regulations are in effect. If a 
handler does not pay his assessment within the time prescribed by the 
committee, the assessment may be increased by a late payment charge or 
an interest charge, or both, at rates prescribed by the committee with 
the approval of the Secretary.
