INSTRUCTIONS FOR AMENDMENT TO APPLICATION TO PRUNE PLUM DIVERSION

INDEPENDENT PRODUCER AND SUNSWEET PRODUCERS

The purpose of the amendment is to allow applicants to increase the diversion tonnage they have applied for. Two 

conditions must be met before an amendment can be submitted. 

1. The applicant must have an approved application on file with the Committee. 

2. The diversion tonnage goal of __________ tons dry weight equivalent (approximately ___________ green) 

must not have been attained. 

Amendments will only be available through the Committee Field Offices and Sacramento. 

If an applicant requests an amendment to his prune plum diversion application, the Committee Field Office 

secretary, prior to providing the applicant with an amendment form, should pull the applicant’s original application 

from the Committee Field Office Master File. From the original application the Committee Field Office secretary 

should insert on the Amendment form the following information: 

Line1 –name of producer; line2-application number on PMC 10.1A or 10.1B, line 6-maximum green tons applied 

for, harvested, unharvested, and total; and l0a. -the original diversion deposit. 

The Committee County secretary should then give the applicant the Amendment form so that the applicant can 

complete the rest of the information on the amendment. Independent applicants should be instructed to submit the 

Amendment directly to the Committee/Sacramento with a check enclosed covering both deposit fee and service 

charge. From Sunsweet producers the applicant should be requested to submit his Amendment directly to Sunsweet 

Growers, Inc. The amendment deposit fee and service charge applies, regardless of the amount of tonnage applied 

for by the applicant on his original application. 

If the Committee County Field Office does not have an approved copy of the applicant's original application the 

Committee County Field Office secretary should call the Committee/Sacramento to obtain verification that the 

applicant’s original application has been accepted and to obtain the information which she is to enter on the 

amendment. 

The “For PMC Use Only” blocks will be filled in by the Committee/Sacramento. 

An example of the procedures which the applicant should follow in correctly filling out the amendment is as 

follows: 

If the applicant originally applied for 15 tons of the harvested diversion the Committee Field Office 

secretary should enter on line 6, of the Amendment in the “original Application (was)” section, under the harvested 

column 15 tons, under the unharvested column 0, and under the total column 15 tons. If the applicant wishes to 

increase his diversion tonnage by 18 tons harvested, line 6 under the “Amended Application (should be)” section the 

following: Harvested diversion 33 tons (15 plus 18), unharvested 0, total 33 tons. The applicant should fill in the 

correct county (ies) of production and variety (ies) of production and location of diversion, if the location of the 

diversion has changed. The Committee Field Office secretary should fill in the original deposit at $100. The service 

charge and amended application deposit are figured only on the increased tonnage applied for. In this example, the 

increased tonnage is 18 tons. The increase tonnage would be entered on the “increased tonnage” line in 10(b) and 

10(c). The increased tonnage times $1.00 equals the service charge, in this example $18.00. The increased tonnage 

times $3.50 equals the increased application fee, in this example $63.00 (18 x $3.50). The total additional amount to 

be remitted (line 10(d) is the sum of the service charge plus the increased deposit fee, in this example $18.00 + 

$63.00 = $81.00. This is the additional deposit amount, which the applicant should submit at the time he submits his 

amendment to his application.

2. If producer is a Sunsweet member, instruct the producer to call Sunsweet Growers Inc. at (530) 674-5010.

3. If the producer is an independent, instruct the producer to come to the Committee Field Office to obtain the 

appropriate forms. If the producer desires to have the forms mailed to him instruct him that you will be glad 

to do so but that Committee takes no responsibility if, because of the mail service, the producer's 

application is not submitted in time to be approved.

When the producer comes to the Committee Field Office:

Approved.” The applicant should also be given a copy of the “Applicant Instructions for Filling 

Out the Amendment to Application for Prune Plum Diversion”.

they have not previously done so (530) 674-5010. IN NO INSTANCE WILL A COMMITTEE COUNTY

producers. 

2. The producer should be advised that his amendment is not approved until he receives a copy of the 

approved Amendment from the Committee/Sacramento. He should also be advised that, if his Amendment 

serves as his initial application, no appointment can be scheduled for him until the Committee County Field 

Office receives copies of the approved Amendment from the Committee/Sacramento.
