The report shall include the total amount of fees assessed by the first purchaser, the total amount of oilseed purchased and other information as may be required by the Oklahoma Oilseed Commission.
B. If the first purchaser fails to make a report and remittance as required by the Oklahoma Oilseed Resources Act, the Commission shall determine the amount collected and owed by the first purchaser, which shall be prima facie correct. Any first purchaser having failed to make the report as required by the Oklahoma Oilseed Resources Act shall, within ten (10) days after notice of the computed collection amount established by the Commission is mailed to the first purchaser, pay the computed collection amount, together with a penalty of five percent (5%) of the computed collection amount. The first purchaser may dispute the computed collection amount established by the Commission and request the Commission to hold a hearing to redetermine the amount of the computed collection and the penalty to be imposed. No payment shall be made until the Commission enters its order determining the amount of payment. The payment of the determined collection amount and penalty shall be paid within ten (10) days of notice of the decision.
C. At any time the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry may request an audit of the first purchaser to determine whether the collection and proper disposition of the collected assessment were made pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Oilseed Resources Act and rules promulgated thereto.
D. The first purchaser shall retain any records or reports relating to the collection of the assessment for at least three (3) years.
