(a) Standards available on loan. Duplicates of the United States Standards provided by the Department for classifying and grading rosin in commerce, shall remain the property of the Department, and may be loaned, but not sold, to such interested persons as may be approved by the Administrator. Any interested person desiring the loan of duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin shall submit to the Administrator a form application, properly signed, which will show his interest in naval stores and his eligibility to receive and use such duplicates, in accordance with the provisions in this part. Standards so loaned shall be returned promptly on request.
(b) Standards available for purchase. Duplicate cubes for rosin standard grades XA, XB, and XC are not available from the Department but may be obtained commercially.
[11 FR 14665, Dec. 27, 1946, as amended at 17 FR 221, Jan. 9, 1952; 20 FR 6433, Sept. 1, 1955; 33 FR 8722, June 14, 1968]
Duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin may be loaned without deposit of security, insofar as the supply in the possession of the Department will permit, to:
(a) Any State, County, or Municipal official duly authorized to inspect and grade rosin, who is actually engaged in inspection and grading work, and who shall have been approved by the Administrator to act as custodian of such standards.
(b) Any bona fide dealer or distributor of rosin who shall have been approved by the Administrator to act as depositary for such standards, and who shall maintain and operate a regular naval stores yard which is available to and is regularly used by other persons for the purpose of having rosin inspected, graded, stored, or sold thereon: Provided, however, That a person whose principal use of such standards is the grading of rosin of his own production shall not be deemed to come within the scope of this paragraph, but shall be required to post the security provided for in § 160.75: And provided, further, That no person shall receive more than two sets of duplicates under this paragraph.
(c) Any trade organization or institution of higher learning having a direct relationship to the production or marketing of naval stores other than by reason of the private interests or operations of its individual members, when in the opinion of the Administrator such standards are necessary to the normal functioning of the organization or institution.
Duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin may be loaned to interested persons other than those specified in § 160.74, on deposit with the Department of security in the sum of $100, by remittance payable to the Treasurer of the United States.
The cost of providing duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin, and of maintaining such duplicates in accurate and proper condition for use in grading rosin, and of keeping necessary records thereof, shall be borne by the interested persons to whom the duplicates have been issued under § 160.74 (a) or (b) or § 160.75, and shall be defrayed by an annual charge of $20.00 for each set of duplicates, payable at the end of each Government fiscal year, or on surrender of the duplicates, computed pro-rata for the number of quarters of the fiscal year during which the duplicates were held: Provided, That when any set of standards issued on loan shall need servicing more often than once in any fiscal year, in order to maintain them in accurate condition for grading, and the need for such extra servicing is deemed by the Administrator to be the result of improper handling and use of the standards by the interested person or his agent, such person shall pay an additional amount of $30.00 for each such additional servicing, plus the cost of any parts or components of the standards replaced in such servicing, and any postage charges incurred by the Department in connection therewith.
[11 FR 14665, Dec. 27, 1946, as amended at 17 FR 221, Jan. 9, 1952; 20 FR 6433, Sept. 1, 1955; 46 FR 47055, Sept. 24, 1981; 47 FR 3345, Jan. 25, 1982]
Each person to whom any duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin have been loaned under any provision in this part shall, from time to time, submit such reports on the use and condition thereof as may be required by the Administrator.
In case any duplicates become damaged or are missing, the person to whom they were loaned shall promptly inform the Administrator in writing, stating what damage or loss was sustained and how the same occurred. The cost of making necessary repairs to any duplicates, or of replacing those damaged beyond repair, or missing, shall be paid promptly by the person to whom they were originally loaned.
Any person to whom any duplicates have been loaned without security deposit, who shall request and be granted the loan of additional duplicates to replace the original ones, shall be required to deposit the security provided for in § 160.75 prior to the loan of such additional duplicates. If the set of duplicates first loaned to such person, or any part thereof, is recovered, it shall be returned for inspection or repair. The cost of any repairs or replacements shall be paid, whereupon such original set may be returned to such person, and he shall surrender the second set, on receipt of which the security posted therefor shall be returned.
It shall be deemed impracticable under the act to loan additional duplicates to any person who has permitted duplicates previously loaned to him, without security, to become lost, damaged, or destroyed, if in the opinion of the Administrator, such loss, damage, or destruction resulted from any failure on the part of the interested person or his agent to take suitable precaution to prevent the loss, damage, or destruction, or when the available supply of duplicates is deemed insufficient to warrant the loan of additional duplicates to such person.
On the death of any person, or the dissolution or reorganization of any partnership, firm, or corporation, holding any duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin, they shall be promptly returned to the Administrator by the holder thereof.
The security deposit received from any person to whom duplicates of the United States Standards for rosin have been loaned will be held in the special deposit account of the Department, and the same will be returned to the person from whom received, or his legal representative, on surrender of the duplicates secured thereby: Provided, That before refund is made the cost of any repairs or replacement shall be deducted.
All moneys received or withheld to cover the cost of repairs, or of replacing any missing parts of duplicates, or as rental for duplicates, shall be paid into the United States Treasury as Miscellaneous Receipts.
