§ 160.76 Annual charge for use of

standards.

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 $5.00 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 $5.00 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]

In case any dupicates 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.

§ 160.79 Request for additional standards.

Any person to whom any duplicates have been loaned without security de

posit, 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.

§ 160.80 Denial of loan of additional standards.

It shall be deemed impracticable under the act to loan additional duplicates to any person who has permitted duplicates previously loaned to him, with or 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.

§ 160.81 Surrender of standards.

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.
