A. The warehouseman shall render and have on file a report with the State Board of Agriculture by the last day of the month following any calendar quarter in which the warehouseman has accepted ten thousand (10,000) or more bushels of a commodity. If less than ten thousand (10,000) bushels have been accepted in any calendar quarter, the assessment may be reported and remitted with the following quarter's return, except that all assessments collected shall be remitted at least once every six (6) months.

B. If any person subject to the assessment fails to make a report and remittance as required by law or rule, the Board shall determine the amount of the assessment according to its best judgment and information. The amount of assessment established by the Board shall be prima facie correct and the person failing to make the report shall have ten (10) calendar days after receipt of notice mailed by the Board to pay the assessment, together with a penalty of five percent (5%) on the amount of the assessment. The person failing to report may dispute the assessment established by the Board and request a hearing to determine the amount of the assessment and penalty to be imposed. All assessment and penalty payments required following a hearing shall be made within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of notice of the Board order.
