Chapter ATCP 99 - Grain Dealers And Grain Warehouse Keepers
Subchapter II - Grain Dealers
Section ATCP 99.135 - Reduced fund assessment for contributing grain dealers who also maintain security

Current through August 26, 2024

(1) VOLUNTARY SECURITY. A licensed grain dealer may at any time file security with the department, regardless of whether the grain dealer is required to file security. Except as provided in sub. (2), a voluntary security filing under this subsection does not relieve a grain dealer of any other obligation to file security or pay fund assessments.

Note: A grain dealer who files voluntary security under sub.

(1) may be eligible for a reduction in fund assessments under sub. (2), and may be able to make a more favorable disclosure to producers under s. ATCP 99.14(2).

(2) REDUCED ASSESSMENT. If, for the duration of a license year, a contributing grain dealer maintains security under sub. (1) in an amount that is at least equal to the grain dealer's estimated default exposure less the maximum fund reimbursement amount, the contributing grain dealer's annual fund assessment under s. ATCP 99.126(1) for that year is reduced by an amount that is determined as follows:
(a) Subtract the maximum fund reimbursement from the grain dealer's estimated default exposure.

(b) Divide the result in par. (a) by the grain dealer's estimated default exposure.

(c) Multiply the result in par. (b) by the amount of the grain dealer's annual fund assessment under s. ATCP 99.126(1), disregarding any assessment reduction under s. ATCP 99.126(4) (a).

(d) Subtract, from the result in par. (c), the amount of any assessment reduction given under s. ATCP 99.126(4) (a).
