Registration:

1. A. Buyers of farm products, commission merchants, selling agents and other persons must register with the secretary of state to receive the quarterly reports identified in Section 11 [now 12.7.2.11 NMAC]. Registration is thirty dollars ($30.00) annually and must be made on the form prescribed by the secretary of state (Form EFS-4). The secretary of state will mail renewal notices to registrants of record at the beginning of each calendar year.
2. B. Upon registering, the registrant must indicate the types of reports requested and the desired medium (paper or microfiche). The type of sequence, whether alphabetical or numerical, and the type of listing (regular, special or master) must also be indicated. All fees (registration plus lists) must be paid at the time of registration by check or money order made payable to the secretary of state.

3. C. Registrations are effective on the date that a properly completed form and all required fees are accepted by the secretary of state. Fees for quarterly reports will be pro-rated based on twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual fee for each report requested. If a registrant registers before the last ten (10) days preceding the end of a quarter, the fee paid will also include a charge for the most current quarterly listing for the product(s) requested (at twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual fee per listing). The registration fee is not pro-rated.
