All persons required to register under this chapter shall submit the following information to the Secretary: the name and principal address of the business, the names of all directors of such business, the names of the principal officers of such business, the names of all persons in a control relationship with respect to such business, a list of locations where the business conducts substantial operations, and such other information as the Secretary deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this chapter.

For the purposes of this section, a person shall be deemed to be in a “control relationship” with respect to a business required to register under subsection
(a)and with respect to applicable interstate businesses if— such person has an ownership interest of 10 per centum or more in such business, or a business or group of business entities, with respect to which such person is in a control relationship, has an ownership interest of 10 per centum or more in such business. For purposes of clauses

If there has been any change in the information required under subsection (b), the person holding such certificate shall, within thirty days of the discovery of such change, notify the Secretary of such change. No person shall engage in the business of buying grain for sale in foreign commerce, and in the business of handling, weighing, or transporting of grain in foreign commerce unless the person has registered with the Secretary as required by this chapter and has an unsuspended and unrevoked certificate of registration. The Secretary may suspend or revoke any certificate of registration issued under this section whenever, after the person holding such certificate has been afforded an opportunity for a hearing in accordance with sections 554, 556, and 557 of title 5, the Secretary shall determine that such person has violated any provision of this chapter or of the regulations promulgated thereunder, or has been convicted of any violation involving the handling, weighing, or inspection of grain under title 18. The Secretary shall charge and collect fees from any person registered under this section. The amount of such fees shall be determined on the basis of the costs of the Secretary in administering the registration required by this section. Such fees shall be deposited in, and used as part of, the fund described in section 79(j) of this title . ( Aug. 11, 1916, ch. 313 , pt. B, § 17A, as added Pub.
