(a) (1) Upon receipt of the data from the Department, the manufacturer or labeler shall calculate the quarterly payment.

If a discrepancy is still found, the manufacturer or labeler shall justify its calculation or make payments to the Department for any additional amount due. The manufacturer or labeler may, at its expense, hire a mutually agreed-upon independent auditor to verify the accuracy of the utilization data provided by the Department.
