Any person in the Commonwealth who produced at least one bale of cotton in the

applicable, title of producer if a partner or corporate officer; (ii) the name
and locality of each handler of that producer&#8217;s cotton in the fiscal year
preceding the referendum; and (iii) any other information deemed necessary by
the Commissioner to carry out the Commissioner&#8217;s duties under this
