                1. The authority citation for part 2204 continues to read as follows:

                Sec. 2204.302 Net worth exhibit.
                 (a) Each applicant except a qualified tax-exempt organization,
                cooperative association, or, in the case of an application for an award
                related to an allegedly excessive demand by the Secretary, a small
                entity as that term is defined by 5 U.S.C. 601(6), shall provide with
                its application a detailed exhibit showing the net worth of the
                applicant as required by Sec. 2204.301(c) when the proceeding was
                initiated. The exhibit may be in any form convenient to the applicant
                that provides full disclosure of the applicant's assets and liabilities
                and is sufficient to determine whether the applicant qualifies as a
                party as defined in Sec. 2204.201. The judge or Commission may require
                an applicant to file additional information to determine its
                eligibility for an award.
