in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If the Secretary of Commerce or an authorized employee sends a request for information by registered or certified mail or telegram, the mail receipt or written confirmation counts as proof that the request was officially made. This can be used as evidence in a prosecution under this law.

When the Secretary, or another authorized officer or employee of the Department of Commerce (or one of its bureaus or agencies), sends a request for information by registered or certified mail or by telegram, the return receipt or other written proof of that mailing serves as prima facie evidence — meaning it's accepted as proof unless disproven — that an official request was made, in any prosecution under this section.
