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

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
