Such term includes both the manufacturer’s cost and the cost to retail purchasers.
**(d) Power of Secretary to obtain or require submission of information under other provisions unaffected** Nothing in this section shall be construed to restrict the authority of the Secretary to obtain or require submission of information under any other provision of this chapter.
