SECTION 35:37-15-9. Inspection and Sampling for Registration

(a)   The Department, or designated inspector, may conduct on-site inspections of each registered producer or handler.

(b)   All on-site inspections shall be conducted at a time that the applicant, or an authorized representative of the applicant, can be present; and when land, facilities, or activities demonstrate the applicant's compliance with, or capability to comply with, registration requirements. This does not apply to inspections for the purposes of complaint investigations.

(c)   A written Notice of Inspection shall be completed at the time of inspection, detailing any results of the inspection, or any observations made by the inspector, that would result in approval or denial of the application. A copy of the Notice of Inspection shall be given to the applicant, or authorized representative of the applicant, at the time of inspection.

(d)   The Department, or designated inspector, may conduct reinspections as deemed necessary to investigate complaints. The Department may deny, suspend, or revoke the registration of an organic entity when the organic entity is found to not be in compliance with the law.

(e)   Any denial of entry for inspection purposes will be considered grounds for denial of registration.
