COMMERCIAL FEEDS
§
324. Registration and fees
(a) No person
shall manufacture a commercial feed in this State unless that person has first
filed with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, in a form and
manner to be prescribed by rules by the Secretary:
(1) the name of
the manufacturer;
(2) the
manufacturer's place of business;
(3) the location
of each manufacturing facility; and
(4) any other
information which the Secretary considers to be necessary.
(b) A person
shall not distribute in this State a commercial feed that has not been
registered pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. Application shall be in
a form and manner to be prescribed by rule of the Secretary. The application
for registration of a commercial feed shall be accompanied by a registration
fee of $85.00 per product. The registration fees, along with any surcharges
collected under subsection (c) of this section, shall be deposited in the
special fund created by subsection 364(e) of this title. Funds deposited in
this account shall be restricted to implementing and administering the
provisions of this title and any other provisions of the law relating to
fertilizer, lime, or seeds. If the Secretary so requests, the application for
registration shall be accompanied by a label or other printed matter describing
the product.
(c) No person
shall distribute in this State any feed required to be registered under this
chapter upon which the Secretary has placed a withdrawal from distribution
order because of nonregistration. A surcharge of $10.00, in addition to the
registration fee required by subsection (b) of this section, shall accompany
the application for registration of each product upon which a withdrawal from
distribution order has been placed for reason of nonregistration, and must be
received before removal of the withdrawal from distribution order. (Added 1985,
