receipt of the milk by the plant and prior to pasteurization every consecutive

six months, and shall sample Grade "A" pasteurized milk and milk

products a minimum of four times every consecutive six months.  Samples shall

(b)  Independent milk distributors, out-of-state milk plants

and milk distributors, and milk haulers shall be issued a North Carolina permit

independent milk distributor located in its jurisdiction is authorized, but is

not required to sample Grade "A" pasteurized milk or milk products.

cleanliness in retail stores, grocery stores, milk delivery trucks, and similar

02 ncac 09g .2006          PERMIT SUSPENSION AND REVOCATION

(a)  The Division may suspend a permit:

(1)           when it has reason to believe that an

imminent health hazard exists;

(2)           when the permit holder has violated any of

the requirements of this Section; or

(3)           when the permit holder has obstructed the

Division in the performance of its duties.

(b)  The permit issuing agency may forego suspension of the

permit if the product or products in violation are not sold or offered for sale

until the conditions of Paragraph (e) are met.

(c)  Except where an imminent health hazard exists, the

Division shall serve upon the permit holder a written notice of intent to

suspend a permit.  The written notice shall meet the following requirements:

(1)           specify with particularity the violations

in question;

(2)           afford the permit holder such time to

correct the violations as may be agreed to by the parties or, in the absence of

agreement, fixed by the Division; and

(3)           notify the permit holder that an

administrative hearing will be held prior to suspension of the permit if the

permit holder requests a hearing within the time given for correcting the

violations.

(d)  Where an imminent health hazard exists, the permit may

be suspended immediately and a hearing scheduled thereafter.

(e)  A permit suspension shall remain in effect until the

violations have been corrected.  Permit suspension may be lifted as follows:

(1)           If a permit suspension is due to a

violation of any of the bacterial, coliform, or cooling‑temperature

standards, the Division may, within one week after the receipt of notification

of the correction of the violations, temporarily lift the suspension after

determining by an inspection of the facilities and operating methods that the

conditions responsible for the violation have been corrected.  If a permit

suspension is due to a violation of the somatic cell count standard, the

Division may temporarily lift the suspension whenever a resampling of the herd

milk supply indicates the milk supply to be within acceptable limits as prescribed

in Section 7 of the Milk Ordinance.  In both cases, samples shall then be taken

at the rate of not more than two per week on separate days within a three‑week

period.  The Division shall lift any suspension upon compliance with the

appropriate standard as determined in accordance with Section 6 of the Milk

Ordinance.

(2)           If a permit suspension is due to a

violation of a requirement other than bacteriological, coliform, somatic cell

count, or cooling‑temperature standards, the permit holder may notify the

Division that the violations have been corrected.  Within one week of the

receipt of such notification, the Division shall make an inspection of the

permit holder's establishment and make as many additional inspections

thereafter as are necessary to determine that the permit holder's establishment

is complying with the requirements.  If the establishment is in compliance, the

suspension of the permit will be lifted.

(f)  Upon repeated violations, the Division may revoke a

permit in accordance with G.S. 130A‑23.  This Rule is not intended to

preclude the institution of court action as provided in Rule .2007 of this

Section.

(g)  If a local health department issues the permit, the

local health department is responsible for suspending or revoking the permit. 

The local health department shall utilize information submitted by the Division

or another local health department.
