Haw. Code R. § 4-45-4 - Registration
(a) Registration of commercial feeds shall be
the responsibility of the local manufacturer, importer, or
distributor.
(b) Application for
registration shall be submitted in duplicate on forms furnished by the
department on request from the applicant or available on the department's
internet web site and shall be accompanied by two labels for each feed to be
registered.
(c) A registration fee
of $30 shall be paid for each commercial feed registered, except when subject
to the exemption under subsection (i).
(d) Registration shall become effective on
the date the certificate of registration is issued and shall continue in effect
as long as the feed is sold in the State and there have been no major changes
to the label submitted with the application for registration.
(e) Registration of a commercial feed shall
expire when it has not been sold in the State for twelve consecutive quarters,
as evidenced by no reported sales of that commercial feed on the tonnage
reports required under section 4-45-5. A registrant may also withdraw the
registration of a commercial feed in writing to the department.
(f) When payments for fees or penalties
covered by this chapter are by check, a service fee shall be assessed for each
check that is not honored.
(g)
Notice shall be given to the department of any proposed change in the format or
contents of the label for any feed registered with the department. The
registrant shall describe the changes desired and shall submit an application
for registration with two copies of the revised label. Before a revised label
is approved by the department, the product shall not be marketed with the
revised label. After the date the change in labeling is approved by the
department, the product shall be marketed only under the revised label, except
that a reasonable time may be permitted by the department to dispose of or to
utilize the old labels.
(h) Any
change to the information required on the label or a registered feed in section
144-4, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, or this chapter, shall constitute a major change and require a new
registration of the feed and payment of the registration fee, except for the
following if the change does not result in a lowering of the feeding value of
the registered feed for its designed purpose:
(1) A change to the ingredients or the order
of predominance of ingredients in the ingredient statement; and
(2) A change to a guarantee of less than ten
per cent of the guarantee in the original registration.
(i) Any trial shipment of a commercial feed
in lot size not exceeding two hundred and fifty pounds may be exempt from the
registration fee requirement in subsection (c) on a one time basis. Any
subsequent shipment, regardless of lot size, shall be subject to the
registration fee. Two labels shall be submitted to the department for each feed
distributed on a trial basis. When requested, the distributor shall provide
proof that any unsold feed in storage is part of the initial trial
shipment.
(j) The department, upon
receipt and review of a registration of a commercial feed or a request to
change the label of a registered commercial feed, shall issue either of the
following to the registrant, no later than ten working days from the date of
receipt:
(1) The approved registration of a
commercial feed or the approved change to the label of a registered commercial
feed, if the application for registration or request to change the label of a
registered commercial feed is properly completed and includes any fees,
penalties, or other supplemental information required by chapter
144, Hawaii
Revised Statutes, or this chapter; or
(2) A written statement that the registration
or change to the label of a registered commercial feed is denied and an
explanation of the reason for the denial.
