Iowa Code r. 21-90.21 - Grain stored in another warehouse

Upon approval by the bureau, a warehouse operator may store grain in another licensed warehouse in accordance with Iowa Code section 203C.39 as amended by 2012 Iowa Acts, Senate File 2311, section 116.

(1) Decision criteria. The department shall consider the following in deciding to approve or deny a warehouse operator's request to store grain in another licensed warehouse:

a. The other licensed warehouse is located in Iowa and is either licensed by the department pursuant to Iowa Code chapter 203C or licensed pursuant to the United States Warehouse Act.

b. The other licensed warehouse is located in another state and is licensed pursuant to the United States Warehouse Act.

c. The other licensed warehouse is located in another state and is licensed pursuant to that state's statutes and that state's warehouse license provides all of the following:

(1) Financial requirements and examination programs essentially equivalent to Iowa's;

(2) Insurance coverage equivalent to Iowa's; and

(3) Indemnification, surety bond coverage, letter of credit or other security satisfactory to the department.

(2) Notice and licensing. Upon receipt of a written request from a warehouse operator to store a specified amount of grain in another warehouse and confirmation of compliance with Iowa Code section 203C.6, the bureau shall issue an amended license to the warehouse operator. The amended license shall show the number of bushels which the warehouse operator is authorized to store in another warehouse. The warehouse operator shall not store grain in another warehouse prior to the issuance of the amended warehouse operator license.

(3) Net worth requirement. The number of bushels of grain to be stored in another warehouse shall be added to the warehouse operator's gross capacity. The warehouse operator must have sufficient net worth to cover the gross capacity or provide a deficiency bond or irrevocable letter of credit as provided for in Iowa Code section 203C.6. The net worth requirements of Iowa Code section 203C.6 shall not apply to transfers of grain between warehouses licensed by the same entity.

(4) Trust warehouse receipts. A warehouse operator who stores grain in another warehouse shall obtain a nonnegotiable warehouse receipt for the grain stored. The receipt shall clearly show the following notation: "Held in Trust for the Depositors of (name of original receiving warehouse)". The warehouse receipt shall be on an official form as specified in 21-90.15 (203C), an official United States Department of Agriculture authorized bonded warehouse receipt as provided for in the United States Warehouse Act or on an official form as specified in the regulations of the state in which the warehouse receipt is issued.

(5) Record keeping-daily position record. Grain stored in another warehouse under the provisions of this rule shall be reflected in the total stocks section and the appropriate obligations section of the warehouse operator's daily position record.

(6) Record keeping-shipment records. Grain shipped to another warehouse operator under the provisions of this rule shall be documented on scale tickets. The warehouse operator shall either clearly indicate "forwarded grain" on the scale ticket or maintain a supplementary record of such shipments. The warehouse operator shall at all times maintain a record of the amount of grain stored in another elevator.

(7) Monthly grain statement requirement. On the monthly statements filed pursuant to rule 21-90.20 (203C), a warehouse operator shall disclose the amount of each type of grain stored in another warehouse.

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 203C.2 and 203C.39.
