(a) Any live plant dealer may request a
certificate of inspection to establish that the live plant dealer's live plants
meet pest freedom standards.
(b)
Each inspection pursuant to this regulation shall be conducted at a time chosen
by the secretary to permit adequate inspection for the presence of plant pests
giving consideration to the type of live plants inspected. If necessary due to
the diversity of the live plants or for other reasons, multiple inspections may
be conducted by the secretary.

If the live plants inspected meet pest freedom standards, a certificate of
inspection may be issued by the secretary.
(d) Each certificate of inspection shall be
valid for one of the following:
(1) A period
beginning on October 1 of the year the inspection was conducted through
September 30 of the following calendar year; or
(2) a lesser period that the secretary may
determine based upon the request of the live plant dealer due to the growing
season and distribution schedule for the live plants.
(e) Any request for a certificate of
inspection may be denied and any certificate of inspection may be revoked by
the secretary upon finding any of the following:
(1) An adequate inspection cannot be
conducted.
(2) The live plant
dealer's live plants do not meet pest freedom standards.
(3) Denial of the request for a certificate
of inspection or revocation of the certificate of inspection is necessary to
prevent or retard the spread of a plant pest that could cause economic or
environmental harm.
