Guaranteed Analysis When Tonnage Inspection Fee is Based on Product Constituent

PURPOSE: This rule establishes tolerance for under guaranteeing a nutrient when inspection fee is based on specific nutrient content of a fertilizer product. (1) When the tonnage inspection fee authorized in section 266.331, RSMo, is based on nutrient constituent component(s) contained in the fertilizer, the guaranteed analysis will accurately represent the nutrient content of the product within one hundred fifty percent (150%) value. Value will be determined by chemical analysis and calculated by dividing the found nutrient level by the guaranteed level. Product analysis that are found to exceed one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the guarantee shall be subject to the prescribed inspection fee multiplied by the factor which the product was under guaranteed. AUTHORITY: sections 266.291–266.351, RSMo 2000 and RSMo Supp. 2009.* Original rule filed April 15, 2010, effective Nov. 30, 2010. *Original authority: Please see the Missouri Revised Statutes, 2000 and Supplement 2009.
