PART 742--COTTONSEED WAREHOUSES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 742.4  Issuance of license; conditions.

    (a) A license for the conduct of a warehouse shall not be issued if 
it be found by the Secretary that the warehouse is not suitable for the 
proper storage of cottonseed, that the warehouseman is incompetent to 
conduct such warehouse in accordance with the act and the regulations in 
this part, or that there is any other sufficient reason within the 
purposes of the act for not issuing such license.
    (b) A building acceptable for storage of cottonseed shall be of 
sound construction, with sound floors, and, if the seed is not stored in 
accordance with either paragraphs (e), (f), or (g) of this section, it 
shall be separated into bins or compartments.
    (c) An extra licensed bin or compartment shall be maintained at all 
times with a storage capacity equal to the greatest number of tons that 
can be stored in any one bin or compartment, except as otherwise 
provided in paragraphs (e), (f), and (g) of this section. No cottonseed 
shall be stored in this extra bin or compartment except when necessary 
to move seed from another bin or compartment to prevent the seed from 
going out of condition.

    (d) A conveying system must be provided throughout the entire 
warehouse, passing through or accessible to each bin or compartment in 
such a way that the cottonseed can be moved rapidly when deemed 
necessary to maintain it in proper condition.
    (e) A system of air cooling may be installed in the warehouse. If, 
in the discretion of the Administrator or his representative, it shall 
be determined that a warehouse equipped with a cooling system does not 
need bins, it shall not be necessary to construct bins in such 
warehouse.
    (f) If tanks are used for the storage of cottonseed both a conveying 
system and an approved air cooling system must be installed and 
maintained in good working order.
    (g) If cottonseed is stored in bags no special type of building is 
required other than one of sound construction, and with sound floors and 
of such character as to keep the cottonseed dry. No system of conveying 
or air cooling is required in bag storage.
