PART 800--GENERAL REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 800.60  Deceptive actions and practices.

    In the absence of prior adequate notice to appropriate official 
personnel, any action or practice, including the loading, weighing, 
handling, or sampling of grain that knowingly causes or is an attempt to 
cause the issuance by official personnel of a false or incorrect 
official certificate or other official form, is deemed to be deceptive 
and, as such, is a violation of section 13(a)(3) of the Act. For the 
purposes of this paragraph, adequate notice is written or oral notice 
given to an agency or the Service, as applicable, before official 
personnel begin to perform official inspection or weighing services. If 
oral notice is given, it must be confirmed in writing within 2 business 
days. To be adequate, the notice must explain the nature and extent of 
the action or practice in question and must identify the grain, stowage 
container, equipment, facility, and the official personnel actually or 
potentially involved.
