registration under the Act. To apply for registration, such persons 
shall file a properly executed application for registration, on forms 
furnished by the Agency, and the bond as required in Secs. 201.27 
through 201.34.
    (b) Each application for registration shall be filed with the 
regional supervisor for the region in which the applicant proposes to 
operate. If the Administrator has reason to believe that the applicant 
is unfit to engage in the activity for which application has been made, 
a proceeding shall be promptly instituted in which the applicant will be 
afforded opportunity for full hearing in accordance with the rules of 
practice governing such proceedings, for the purpose of showing cause 
why the application for registration should not be denied. In the event 
it is determined that the application should be denied, the applicant 
shall not be precluded, as soon as conditons warrant, from again 
applying for registration.
    (c) Any person regularly employed on salary, or other comparable 
method of compensation, by a packer to buy livestock for such packer 
shall be subject to the registration requirements of the Act and the 
regulations. Such person shall be registered as a dealer to purchase

    (d) Every person clearing or desiring to clear the buying operations 
of other registrants shall apply for registration as a market agency 
providing clearing services by filing a properly executed application,
