PART 736--GRAIN WAREHOUSES--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 736.3a  All facilities to be licensed or exempted.

    All facilities within the same city or town used for the storage of 
grain by an applicant for a warehouse license must qualify for a license 
and be licensed under the act if the applicant is to be licensed to 
operate as a grain warehouseman in such city or town, unless the 
facilities which are not to be covered by a license are exempted by the 
Secretary or his designated representative upon a finding that, due to 
the exercise of adequate controls by some independent agency over the 
operation of the nonfederally licensed facilities, there would be no 
likelihood of interchange, substitution, or commingling of grain stored 
in such facilities with grain stored in the federally licensed 
facilities. If all such facilities do not qualify for a license or for 
an exemption under this section, the applicant shall not be licensed 
under the act as a grain warehouseman in the city or town in which the 
facilities in question are located. Each applicant for a grain warehouse 
license must apply for a license covering all facilities operated by him 
for the storage of grain within the same city or town or for exemption 
as provided in this section. If a licensed grain warehouseman acquires 
any additional grain storage facilities within the same city or town in 
which his licensed warehouse is located, he shall file promptly an 
application for a license or an exemption of the additional facilities. 
No grain storage facility acquired by a licensed grain warehouseman, 
subsequent to the issuance of his license, in the same city or town as 
his licensed facilities, shall be used for the storage of grain until it 
qualifies for license and is licensed or is exempted as provided in this 
section. If any one of the licensed grain storage facilities operated by 
a warehouseman in the same city or town becomes ineligible for a license 
at any time for any reason, it shall not thereafter be used for the 
storage of grain until the condition making it ineligible is removed or 
an exemption is granted as provided in this section. The use for the 
storage of grain by a licensed warehouseman of a facility which is in 
the same city or town as his licensed facilities and is neither licensed 
nor exempted, or other violation of the provisions of this section, 
shall be cause for suspension or revocation of any license issued to the 
warehouseman for the storage of grain.
