Sec. 800.83  Sampling provisions by kind of movement.

    (a) Export cargo movements. (1) Bulk grain. Except as may be 
approved by the Administrator on a shipment-by-shipment basis in an 
emergency, each inspection for official grade, official factor, or 
official criteria on an export cargo shipment of bulk grain shall be 
performed on official samples obtained from the grain (i) as the grain 
is being loaded aboard the final carrier; (ii) after the final elevation 
of the grain prior to loading and as near to the final loading spout as 
is physically practicable (except as approved by the Administrator when 
representative samples can be obtained before the grain reaches the 
final loading spout); and (iii) by means of a diverter-type mechanical 
sampler approved by the Service and operated in accordance with 
instructions. If an approved diverter-type mechanical sampler is not 
properly installed at an elevator or facility as required, each 
certificate issued at that elevator or facility for an export cargo 
shipment of bulk grain shall show a statement indicating the type of 
approved sampling method used, as prescribed in the instructions.
    (2) Sacked grain. Each inspection for official grade, official 
factor, or official criteria on an export cargo shipment of sacked grain 
shall be performed on official samples obtained from the grain by any 
sampling method approved by the Service and operated in accordance with 
instructions.
    (b) Other movements. Each inspection for official grade, official 
factor, or official criteria on a domestic cargo movement (``In,'' 
``Out,'' or en route barge movement), a movement in a

combination, or container), or a ``LOCAL'' movement of bulk or sacked 
grain shall be performed on official samples obtained from the grain by 
any sampling method approved by the Service and operated in accordance 
with the instructions.
