Sec. 51.9  When application may be rejected.

    An application may be rejected by the inspector in charge of the 
appropriate office of inspection if the applicant objects to the 
inspector cutting an adequate number of specimens to determine the 
interior quality or condition of the product to be inspected, or for 
failure of the applicant (a) to observe the regulations of this part, 
(b) to furnish necessary information or to make the commodity reasonably 
available or accessible for inspection, (c) to pay for previous 
inspection services rendered, or (d) when it appears that to perform the 
inspection and certification service would not be to the best interest 
of the Government. Such applicant shall be notified promptly of the 
reason for such rejection.
