Sec. 319.8-24  Collection and disposal of waste.

    (a) Importers shall handle imported, unfumigated cotton and covers 
in a manner to avoid waste. If waste does occur, the importer or his 
agent shall collect and dispose of such waste in a manner satisfactory 
to the inspector.
    (b) If, in the judgment of an inspector, it is necessary as a 
safeguard against risk of pest dispersal to clean railway cars, 
lighters, trucks, and other vehicles and vessels used for transporting 
such cotton or covers, or to clean piers, warehouses, fumigation plants, 
mills, or other premises used in connection with importation of such 
cotton or covers, the importer or his agent shall perform such cleaning, 
in a manner satisfactory to the inspector.
    (c) All costs incident to such collection, disposal, and cleaning 
other than the services of the inspector during his regular tour of duty 
and at the usual place of duty, shall be borne by the importer or his 
agent.
