Sec. 330.203  Action on applications for permits to move plant pests; 
form of and conditions in permits.

    The Deputy Administrator, having considered an application for 
permit to move a plant pest, shall approve or deny the application in 
accordance with Sec. 330.204. If the application is denied, the 
applicant shall be furnished the reasons therefor. If the application is 
approved, the Deputy Administrator shall issue the permit including any 
conditions which, in the opinion of the Deputy Administrator, are 
necessary to prevent dissemination of plant pests into the United States 
or interstate. Such conditions may include requirements for inspection 
of the premises where the plant pests are to be handled, after their 
movement under the permits, to determine whether the facilities thereat 
are adequate to prevent plant pest dissemination and the conditions of 
the permit are otherwise being observed. Permits authorizing movement of 
plant pests through the United States will include shipping instructions 
as to routing, labelling, and similar requirements as conditions of the 
permits. Any applicable conditions prescribed in administrative 
instructions may be incorporated in a written permit by citation, but 
shall be applicable whether or not so cited. The Deputy Administrator 
may, prior to the issuance of the permit, require the applicant to agree 
in writing to the conditions under which the plant pests will be 
safeguarded. The permits may be issued in a prescribed form or in letter 
form, or a combination thereof. A permit without conditions may be 
issued orally.
