    (a) To be eligible for certification service under the regulations 

in this part, the operator of a rendering plant must demonstrate that:

    (1) He operates a rendering plant which will receive materials 

derived from inspected and passed carcasses, or parts of carcasses, of 

animals that did not die otherwise than by slaughter under inspection, 

(i.e., not ``dead animals''); and such source materials will be rendered 

at the plant into technical animal fat eligible for export, or storage 

for export, in accordance with the regulations in this part;

    (2) The source materials and the rendered technical animal fat 

described in paragraph (a)(1) will be identified and kept separated at 

all times from other products; and

    (3) He will comply with the applicable regulations in this part.

    (b) To be eligible for certification service under the regulations 

in this part, the operator of a storage facility must demonstrate that:

    (1) He operates a storage facility that will receive for storage 

certified technical animal fat shipped directly from a certified 

rendering plant for storage for export and he will keep such shipments 

identified and separated from other products that are not certified, and 

he will receive such fat only if it is accompanied by MP Form 85, as 

required by Sec. 351.17.

    (2) He will comply with the applicable regulations in this part.

    (c) Each applicant for certification service must file with the 

Administrator, with the application for service, a written description 

of the procedures to be used for receiving, identifying, processing, 

storing, and otherwise handling technical animal fat, and materials for 

use in the preparation thereof, at the plant or storage facility 

involved, and for shipping technical animal fat from the plant or 

facility and storing and exporting such technical animal fat, and a 

written description of the shipping, receiving, and inventory records 

maintained for technical animal fat.

    (d) The Administrator will determine, on the basis of all 

information available to him, whether the arrangements at the plant or 

storage facility are such as will assure that certifications of 

technical animal fat will be correct, and, if so, will grant the 

application for certification service. An applicant will be given an 

opportunity to present his views prior to refusal of the service.
