2021 Montana Code Annotated|Title 80. Agriculture|Chapter 10. Commercial Fertilizers|Part 2. Licensing and Registration|80-10-206. Inspection, sampling, and analysis

  80-10-206. Inspection, sampling, and analysis. (1) The department may sample, inspect, analyze, and test commercial fertilizers and soil amendments distributed in this state at a time and place and to an extent necessary to determine whether the commercial fertilizers or soil amendments are in compliance with this chapter. The department may enter any public or private premises during regular business hours in order to have access to commercial fertilizers or soil amendments subject to this chapter.   (2) The methods of analysis and sampling must be those adopted by the department from sources such as those of the association of official analytical chemists. The results of analysis, together with additional information the department considers advisable, must be transmitted promptly to the manufacturer and to the dealer or person in whose possession the product was sampled.   (3) The department, in determining whether any deficiency occurred in a commercial fertilizer or soil amendment, must be guided solely by the official sample obtained and analyzed as provided for in subsections (1) and (2). The department may arrange with other laboratories for specific analyses conducted as part of an official analysis.   (4) If on the basis of an inspection or the analysis of the official sample a commercial fertilizer or soil amendment is found to be subject to penalty or other legal action, the department shall forward to the responsible party notification of the violation. If no adequate evidence to the contrary is made available to the department, the report becomes official.   (5) Upon request, the department shall furnish to the responsible party a portion of any sample found subject to penalty or other legal action. The responsible party may challenge the department's determination of a violation within 30 days following the responsible party's receipt of the analysis. Upon receipt of the challenge, the department shall forward a portion of the remainder of the official sample to any recognized chemical laboratory of the responsible party's choice for analysis. If the results differ significantly from the department's analysis, the responsible party may request a referee analysis by a referee laboratory chosen by the department. Results of the referee analysis must be reported to the responsible party and to the department, and the referee analysis is considered official. If the department's initial analysis is sustained following a referee analysis, the responsible party that requested the referee analysis shall pay the costs of the referee analysis.   History: En.

  80-10-208. Penalties. (1) A penalty of two times the commercial value of the deficiency, as determined by the retail price based on a semiannual state survey, may be assessed:   (a) if the analysis shows that a commercial fertilizer is deficient in one or more of its guaranteed primary nutrients beyond the investigational allowance as established by regulation; or   (b) if the overall index value of the fertilizer is below the level established by regulation.   (2) When a commercial fertilizer is subject to a penalty under both subsections (1)(a) and (1)(b), the larger penalty applies.   (3) Deficiencies beyond the investigational allowances as established by regulation in any other constituent covered under 80-10-102(1)(b), (1)(c), and (1)(d) that the registrant is required to or may guarantee may be evaluated, and penalties may be assessed at two times the commercial value of the deficiency as determined by the retail price based on a semiannual state survey.   (4) Nothing contained in this section prevents any person from appealing the department's decision to a court of competent jurisdiction.   (5) All penalties assessed under this section must be paid to the consumer of the lot, not to exceed 100 tons, of commercial fertilizer represented by the sample analyzed within 3 months after the date of notice from the department to the responsible party. If at the end of the 3-month period the consumer cannot be found, receipts must be taken and promptly forwarded to the department for deposit in the state special revenue fund as provided in 80-10-207.   (6) If the department cannot reasonably determine the lot size, then the lot size is considered to be 2 tons for the purposes of calculating the commercial value of the deficiency.   (7) A deficiency in an official sample of mixed fertilizer that results from nonuniformity is not distinguishable from a deficiency to actual plant nutrient shortage and is subject to official action.
