Current through Register Vol. 30, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A.
				Scheduled continuous grading service on a resident basis and continuous grading
				service on a nonresident basis. Service on a resident basis has a scheduled
				tour of duty, while service on a nonresident basis has a nonscheduled tour of
				duty, but is of a reoccurring nature. Both of these services are performed when
				an applicant requests that an AZDA/inspector grader be stationed in the
				applicant's processing plant and grade eggs in accordance with U.S. Standards.
				The applicant agrees to comply with the facility, operating, and sanitary
				requirements of resident service. The charges for resident grading services are
				based on the hours of the regular tour of duty. Eggs graded under AZDA resident
				grading service are only eligible to be identified with the official grademarks
				shown in R3-2-1111 when processed and graded under the supervision of a
				grader/inspector, or quality assurance inspector as provided in
				R3-2-1114.
B. Unscheduled temporary
				grading service. Temporary grading service is performed when an applicant
				requests resident grading on a fee basis. The applicant must meet all of the
				facility, operating, and sanitary requirements of resident service. Charges or
				fees are based on the time and expenses needed to perform the work. Eggs graded
				under temporary grading service are only eligible to be identified with the
				official AZDA grademarks when they are processed and graded under the
				supervision of a grader or quality assurance inspector as provided in
				R3-2-1114.
C. Auditing service.
				Auditing service is performed when an applicant requests independent
				verification of written quality assurance and value added standards for
				production, processing, and distribution of eggs. Charges or fees are based on
				time, travel, and expenses needed to perform the work.
D. The Department shall determine the number
				of graders needed to perform grading services. Recipients shall not ask AZDA
				graders to assume plant managerial responsibilities.
