Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amended rule adds the Land Survey
				  Program, formerly residing in the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, to
				  the division's general organization and description. The rule is deleting old
				  section (3) because the division no longer uses many paper
				  forms.
PURPOSE: This rule complies with section
				  536.023,
				  RSMo
which requires each agency to adopt as a rule a
				  description of its operation and the method where the public may obtain
				  information or make submissions or requests.
PUBLISHER'S NOTE: The secretary of state has
				  determined that the publication of the entire text of the material which is
				  incorporated by reference as a portion of this rule would be unduly cumbersome
				  or expensive. This material as incorporated by reference in this rule shall be
				  maintained by the agency at its headquarters and shall be made available to the
				  public for inspection and copying at no more than the actual cost of
				  reproduction. This note applies only to the reference material. The entire text
				  of the rule is printed here.
(1) The Division of Weights, Measures and
				Consumer Protection is a unit of the Department of Agriculture, state of
				Missouri. The primary responsibility of this division is to maintain equity in
				the marketplace. This is accomplished by assuring the accuracy of weighing and
				measuring devices which are used commercially; monitoring the weighing and
				measuring practices of buyers and sellers alike to assure accuracy and fair
				dealing in the exchange of goods and services; establishing requirements for
				methods and tolerances for moisture-measuring devices; inspecting eggs to
				insure they meet proper grade standards for quality and size; prohibiting milk
				sales practices that unfairly divert trade from a competitor; establishing
				safety standards for handling and use of anhydrous ammonia, liquefied petroleum
				gases, and petroleum products; establishing quality standards for motor fuel;
				to restore, maintain, and preserve locations of the corners set by the original
				surveys of the United States public land surveys and their subsequent
				extensions along with all pertinent field notes, plats, and documents; to
				establish and maintain a record storage and retrieval system for all land
				survey records in this state; to extend geodetic control surveys to permit
				general use of the Missouri State Coordinate System; and to prescribe and
				disseminate regulations to assist in uniform and professional surveying methods
				and standards. The division consists of five (5) programs to carry out these
				duties-Metrology Laboratory, Scale/Egg/Milk Program,
				Petroleum/Propane/An-hydrous Ammonia Program, Grain Moisture Meter Program and
				The Land Survey Program.
