			 records, including the temperature/time recorder charts and critical factor
			 control records, must be signed or initialed and dated by the person conducting

			 obtained, and any corrective actions taken. Records must be signed or initialed
			 by the container closure technician and must be reviewed and signed by the
			 state-inspected establishment within 1 working day after the actual production
			 to ensure that the records are complete and that the closing operations have
			 been properly controlled. All container closure examination records required in
			 this subpart must be made available to the Department for review.
(4) Distribution of product. Records must be
			 maintained by the establishment identifying initial distribution of the
			 finished product to facilitate, if necessary, the segregation of specific

Persons who operate grain warehouses in Oregon should obtain
				copies from the State Department of Agriculture, Commodity Inspection Division,
				635 Capitol Street N.E., Salem, Oregon 97310, and become familiar with the
				provisions of the Oregon Grain Warehouse and Inspection Law, ORS Chapter 586.
				The regulations hereafter promulgated by the Department, in most instances
				merely clarify and carry out the intent of the legislature and such law.
				Particular reference for example, should be made in the law to the definition
				of "Grain" and the fact should be noted (ORS

				proximity to, his licensed public warehouse shall keep a complete set of
				records for the warehouse business, entirely separate and distinct from the
				accounts and records of any other business". Regulations have the effect of law
				in Oregon.
