Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 2

A. An inspection fee at the rate of fifteen cents ($0.15) per

ton shall be paid on commercial feeds and/or feed ingredients

distributed in this state by the person whose name appears on the

label as the manufacturer, guarantor, or distributor, except that a

person other than the manufacturer, guarantor, or distributor may

assume liability for the inspection fee, subject to the following:

1. No fee shall be paid on a commercial feed if the payment has

been made by a previous distributor;

2. The minimum inspection fee shall be Ten Dollars ($10.00)

semi-annually;

3. No fee shall be paid on commercial feeds or feed ingredients

used in customer-formula feeds if the inspection fee has been

previously paid on those ingredients; and

4. No fee shall be paid on customer-formula feed ingredients

that have been furnished by the final purchaser on which a

processing fee has been paid.

B. Each person who is liable for the payment of the fee shall:

1. File, not later than the last day of January and July of

each year, a semi-annual statement listing the number of net tons of

commercial feeds distributed in this state during the preceding

semi-annual period; and upon filing the statement shall pay the

inspection fee at the rate stated in subsection A of this section.

Inspection fees which are due and have not been remitted to the

State Board of Agriculture within fifteen (15) days following the

date due shall have a penalty fee of ten percent (10%) (Fifty

Dollars ($50.00) minimum) added to the amount due when payment is

finally made. The assessment of this penalty fee shall not prevent

the Board from taking other actions as provided in this act; and

2. Keep records required by the Board to indicate accurately

the tonnage of commercial feed distributed in this state, and the

Board shall have the right to examine these records to verify

statements of tonnage. Failure to make an accurate statement of

tonnage, failure to pay the inspection fee, or falsifying

information or failure to comply shall constitute sufficient cause

for the cancellation of the commercial feed license.

C. Fees collected shall be deposited with the State Department

of Agriculture Revolving Fund.

D. If the Board finds any deficient inspection fees due, as a

result of an audit of the records of any person subject to the

provisions of the Oklahoma Commercial Feed Law, the Board shall

assess a penalty fee of ten percent (10%) maximum not to exceed Two

Thousand Dollars ($2,000.00) of amount due, or One Hundred Dollars

($100.00), whichever is greater. The audit penalty shall be added

to the deficient inspection fees due and payment made within thirty

(30) days.
