U.S. Code as of:
01/03/05
Section 53. Licensing classifiers; revocation and suspension of license
The Secretary of Agriculture may, upon presentation of
satisfactory evidence of competency, issue to any person a license
to grade or otherwise classify cotton and to certificate the grade
or other class thereof in accordance with the official cotton
standards of the United States. Any such license may be suspended
or revoked by the Secretary of Agriculture whenever he is
satisfied, after reasonable opportunity afforded to the licensee
for a hearing, that such licensee is incompetent or has knowingly
or carelessly classified cotton improperly, or has violated any
provision of this chapter or the regulations thereunder so far as
the same may relate to him, or has used his license or allowed it
to be used for any improper purpose. Pending investigation the
Secretary of Agriculture, whenever he deems necessary, may suspend
a license temporarily without a hearing.
