The Secretary shall issue licenses to dealers and exhibitors upon
application therefor in such form and manner as he may prescribe
and upon payment of such fee established pursuant to 2153 of this

store or other person who derives less than a substantial portion
of his income (as determined by the Secretary) from the breeding

to obtain a license as a dealer or exhibitor under this chapter.
The Secretary is further authorized to license, as dealers or
exhibitors, persons who do not qualify as dealers or exhibitors
within the meaning of this chapter upon such persons' complying
