The Secretary of Agriculture may license qualified people to classify cotton after they show they are competent. The Secretary can suspend or revoke a license for incompetence, careless or improper classification, or violating this chapter's rules. The Secretary can also require licensees to post a bond and can set conditions for licensing and sampling.

To carry out this chapter, the Secretary of Agriculture may issue a license to classify cotton to any qualified person who shows enough evidence of competence. The Secretary may suspend or revoke that license if satisfied the licensee is incompetent, has classified cotton carelessly or improperly, has violated this chapter or its regulations, or has misused the license or let someone else misuse it. The Secretary may set, by regulation, the conditions for issuing licenses, and may require a licensed classifier to post a bond guaranteeing faithful performance of duties and protecting people affected by that work. The Secretary may also set conditions for how licensed samplers prepare cotton samples for classification by Department of Agriculture officers or by licensed cotton classifiers.

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.
