7 U.S.C. § 595 — Fees for inspection and certification; certificates as prima facie evidence
submitted 66 years ago by Pub. L. 86-687 to r/title-7-AGRICULTURE · 144 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary must collect a reasonable fee for inspecting and certifying grapes or plums, generally enough to cover the service. If satisfactory cooperative arrangements cannot be made, the fees remain available for the service and vehicle-spending limits do not apply; USDA certificates are prima facie evidence in Federal courts.
For inspecting and certifying grape or plum grade, quality, or condition, the Secretary* must collect a reasonable fee that nearly covers the service cost. If satisfactory cooperative arrangements cannot be made, the fees remain available until spent for the service, and limits on buying and maintaining motor-propelled passenger vehicles do not apply. Certificates from authorized USDA agents must be accepted in every United States court as prima facie evidence that their statements are true.
For inspecting and certifying the grade, quality, or condition of grapes* or plums* the Secretary* shall cause to be collected a reasonable fee which shall, as nearly as may be, cover the cost of the service rendered: Provided, That when cooperative arrangements satisfactory to the Secretary, or his designated representative, for carrying out the purposes of this chapter cannot be made the fees collected hereunder in such cases shall be available until expended to defray the cost of the service rendered, and in such cases the limitations on the amounts expended for the purchase and maintenance of motor-propelled passenger-carrying vehicles shall not be applicable: Provided further, That certificates issued by the authorized agents of the United States Department of Agriculture shall be received in all courts of the United States as prima facie evidence of the truth of the statements therein contained.
