8 CCR 1202-15 Part 10 - Inspections
10.1. All
PACFA-licensed facilities may be inspected upon application, change or addition
of a license category, facility remodel and routinely thereafter, and upon a
complaint to the Commissioner or the Department about a particular facility.
Only the portions of the facility used as a pet animal facility need meet the
requirements of this Rule.
10.2.
All licensees or applicants for licensure or license renewal must make their
facilities, animals, and records available to the Commissioner for inspection
during regular business hours. The licensee or applicant must also provide the
inspector with sufficient space to examine records and write the inspector's
report. If the licensee's or applicant's facilities, animals, procedures, or
records do not meet the requirements of PACFA or these Rules, the licensee or
applicant will be advised in writing of existing deficiencies and the
corrective measure that must be performed in a timely manner to be in
compliance with PACFA and these Rules. The licensee or applicant must submit a
written correction report within 20 days of receiving the inspection report.
Failure on three (3) inspections within any twelve month period will constitute
a separate violation.
10.3. Should
the licensee require the inspector to wear special clothing, or to perform
special sanitization measures beyond those specified in the Rules that follow,
the licensee must provide all such special clothing or special sanitization
measures at the licensee's own expense.
10.4. If a separate breeding room is provided
and there are birds in an active breeding cycle, the licensee must permit and
make available, at a minimum, a visual inspection from a window or other
non-invasive form of viewing.
10.5.
Neither an applicant for a license nor a licensee may interfere with, threaten,
abuse (including verbal abuse), or harass any inspector, or state or federal
official, while such inspectors or officials are carrying out their
duties.
10.6. Refusal to allow
reasonable access for inspection or complaint investigation may result in a
failed inspection and follow-up inspection under the authority of an
administrative search warrant.
