N.D. Admin Code 74-03-01-17 - Interagency certification
Interagency certification is a procedure established to maintain certification eligibility of seed originating in another state.
1.
Field inspected in another state and
transferred to North Dakota for final certification.
a. North Dakota labelers may purchase seed
that passed field inspection in another state and complete final certification
and labeling in North Dakota. A certificate of transfer from the state in which
the seed originated must be submitted to the state seed department to verify
eligibility.
b. The labeler is
responsible for completing final certification. If conditioning is necessary, a
representative sample must be submitted to the state seed department along with
a completed sampler's report and a copy of the certificate of transfer. The
seed shall meet North Dakota seed standards for certification.
c. Interagency certification labels will be
issued by the North Dakota state seed department.
2.
Field inspected in North Dakota and
transferred to another state for final certification.
a. A seed producer may transfer seed that
passed field inspection in North Dakota to a purchaser in another state with
approval from the state seed department. The producer must submit a completed
certificate of transfer to the state seed department verifying eligibility of
the seed. Once approved, the state seed department will forward copies to the
purchaser and the official certification agency of the state where the seed is
destined.
b. The purchaser is
responsible for completing the requirements for certification with the
certification agency.
3.
Certified in another state and transferred to North Dakota for
relabeling.
a. Seed that has been
previously certified and labeled by an official certifying agency from another
state may be reconditioned, rebagged, and relabeled in North Dakota.
b. When the seed is reconditioned or
rebagged, a new sample must be submitted to the state seed department for
analysis. The North Dakota labeler must submit a certification label from the
state of origin as proof of eligibility along with a completed sampler's
report.
c. New interagency
certification labels will be issued by the state seed department.
Interagency seed lots not meeting North Dakota certification standards may require resampling or retesting to ensure compliance with North Dakota certification standards.
