(1) An application for endophyte fungus testing shall be made on a form prescribed by the Department, which shall include the consent of the applicant for the Department to enter premises in order to obtain seed samples for testing purposes. (2) At the time seed samples are obtained, unless the Department specifies a later time, the applicant shall pay to the Department a fee as set forth in 603-052-1150. The fees specified in this rule are for the purpose of defraying expenses incurred by the Department, and any other cooperating agency, in carrying out the sampling and testing procedures to determine the existence of endophyte fungus in forage grass seed, and payment of the fee shall not be construed as granting any right or privilege to an applicant.
