A. No person shall manufacture a commercial or customer-formula feed for distribution in this state unless he has registered with the commission by filing on forms provided by the commissioner his name, state of incorporation if incorporated, the location of his principal place of business, and the location of each manufacturing facility in this state when such facilities are so located.  Registration shall be renewed annually on July first.  Renewal of registration may be denied by the commissioner for cause.  A distributor may apply to the commission for registration as a manufacturer and for authority to label feeds for sale in this state.  All provisions applicable to a manufacturer shall then apply to the distributor.

B.  Registration shall authorize the registrant to distribute in this state any commercial feed for which a label has been approved by the commissioner.

C.  No person registering with the commission shall manufacture for distribution in this state or distribute a commercial feed which has not been approved as to labeling pursuant to the provisions of La. Rev. Stat. 3:1394 and such additional regulations of the commission as may be adopted from time to time.

D.  Approved labeling shall authorize a registrant to manufacture, sell, or offer for sale in this state a particular commercial feed.

E.  The commissioner may refuse approval of the label of any commercial feed not in compliance with the provisions of this Part and may revoke approval of any registration or approval of any label when a commercial feed is found not to be in compliance with any provision of this Part.  No registration or label shall be revoked or canceled unless the registrant shall have been given an opportunity to be heard before the commission and to amend his application or label in order to comply with the requirements of this Part.
