The regulations governing the voluntary inspection and grading program

the individuals responsible for payment of the grading or equipment
evaluation fee and expense; and to identify the person responsible for
administering the grade label program. The Agriculture Marketing
service will use several forms to collect essential information to
carry out and administer the inspection and grading program.
