NAC576.353. Amendment of certificate.

     1. If the holder of a certified producer’s certificate wishes to add an agricultural product of the soil to those listed on his certificate, he must submit to the Department, on a form prescribed by the Department, a separate application to amend the certificate for each plot of land on which an additional agricultural product of the soil will be grown. For the purposes of this section, a separate application is required for each plot of land on which an additional agricultural product of the soil will be grown if the plot of land is not contiguous to any other plot of land on which an agricultural product of the soil is grown that is listed on the certified producer’s certificate.

     2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, if a holder of a certified producer’s certificate wishes to amend the certificate pursuant to subsection 1, the holder must submit an application to amend the certificate at least 30 days before the harvest of any additional agricultural product of the soil. The Department may, in its discretion, waive the requirements set forth in this subsection.

     3. The application must include, without limitation:

     (a) The information required pursuant to subsection 2 of NAC 576.330;

     (b) An identification of each additional agricultural product of the soil that will be grown; and

     (c) A detailed map that indicates the location of the plot of land on which any additional agricultural product of the soil will be grown.

     4. The Department may waive the inspection of the plot of land that is indicated on the application to amend a certificate, which is required pursuant to NAC 576.340 to verify the production of each additional agricultural product of the soil, unless any agricultural product of the soil included on the application is substantially different from the agricultural products of the soil listed on the original certificate.

     5. If the Department approves an application to amend a certified producer’s certificate, the Department will issue an amended certificate which lists the additional agricultural products of the soil that will be grown. The amended certificate expires on the expiration date of the original certificate.
