credentials, may: (1) Enter upon any premises where seeds are processed, packed, or held for distribution,
during regular business hours, in order to have access to seeds and associated records
subject to this subchapter, and inspect any truck or other conveyor by land, water,
or air, at any time when the conveyor is accessible, for the same purpose. (2) Issue and enforce a written or printed “stop sale” order to the owner or custodian
of any lot of seed subject to the provisions of this subchapter that the Secretary
finds is in violation of any of the provisions of this subchapter. The order shall
prohibit further sale, processing, and movement of the seed, except on approval of
the Secretary, until the Secretary has issued a release from the “stop sale” order

shall have the right to request a hearing in writing before the Secretary within 15
