license(s) for the conduct of a warehouse under the United States Warehouse Act (Pub. L. 106 - 472) (7 U.S.C. 241 - 256) (the Act), the

regulations promulgated thereunder, and the licensing agreements applicable to the above-named agricultural product(s); and

and conditions of the Act, and the regulations and the licensing agreements, so far as they may relate to the principal; and


(c) The Act provides that each warehouse operator applying for a license to conduct a warehouse for the storage of the above-specified

agricultural product(s) in accordance with the Act must, as a condition to the granting of the license, execute and file with the Secretary of
