FORM FGIS-921, INSPECTION LOG
An inspection log provides a record of sampling, inspection, and significant or unusual events
occurring during the loading or unloading of grain offered for inspection as a shiplot, unit train
lot, lash barge lot, or combined lot. Inspection logs are the source document for preparing
official certificates and any other report used to document the loading of the lot.
Record shiplot, unit train lot, lash barge lot, and combined-lot inspection information on Form
FGIS-921, "Inspection Log," and, if necessary, print additional pages of this sheet for
continuation of the loading. Inspection logs are used to record information obtained from
original inspections, reinspections, or appeal inspections performed on samples drawn during
loading or unloading or on the basis of file samples. Use of an inspection log does not preclude
the use or maintenance of other records (e.g., sample tickets).
The FGIS field office or official agency conducting the inspection shall retain the original copy
of the form. If the inspection is conducted by an official agency, one copy shall be sent to the
supervising field office. If requested, one or more copies shall be given to the applicant or to an
interested person.
