Article 1: COMMERCIAL STANDARD FOR MAINE WHITE-CEDAR SHINGLES
§8831. Registration
The privilege to use the Maine Commercial Standard grades shall depend on proper mill registration with the bureau and the assignment by the director of a MCST mill number to the shingle producer. The initial mill registration fee shall be $25 for each Maine shingle mill desiring to identify their shingles as being of Maine Commercial Standard with the right given to imprint the letters "MCST" on their bundles of northern white-cedar shingles, as well as their registered mill number. Subsequent annual registration fees shall be $10 for each calendar year payable to the bureau before January of that year. Registration fees shall be credited to the General Fund. [1979, c. 545, §3 (NEW).]
Those mills who wish to follow the grade names as given in section 8824 may do so, but those who are unwilling to agree to the specifications of each grade as to measurements, tolerances, defects and definitions, including dimensions of shingles and bundles, shall not imprint either the letters "MCST" or a registered mill number on the bundle, band, tie or on any label affixed to the bundle or shingle. Nor will such unwilling mill state, imply or infer that the shingles they are selling are Maine Commercial Standard (MCST) shingles in correspondence, publicity or solicitations. [1979, c. 545, §3 (NEW).]
