 214-e. Temporary  marketing  and manufacturing permits.  Any person,
  firm, partnership,  corporation  or  association  desiring  a  temporary
  permit  to deviate from an existing dairy or food standard or regulation
  may  file  with  the  commissioner  a  written  application  on  a  form
  prescribed  by  the  commissioner.  The  application  shall  include the
  following: (1) name and address of the applicant, (2) a full description
  of the proposed variation from the standard and the basis upon which the
  food so varying is believed to be wholesome and in the interest  of  the
  consumers.  This  description  shall  include  the names, amounts of all
  ingredients and a sample of the label, (3) if the resulting  product  is
  similar  to one for which there is now a definition, the applicant shall
  indicate the nature of the deviation and why it will be  of  benefit  to
  consumers,  (4)  the  applicant  shall  indicate  the time for which the
  permit is desired and how the  product  will  be  distributed,  (5)  the
  commissioner  must  also  receive  a statement of the probable amount of
  such food to be distributed, the areas of distribution and  the  address
  at  which  such  food  will  be  manufactured,  (6) the commissioner may
  require the applicant to furnish samples of the food  varying  from  the
  standard  and  to  furnish  such additional information as may be deemed
  necessary for action on the application, and (7) the  commissioner  may,
  in  issuing a temporary permit, specify a limited marketing area for the
  new food product under study and limit the time of such permit.
If the commissioner concludes that the variation may  be  advantageous
  to  consumers  and  will not result in a lowering of health standards or
  promote fraud and deception, a temporary permit may  be  issued  to  the
  applicant.  The  terms and conditions of such permit shall be binding on
  the applicant. The period that the permit shall be in effect shall be at
  the discretion of the commissioner but shall not exceed one year.
The commissioner may after  public  hearing,  revoke  the  permit  for
  cause,  which  shall  include  but  not be limited to the following: (1)
  violation by the permittee of the terms and conditions  of  the  permit,
  (2)  the application for permit contains an untrue statement of fact, or
  (3) the need therefore no longer exists.
