Section 1806 of bill S. 1217 outlines the procedures for inspections. 
An inspector upon presenting appropriate credentials to the owner,

reasonable grounds to believe that recombinant DNA activities are 
being conducted or products of such activities are present or being 
produced or in which records' pertaining to such activities or prod- 
ucts are kept is authorized to enter that facility at reasonable times 
and inspect at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner the facility 
and all things at (or being transported to or from) that facility which 
he has reasonable grounds to believe are involved with recombinant 
DNA activities or the biological or chemical products of such activi- 
ties and obtain appropriate samples of such things. The inspection 
may extend to relevant equipment, materials, containers, records, 
files, papers, processes, controls, facilities and all other things in the 
facility bearing on whether the recombinant DNA activities are being 
conducted or the biological or chemical products of such activities 
are being used or possessed. Upon completion of an inspection an in- 
spector shall before he leaves the facility inform the owner, operator, 
or agent in charge of the facility of any conditions or practices which 
in the inspector’s judgment constitute a violation of any of the require- 
ments of this bill and the inspector shall post a written notice of such 
violations in a place in the facility which is readily accessible to the 
employees of the facility. Any information provided to the owner, 
operator, or agent in charge of the facility by the inspector or posted 
prior to the written final report shall not be legally binding on the 
inspector or the Commission and shall not be a limitation on the 
inspector or the Commission. The inspector shall prepare a written 
final report of his findings and send it to the owner, operator, or agent 
in charge of the facility within thirty days of the completion of the 
inspection. 
Upon receipt of the report the owner, operator, or agent in charge 
of the facility shall post a copy of the report in the same place as the 
initial written notice is placed. No inspector authorized under this 
Section shall be required to obtain a search warrant or a warrant for 
seizure from 'any judicial official prior to entering any facility and 
conducting any inspection or seizure of recombinant DNA or the 
biological or chemical products of recombinant DNA activities.
