36632. (a) Upon the request of any interested person, the director may, following a properly noticed hearing, pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 36634, grant a temporary standard for an initial period of one year. A temporary standard may be granted for a new milk product or a new product resembling a milk product. However, in no case shall a temporary standard be granted for a product for which a definition and standard was contained in a bill which was not enacted during the immediately preceding session of the Legislature. A hearing called pursuant to this section shall be by written brief, unless an oral hearing is specifically requested by an interested person.
(b) The petition shall include a proposed definition, standard, nomenclature, and label for the new product. The petition shall also address the relation between the proposed product and existing definitions and standards established for comparable products.
(Amended by Stats. 1989, Ch. 758, Sec. 2.)
