The fee for each such examination shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of subsection 3 of this section.
3. Any warehouseman may request additional examinations at the expense of the warehouseman.

4. Upon completion of any examination which reveals a failure to comply with this chapter or regulations promulgated hereunder, the director or any warehouse auditor, within a reasonable time, shall present a written discrepancy report to the warehouseman, his employee or agent. The report shall specify the areas of noncompliance and shall give a specific period of time within which corrective action is to be taken. Such period of time shall be both reasonable and practicable under the circumstance. A report of that corrective action shall be sent to the director by the warehouseman. If, after further examination, the discrepancy still exists, the director may modify, suspend, or revoke the warehouseman's license, or the director may take whatever other action he deems necessary, consistent with the provisions of this chapter, until the warehouseman has corrected the discrepancy.
