When used in the Oklahoma Agricultural Liming Materials Act:
1. "Agricultural liming material" means a product whose calcium and magnesium compounds are capable of neutralizing soil acidity;
2. "Brand" means the term, designation, trademark, product name, or other specific designation under which an individual agricultural liming material is offered for sale;
3. "Bulk" means liquid or solid liming material in a nonpackaged form;
4. "Burnt lime" means a calcined material comprised chiefly of calcium oxide in natural association with lesser amounts of magnesium and is capable of slaking with water;
5. "Calcium Carbonate Equivalent" (CCE) means the acid neutralizing capacity of an agricultural liming material expressed as weight percentage of calcium carbonate;
6. "Effective Calcium Carbonate Equivalent" (ECCE) is the percent of calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) multiplied by the "fineness factor";
7. "Fineness" means the percentage by weight of the material passing U.S. standard sieves of specified sizes. The State Board of Agriculture shall promulgate rules relating to fineness and shall be guided by the American Society for Testing Materials specification for sieve sizes;
8. "Fineness factor" is the degree of fineness of the liming material used and shall be determined as prescribed by rules;
9. "Guarantor" means a person responsible to the Board for any claims or guarantees associated with the manufacture, distribution, and use of agricultural liming materials;
10. "Hydrated lime" means a dry material made from burnt lime;
11. "Industrial coproducts" means any industrial waste or by-product containing calcium or calcium and magnesium in forms that will neutralize soil acidity and it may be designated by prefixing the name of the industry or process used for its production;
12. "Label" means any written or printed matter on or attached to the package or on the delivery ticket or invoice which accompanies bulk shipments;
13. "Limestone" means a material consisting essentially of calcium carbonate or a combination of calcium carbonate with magnesium carbonate capable of neutralizing soil acidity;
14. "Marl" means a granular or loosely consolidated earthy material composed largely of sea shell fragments and calcium carbonate;
15. "Percent" or "percentage" means by weight; and
16. "Registrant" means the person registering agricultural liming materials pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Agricultural Liming Materials Act.
