Abstract
The Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is amending the regulations under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, as amended and supplemented (P&S Act), regarding the registration of market agencies and dealers. Under the current regulations, there is no expiration date or renewal process for the registration of a market agency or dealer under the P&S Act. Under this final rule, a market agency or dealer's registration will not expire, provided that the market agency or dealer timely files its annual reports with GIPSA. This action will further assist USDA in regulating the business operations of market agencies and dealers through the effective enforcement of the P&S Act.
