Abstract
On August 11, 2003, the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) implemented new Subtitle B of Title II of the Packers and Stockyards Act, which was added by the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999 (1999 Act) by establishing the Swine Contract Library (SCL). The statutory authority for the library lapsed on September 30, 2005. On October 5, 2006, the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Reauthorization Act (Reauthorization Act) reauthorized the 1999 Act until September 30, 2010, and also amended the swine reporting requirements of the 1999 Act. This final rule re-establishes the regulatory authority for the SCL's continued operation and incorporates certain changes contained within the Reauthorization Act that impact the SCL, as well as makes other changes to enhance the SCL's overall effectiveness and efficiency in response to input from regulated entities and the public.
