Abstract
The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is adopting, without change, the provisions of an interim rule extending the use of the currently approved near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) analyzers in its official inspection program to include testing of corn for oil, protein, and starch content as official criteria, and incorporating by reference the Corn Refiners Association Method A-20, Starch method, into the regulations. GIPSA is offering this service to meet a market demand for reliable official testing procedures created by anticipated increases in high-oil corn production.
