the United States Grain Standards Act, as amended (Act), in the Mid-
Iowa geographic area.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 15, 1994.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    This action has been reviewed and determined not to be a rule or 
regulation as defined in Executive Order 12866 and Departmental 
Regulation 1512-1; therefore, the Executive Order and Departmental 
Regulation do not apply to this action.
    In the September 1, 1993, Federal Register (58 FR 46157), GIPSA 
announced the designation of Mid-Iowa to provide official inspection 
services under the Act, effective October 1, 1993, and ending September 
30, 1996. Subsequently, Mid-Iowa asked GIPSA to amend their designation 
to include official weighing services. Section 7A(c)(2) of the Act 
authorizes GIPSA's Administrator to designate authority to perform 
official weighing to an agency providing official inspection services 
within a specified geographic area, if such agency is qualified under 
Section 7(f)(1)(A) of the Act. GIPSA evaluated all available 
information regarding the designation criteria in Section 7(f)(1)(A) of 
the Act, and determined that Mid-Iowa is qualified to provide official 
weighing services in their currently assigned geographic area.
    Effective November 16, 1994, and terminating September 30, 1996 
(the end of Mid-Iowa's designation to provide official inspection 
services), Mid-Iowa's present designation is amended to include Class X 
or Class Y weighing within their assigned geographic area, as specified 
in the March 31, 1993, Federal Register (58 FR 16810). Official 
services may be obtained by contacting Mid-Iowa at 319-363-0239.

    Authority: Pub. L. 94-582, 90 Stat. 2867, as amended (7 U.S.C. 
71 et seq.).

    Dated: December 1, 1994.
