Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration
Designation of Champaign for the Jinks (IL) Area
AGENCY: Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration
(GIPSA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: GIPSA is designating Champaign-Danville Grain Inspection
Departments, Inc. (Champaign), to provide Class X and Class Y weighing
services under the United States Grain Standards Act, as amended (Act),
in the former Jinks Grain Weighing Service (Jinks) geographic area.
EFFECTIVE DATES: March 1, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Janet M. Hart, Chief, Review Branch, Compliance Division,
GIPSA, USDA, Room 1647 South Building, P.O. Box 96454, Washington, DC
20090-6454.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Janet M Hart, telephone 202-720-8525
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 October 31, 1994, Federal Register (59 FR 54427), GIPSA
asked persons interested in providing official services in the
geographic area assigned to Jinks to submit an application for
designation. Applications were due by September 30, 1994. Jinks, the
only applicant, applied for designation in the entire area they are
currently assigned.
GIPSA requested comments on the applicant in the January 3, 1995,
Federal Register (60 FR 96). Comments were due by January 31, 1995.
GIPSA received no comments by the deadline.
GIPSA evaluated all available information regarding the designation
criteria in Section 7(f)(l)(A) of the Act and determined that Jinks is
not able to provide official weighing services in the geographic area
for which they applied.
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
[[Page 8627]] area, if such agency is qualified under Section
7(f)(1)(A) of the Act. Champaign is already designated to provide
official inspection services in the former Jinks area and is willing to
provide official weighing services in that area. GIPSA evaluated all
available information regarding the designation criteria in Section
7(f)(l)(A) of the Act and determined that Champaign is able to provide
official weighing services in the geographic area for which they are
designated.
Effective March 1, 1995, and terminating upon the end of
Champaign's designation to provide official inspection services (May
31, 1995), Champaign's designation is amended to include Class X or
Class Y weighing in their assigned geographic area, as specified in the
December 2, 1994, Federal Register (59 FR 61868).
Interested persons may obtain official services by contacting
Champaign-Danville at 217-398-0723.
Authority: Pub. L. 94-582, 90 Stat. 2867, as amended (7 U.S.C.
71 et seq.)
Dated: February 8, 1995.
Neil E. Porter,
Director, Compliance Division.
