7 CFR Part 68

Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration

7 CFR Part 868


General Regulations and Standards for Certain Agricultural 
Commodities; Transfer of Regulations

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule reflects the redesignation of 7 CFR Part 68 as 7 CFR 
Part 868. The transfer of Part 68 from 7 CFR Chapter I to 7 CFR Chapter 
VIII as Part 868 is being undertaken to consolidate into one chapter 
the regulations of the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS), a 
program of the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration 
(GIPSA).

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 30, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Wollam, GIPSA-FGIS, USDA, Room 
0623 South Building, P.O. Box 96454, Washington, DC, 20090-6454; FAX/
(202) 720-4628; telephone (202) 720-0292.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards 
Administration (GIPSA), established by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
Secretary's Memorandum 1010-1, Reorganization of the Department of 
Agriculture, on October 20, 1994, is consolidating those regulations 
which the Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS), a program of GIPSA, 
is responsible for administering. The FGIS regulations are currently 
found in 7 CFR Chapter I part 68 and 7 CFR Chapter VIII. This rule 
reflects the transfer of Part 68 from Chapter I to Chapter VIII as Part 
868, thus consolidating all FGIS regulations within Chapter VIII.
    This rule relates to internal agency management. Therefore, 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553, noticed rulemaking and opportunity for 
comment are not required, and this rule may be made effective less than 
30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Further, since this 
rule relates to internal agency management, it is exempt from the 
provisions of Executive Order Nos. 12778 and 12868. Finally, this 
action is not a rule as defined by the Regulatory Flexibility Act., 
Pub. L. No. 96-354, and, thus, is exempt from the provisions of that 
Act.
