persons interested in providing official services in the geographic
areas assigned to Amarillo, Schaal, and Wisconsin to submit an
application for designation. There were four applicants: Amarillo and
Schaal applied for designation to provide official inspection services
in the entire areas currently assigned to them; A. V. Tischer and Son,
Inc. (Tischer), applied for the portions of Schaal s area that does not
include the grain elevators that are located inside Schaal s area; and
Wisconsin applied for designation to provide official inspection and
Class X and Y weighing services in the entire area currently assigned
to them.
GIPSA is publishing this notice to provide interested persons the
opportunity to present comments concerning the applicants. Commenters
are encouraged to submit reasons and pertinent data for support or
objection to the designation of these applicants. All comments must be
submitted to the Compliance Division at the above address. Comments and
other available information will be considered in making a final
decision. GIPSA will publish notice of the final decision in the
Federal Register, and GIPSA will send the applicants written
notification of the decision.
