United States Warehouse Act--Official Media for Public 
Notification

AGENCY: Farm Service Agency, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces an official media system for all public 
notification of important amendments, notices, actions, issues, and 
activities regarding the United States Warehouse Act (USWA). This 
warehouse information will include the suspension or revocation of 
warehouse licenses, fees, draft and final documents and other pertinent 
information that is of public interest. This action is being taken to 
increase the public's awareness of the ongoing activities and functions 
under the USWA.

Background

    The Secretary of Agriculture has the authority to make available 
public information as deemed appropriate for interested parties. The 
FSA is designating a single website for this type of information to 
enhance the public's awareness of the activities and functions of the 
USWA. The following site has been designated as the USWA's official 
website where all USWA public information can be found: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/daco/uswa.htm.
    Also, starting in April 2003, FSA's Kansas City Commodity Office 
(KCCO) stopped mailing hard copies of public notices and USWA notices 
to the warehouse trade. To replace the mailing of hard copies, when 
notices are posted to USWA's official website KCCO will automatically 
e-mail them to everyone who has enrolled at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/daco/subscribe.asp.
