cotton warehouses. Amendment 2 to the CCC Cotton Storage Agreement 
updates Part III, S., Delivery and Shipping Standard, to reflect the 
changes in 7 CFR 1423.11. The new Section S redefines the minimum

time during the crop year. A new mandatory reporting requirement is 
also included. This provision applies to all cotton shipped from the 
warehouse. Questions regarding Amendment 2, or any other aspects of the 
CCC Cotton Storage Agreement, should be addressed to Paul Rodriguez at 
the Kansas City Commodity Office (816) 929-6662 or e-mail
