SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the December 9, 2014, Federal Register 
(79 FR 73027), GIPSA announced the designation of Hastings to provide 
official services under the USGSA, effective October 1, 2014, to

designation to include official weighing services. The USGSA authorizes

criteria in section 7 U.S.C. 79 and determined that Hastings is 
qualified to provide official weighing services in their currently 
assigned geographic area.
    Hastings' designation is amended to include Class X or Class Y 
weighing within their assigned geographic area, effective August 5, 
2016, to September 30, 2017. Interested persons may obtain official 
services by contacting Hastings at (402) 462-4254.
