ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: GIPSA is announcing the designation of Fremont Grain

weighing services under the United States Grain Standards Act (USGSA), 
as amended.

DATES: Effective Date: November 9, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the August 24, 2016, Federal Register (81 
FR 57884), GIPSA announced the designation of Fremont to provide 
official services under the USGSA, effective July 1, 2016, to June 30, 
2021. Subsequently, Fremont asked GIPSA to amend their designation to 
include official weighing services. The USGSA authorizes the Secretary 
to designate authority to perform official weighing to an agency 
providing official inspection services within a specified geographic 
area, if such agency is qualified under 7 U.S.C. 79. Under 7 U.S.C. 
79(a), GIPSA evaluated information regarding the designation criteria 
in section 7 U.S.C. 79 and determined that Fremont is qualified to 
provide official weighing services in their currently assigned 
geographic area.
    Fremont's designation is amended to include Class X or Class Y 
weighing within their assigned geographic area, effective November 9, 
2016, to June 30, 2021. Interested persons may obtain official services 
by contacting Fremont at (402) 721-1270.

    Authority:  7 U.S.C. 71-87k.

Larry Mitchell,
Administrator, Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration.
