ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is announcing the

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

DATES: Effective July 1, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the December 12, 2016, Federal Register 
(81 FR 89428), AMS announced the designation of Amarillo to provide 
official services under the USGSA, effective October 1, 2016, to 
September 30, 2021. Subsequently, Amarillo asked AMS 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), AMS evaluated information regarding the designation 
criteria in section 7 U.S.C. 79 and determined that Amarillo is 
qualified to provide official weighing services in their currently 
assigned geographic area. Therefore, Amarillo's designation is amended 
to include Class X or Class Y weighing within their assigned geographic 
area, effective July 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021. Interested persons 
may obtain official services by contacting Amarillo at (806) 372-8511.

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

Administrator, Agricultural Marketing Service.
