SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the July 7, 2017, Federal Register (82 FR
30818), AMS announced the designation of Plainview to provide official
services under the USGSA, effective April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2022.
Subsequently, Plainview 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 7 U.S.C. 79
and determined that Plainview is qualified to provide official weighing
services in their currently assigned geographic area. Therefore,
Plainview's designation is amended to include Class X or Class Y
weighing within their assigned geographic area, effective January 1,
2022. Interested persons may obtain official services by contacting
Plainview at (806) 293-1364.
In the July 15, 2020, Federal Register (85 FR 42819), AMS requested
applications and public comment for designation to provide official
services in the geographic area presently serviced by North Dakota.
In the February 22, 2021, Federal Register (86 FR 10530-10531), AMS
requested applications and public comment for designation to provide
official services in the geographic areas presently serviced by
Champaign, Detroit, Eastern Iowa, Enid, Keokuk, Michigan, Omaha,
Fremont, Maryland, Amarillo, Cairo, Louisiana, North Carolina, Schaal,
and Utah.
In the October 21, 2021, Federal Register (86 FR 58247), AMS
requested applications for designation and public comment on the
quality of service provided by the official agencies in the geographic
areas presently serviced by Northeast Indiana, State Grain, Barton,
Farwell Southwest, Northern Plains, Plainview, and Sioux City.
The current official agencies for Amarillo; Barton; Cairo;
Champaign; Detroit; Eastern Iowa; Enid; Farwell Southwest; Keokuk;
Michigan; Omaha; Fremont; Louisiana; Maryland; Northeast Indiana;
Northern Plains; North Carolina; North Dakota; Plainview; Schaal; State
Grain; and Utah were the only applicants for designation to provide
official services in the areas open for designation.
The official agency previously servicing the West Lafayette,
Indiana, geographic area (Titus Grain Inspection, Inc. (Titus)) did not
seek to reapply for this area. In the June 28, 2021, Federal Register,
86 FR 33967, AMS asked persons interested in providing official U.S.
Grain Standards Act services in this geographic area to apply. This
area was applied for by two applicants: Champaign-Danville Grain
Inspection Departments (Champaign) and North Dakota Grain Inspection
Service, Inc. (North Dakota), which both applied for the entire West
Lafayette, Indiana territory. Both applicants are designated agencies
in good standing with AMS and the industry.
In analyzing the applications for the West Lafayette, Indiana,
geographic area, AMS evaluated the designation criteria in sec. 7(f) of
the USGSA, a recent audit report for each applicant detailing the
applicant's performance of the designation criteria and customers'
experience with the official service provider, public comments received
related to the designation opportunity notice, exceptions previously
assigned to the geographic area being applied for, as well as details
provided in the application. Applications generally include information
on an applicant's business plan to service the area, active licenses
and service availability, fees, overall service costs, and proximity to
customers and facilities.
Both Champaign and North Dakota are meeting the designation
criteria established under the USGSA, and are operating with comparable
costs for most service requests. In consideration of this, AMS
determined that splitting the West Lafayette, Indiana, geographic area
between the two applicants is the best option. By splitting the
geographic area between the applicants, and
[[Page 67856]]
assigning them to the contiguous areas of their existing designations,
they are better able to serve the new territory. Accordingly, each
applicant is awarded a newly defined geographic area. The new area
allows for an expansion of each applicant's existing geographic area
without overlapping boundaries or isolating customers or territory
within another official service provider's geographic area. Originally,
the West Lafayette, Indiana, geographic area that was designated to
Titus included permanent exceptions (designated grain elevators) that
were located within both Champaign's and North Dakota's geographic
areas. Now, all permanent exception locations originally designated to
Titus are awarded to the applicant in whose geographic area the
facilities are located.
The territory has been divided and awarded in part to two official
agencies: Champaign-Danville Grain Inspection Department, Inc., and
North Dakota Grain Inspection Service, Inc. Updated Appendix A
geographic areas are listed below:
<bullet> Champaign-Danville Grain Inspection Department: In
Indiana: Benton (east of U.S. Route 41), Jasper (south of U.S. Route
24), Newton (east of State Route 55 and south of U.S. Route 24),
Pulaski; Warren (east of U.S. Route 41), and White Counties.
<bullet> North Dakota Grain Inspection Service, Inc.: In Indiana:
Carroll (north of State Route 25), Fountain (east of U.S. Route 41),
and Tippecanoe Counties.
In the October 22, 2021, notice published in the Federal Register
(86 FR 58247), AMS asked persons interested in providing official U.S.
Grain Standards Act services to the Sioux City, Iowa, designation area
to apply. AMS received two applications for this area: Sioux City and
Schaal. Sioux City applied for the entire geographic area, and Schaal
applied for elevators that were designated under Sioux City as
permanent exceptions but physically located within Schaal's geographic
area description. Both applicants are designated agencies in good
standing with AMS and the industry. The dually applied-for elevators
include:
<bullet> In Iowa, Maxyield Coop--Algona, Kossuth County; Stateline
Coop--Burt, Kossuth County; Gold-Eagle--Goldfield and North Central
Coop--Holmes, Wright County; Agvantage F.S.--Chapin, Franklin County;
and Five Star Coop--Rockwell, Cerro Gordo County.
In analyzing the applications for the Sioux City, Iowa, geographic
area, AMS evaluated the designation criteria in sec. 7(f) of the USGSA,
a recent audit report for each applicant detailing the applicant's
performance of the designation criteria and customers' experience with
the official service provider, public comments received related to the
designation opportunity notice, and exceptions previously assigned to
the geographic area being applied for, as well as details provided in
the application. Applications generally include information on an
applicant's business plan to service the area, active licenses and
service availability, fees, overall service costs, and proximity to
customers and facilities.
AMS determined that awarding the six specified elevator locations
to Schaal and the remaining geographical area to the incumbent, Sioux
City, is the best manner to continue servicing the area. Of the six
elevator locations identified, only Stateline Coop and AgVantage FS are
currently active. The six forementioned elevator locations are
physically located within the boundaries of Schaal's geographic area
description, since this designation area commenced as noted in the May
21, 1980, notice in the Federal Register, 45 FR 34245. However, these
elevator locations were designated to other entities at the time the
original geographic areas were assigned. Over the past four decades,
the original servicing entities have changed and ultimately were
replaced by Sioux City.
Through an FGIS pilot program in 1995, and per customer request,
Schaal was permitted to service the two active elevators. Subsequently,
the 2018 Appropriations Bill again affected how exceptions were
managed, and Schaal was permitted to continue servicing those elevators
under non-use-of-service exceptions as requested by its customers.
At the time the Sioux City, Iowa, designation area opportunity
notice published, Sioux City was not providing official services for
any of the six specified elevator locations located within Schaal's
geographic area description. Current customers were satisfied with
Schaal's service. Considering all available information and factors, as
identified above, AMS determined that these excepted elevators would be
awarded and designated to Schaal as applied for and as currently being
serviced.
Effective April 1, 2022, these elevators were removed from Sioux
City's designation area and added to Schaal's designation. The
remaining geographic area was awarded to Sioux City effective April 1,
2022.
AMS evaluated the designation criteria in sec. 7(f) of the USGSA (7
U.S.C. 79(f)) and determined, based on its designation reviews, that
the following agencies are qualified to provide official services in
the specific geographic areas and timeframes noted below:

Sec. 7(f) of the USGSA authorizes the Secretary to designate a
qualified applicant to provide official services in a specified area
after determining that the applicant is better able than any other
applicant to provide such official services (7 U.S.C. 79(f)). A
designated agency may provide official inspection services and/or Class
X or Class Y weighing services at locations other than port locations.
Under sec. 7(g) of the USGSA, designations of official agencies are
effective for no longer than five years, unless terminated by the
Secretary, and may be renewed according to the criteria and procedures
prescribed in sec. 7(f) of the USGSA. See also 7 CFR 800.196 for
further information and guidance. If you would like to view the
applications for these areas, please contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4600010f1517070502063335222768212930"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="dd9b9a948e8c9c9e999da8aeb9bcf3bab2ab">[email protected]</span></a>.
Please note that sampling, weighing, and inspection services may be
offered by designated agencies under the Agricultural Marketing Act of
1946 for other commodities under the auspices of FGIS through separate
cooperative agreements with AMS. The service area for such cooperative
agreements mirrors the USGSA designation area. For further information,
see 7 U.S.C. 1621 et seq. or contact <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4600010f1517070502063335222768212930"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e0a6a7a9b3b1a1a3a4a095938481ce878f96">[email protected]</span></a>.
