Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration 

Posting of Stockyards

AGENCY: Grain Inspection, Packers and 

Stockyards Administration, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: We posted two stockyards. 

We determined that the stockyards meet 

the definition of a stockyard under the 

Packers and Stockyards Act and, 

therefore, needed to be posted. Posted 

stockyards are subject to the provisions 

of the Packers and Stockyards Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Grain 

Inspection, Packers and Stockyards 

Administration (GIPSA) administers 

and enforces the Packers and Stockyards 

Act of 1921, as amended and 

supplemented (7 U.S.C. 181–229) (P&S 

Act). The P&S Act prohibits unfair, 

deceptive, and fraudulent practices by 

livestock market agencies, dealers, 

stockyard owners, meat packers, swine 

contractors, and live poultry dealers in 

the livestock, poultry, and meatpacking 

industries. 

Section 302 of the P&S Act (7 U.S.C. 

202) defines the term ‘‘stockyard’’ as 

follows:

* * * any place, establishment, or facility 

commonly known as stockyards, conducted, 

operated, or managed for profit or nonprofit 

as a public market for livestock producers, 

feeders, market agencies, and buyers, 

consisting of pens, or other inclosures, and 

their appurtenances, in which live cattle, 

sheep, swine, horses, mules, or goats are 

received, held, or kept for sale or shipment 

in commerce.

Section 302 (b) of the P&S Act 

requires the Secretary to determine 

which stockyards meet this definition, 

and to notify the owner of the stockyard 

and the public of that determination by 

posting a notice in each designated 

stockyard. After giving notice to the 

stockyard owner and to the public, the 

stockyard remains subject to the 

provisions of Title III of the P&S Act (7 

U.S.C. 201–203 and 205–217a) until the 

Secretary deposts the stockyard by 

public notice. 

We published notices proposing to 

post the two stockyards on October 8, 

2001 and November 7, 2003 (66 FR 

52887 and 68 FR 63055–63056, 

respectively). We received no comments 

in response to either of these proposed 

posting notices. 

This document notifies the public that 

the following two stockyards meet the 

definition of stockyard and that we 

posted the stockyards. To post 

stockyards, we assign the stockyard a 

facility number, notify the owner of the 

stockyard facility, and send notices to 

the owner of the stockyard to post on 

display in public areas of the stockyard. 

The date of posting is the date on which 

the posting notices are physically 

displayed.
