SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

action has been reviewed and 

determined not to be a rule or regulation 

as defined in Executive Order 12866 

and Departmental Regulation 1512–1; 

therefore, the Executive Order and 

Departmental Regulation do not apply 

to this action. 

Section 7(f)(1) of the Act authorizes 

GIPSA’s Administrator 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. GIPSA designated 

Global, headquarters in Fort Worth, 

Texas, to provide official inspection 

services under the Act effective May 1, 

2005, and terminating November 30, 

2006. 

Section 7(g)(1) of the Act provides 

that designations of official agencies 

will end not later than triennially and 

may be renewed according to the 

criteria and procedures prescribed in 

Section 7(f) of the Act. Global’s 

designation ends November 30, 2006, 

according to the Act. However, Global 

asked GIPSA for a voluntary 

cancellation of their designation 

effective April 9, 2006. Accordingly, 

Global’s designation will cease effective 

April 9, 2006, and GIPSA is asking for 

applicants to provide domestic official 

inspection services. 

Pursuant to Section (7)(2) of the Act, 

the following geographic area, in the 

State of Texas, is assigned to Global. 

Bounded on the north by the northern 

Jack, Wise, Denton, Collin, Hunt, Delta, 

Franklin, Titus, Morris, and Marion 

County line east to the Texas State line; 

Bounded on the east by the eastern 

Texas State line south to the southern 

Texas State line; Bounded on the south 

by the southern Texas State line west to 

the western Val Verde County line; 

Bounded on the west by the western Val 

Verde, Edwards, Kimble, Mason, San 

Saba, Mills, Comanche, Erath, Palo 

Pinto, and Jack County lines north to the 

northern Jack County line. 

Global’s assigned geographic area 

does not include the export port 

locations inside Global’s area which are 

serviced by GIPSA. Interested persons 

are hereby given the opportunity to 

apply for designation to provide official 

services in the geographic areas 

specified above under provisions of 

Section 7(f) of the Act and section 

800.196(d) of the regulations issued 

thereunder. Persons wishing to apply 

for designation should contact the 

Compliance Division at the address 

listed above for forms and information,
