Instructions For 

Monthly Report: Estimates of Swine to be Delivered Under Contract 

(PSP Form 341) 

Packers as defined in 9 CFR 206.1 must use form P&SP-341 to submit monthly estimates of 

swine to be delivered under contract. 

Reports must be received by the close of business on the 15th of each month. If the 15th day of a 

month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday, the monthly report is due no later than the 

close of the next business day following the 15th. 

Packers must complete a separate monthly report for each plant that meets the definition of a 

packer in 9 CFR 206.1. 

Each example contract is classified when submitted. Each existing contract represented by the 

submitted example contract will be classified the same. 

Packers may obtain a waiver for the requirement to file monthly reports if they do not use 

marketing agreements to procure hogs (i.e. the monthly report would consist of zero estimated 

deliveries under existing contracts). Requests must be submitted in writing and include a 

statement that the packer does not procure swine using marketing agreements. Send the waiver 

request to address listed below. If the waiver request is approved, GIPSA will provide a written 

document granting a waiver for 12 months. If the packer begins using marketing agreements 

during the waiver period, the waiver becomes void and the packer must begin submitting 

monthly reports.
