Geographic Areas for Official Grain Inspection Services

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice of proposed updates to United States Grain Standards Act 
geographic area descriptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is issuing this 
notice to announce proposed updates to the boundaries of the geographic 
areas in which official service providers (OSP) perform official 
inspection and weighing services under a United States Grain Standards 
Act (USGSA) designation or delegation, and for purposes of cooperative 
service agreements under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA). 
The proposed updates are necessary due to changes in natural and man-
made landmarks, railroad lines, roads, and signs that were used in 
historical boundary descriptions.

DATES: Comments may be submitted on or before February 12, 2025.

ADDRESSES: To submit comments in response to this notice, go to 
Regulations.gov (https://www.regulations.gov). Instructions for 
submitting and reading comments are detailed on the site. All comments 
must be submitted through the Federal e-rulemaking portal at https://www.regulations.gov and should reference the document number and the 
date and page number of this issue of the Federal Register. All 
comments submitted in response to this notice will be included in the 
record and will be made available to the public. Please be advised that 
the identity of the individuals or entities submitting comments will be 
made public on the internet at the address provided above.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karla Whalen, Director, Quality 
Assurance and Compliance Division, Federal Grain Inspection Service, 
AMS, USDA; Telephone: (202) 720-7312; Email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agricultural Marketing Service's Federal 
Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) administers provisions of the USGSA and 
AMA that specify the conditions under which domestic grains, oilseeds, 
and legumes are sampled, inspected, weighed, and tested for domestic 
and export shipments. Under the provisions of these statutes, FGIS 
typically authorizes one OSP, through competitive application 
procedures, to perform official inspection services for customers 
within each geographic area of the United States as defined by the 
Secretary of Agriculture. This ensures effective and efficient delivery 
of official services to customers within each area and enhances the 
orderly marketing of grains, oilseeds, and legumes.
    Under the USGSA (7 U.S.C. 71-87k), official inspections at 
locations other than export port locations within a state may be 
performed by a designated state agency, local governmental agency, or 
qualified person. 7 U.S.C. 79(f). Official inspections at export port 
locations are performed by authorized USDA employees or delegated state 
agencies. 7 U.S.C. 79(e). Under the AMA (7 U.S.C. 1621-1633), the 
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to enter into cooperative 
agreements with states, state agencies, private firms, institutions, 
and individuals. 7 U.S.C. 1624(a).
    Designations under the USGSA are assigned for up to five years. 7 
U.S.C. 79(g). Prior to their expiration, AMS publishes a notice in the 
Federal Register announcing the geographic area or areas available for 
designation, describes the geographic area(s) available, and invites 
interested parties to apply for designation to provide services in 
those areas. Applications are reviewed and analyzed by AMS to determine 
which agency is better able to provide services in that geographic 
area. On occasion, AMS will amend a geographic area if more than one 
applicant is better able to serve parts of the area open for 
consideration. Delegations under the USGSA are ongoing after 
assignment, subject to certification by AMS every 5 years that the 
delegated state agency remains qualified and meets specified criteria. 
7 U.S.C. 79(e). For purposes of efficient administration, AMS also uses 
USGSA designation areas for cooperative service agreements under the 
AMA.
    Where possible, the boundaries of the geographic areas follow state 
or county lines. Occasionally, geographic areas include only portions 
of counties in an effort to evenly distribute grain merchandising 
locations among geographic areas. This is more common in the grain belt 
where the need for inspection services is most concentrated. Over time, 
some boundaries were adjusted to recognize historical agreements or 
accommodate the needs of OSPs or their customers.
    In some cases, geographic area boundaries have been defined by 
rivers, landmarks, or locally recognized roads within counties, rather 
than by state or county borders. Over the years, some of the landmarks, 
railroad lines, and roads that were used to define the boundaries of 
geographic areas have changed or disappeared, leaving some question as 
to the exact boundaries currently in use. Where possible, AMS utilizes 
more permanent boundaries, such as state and county lines, when 
updating the OSP geographic area descriptions.
    In October 2022, AMS completed a comprehensive review of the 
current geographic area descriptions for OSPs.\1\ During the review, 
AMS consulted with OSPs to obtain recommended changes and ensure the 
accuracy of updated area descriptions. Multiple efforts were made to 
involve each OSP; however, not all official agencies actively 
participated in this process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The report is available on AMS's website at https://www.ams.usda.gov/content/usda-publishes-review-geographic-area-boundaries-grain-inspection-weighing-posts-new-grain (last visited 
on October 9, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    AMS will update the geographic areas in the designation and 
delegation documents issued for current OSPs after any comments 
received have been considered. AMS will also publish a follow-up notice 
in the Federal Register to announce any changes to the geographic 
boundaries described in this notice.
    This notice identifies each of the current geographic areas 
assigned to an OSP in the United States; provides a proposed, updated 
description of the

[[Page 2665]]

area; and lists the current OSP assigned by FGIS to provide services in 
the area. As explained earlier, the geographic areas can shift over 
time in response to changes in industry service points and the ability 
of official agencies to provide services. Any such changes in the 
future will be announced in the Federal Register. Further, in instances 
where a specific service point within a geographic area becomes a 
service challenge for a customer, the customer can utilize the USGSA 
exceptions process as detailed at https://www.ams.usda.gov/services/fgis/usgsaexceptions.

Updated Geographic Area Descriptions and Official Service Providers

    The geographic areas described below are listed alphabetically by 
state. A proposed, updated geographic description is included for each 
area. Some geographic areas include one or more entire states, or 
entire counties within a state. Several areas include territory in more 
than one state. Some areas include partial counties, divided by named 
highways, roads, or waterways. Where possible, geographic areas are 
defined by state or county lines. In cases in which an area includes 
only part of a county or counties, the boundaries are identified by 
reference to highways, roads, waterways, and other landmarks.
    For uniformity in the descriptions below, highway and road 
designations follow typical naming conventions. For example, Interstate 
80 is written ``I-80,'' U.S. Route 54 is written ``US-54,'' Iowa State 
Route 21 is written ``IA-21,'' and County Road 14 is written ``CR-14.''
    The current OSP for each area is identified below. In some cases, 
grain elevators or customers within defined geographic areas are 
historically served by other than the designated OSP for that area. 
Such exclusions are listed below the OSP identified for each area. 
Where ports for export shipments exist within a geographic area, the 
OSP for export inspection services in that area is listed. Contact and 
other information, including the services offered by each OSP, is 
available on the AMS website at https://fgisonline.ams.usda.gov/MyFGIS/OSPDirectory/Index.
    Please note that FGIS also administers the AMA and its implementing 
regulations and instructions, including the provisions regarding 
cooperative agreements. Accordingly, this document also lists the 
geographic areas serviced under AMA cooperative agreements by three 
OSPs, namely, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, Oregon 
Department of Agriculture, and Wyoming Department of Agriculture.
    AMS requests comments for the following proposed, updated 
geographic area descriptions. Please note that the geographic areas are 
now identified by number. Numbers are assigned to the geographic areas
