DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

Agricultural Marketing Service 

[Doc. No. AMS–FGIS–24–0062] 

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 erulemaking 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: karla.whalen@usda.gov. 

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. 

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 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 7 / Monday, January 13, 2025 / Notices 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
