Designated agencies are State or local 

governmental agencies or persons 

designated under the USGSA to provide 

official inspection services, Class X or 

Class Y weighing services, or both, at 

locations other than export port 

locations. State and private agencies, as 

a requirement for delegation and/or 

designation, must comply with all 

regulations, procedures, and 

instructions in accordance with 

provisions established under the 

USGSA. FGIS field offices oversee the 

performance of these agencies and 

provide technical guidance as needed. 

Official services under the AMA are 

performed, upon request, on a fee basis 

for domestic and export shipments 

either by FGIS employees, individual 

contractors, or cooperators. Contractors 

are persons who enter into a contract 

with FGIS to perform specified 

sampling and inspection services. 

Cooperators are agencies or departments 

of the Federal Government which have 

an interagency agreement, State 

agencies, or other entities which have a 

reimbursable agreement with FGIS.
