Proposed Posting, Posting, and
Deposting of Stockyards
Grain Inspection, Packers and
Stockyards Administration, USDA.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This notice announces several
actions related to posting of stockyards;
when required we physically post a sign
providing public notice that the
stockyard is subject to provisions of the
Packers and Stockyards Act. We
propose to post 10 stockyards. We have
received information that these
stockyards meet the definition of a
stockyard under the Packers and
Stockyards Act and, therefore, need to
be posted. Posted stockyards are subject
to the provisions of the Packers and
Stockyards Act. In addition, we have
posted 12 stockyards that were
previously announced as proposed
postings. We determined that the
stockyards meet the definition of a
stockyard under the Packers and
Stockyards Act and, therefore, have
been posted. Three other facilities, for
which notices of proposed posting were
announced, were not posted because
they no longer meet the definition of a
stockyard. These facilities were either
abandoned or underwent a change so
they no longer function as a stockyard.
We are also deposting two stockyards.
These facilities can no longer be used as
stockyards and, therefore, are no longer
required to be posted.
DATES: For the proposed posting of
stockyards, we will consider comments
that we receive by February 7, 2007.
For the deposted stockyards, the
deposting is effective on January 23,
2007.
ADDRESSES: We invite you to submit

The Grain
Inspection, Packers and Stockyards
Administration (GIPSA) administers
and enforces the Packers and Stockyards
Act of 1921, (7 U.S.C. 181–229) (P&S
Act). The P&S Act prohibits unfair,
deceptive, and fraudulent practices by
livestock market agencies, dealers,
stockyard owners, meat packers, swine
contractors, and live poultry dealers in
the livestock, poultry, and meatpacking
industries.
Section 302 of the P&S Act (7 U.S.C.
202) defines the term ‘‘stockyard’’ as
follows:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
* * * any place, establishment, or facility
commonly known as stockyards, conducted,
operated, or managed for profit or nonprofit
as a public market for livestock producers,
feeders, market agencies, and buyers,
consisting of pens, or other inclosures, and
their appurtenances, in which live cattle,
sheep, swine, horses, mules, or goats are
received, held, or kept for sale or shipment
in commerce.
Section 302 (b) of the P&S Act
requires the Secretary to determine
which stockyards meet this definition,
and to notify the owner of the stockyard
and the public of that determination by
posting a notice in each designated
stockyard. After giving notice to the
stockyard owner and to the public, the
stockyard will be subject to the
provisions of Title III of the P&S Act (7
U.S.C. 201–203 and 205–217a) until the
Secretary deposts the stockyard by
public notice.
This document notifies the stockyard
owners and the public that the
following 10 stockyards meet the
definition of a stockyard and that we
propose to designate these stockyards as
posted stockyards.

public that the following stockyards
meet the definition of a stockyard and
that we have posted the stockyards. We

comments in response to these proposed
posting notices. To post a stockyard, we
assign the stockyard a facility number,
notify the owner of the stockyard
facility, and send notices to the owner
of the stockyard to post on display in
public areas of the stockyard. The date
of posting is the date on which the
posting notices are physically

Proposed Posting, Posting, and Deposting of Stockyards
AGENCY: Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, USDA.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces several actions related to posting of
stockyards; when required we physically post a sign providing public
notice that the stockyard is subject to provisions of the Packers and
Stockyards Act. We propose to post 10 stockyards. We have received
information that these stockyards meet the definition of a stockyard
under the Packers and Stockyards Act and, therefore, need to be posted.
Posted stockyards are subject to the provisions of the Packers and
Stockyards Act. In addition, we have posted 12 stockyards that were
previously announced as proposed postings. We determined that the
stockyards meet the definition of a stockyard under the Packers and
Stockyards Act and, therefore, have been posted. Three other
facilities, for which notices of proposed posting were announced, were
not posted because they no longer meet the definition of a stockyard.
These facilities were either abandoned or underwent a change so they no
longer function as a stockyard. We are also deposting two stockyards.
These facilities can no longer be used as stockyards and, therefore,
are no longer required to be posted.
DATES: For the proposed posting of stockyards, we will consider
comments that we receive by February 7, 2007.
For the deposted stockyards, the deposting is effective on January
23, 2007.
