Requests for information can be made by e-mail sent to: Jeana.M.Harbison@usda.gov; by phone at (202) 720–7363; or fax at (202) 690–3207. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) enforces the Packers and Stockyards Act of 1921 (P&S Act). Under authority granted the Secretary of Agriculture and delegated to us, we are authorized (7 U.S.C. 228) to make those regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of the P&S Act. The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill) tasked GIPSA with the responsibility of promulgating regulations with respect to the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921 (P&S Act) (7 U.S.C. 181 et seq.) to establish criteria to be considered in determining: 1. Whether an undue or unreasonable preference or advantage has occurred in violation of such Act; 2. Whether a live poultry dealer has provided reasonable notice to poultry growers of any suspension of the delivery of birds under a poultry growing arrangement; 3. When a requirement of additional capital investments over the life of a poultry growing arrangement or swine production contract constitutes a violation of such Act; and, 4. If a live poultry dealer or swine contractor has provided a reasonable period of time for a poultry grower or a swine production contract grower to remedy a breach of contract that could lead to termination of the poultry growing arrangement or swine production contract. The Farm Bill also requires that regulations be promulgated to implement new Section 210 of the P&S Act regarding the use of arbitration in production contract disputes. This specifically involves: 1. The right to decline arbitration when entering into a contract; 2. Disclosure of the right to decline arbitration; and 3. Choice of arbitration once a dispute arises if both parties agree in writing. We must also establish the criteria that the Secretary will consider in determining whether the arbitration VerDate Aug<31>2005 23:33 Oct 02, 2008 Jkt 217001 process provided in a production contract provides a meaningful opportunity for the grower or producer to participate fully in the arbitration process. Purpose: The purpose of these meetings is to gather information and recommendations from interested individuals and organizations regarding the promulgation of regulations concerning livestock and poultry production contracts, including swine production contracts and poultry growing arrangements as required by the Farm Bill. We wish to discuss and address existing problems, possible obstacles and potential solutions that would help us in the development of the regulations. Comments and suggestions received at this meeting may be used by GIPSA to draft the required regulations. Public Participation: While oral comments should be limited to five minutes, extended written comments may be submitted for the record. Members of the public may also submit written comments for distribution at a meeting without presenting oral comments. Such written comments should be sent by mail or fax machine to Jeana Harbison as above no later than October 10, 2008.
