SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GIPSA
administers and enforces the P&S Act of
1921, (7 U.S.C. 181 et seq.). 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: ‘‘. . . 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 enclosures,
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 of Agriculture 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. Once the
Secretary provides notice to the
stockyard owner and the public, the
stockyard is 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.
To post a stockyard, we assign the
stockyard a facility number, notify the
stockyard owner, and send an official
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
posting notice to the stockyard owner to
display in a public area of the stockyard.
This process is referred to as ‘‘posting.’’
The date of posting is the date that the
posting notices are physically displayed
at the stockyard. A facility that does not
meet the definition of a stockyard is not
subject to the P&S Act, and therefore
cannot be posted. A posted stockyard
can be deposted, which occurs when the
facility is no longer used as a stockyard.
We are hereby notifying stockyard
owners and the public that the
following 17 stockyards meet the
definition of a stockyard, and that we
propose to designate these stockyards as
posted stockyards.
