AGENCY:

Inspection, Inc. (Aberdeen); Hastings
Grain Inspection, Inc. (Hastings); and
the Missouri Department of Agriculture
(Missouri) to provide official services
under the United States Grain Standards
SUMMARY:
Act (USGSA), as amended. The
realignment of offices within the U.S.
Department of Agriculture authorized
by the Secretary’s Memorandum dated
November 14, 2017, eliminates the
Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyard
Administration (GIPSA) as a standalone
agency. The grain inspection activities
formerly part of GIPSA are now
organized under the Agricultural
Marketing Service (AMS).
DATES: October 1, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Jacob Thein, Compliance
Officer, USDA, AMS, FGIS, QACD,
10383 North Ambassador Drive, Kansas

22, 2017, and May 30, 2017, Federal
Register (82 FR 23174) and (82 FR
24671–24673), GIPSA requested
applications for designation to provide
official services in the geographic areas
presently serviced by Aberdeen,
Hastings, and Missouri. Applications for
Missouri were due by June 21, 2017.
Applications for Aberdeen and Hastings
were due by June 29, 2017.
Because the current official agencies,
Aberdeen, Hastings, and Missouri were
the only applicants for designation to
provide official services in these areas,
GIPSA did not seek additional
comments.
GIPSA evaluated the designation
criteria in section 7(f) of the USGSA (7
U.S.C. 79(f)) and determined that
Aberdeen, Hastings, and Missouri are
qualified to provide official services in
the geographic areas specified in the
Federal Register on May 22 and May 30,
2017. These designations to provide
official services in the specified areas of
Aberdeen, Hastings, and Missouri
became effective October 1, 2017, and
