We are also notifying the public that
the stockyards listed in the following
table meet the P&S Act’s definition of a
stockyard, and therefore, we have
posted these stockyards. On September
5, 2017, we published a notice in the

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
de-posts the stockyard by public notice.
To post a stockyard, we assign the
stockyard a facility number, notify the
stockyard owner, and send an official
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 ‘‘de-posted,’’ which occurs when
the facility is no longer used as a
stockyard.
We are hereby notifying 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AMS 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, ``. . . 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 de-posts the stockyard by public
notice. To post a stockyard, we assign the stockyard a facility number,
notify the stockyard owner, and send an official 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 ``de-posted,'' which occurs when the facility is no
longer used as a stockyard.
We are hereby notifying 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.
