Geographic Areas for Official Grain
Inspection Services
Agricultural Marketing Service,
USDA.
ACTION: Notice of proposed updates to
United States Grain Standards Act
geographic area descriptions; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS) is issuing this notice to
announce proposed updates to the
boundaries of the geographic areas in
which official service providers (OSP)
perform official inspection and
weighing services under a United States
Grain Standards Act (USGSA)
designation or delegation, and for
purposes of cooperative service
agreements under the Agricultural
Marketing Act of 1946 (AMA). The
proposed updates are necessary due to
changes in natural and man-made
landmarks, railroad lines, roads, and
signs that were used in historical
boundary descriptions.
DATES: Comments may be submitted on
or before February 12, 2025.
ADDRESSES: To submit comments in
response to this notice, go to
Regulations.gov (https://
www.regulations.gov). Instructions for
submitting and reading comments are
detailed on the site. All comments must
be submitted through the Federal erulemaking portal at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Agricultural Marketing Service’s Federal
Grain Inspection Service (FGIS)
administers provisions of the USGSA
and AMA that specify the conditions
under which domestic grains, oilseeds,
and legumes are sampled, inspected,
weighed, and tested for domestic and
export shipments. Under the provisions
of these statutes, FGIS typically
authorizes one OSP, through
competitive application procedures, to
perform official inspection services for
customers within each geographic area
of the United States as defined by the
Secretary of Agriculture. This ensures
effective and efficient delivery of official
services to customers within each area
and enhances the orderly marketing of
grains, oilseeds, and legumes.
Under the USGSA (7 U.S.C. 71–87k),
official inspections at locations other
than export port locations within a state
may be performed by a designated state
agency, local governmental agency, or
qualified person. 7 U.S.C. 79(f). Official
inspections at export port locations are
performed by authorized USDA
employees or delegated state agencies. 7
U.S.C. 79(e). Under the AMA (7 U.S.C.
1621–1633), the Secretary of Agriculture
is authorized to enter into cooperative
agreements with states, state agencies,
private firms, institutions, and
individuals. 7 U.S.C. 1624(a).
Designations under the USGSA are
assigned for up to five years. 7 U.S.C.
79(g). Prior to their expiration, AMS
publishes a notice in the Federal
Register announcing the geographic area
or areas available for designation,
describes the geographic area(s)
available, and invites interested parties
to apply for designation to provide
services in those areas. Applications are
reviewed and analyzed by AMS to
determine which agency is better able to
provide services in that geographic area.
On occasion, AMS will amend a
geographic area if more than one
applicant is better able to serve parts of
the area open for consideration.
Delegations under the USGSA are
ongoing after assignment, subject to

certification by AMS every 5 years that
the delegated state agency remains
qualified and meets specified criteria. 7
U.S.C. 79(e). For purposes of efficient
administration, AMS also uses USGSA
designation areas for cooperative service
agreements under the AMA.
Where possible, the boundaries of the
geographic areas follow state or county
lines. Occasionally, geographic areas
include only portions of counties in an
effort to evenly distribute grain
merchandising locations among
geographic areas. This is more common
in the grain belt where the need for
inspection services is most
concentrated. Over time, some
boundaries were adjusted to recognize
historical agreements or accommodate
the needs of OSPs or their customers.
In some cases, geographic area
boundaries have been defined by rivers,
landmarks, or locally recognized roads
within counties, rather than by state or
county borders. Over the years, some of
the landmarks, railroad lines, and roads
that were used to define the boundaries
of geographic areas have changed or
disappeared, leaving some question as
to the exact boundaries currently in use.
Where possible, AMS utilizes more
permanent boundaries, such as state and
county lines, when updating the OSP
geographic area descriptions.
In October 2022, AMS completed a
comprehensive review of the current
geographic area descriptions for OSPs.1
During the review, AMS consulted with
OSPs to obtain recommended changes
and ensure the accuracy of updated area
descriptions. Multiple efforts were made
to involve each OSP; however, not all
official agencies actively participated in
this process.
AMS will update the geographic areas
in the designation and delegation
documents issued for current OSPs after
any comments received have been
considered. AMS will also publish a
follow-up notice in the Federal Register
to announce any changes to the
geographic boundaries described in this
notice.
This notice identifies each of the
current geographic areas assigned to an
OSP in the United States; provides a
proposed, updated description of the

area; and lists the current OSP assigned
by FGIS to provide services in the area.
As explained earlier, the geographic
areas can shift over time in response to
changes in industry service points and
the ability of official agencies to provide
services. Any such changes in the future
will be announced in the Federal
Register. Further, in instances where a
specific service point within a
geographic area becomes a service
challenge for a customer, the customer
can utilize the USGSA exceptions

Updated Geographic Area Descriptions
and Official Service Providers
The geographic areas described below
are listed alphabetically by state. A
proposed, updated geographic
description is included for each area.
Some geographic areas include one or
more entire states, or entire counties
within a state. Several areas include
territory in more than one state. Some
areas include partial counties, divided
by named highways, roads, or
waterways. Where possible, geographic
areas are defined by state or county
lines. In cases in which an area includes
only part of a county or counties, the
boundaries are identified by reference to
highways, roads, waterways, and other
landmarks.
For uniformity in the descriptions
below, highway and road designations
follow typical naming conventions. For
example, Interstate 80 is written ‘‘I–80,’’
U.S. Route 54 is written ‘‘US–54,’’ Iowa
State Route 21 is written ‘‘IA–21,’’ and
County Road 14 is written ‘‘CR–14.’’
The current OSP for each area is
identified below. In some cases, grain
elevators or customers within defined
geographic areas are historically served
by other than the designated OSP for
that area. Such exclusions are listed
below the OSP identified for each area.
Where ports for export shipments exist
within a geographic area, the OSP for
export inspection services in that area is
listed. Contact and other information,
including the services offered by each
OSP, is available on the AMS website at
https://fgisonline.ams.usda.gov/
MyFGIS/OSPDirectory/Index.
Please note that FGIS also administers
the AMA and its implementing
regulations and instructions, including
the provisions regarding cooperative
agreements. Accordingly, this document
also lists the geographic areas serviced
under AMA cooperative agreements by
three OSPs, namely, the Idaho State
Department of Agriculture, Oregon
Department of Agriculture, and
Wyoming Department of Agriculture.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agricultural Marketing Service's Federal
Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) administers provisions of the USGSA and
AMA that specify the conditions under which domestic grains, oilseeds,
and legumes are sampled, inspected, weighed, and tested for domestic
and export shipments. Under the provisions of these statutes, FGIS
typically authorizes one OSP, through competitive application
procedures, to perform official inspection services for customers
within each geographic area of the United States as defined by the
Secretary of Agriculture. This ensures effective and efficient delivery
of official services to customers within each area and enhances the
orderly marketing of grains, oilseeds, and legumes.
Under the USGSA (7 U.S.C. 71-87k), official inspections at
locations other than export port locations within a state may be
performed by a designated state agency, local governmental agency, or
qualified person. 7 U.S.C. 79(f). Official inspections at export port
locations are performed by authorized USDA employees or delegated state
agencies. 7 U.S.C. 79(e). Under the AMA (7 U.S.C. 1621-1633), the
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized to enter into cooperative
agreements with states, state agencies, private firms, institutions,
and individuals. 7 U.S.C. 1624(a).
Designations under the USGSA are assigned for up to five years. 7
U.S.C. 79(g). Prior to their expiration, AMS publishes a notice in the
Federal Register announcing the geographic area or areas available for
designation, describes the geographic area(s) available, and invites
interested parties to apply for designation to provide services in
those areas. Applications are reviewed and analyzed by AMS to determine
which agency is better able to provide services in that geographic
area. On occasion, AMS will amend a geographic area if more than one
applicant is better able to serve parts of the area open for
consideration. Delegations under the USGSA are ongoing after
assignment, subject to certification by AMS every 5 years that the
delegated state agency remains qualified and meets specified criteria.
7 U.S.C. 79(e). For purposes of efficient administration, AMS also uses
USGSA designation areas for cooperative service agreements under the
AMA.
Where possible, the boundaries of the geographic areas follow state
or county lines. Occasionally, geographic areas include only portions
of counties in an effort to evenly distribute grain merchandising
locations among geographic areas. This is more common in the grain belt
where the need for inspection services is most concentrated. Over time,
some boundaries were adjusted to recognize historical agreements or
accommodate the needs of OSPs or their customers.
In some cases, geographic area boundaries have been defined by
rivers, landmarks, or locally recognized roads within counties, rather
than by state or county borders. Over the years, some of the landmarks,
railroad lines, and roads that were used to define the boundaries of
geographic areas have changed or disappeared, leaving some question as
to the exact boundaries currently in use. Where possible, AMS utilizes
more permanent boundaries, such as state and county lines, when
updating the OSP geographic area descriptions.
In October 2022, AMS completed a comprehensive review of the
current geographic area descriptions for OSPs.\1\ During the review,
AMS consulted with OSPs to obtain recommended changes and ensure the
accuracy of updated area descriptions. Multiple efforts were made to
involve each OSP; however, not all official agencies actively
participated in this process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The report is available on AMS's website at https://www.ams.usda.gov/content/usda-publishes-review-geographic-area-boundaries-grain-inspection-weighing-posts-new-grain (last visited
on October 9, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMS will update the geographic areas in the designation and
delegation documents issued for current OSPs after any comments
received have been considered. AMS will also publish a follow-up notice
in the Federal Register to announce any changes to the geographic
boundaries described in this notice.
This notice identifies each of the current geographic areas
assigned to an OSP in the United States; provides a proposed, updated
description of the
[[Page 2665]]
area; and lists the current OSP assigned by FGIS to provide services in
the area. As explained earlier, the geographic areas can shift over
time in response to changes in industry service points and the ability
of official agencies to provide services. Any such changes in the
future will be announced in the Federal Register. Further, in instances
where a specific service point within a geographic area becomes a
service challenge for a customer, the customer can utilize the USGSA
exceptions process as detailed at https://www.ams.usda.gov/services/fgis/usgsaexceptions.
Updated Geographic Area Descriptions and Official Service Providers
The geographic areas described below are listed alphabetically by
state. A proposed, updated geographic description is included for each
area. Some geographic areas include one or more entire states, or
entire counties within a state. Several areas include territory in more
than one state. Some areas include partial counties, divided by named
highways, roads, or waterways. Where possible, geographic areas are
defined by state or county lines. In cases in which an area includes
only part of a county or counties, the boundaries are identified by
reference to highways, roads, waterways, and other landmarks.
For uniformity in the descriptions below, highway and road
designations follow typical naming conventions. For example, Interstate
80 is written ``I-80,'' U.S. Route 54 is written ``US-54,'' Iowa State
Route 21 is written ``IA-21,'' and County Road 14 is written ``CR-14.''
The current OSP for each area is identified below. In some cases,
grain elevators or customers within defined geographic areas are
historically served by other than the designated OSP for that area.
Such exclusions are listed below the OSP identified for each area.
Where ports for export shipments exist within a geographic area, the
OSP for export inspection services in that area is listed. Contact and
other information, including the services offered by each OSP, is
available on the AMS website at https://fgisonline.ams.usda.gov/MyFGIS/OSPDirectory/Index.
Please note that FGIS also administers the AMA and its implementing
regulations and instructions, including the provisions regarding
cooperative agreements. Accordingly, this document also lists the
geographic areas serviced under AMA cooperative agreements by three
OSPs, namely, the Idaho State Department of Agriculture, Oregon
Department of Agriculture, and Wyoming Department of Agriculture.
AMS requests comments for the following proposed, updated
geographic area descriptions. Please note that the geographic areas are
now identified by number. Numbers are assigned to the geographic areas
in alphabetical order, first by state, then by county.
