Market Agency, Dealer, and Packer Bonds
The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is reviewing how it calculates the reasonable bond required to be posted by each market agency, dealer, and certain packers (bonded entities) under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, as amended and supplemented (7 U.S.C. 181, et seq.) (P&S Act or Act). We are initiating this review to determine what alternatives, if any, exist for revising the P&S Act regulations (9 CFR part 201) to better protect the financial interests of livestock sellers and consignors without exceeding a reasonable bond amount for bonded entities. We are seeking public comment and information on several identified alternative revisions to the regulations and the issues that we are considering in this review.
