Registration, Five-Year Terms
Document Number: 2010-2845
Type: Rule
Date: 2010-02-09
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration
The Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is amending the regulations under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921, as amended and supplemented (P&S Act), regarding the registration of market agencies and dealers. Under the current regulations, there is no expiration date or renewal process for the registration of a market agency or dealer under the P&S Act. Under this final rule, a market agency or dealer's registration will not expire, provided that the market agency or dealer timely files its annual reports with GIPSA. This action will further assist USDA in regulating the business operations of market agencies and dealers through the effective enforcement of the P&S Act.
Notice of Availability of Pest Risk Analyses for Importation of Fresh Figs, Pomegranates, and Baby Kiwi from Chile into the United States
Document Number: 2010-2795
Type: Notice
Date: 2010-02-09
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service
We are advising the public that we have prepared two pest risk analyses, one with respect to fresh figs and pomegranates grown in Chile and one with respect to fresh baby kiwi fruit grown in Chile. The analyses evaluate the risks associated with the importation into the continental United States of fresh figs, pomegranates, and baby kiwi fruit from Chile. Based on those analyses, we believe that the application of one or more designated phytosanitary measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks of introducing or disseminating plant pests or noxious weeds via the importation of figs, pomegranates, and baby kiwi from Chile. We are making the pest risk analyses, as well as an environmental assessment we have prepared in connection with this action, available to the public for review and comment.
