Title: Request for Public Comment on the United States Standards for Soybeans
Abstract: GIPSA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register on May 1, 2007, initiating a review of the United States Standards for Soybeans to determine their effectiveness and responsiveness to current grain industry needs. The original notice provided an opportunity for interested parties to comment until July 2, 2007. In response to a request from the soybean industry, on July 20, 2007, GIPSA reopened the comment period until August 20, 2007, to provide interested parties with additional time in which to comment. The comments received did not indicate a consensus on needed changes to the standards. Therefore, GIPSA is withdrawing the rulemaking.
