USDA/GIPSA

RIN: 0580-AB01

Publication ID: Fall 2008

Title: Swine Contractors
Abstract: GIPSA is proposing to add "swine contractors" to the list of regulated entities subject to specific regulations under the Packers and Stockyards Act. In 2002, Congress added swine contractors as entities regulated under the P&S Act. The specific regulations we propose to amend prohibit regulated entities from circulating misleading reports about market conditions or prices. We also propose to amend regulations that address inspection of business records and facilities, information that regulated entities are required to share with the Secretary of Agriculture, and USDA's responsibility to refrain from unauthorized disclosure of that information.
