Publication ID: Fall 2009

Title: Swine Contract Library
Abstract: On August 11, 2003, GIPSA implemented new subtitle B of title II of the Packers and Stockyards Act, which was added by the Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999 by establishing the Swine Contract Library. The statutory authority for the library lapsed on September 30, 2005. In October 2006, legislation was enacted to reauthorize the 1999 Act until September 30, 2010, and to amend the swine reporting requirements of the 1999 act. This proposed rulemaking is necessary to re-establish the regulatory authority for the library's continued operation and incorporate certain changes contained within the Reauthorization Act that impact the Swine Contract Library, as well as make other changes to enhance the library's overall effectiveness and efficiency in response to input from regulated entities and the public.
