Grain Inspection Proposed
changes are needed to bring
the regulations in line with
current grain merchandising
and transportation prac
tices, to clarify certain In
consistencies in the
regulations, and to provide
additional guidelines for
official inspection agencies.
One amendment would
require the use of diverter
type mechanical samplers in
sampling bulk grain for
export as it is loaded into
ships. This requirement
would become effective Nov.
1, 1975. USDA studies show
that diverter-type
mechanical samplers
provide more consistently
representative samples than
other sampling methods.
Two other amendments
would require that overtime
appeal inspection services
be requested by 2 p.m. the
day before the services are
needed and that a designated
official grain inspection
agency give 90 days advance
notice when requesting that
its designation be cancelled,
amended, transferred, or
suspended.
111686 and other proposed
amendments are sdieduled
to appear in the Federal
Register on Dec. 4. Copies
are also available from the
Grain Division of the
Agricultural Marketing
Service, USDA, 6525 Belcrest
Road, Hyattsville, Md. 20782.
USDA will accept com
ments on the proposed
amendments until Jan. 20,
1975. Written comments
should be sent in duplicate to
the Hearing Clerk, Room
112-A, USDA, Washington,
D.C. 20250.
Official grain inspection
For Small or Large Operation
services are administered by
the Grain Divison of USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing
Service. Official inspection
is available upon request at
any designated inspection
point, and grain sold by
grade for export must be
officially inspected.

Officials of USDA s

when animals are imported.
Sheep and goats consigned to

spection would have to be
slaughtered within two
weeks after entering the
United States.
Sheep and goats imported
for other purposes would stlu
have to be inspected and
certified free of disease at
the farm of origin. APHIS
veterinarians explained that
this regulation, now in force,
is designed to stop the in
troduction of communicable
diseases of sheep and goats
including scrapie, a slow
acting degenerative disease
that may spread to other
animals and may take three
years to show obvious
symptoms.
Both Canada and the
United States have on-going
scrapie eradication
programs. Veterinary of
ficials in the two countries
maintain surveillance,
destroy infected flocks, and
trace the distribution of
sheep from infected
premises. Long quarantines
and bloodline investigations
are required for sheep im
ported from scrapie-infected
countries, except from
countries that have scrapie
eradication programs
comparable to the United
States.
The proposed amendment
to the federal code will be
published in the Dec. 5,
