BILLING CODE 3410-02-P DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration 9 CFR Part 201 RIN 0580-AB23 Suspension of Flock Delivery and Stages of Poultry Production AGENCY: Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, USDA. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This final rule removes certain regulations promulgated under the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921 (P&S Act). Under the authority granted to the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) and delegated to the Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA), GIPSA is authorized to issue regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of the P&S Act.
As directed by Congress in Section 731, Division A, of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, GIPSA is rescinding certain regulations issued under the P&S Act. GIPSA is exercising the good cause exceptions provided by the Administrative Procedure Act to forgo notice-and-comment rulemaking and proceed directly to a final rule, because notice and comment rulemaking is impracticable and unnecessary since Congress has ordered the rescission of these specific sections.
DATES: Effective February 5, 2015. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: S. Brett Offutt, Director, Litigation and Economic Analysis Division, P&SP, GIPSA, 1400 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20250-3646,
