Amendments to the Regulations for Cotton Warehouses Under the United States Warehouse Act

Summary

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is proposing to update regulations under the United States Warehouse Act (USWA) to enable warehousemen to issue electronic cotton warehouse receipts for multiple bales of cotton and clarify other sections as necessary. This change aims to align with the 1990 and 1992 amendments to the USWA, which previously allowed electronic warehouse receipts for cotton, but currently restricts them to single bale receipts.
