Implementation of the United States Warehouse Act

The Department of Agriculture (USDA) is proposing a revision of the regulations administering the United States Warehouse Act to implement the provisions of the Grain Standards and Warehouse Improvement Act of 2000 (2000 Act). The 2000 Act, enacted on November 9, 2000, amended the United States Warehouse Act (USWA) in its entirety. The 2000 Act updates Federal warehouse licensing operations, authorizes electronic warehouse receipts for all commodities, and authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture (Secretary) to establish regulations for voluntary systems for other electronic documents related to sales and transfers of agricultural products. Further information about the USWA and copies of the 2000 Act, the official transcript of January 23, 2001's public meeting, and this proposed rule may be found at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/daco/uswa.htm.
