Pilot Programs

GIPSA is currently running three pilot programs; timely service, open season, and barge, under one of the 1993 amendments to the United States Grain Standards Act, as amended (Act). This amendment provides that GIPSA may conduct pilot programs allowing more than one official agency to provide official services within a single geographic area. These pilot programs are scheduled to end October 31, 1999. Participation in the pilot programs has been light, especially during the first 2 years, and GIPSA believes it needs additional time to collect information. Accordingly, GIPSA is extending the pilot programs to September 30, 2000, the end of fiscal year 1999.
