SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the February 26, 2013 Federal Register 
(78 FR 13015), GIPSA announced the designation of Detroit to provide 
official services under the USGSA, effective April 1, 2013 to March 31, 
2016. Subsequently, Detroit asked GIPSA to amend their designation to 
include official weighing services. Section 79a of the USGSA authorizes 
the Secretary to designate authority to perform official weighing to an 
agency providing official inspection services within a specified 
geographic area, if such agency is qualified under section 79 of the 
USGSA. GIPSA evaluated information regarding the designation criteria 
in section 79 of the USGSA and determined that Detroit is qualified to 
provide official weighing services in their currently assigned 
geographic area.
    Detroit's designation is amended to include Class X or Class Y 
weighing within their assigned geographic area, effective October 18, 
2013 to March 31, 2016.
    Interested persons may obtain official services by contacting 
Detroit at (810) 404-3786.

    Authority:  7 U.S.C. 71-87k.
