The fall 2019 regulatory agenda released by the Trump administration Wednesday included a notice that USDA intends to issue a final rule in December, which will clarify export sales reporting requirements.
“The final rule would amend the Export Sales Reporting Requirements Regulation to clarify certain definitions as they relate to beef and pork, which are subject to this regulation to ensure accuracy of the weekly U.S. Export Sales report,” the notice said.
This appears to be aimed at addressing details on things like the specific cuts that are to be reported to USDA and the timeline for making those reports to USDA.
The most-recent sales data did show that nearly one half of the total for U.S. pork sales to foreign buyers were “late reported” sales.
