The Office of Management and Budget has wrapped up its review of a final rule from USDA on Undue and Unreasonable Preferences and Advantages under the Packers and Stockyards Act.
The plan was sent to OMB in August, the original goal that USDA had released for the final rule to be completed.
This final rule will amend the regs under the Packers and Stockyards Act by adding new regulations that specify the criteria that can be considered in determining whether conduct or action by packers, swine contractors, or live poultry dealers constitutes an undue or unreasonable preference or advantage and a violation of the Act.
However, as with any rules that comes from the Trump administration at this point, they could be subject to revision by a Biden administration.
