The Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration
(GIPSA) is proposing to revise the U.S. Standards for Barley under the U.S.
Grain Standards Act (USGSA) by revising the Definitions of Other Terms to
remove Blue Malting barley and the reference to kernels with white aleurone
layers.
GIPSA will also revise the standards to add the factors
injured-by-mold and mold-damaged kernels.
The proposal recommends revisions to the grade and grade
requirements for Two-rowed Malting Barley, Six-rowed Malting barley, and Six-rowed
Blue Malting barley, and these changes will assist in facilitating the
marketing of barley.
Comments are accepted until September 23, 2014.
