Grain Inspection and Weighing Systems in the Interior of the United States - An Evaluation

摘要

The Grain Standards Act of 1976 made a number of substantive changes to improve the interior (nonexport) grain inspection and weighing systems. It also required GAO and the Department of Agriculture to study the systems. Based on its study, GAO believes that the overall structures of the systems should be retained. However, the Department needs to take a number of actions to strengthen the services available under the act and its controls over such services.
