PART 203--STATEMENTS OF GENERAL POLICY UNDER THE PACKERS AND STOCKYARDS ACT--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 203.15  Trust benefits under sections 206 and 207 of the Act.

    (a) Within the times specified under sections 206(b) and 207(d) of 
the Act, any livestock seller, live poultry seller or grower, to 
preserve his interest in the statutory trust, must give written notice 
to the appropriate packer or live poultry dealer and file such notice 
with the Secretary. One of the ways to satisfy the notification 
requirement under these provisions is to make certain that notice is 
given to the packer or live poultry dealer within the prescribed time by 
letter, mailgram, or telegram stating:
    (1) Notification to preserve trust benefits:
    (2) Identification of packer or live poultry dealer;
    (3) Identification of seller or poultry grower;
    (4) Date of the transaction;
    (5) Date of seller's or poultry grower's receipt of notice that 
payment instrument has been dishonored (if applicable); and
    (6) Amount of money due; and to make certain that a copy of such 
letter, mailgram, or telegram is filed with a GIPSA Regional Office or 
with GIPSA, USDA, Washington, DC 20250, within the prescribed time.
    (b) While the above information is desirable, any written notice 
which informs the packer or live poultry dealer and the Secretary that 
the packer or live poultry dealer has failed to pay is sufficient to 
meet the above-mentioned statutory requirement if it is given within the 
prescribed time.
