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.
