Sec. 201.17  Requirements for filing tariffs.

    (a) Schedules of rate changes for stockyard services. Each stockyard 
owner and market agency operating at a posted stockyard shall file with 
the regional supervisor for the region in which they operate a signed 
copy of all schedules of rates and charges, supplements and amendments 
thereto. The schedules, supplements and amendments must be conspicuously 
posted for public inspection at the stockyard, and filed with the 
regional supervisor, at least 10 days before their effective dates, 
except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section. Each 
schedule, supplement and amendment shall set forth its effective date, a 
description of the stockyard services rendered, the stockyard at which 
it applies, the name and address of the stockyard owner or market 
agency, the kind of livestock covered by it, and any rules or 
regulations which affect any rate or charge contained therein. Each 
schedule of rates and charges filed shall be designated by successive 
numbers. Each supplement and amendment to such schedule shall be 
numbered and

shall designate the number of the schedule which it supplements or 
amends.
    (b) Feed charges. When the schedule in effect provides for feed 
charges to be based on an average cost plus a specified margin, the 10-
day filing and notice provision contained in section 306(c) of the Act 
is waived. A schedule of the current feed charges based on average feed 
cost and showing the effective date shall be conspicuously posted at the 
stockyard at all times. Changes in feed charges may become effective 2 
days after the change is posted at the stockyard.
    (c) Professional veterinary services. The 10-day filing and notice 
provision contained in section 306(a) of the Act is waived for a 
schedule of charges for professional veterinary services. A schedule of 
charges for professional veterinary services rendered by a veterinarian 
at a posted stockyard shall be conspicuously posted at the stockyard at 
all times. The schedule of charges and any supplement or amendment 
thereto may become effective 2 days after the schedule, supplement, or 
amendment is posted at the stockyard.
    (d) Joint schedules. If the same schedule is to be observed by more 
than one market agency operating at any one stockyard, one schedule will 
suffice for such market agencies. The names and business addresses of 
those market agencies adhering to such schedule must appear on the 
schedule.
