The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a proposed rule to amend the Export Sales Reporting Requirements to add reporting for pork (fresh, chilled, and frozen box/primal cuts) and distellers dried grain (DDG). Under this proposed rule, all exporters of U.S. pork and DDG would be required to report, on a weekly basis, information on the export sales of pork and DDGs to the Foreign Agricultural Service. Comments on this proposed rule are due by May 7, 2012.
