Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 158 / Thursday, August 19, 2021 / Proposed Rules was associated with the official agencys inability to provide service in 6 hours or less, or timely issuance of the results and certificate, the Service may not terminate the exception. If the Service terminates a long-term exception, all parties will be notified, and the applicant will resume service with the assigned official agency within 60 days of notification.
2 Nonuse of service exception. If an applicant has not received service from the assigned official agency within the last 90 days, the applicant may request that the Service grant a nonuse of service exception.
i Requests must clearly state and support the following:
A The last date of service from assigned official agency;
B The reason service has not been received during this timeframe;
C The identified reason for the request.
ii Relevant information. Applicants may submit any relevant supporting information. This may include, but is not limited to:
A The location of the specified service points;
B The types of services requested by the applicant and offered by assigned official agency;
C The ability of the gaining official agency to take on additional customers;
D The ability of the assigned official agency to provide the requested service;
E Whether the requesting facility has ever used the official system.
iii Supporting Documentation.
Included with the request for an exception, the applicant must submit supporting documentation to the Service. After receipt of the request, the Service will give all parties an opportunity to provide additional supporting documentation. The Service will request additional information if any is needed.
iv Review and Validation. Prior to granting an exception, the Service will review the application and all supporting documentation, and the Service will conduct any necessary analysis to estimate the exceptions impact.

support the identified reason for the challenge.
C Determination. The Service will consider impacts on the assigned official agency, the applicant, and the potential gaining agency when deciding whether to grant an exception. These impacts may include, but are not limited to, the viability of the assigned official agency given the loss of business. The Service will also consider the impact on the integrity of the official system and confirm an exception would not undermine the congressional policies in section 2 of the United States Grain Standards Act. The Service will provide its decision in writing to the assigned official agency, the applicant, and the potential gaining agency.
v False or Misleading Requests. If an applicant submits a request that the Service determines is false or misleading the Service may elect to limit them from submitting further requests for a period of up to 180 days.
vi Renewal or Termination of Exception. The nonuse of service exception is for the period of the gaining agencys designation. At the end of the designation, the Service will review the exception, and verify all criteria and information. If the exception still meets the nonuse criteria, the Service will renew the exception for the new designation period. In the event the gaining agency is no longer designated, the exception would automatically terminate and the customer would return to the assigned official agency. If all parties jointly agree to the termination of a nonuse of service exception, the Service will terminate the exception. In this case, the assigned official agency must resume service within 60 days of notification.
vii Historic exceptions. All nonuse of service exceptions, that were in place as of March 30, 2019, will be incorporated into geographic boundaries of the gaining agencies.
