BY THE US, GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE



Report To The Secretary Of Agriculture






Agricultural Marketing Act Inspections

Should Be Administered By

Single USDA Agency



Responsibility within the Department of
Agriculture for food inspection and grading
services is divided between the Agricultural
Marketing Service and the Federal Grain
Inspection Service. Each performs similar
functions but for different commodities.
GAO believes there is no compelling reason
for this divided responsibility and that con-
solidating responsibility in the Marketing
Service would be feasible and beneficial.
