FGIS-922, INSPECTION AND WEIGHING REPORT INSTRUCTIONS
The FGIS Grain Inspection and Weighing Information System (GIWIS) collects the
number of inspection and weighing services performed under the United States Grain
Standards Act (USGSA) by type of carrier on a monthly basis. The information source
for the GIWIS is the Inspection and Weighing Report (FGIS-922).
Form FGIS-922 is completed by all official agencies and field offices. Information
reported on the form FGIS-922 is used by FGIS field offices to assess fees for FGIS
supervision of official inspection and weighing services performed by official agencies.
The information also is used for estimating field office staffing requirements, determining
appropriate grain inspection monitoring levels, and providing information for other
program needs. Information recorded on the forms must be accurate and legible.
The form records the type and number of inspection and weighing services performed
under the USGSA, as amended, and implements section 800.155(a) of the regulations.
The form includes the inspection and weighing services as listed in the USGSA Service
Table for both Canada and the United States. Field office personnel use the service code
abbreviations in the following table for data entry into the GIWIS.

at the top of the form.

2

b.

FGIS Field Office Responsibilities.
(1)

Report the number and type of each official inspection and weighing
service performed by the official agency. Report only those services
performed under the authority of the USGSA. Do not include inspection
and weighing services performed under the Agricultural Marketing Act of
1946 (AMA).
(a)

Instructions for Completing
FGIS-922, “Inspection and Weighing Report”
1.

Enter 4 digits to show the month/year for which the report was prepared (i.e., MMYY
format).

2.

Enter the 6-digit code for the specified service point, main service point of official
agency, or the FGIS service point where the inspection and/or weighing services were
performed. Refer to the GIWIS report “Active Service Points” for the respective
code numbers.

3.

Enter the name of the FGIS field office.

4.

Enter the name of the delegated State or designated official agency. Leave blank if
official inspections and/or weighing services were performed by FGIS.

5.

Enter the name of the specified service point, main service point of official agency, or
FGIS service point where inspections and/or weighing services were performed.

6.

The following definitions apply to the columns:
Truck – The total number of domestic and export truck and trailer sample-lot
inspections performed.
Rail – The total number of domestic and export railcar sample-lot inspections
performed.
Barge – The total number of domestic and export barge sample-lot inspections
performed. Do not include containerized cargo inspections.
Ship – The total number of ships. Do not count the number of weight lots. For
example, a ship carrying 5 separate lots counts as one ship on the FGIS-922. The
number should include all ships (export and U.S. territories). Count only those ships
completed during the month reported.
Container – The total number of domestic and export containerized cargo sample-lot
inspections performed.
NOTE: For the inspection of a composite sample or when a loading log is used for a
unit train or lash barges, report the number of carriers represented by the composite
sample that are recorded on the loading log.
Local – The total number of metric tons (mt) for local-movement inspections
performed (e.g., in-house bin transfers, run-backs, or bin samples). To convert
6

bushels (bu) to mt multiply the standard test weight (lb/bu) X (number of bushels in
bin, etc.) ÷ (2204.623 lb/mt conversion) to find metric tons (or use the calculator
available in this document). After finding the number of metric tons, round to the
nearest whole ton.
Ex

ample:
10,000 bu bin graded of wheat with a 60 lb/bu test weight
10,000 bu X 60 lb/bu ÷ 2204.623 lb/mt = 272.155 mt
Rounded = 272 mt

Sacked – The total number of metric tons (mt) for sample-lot inspections and weight
lots performed on sacked grain in a warehouse. To convert pounds (lb) to metric tons
(mt), multiply (number of sacks X net weight per sack in lb) ÷ 2204.623 lb/mt. After
finding the number of metric tons, round to the nearest whole ton. When sampling or
otherwise inspecting sacked grain in a warehouse on which the loading of the final
carrier is officially witnessed during the same reporting period, count the inspection
by the carrier type instead of reporting metric tons in the SACKED column. For
example, if an agency samples sacked grain for grade in a warehouse one week and
then observes the loading of that lot into a barge the next week, the service should be
reported as a count in the BARGE column.
Submitted – The total number of submitted sample inspections performed.
7.

For the inspection report use the following instructions.
Full Grade. Enter the number of official inspections for grade by carrier or type of
inspection. Do not include official commercial inspection services and
warehouseman sample services.
Factor Only. Enter the number of official inspections for official “factor only” by
carrier or type of inspection. Do not include factor only inspections in the “Full
Grade” line. Do not include official commercial inspection services and
warehouseman sample services.
Official Criteria Only. Enter the number of official criteria inspections that are
performed without any other service requests for each carrier or type of inspection.
Do not include official commercial inspection services and warehouseman sample
services.

Official Commercial Inspection Service. Enter the number of OCIS inspections (full
grade, factor only, and official criteria only inspections) by carrier or type of
inspection.
Warehouseman Sample. Enter the number of warehouseman sample (yellow
certificate) inspections (full grade, factor only, and official criteria only inspections)
by carrier or type of inspection.
Reinspection. Enter the number of reinspections by carrier or type of inspection. For
the reinspection of a composite sample or when a loading log is used for a unit train
or lash barges, report the number of carriers represented by the reinspection service.
This service applies to all reinspection services including OCIS and warehouseman
sample services. (Supervision fees are not assessed on reinspections. Data is
collected to show market service requests by carrier or type of inspection.)
Sample Only. Enter the number of official sampling services by carrier or type of
inspection.
Stowage Examination Only. Enter the number of stowage only examinations by type
of carrier. Include only stowage examinations for which a stowage examination
