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

|
| 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 your MyFGIS profile under Service Points for the respective code numbers. |
|
| 3. Enter the official abbreviation of the Service Provider (FGIS field office, delegated State or designated official agency). |
|
| 4. Enter the number of Inspections. The following definitions apply to the columns: Truck – Total number of domestic and export truck and trailer sample-lot inspections performed. Rail – Total number of domestic and export railcar sample-lot inspections performed. For the inspection of a composite sample or when a loading log is used for a unit train, report the number of carriers represented by the composite sample that are recorded on the loading log. For example, a five-car composite sample is reported as 5 rail and a 100-car unit train with five car sublots is reported as 100 rail. Barge – Total number of domestic sample-lot inspections performed. Do not include containerized cargo inspections. Local – Total number of pounds (lbs) for local-movement inspections performed. Local inspections include grain offered for inspection under a local movement (not “IN” movement, “OUT movement”, or Export). For example, in-house bin transfers or bin samples. Also, this includes grain offered for shipment that is not shipped after inspection and is unloaded or returned to the house (e.g., run-backs, elevator elected return (EER), material portions (MP) returned, weighbacks, or off grade containers unloaded). |
| Definitions per 7 CFR 800 “LOCAL” movement. A bin run or other inhouse movement, or grain in bins, tanks, or similar containers which are not in transit or designed to transport grain. “IN” movement. A movement of grain into an elevator, or into or through a city, town, port, or other location without a loss of identity. “OUT” movement. A movement of grain out of an elevator or out of a city, town, rt, or other location. Export grain. Grain for shipment from the United States to any place outside thereof. Sacked – Total number of pounds (lbs) for sample-lot inspections and weight lots performed on sacked grain in a warehouse. 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 pounds in the SACKED column. For example, if an agency sampled sacked grain for grade in a warehouse one week and then observed the loading of that lot into two barges the next week, the service should be reported as a 2 in the BARGE column. Submitted – Total number of submitted sample inspections performed. Reinspections, Appeals, Board Appeals – Subsequent inspections of the original file sample. This data is being collected separately from this form and should not be reported. |

| 5. For the inspection report use the following instructions. Official Original Inspection Service. Enter the number of truck, rail, barge, and submitted that received original inspections (full grade, factor only, and official criteria only inspections).

Do not count reinspections, appeals or board appeals, official commercial inspections, and warehouseman sample services Official Commercial Inspection Service (OCIS).
