United States Standards for Lentils

This action is being taken under the authority of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as amended, (AMA). The Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration (GIPSA) is revising the United States Standards for Lentils to establish an additional grading factor, definition, grade requirements, and visual reference images for ``wrinkled lentils,'' and establish a special grade, definition, special grade requirements, designation, and visual reference images for ``green lentils.'' GIPSA believes these revisions will improve the application of standards and facilitate the marketing of lentils.
