Stockyards must provide reasonable, nondiscriminatory service to anyone who makes a reasonable request. A state agency that weighs livestock can register as a market agency for that purpose. The Secretary can revoke that registration if the agency breaks the rules.

Any stockyard owner or market agency must provide reasonable, nondiscriminatory service at the stockyard when someone makes a reasonable request for it. They can't refuse service for any reason that's unreasonable or unfairly discriminatory. There's a special rule for state-run weighing. If a state has an official department or agency that weighs livestock at a stockyard, that department or agency can apply to the Secretary to be registered as a "market agency" for weighing livestock. Once registered, that state department or agency — and its members — must follow all the requirements of this chapter, just like any other market agency. If the registered state department or agency (or its members) fails to follow the Secretary's orders under this chapter, the Secretary can revoke its registration and enforce that revocation using the process in section 216 of this title.
