7 U.S.C. § 198 — Definitions

Except where section 198b(a) of this title provides otherwise, this part uses these definitions: (1) "Market" means the sale or disposition of swine, pork, or pork products in commerce. (2) "Packer" has the meaning given in section 1635i of this title. (3) "Pork" means the meat of a porcine (pig-family) animal. (4) "Pork product" means a product or byproduct made, wholly or partly, from pork. (5) "State" means each of the 50 states. (6) "Swine" means a porcine animal raised as a feeder pig, raised for seedstock, or raised for slaughter. (7) "Type of contract" means the classification of contracts or risk management agreements to buy swine. This classification looks at: (A) the mechanism used to set the base price for swine committed to a packer, grouped by the Secretary into practical categories (such as swine or pork market formula purchases, other market formula purchases, and other purchase arrangements); and (B) whether the deal has an accrual account or ledger that the producer or packer benefiting from the contract's pricing mechanism must repay, measured against negotiated prices. (8) Except as provided in this part, any other term has the meaning given in section 1635a or 1635i of this title.
