Summary

Livestock Market Revitalization Act of 1996 - Amends the Packers and Stockyards Act, 1921 to define "captive supply" as livestock acquired by a packer for slaughter, including livestock delivered seven days or more before slaughter. Directs the Secretary of Agriculture to: (1) make information available to the public concerning livestock slaughtered or marketed in the United States, and captive market transactions; (2) monitor antitrust and anticompetitive activities among packers and stockyards; and (3) collect and disseminate marketing information on a national, regional, and local basis. (Sec. 5) Amends the Agricultural Fair Practices Act of 1967 to make it an unfair trade practice to fail to act in good faith with producer cooperatives. (Sec. 6) Amends the Federal Meat Inspection Act with respect to grade labeling of imported meat. (Sec. 7) Directs the Secretary to establish a livestock industry commission.
