Abstract
We are adopting as a final rule, without change, an interim final rule that amended the voluntary shell egg grading program regulations by adding a definition of the term "ambient temperature," by amending the refrigeration requirements, and by adding a labeling requirement. Mandatory amendments to the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) in 1991 and USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) regulations in 9 CFR part 590 implementing those amendments involved refrigeration and labeling requirements. We made changes to 7 CFR part 56 to conform to the FSIS requirements.
