Elimination of Requirements for Partial Quality Control Programs; Correction

This document contains corrections to the final rule "Elimination of Requirements for Partial Quality Control Programs" (Docket 97-001F) which was published on May 30, 2000 in the Federal Register (65 FR 34381). The final rule removes the remaining requirements pertaining to partial quality control (PQC) programs. A PQC program controls a single product, operation, or part of an operation in a meat or poultry establishment. Removal of these requirements will make the Federal meat and poultry inspection regulations more consistent with FSIS's regulations on pathogen reduction and hazard analysis and critical control point systems and give inspected establishments greater flexibility to adopt new technologies and methods that will improve food safety and other consumer protections.
