Abstract
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) and the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) are transferring the regulations governing the voluntary inspection of egg products from 7 CFR part 55 to 9 CFR part 592 to reflect that this program has been transferred to FSIS. This transfer occurred at the time the Secretary of Agriculture delegated all functions under the Egg Products Inspection Act to the Administrator of FSIS. FSIS is updating the regulations to better reflect current inspection practices. FSIS is providing the public with an opportunity to comment on the clarity and technical accuracy of the amended regulations.
