Abstract
The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is amending the regulations governing the voluntary shell egg grading program. The revisions require that scales of stated precision be provided to the grader; provide an alternative grademark for shell eggs; provide for the use of a ``Produced From'' grademark to officially identify products that originate from officially graded shell eggs; and remove the requirement for continuous overflow of water during the egg washing process. From time to time, sections in the regulations are affected by changes in egg processing technology and egg marketing. This rule updates the regulations to reflect these changes.
