## Abstract

The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is revising its regulations governing the mandatory shell egg surveillance program to add that the Administrator may enter into a stipulation, prior to the issuance of a complaint, with any person to resolve violation cases arising under the Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA) or the regulations, without resort to formal disciplinary proceedings. In December 1998, regulations in 7 CFR part 59 administered by AMS were redesignated as a new part 57. AMS is amending 7 CFR part 57 to add regulations previously proposed to expedite the resolution of violations under the shell egg surveillance program.
