USDA/FSIS RIN: 0583-AD09 Publication ID: Fall 2008 
Title: Accredited Laboratory Program  
Abstract: The rule revises, edits, and consolidates provisions to establish standards and procedures for the accreditation of non-Federal analytical chemistry laboratories. FSIS is amending the regulations to accommodate more readily the adoption of newer methods for analyzing an expanded number of chemical residues and to correct some factual data. In addition, FSIS is making other editorial changes to reflect Agency reorganizations and program changes since a rule was published in 1993. This rule also consolidates the regulations, now in two parts, into a single part, 9 CFR part 439.
