Title: Elimination of Requirements for Total Quality Control Systems 
Abstract: FSIS is proposing to amend the meat and poultry inspection regulations by removing all requirements relating to FSIS-approved voluntary total quality control (TQC) systems for official meat and poultry processing establishments. The proposal would remove the regulations that prescribe the features that TQC systems must have and the requirements for FSIS to approve the systems before they can be implemented.
