        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[FSIS is developing final regulations to amend the meat, poultry, and egg product inspection regulations to provide for an electronic export application and certification system.  The electronic export application and certification system will be a component of the Agency's Public Health Information System (PHIS).  The export component of PHIS will be available as an alternative to the paper-based application and certification process.  FSIS intends to charge users for the use of the system.  FSIS is establishing a formula for calculating the fee.  FSIS is also providing establishments that export meat, poultry, and egg products with flexibility in the official export inspection marks, devices, and certificates.  In addition, FSIS is amending the egg product export regulations to parallel the meat and poultry export regulations.]]></ABSTRACT>
