<body>
<p>The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is proposing to remove lists of foreign countries eligible to export meat, poultry, and processed egg products to the United States from its regulations and, instead, post them to on FSIS&rsquo;s Web site. The criteria FSIS uses to evaluate whether a foreign country should be added to or removed from the eligible lists will remain in the regulations and will not change. FSIS would continue to provide an opportunity for public comment on changes to the lists.</p>
