Title: Clarifying Time Limits for Waivers From FSIS Regulatory Requirements for Meat, Poultry, and Egg Products | |
Abstract:
FSIS proposed amendments to its regulations at 9 CFR parts 303, 381, and 590 to specify that if data generated under waivers from any provisions of the regulations support regulatory changes, the waivers will be in effect until the rulemaking process is complete and the new regulatory requirements take effect (i.e., the compliance date of the final rule).If the data generated do not support regulatory changes, the waivers will be terminated. Currently, the waiver authorization regulations provide for FSIS to waive regulatory requirements for limited periods but do not specify the time for which a waiver may remain in place after it has been granted. FSIS also proposed amendments to its regulations at 9 CFR parts 303, 381, and 590 to clarify that waivers may be granted to permit experimentation with not only new procedures, equipment, and processing techniques, but also new applications of existing procedures, equipment, and processing techniques. Finally, FSIS proposed a few minor changes to the regulatory text at 9 CFR parts 303, 381, and 590 to make these subsections consistent across the meat, poultry, and egg products inspection regulations. FSIS is currently considering all comments submitted on the proposed rule to inform any agency final action. |
