t e r for the reasons that: 1 The amend ment sets forth the iiew design of the grade mark which will be used in con nection with the program. Applicants for the service are interested in getting grade labels approved as rapidly as pos sible and it would not be practicable to approve labeling on the basis of cur rently existing regulations which would become obsolete in 30 days; 2 the pro visions with respect to the sanitary requirements are in the nature of a re lieving restriction and no useful purpose would be served in delaying the effective date of this provision; 3 the changes in the turkey classes are not of a sub stantive nature, but are changes in no menclature; and 4 no additional time is required in order for the industry to make preparation for compliance with this amendment.
The amendment is as follows:
1. Change the definition in 70.1 of Ready-to-cook poultry to read as fo l lows:

Ready-to-cook poultry means any dressed poultry from which the pro truding pinfeathers, vestigial feathers hair or down as the case may b e , head, shanks, crop, oil gland, trachea, esopha gus, entrails, kidneys, reproductive or gans and lungs have been removed, and with or without the giblets, is ready to cook without need of further processing.
Ready-to-cook poultry also means any cut-up or disjointed portion of poultry or any edible part thereof, as described in this paragraph.
2. Change paragraph b of 70.91 to read as follows:
b Except as otherwise authorized, each grade mark which is to be used shall be of a shield design and shall in clude the letters USDA , and the U. S.
Grade of the product it identifies as specified in 70.381. In addition, one of the following terms such asFederalState Graded or Government Graded may be used adjacent to, but not with in, the shield design grade mark. The class of the poultry shall be shown on the label which bears the grade mark: P ro
