FSIS has regulations to govern the submission to the Agency of petitions for rulemaking 9 CFR part 392. These regulations are designed to encourage the filing of wellsupported petitions that contain information that the Agency needs to evaluate a requested rulemaking in a timely manner. FSIS uses the information associated with a petition to assess the merits of the requested action and to determine whether to issue, amend, or repeal regulations in response to the petition.
