A notice of a proposed amendment to the regulations governing the grading and inspection of poultry and edible products thereof and United States classes, standards, and grades with re spect thereto 7 CFR Part 70 was pub lished in the F ed er al R e g iste r on Decem ber 10, 1954 <19 F. R. 8218. The amendment hereinafter promulgated is pursuant to authority contained in the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 60
Stat. 1087; 7 U. S. C. 1621 et seq..
The amendment makes changes in the standards of quality for ready-to-cook poultry applicable primarily to B and C
qualities. In addition, minor changes are made in the official identification, new provisions are added in the sanitary arid operating requirements with respect to chilling and freezing of products, drainage of poultry prior to packaging, and the lining of containers. The amendment is essentially thes same as was published in the aforesaid notice with the exception that action is being reserved on proposed terms and de scriptions for chicken parts which were set forth in 70.2 of the proposed amendment. This matter needs further consideration prior to issuance.
It is hereby found that it would be impractical, unnecessary and contrary to the public interest to delay the effective date of this amendment until thirty 30
days after publication in the F ederal R egister for the reasons that 1
changes in the standards represent a needed improvement, 2 some of the administrative changes are similar to the shell egg grading regulations which become effective March 1, 1955 and it . would facilitate administration of the programs to have changes effective at the same time, and 3 no additional
time is required by interested persons to prepare for compliance with this amendment.
After consideration of all relevant material presented, the amendment hereinafter set forth is promulgated to become effective March 1,1955.
The amendment is as follows:
1. Change the definition of act set forth in 70.1 Definitions to read as fo l lows:
Act means the applicable provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946
60 Stat. 1087; 7 U. S. C. 1621 et seq. or any other act of Congress conferring like authority.
2. Change the definition of Circuit Supervisor set forth in 70.1 to read as follows:
Circuit supervisor means the officer in charge of the poultry inspection serv ice or the poultry grading service in a circuit consisting o f a group of stations within an area, 3. Change the second Sentence of the definition Free from protruding pin feathers, to read as follows: However, a carcass may be considered as being free from protruding pinfeathers if it has a generally clean appearance especially on the breast, and if not more than an occasional protruding pinfeather is in evidence during a more careful examina tion of the carcass.
4. Change the definition of Grading or Grading Service, to read as follows:
G r a d i n g or grading service means: 1 The act whereby a grader determines, according to the regulations in this part, the class, quality, quantity, or condition of any product by examin ing each unit thereof or each unit of the representative sample thereof drawn by a grader and issues a grading certificate with respect thereto, except that with respect to grading service performed on a contract basis the issuance of a grad ing certificate shall be pursuant to a request therefor by the applicant or the Service; 2 the act whereby the grader identifies, according to the regulations in this part, the graded product; 3
