National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection Meeting

June 5 - June 6, 2001
Holiday Inn Capitol at the Smithsonian
550 C Street SW
Washington, DC 20024

 

Congress established the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection in 1971 under authority of the Federal Meat Inspection and Poultry Products Inspection Acts. Both laws require the Secretary of Agriculture to consult with an advisory committee before issuing product standards and labeling changes or on matters affecting federal and state program activities. Membership on the Committee has been broadened to provide a greater representation to state and consumer interests and to add more balance than in previous years. This Committee serves as a forum for significant sharing of ideas and insight about how our regulatory system can best serve both consumers and industry. The addition of representatives from state and consumer interests will result in more substantial contributions to USDA's regulatory policy development. The public is invited to participate in this process by making comments and suggestions, either at this meeting or in writing. Written comments may be submitted to the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), Docket Clerk: DOCKET No. 01-014N, Room 102, Cotton Annex Building, 300 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC 20250. Comments may also be sent by facsimile (202) 205-0381. The comments and official transcript of the meeting will be in the Docket Clerk's office. Transcripts may also be viewed on FSIS Web Site at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/OPPDE/nacmpi/.

Three standing Sub-Committees have been designated. Each subcommittee will have one issue to address during this meeting.

Emerging Egg and Egg Products Strategy
Industry’s Petition for Proposed Changes to HACCP Final Rule--Agency Current Thinking
Federal, State and Local Relations

Mr. Thomas Billy, Administrator of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), chairs the Committee. Top FSIS officials who lead efforts in the policy issues on the agenda will also brief the Committee. Mr. Billy will invite the public to make comments and suggestions on the Committee proceedings. The Committee will consider these comments and suggestions as it plans its agenda.
