FSIS Docket Room, Some Policy Offices Relocating to Beltsville, Maryland
FSIS will begin relocating four divisions of the Office of Policy
and Program Development Development from the South Building in Washington, D.C., to
Beltsville, Maryland, beginning July 10. These units include: Labeling and Program Delivery
Division (LPDD); Policy Operations Division (POD); Risk and Innovation Management Division (RIMD);
Policy Analysis Division (PAD); and the FSIS Docket Room. As these offices prepare to relocate,
expect some delay in services. (See key dates listed below.)

Friday, July 10, while records, equipment and services are re-established. LPDD strongly
