In addition, these commenters requested a reference to congressional testimony by the video company regarding video systems and their use in the final compliance guide. The final guide makes clearer which video records are subject to routine access by FSIS. Such records would include HACCP and Sanitation SOP records and records associated with other programs that are prerequisites to HACCP.

The commenter also recommended that the guide state the importance of effective implementation of video monitoring to result in trustworthy and accurate information that helps to prevent inhumane treatment or poor commercial practices. Also, the commenter recommended that cameras for video should be positioned and operating in such a way to allow continuous viewing of all steps from unloading to stunning of livestock and poultry. FSIS made changes in the final guide to address those comments. important.
