kits will facilitate compliance with the
non-O157 STEC policy. Accordingly,
beginning the week of June 4, 2012,
rather than on March 5, FSIS will begin
scheduling verification tasks for nonO157 STEC control of raw beef
manufacturing trimmings. FSIS will
collect excision (N60) samples for
testing raw beef manufacturing
trimmings derived from cattle
slaughtered on or after June 4, 2012, for
the seven relevant STECs (O157:H7 plus
O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and
O145). For production lots of raw beef
manufacturing trimmings not
accompanied by documentation
showing the date of slaughter of the
cattle from which the beef was derived,
or for production lots that contain
mixtures of raw beef manufacturing
trimmings derived from cattle
slaughtered before and after June 4,
2012, FSIS will sample the production
lot only for O157–STEC. For production
lots of raw beef manufacturing
trimmings not accompanied by
documentation showing that the date of
slaughter of the cattle from which the
beef was derived, or for production lots
that contain mixtures of raw beef
manufacturing trimmings derived from
cattle slaughtered before and after June
4, 2012, FSIS will sample the
production lot only for O157 STEC. For
production lots with documentation
that the beef in the production lot
contains only product derived from
cattle slaughtered on or after June 4,
2012, FSIS will test the samples for the
seven relevant STECs. The slaughter
date of June 4, 2012, is important for
implementing the verification testing
program for raw beef manufacturing
trimmings because FSIS can be certain
that, as of this date, trimmings derived
from cattle slaughtered on or after this
date will have been produced under a
slaughter and further processing system
that the Agency expects to control for
the six additional STEC.
With the implementation of
verification testing for beef
manufacturing trimmings on June 4,
FSIS will also consider raw, non-intact
beef products or raw, intact products
intended for use in non-intact beef
products that are contaminated with
STEC O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and
O145, to be adulterated within the
meaning of 21 U.S.C. 601(m)(1) and
(m)(3). FSIS will generally not regard
raw, non-intact beef products found to
have these pathogens as adulterated
until it implements this verification
testing program. However, if product is
associated with an STEC outbreak
before that time, the product will be
deemed adulterated and subject to

recall, consistent with current FSIS
practice.
Finally, the Agency notes that in
February 2012, it contacted foreign
governments already approved for the
export of raw beef to the United States
and informed them that FSIS would
make a limited amount of reagents used
in the FSIS laboratory method for nonO157 STECs available to a foreign
government if that government wanted
to conduct a comparative analysis of its
method and methods used with test kits
assessed by FSIS. Although these
comparative analyses are not a
necessary precondition for FSIS to begin
verification testing of raw beef
manufacturing trimmings on June 4,
2012, FSIS believes that the results of
such comparative analyses could be
useful.

families. NIFA is seeking stakeholder

the professional development and
technical support program for fiscal year
2013. The focus of the webinar will be
to address the following questions:
1. What should change about CYFAR, if
anything?
2. What specific audiences should CYFAR
target within at-risk populations?
3. Are there audiences for which CYFAR
could have greater impact?

this, if so, please explain how?
6. How should the role of the CYFAR
liaison be changed, if at all?
7. Have the capacity building workshops
been effective, please explain?
8. Should we have a CYFAR liaison who
is responsible specifically for capacity
building, please explain?
9. CYFAR Conference, how effective has
the CYFAR Conference been for your
professional development in working with atrisk populations?
10. What percentage of the CYFAR funds
should go to building the capacity of the
system to serve at-risk audiences vs. building
the capacity of the grantees?
Stakeholders’ comments provided on
the questions above will provide
guidance to NIFA in restructuring the
program and assisting NIFA leadership
in more fully addressing stakeholder
needs.
Implementation Plans
NIFA plans to consider stakeholder

Background and Purpose
The mission of the CYFAR Program is
to marshal resources of Land-Grant and
Cooperative Extension Systems, so that,
in collaboration with other
organizations, they can develop and
deliver educational programs that equip
youth who are at risk for not meeting
basic human needs with the skills they
need to lead positive, productive, and
contributing lives. Through an annual
congressional appropriation for the
CYFAR Program, NIFA allocates
funding to land-grant university
Extension services for community-based
programs for at-risk children and their
