ACTION:
Notice.
The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA or we) received
applications for temporary permits from
Bumble Bee Foods, LLC; Chicken of the
Sea International; and StarKist Seafood
Company (the applicants). We are
announcing that we have issued
temporary permits to the applicants to
market test products (designated as
‘‘canned tuna’’ products) that deviate
from the U.S. standard of identity for
canned tuna. The purpose of the
temporary permits is to market test the
product throughout the United States
and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
The permits will allow the applicants to
measure consumer acceptance of the
products and assess the commercial
feasibility of the products.
DATES: These permits are effective for 15
months, beginning on the date each
applicant introduces or causes the
introduction of the test products into
interstate commerce, but not later than
September 18, 2014.

SUMMARY:
and Drug Administration, 5100 Paint
Branch Pkwy., College Park, MD 20740,
240–402–2371.
We have
issued a temporary permit to each of the
following applicants: Bumble Bee
Foods, LLC; Chicken of the Sea
International; and StarKist Seafood
Company. We are issuing these
temporary permits in accordance with
21 CFR 130.17, which addresses
temporary permits for interstate
shipment of experimental packs of food
varying from the requirements of
standards of identity issued under
section 401 of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 341).
These permits cover limited interstate
marketing tests of products identified as
‘‘canned tuna.’’ These test products
deviate from the U.S. standard of
identity for canned tuna (21 CFR
161.190) in that they are labeled without
the statement ‘‘Below Standard in Fill’’
as required in § 161.190(c)(4) and 21
CFR 130.14(b). The test products meet
all the requirements of the standard
with the exception of this deviation.
The purpose of these temporary
permits is to market test the product
throughout the United States and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. These
permits will allow the applicants to
measure customer acceptance of the
products and assess commercial
feasibility of the products.
Table 1 lists the amount of product for
distribution and the manufacturers of
the products for each of the applicants.
The retail cans for the products are of
various sizes.
