SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
USDA is charged with the
administration and the enforcement of
the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA),
the Poultry Products Inspection Act
(PPIA), and the Egg Products Inspection
Act (EPIA). The Secretary of DHHS is
charged with the administration and
enforcement of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). These Acts
help protect consumers by ensuring that
food products are wholesome, not
adulterated, and properly marked,
labeled, and packaged.
In order to assist the Secretaries in
carrying out their responsibilities under
the FMIA, PPIA, EPIA, and FFDCA, the
NACMCF is being renewed. The
Committee will continue to be charged
with providing recommendations to the
Secretaries on the development of
microbiological criteria by which the
safety and wholesomeness of food can
be assessed, including criteria for
microorganisms that indicate whether
foods have been adequately and
appropriately processed.
Renewal of this Committee and its
charter is necessary and in the public
interest because of the need for external
expert advice on the range of scientific
and technical issues that must be
addressed by the FSIS and DHHS in
meeting their statutory responsibilities.
To address the complexity of the issues,
the Committee is expected to meet one
or more times annually.
Members will be appointed by the
Secretary of USDA after consultation
with the Secretary of the DHHS.
Because of the complexity of matters
addressed by this Committee, the
Secretary may consult with other
Federal Agencies, such as the
Department of Commerce’s National
Marine Fisheries Service, the
Department of Defense’s Veterinary
Service Activity, and the DHHS’ Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, for
advice on membership appointments.
Background materials are available on
the Internet at the address noted above
or by contacting the person listed above.
