OMB Control Number: 0551–0026.
Summary of Collection: The basic
authority for the Foreign Market
Development Cooperator Program
(FMD) is contained in Title VII of the
Agricultural Trade Act of 1978, 7 U.S.C.
5721, et seq. Program regulations appear
at 7 CFR part 1484. Title VII directs the
Secretary of Agriculture to ‘‘establish

the broadest possible range of
beneficiaries; the market development
efforts will lead to increases in
consumption and imports of U.S.

Retail Exemptions Adjusted Dollar
Limitations
Food Safety and Inspection
Service, USDA.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) is announcing
the dollar limitations on the amount of
meat and meat food products and
poultry and poultry products that a
retail store can sell to hotels,
restaurants, and similar institutions
without disqualifying itself for
exemption from Federal inspection
requirements.

Applicable: July 24, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Background
The Federal Meat Inspection Act (21
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) and the Poultry
Products Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 451
et seq.) provide a comprehensive
statutory framework to ensure that meat
and meat food products and poultry and
poultry products prepared for commerce
are wholesome, not adulterated, and
properly labeled and packaged.
Statutory provisions requiring
inspection of the processing of meat and
meat food products and poultry and
poultry products do not apply to
operations of types traditionally and
usually conducted at retail stores and
restaurants in regard to products offered
for sale to consumers in normal retail
quantities (21 U.S.C. 661(c)(2) and
454(c)(2)). FSIS’s regulations (9 CFR
303.1(d) and 381.10(d)) elaborate on the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:50 Jun 21, 2019
Jkt 247001
conditions under which requirements
for inspection do not apply to retail
operations involving the preparation of
meat and meat food products and the
processing of poultry and poultry
products.
Sales to Hotels, Restaurants, and
Similar Institutions
Under the aforementioned
regulations, sales to hotels, restaurants,
and similar institutions (other than
household consumers) disqualify a
retail store from exemption if the retail
product sales exceed either of two
maximum limits: 25 percent of the
dollar value of the total retail product
sales of the amenable product or the
calendar year retail dollar limitation set
by the FSIS Administrator. The retail
dollar limitation is adjusted
automatically during the first quarter of
the year if the Consumer Price Index
(CPI), published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, shows an increase or decrease
of more than $500 in the price of the
same volume of product for the previous
year. FSIS publishes a notice of the
adjusted retail dollar limitations in the
Federal Register. (See 9 CFR
303.1(d)(2)(iii)(b) and
381.10(d)(2)(iii)(b).)
The CPI for 2018 reveals an annual
average price increase for meat and meat
food products at 0.41 percent and an
annual average price increase for
poultry and poultry products at 0.32
percent. When rounded to the nearest
dollar, the retail dollar limitation for
meat and meat food products increased
by $310 and the retail dollar limitation
for poultry and poultry products
increased by $183. In accordance with
9 CFR 303.1(d)(2)(iii)(b) and
381.10(d)(2)(iii)(b), because the retail
dollar limitations for meat and meat
food products and poultry and poultry
products did not increase or decrease by
more than $500, FSIS is making no
adjustment in the retail dollar
limitations on sales to hotels,
restaurants, and similar institutions.
The retail dollar limitation for meat and
meat food products remains unchanged
at $75,700 and the retail dollar
limitation for poultry and poultry
products remains unchanged at $56,600
for calendar year 2019. FSIS is currently
considering the retail dollar limitations
for Siluriformes fish and fish products.
FSIS intends to include Siluriformes
fish and fish products in its calculations
for retail dollar limitations for meat
products in future Federal Register
notices that announce retail dollar
limitations.
