Addition of Chile to the List of Countries Eligible To Export Meat and Meat Products to the United States
Document Number: 05-22980
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-11-21
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is adding Chile to the list of countries eligible to export meat and meat products to the United States. FSIS conducted a thorough review of Chile's meat slaughter and processing inspection system, including an on-site review of its meat inspection system in operation. FSIS concluded that Chile's meat inspection laws, regulations, and other written materials demonstrate that they establish requirements that are equivalent to the relevant requirements of the Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA) and its implementing regulations, and that Chile's implementation of meat inspection standards and procedures is equivalent to that of the United States. Meat and meat products slaughtered and processed in certified Chilean establishments may be exported to the United States. All such products will be subject to re-inspection by FSIS inspectors at U.S. ports-of-entry as required by law.
Idaho Panhandle National Forest, Idaho-Supplemental Hidden Cedar EIS Project
Document Number: 05-22968
Type: Notice
Date: 2005-11-21
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Forest Service
The USDA Forest Service will prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Hidden Cedar Project. The Notice of Availability of the Draft EIS for the Hidden Cedar project was published Federal Register (66 FR 29799) on June 1, 2001 and the notice of the Final EIS (67 FR 47538-47539) was published on July 19, 2002. The Record of Decision on this project was administratively appealed to the Regional Forester per 36 CFR part 215. The Regional Forester affirmed my decision on September 27, 2002. However, due to information that has been identified since the availability of the final EIS and ROD I have determined a need for a supplement. On May 18, 2005, I withdrew the Record of Decision for the Hidden Cedar project. The purpose for the withdrawal was to further address analysis issues raised through the recent opinion issued through the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Lands Council v. Powell, 395 F.3d 1015-1046 (9th Cir. 2005).
Marketing and Sale of Fluid Milk in Schools
Document Number: 05-22952
Type: Rule
Date: 2005-11-21
Agency: Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service
This interim rule implements legislative provisions to prohibit direct or indirect restrictions on the sale or marketing of fluid milk on school premises or at school-sponsored events, at any time or in any place, in schools participating in the National School Lunch Program. This rule is intended to ensure that there are no policies or procedures in place that have the effect of restricting the sale or marketing of fluid milk. In addition, we are making a nonsubstantive change by converting a section heading from a question to a statement. This is intended to conform the heading to the same style as all other section headings in the part.
