FSIS announced today that it will extend the comment period 30 days for a proposed rule to modernize the way young chickens and turkeys
are inspected. The original deadline to submit comments was April 26; the new deadline to receive comments is 30 days after the notice
announcing the extension publishes in the Federal Register. The request to extend the comment period was made by constituents and the
Agency agreed.
The notice clarifies answers to questions from several groups; the posting of those answers ensures that the groups and the public
have access to the same information. The notice also specifies that FSIS is seeking information and data on potential impacts of line
speed on worker safety.
The notice announcing the extension will be posted on the FSIS website at
www.fsis.usda.gov/regulations_&_policies/
Proposed_Rules/index.asp
and will publish in the Federal Register. Comments may be submitted
through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov, or by mail to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), FSIS,
