Products From Foreign Countries; Eligibility for Import Into the 
United States

AGENCY: Food Safety and Inspection Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice; affirmation of effective date.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On July 28, 1995, the Food Safety and Inspection Service 
(FSIS) published a direct final rule, ``Products from Foreign 
Countries; Eligibility for Import into the United States.'' This direct 
final rule notified the public of FSIS' intention to amend those 
paragraphs of the imported products sections of the Federal meat and 
poultry products inspection regulations that contain the phrase ``at 
least equal to'' by replacing that phrase with the words ``equivalent 
to.'' This action amends language in the Federal meat and poultry 
products inspection regulations to correctly reflect the language used 
in the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, which was enacted to comply with 
the General Agreement on Tariffs and 

[[Page 54297]]
Trade, 1994 (GATT). No adverse comments were received in response to 
the direct final rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on September 26, 1995.

Regulations Development, Policy, Evaluation and Planning Staff, Food 
Safety and Inspection Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 
Washington, DC 20250-3700; [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice affirms the effective date of 
the direct final rule, ``Products from Foreign Countries; Eligibility 
for Import into the United States,'' that was published on July 28, 
1995, at 60 FR 38667. This direct final rule notified the public of 
FSIS' intention to amend those paragraphs of the imported products 
sections of the Federal meat and poultry products inspection 
regulations that contain the phrase ``at least equal to'' by replacing 
that phrase with the words ``equivalent to.'' We did not receive any 
written adverse comments or written notice of intent to submit adverse 
comments in response to this rule. Therefore, the effective date of the 
rule is September 26, 1995.
