Eligibility of Chile To Export Poultry and Poultry Products to the United States: Proposed Rule Comment Period Extension and Notice of New Information
The Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) is providing
additional information about the basis
on which it has tentatively concluded
that Chile’s inspection system for
poultry and poultry products is
equivalent to that of the United States.
FSIS published a proposed rule (FSIS–2006–0030) in the Federal Register of February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8293–8296), that would add Chile to the list of countries eligible to export poultry and poultry products to the United States. A comment on the proposal noted a deficiency that FSIS found in its onsite audit of Chile’s inspection system and questioned how, given that deficiency, FSIS could find Chile’s system equivalent. FSIS is addressing this concern in this supplement to the proposed rule. Given that FSIS is providing additional information to explain the basis for its tentative finding of equivalency, FSIS is re-opening the comment period on the proposed rule to May 25, 2007.
