WASHINGTON, August 12, 2005 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS) today announced it is seeking public comments on the financial impact of the Hazard Analysis Critical
Control Point (HACCP) regulations on small and very small plants.
FSIS is conducting a review of the regulations established by the Pathogen Reduction/HACCP final rule under Section
610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. These provisions require all Federal agencies review existing regulations
that have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities to determine whether the impact
can be minimized.
Small plants are defined as having between 10 and 499 employees or more than $2.5 million in annual sales. Very small
plants have fewer than 10 employees or less than $2.5 million in annual sales.
All comments on this notice must be received on or before October 11, 2005. The comments will be posted at

2005_Proposed_Rules_Index/.
For further information, contact Dr. Quita Bowman Blackwell, Director, Directives and Economic Analysis Staff, FSIS, U.S.
Department of Agriculture at (202) 720-5627. |
