| 95-31393 | FSIS Agenda for Change: Regulatory Review | Proposed Rule | The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has begun a comprehensive review of its regulatory procedures and requirements to determine which are still needed and which ought to be modified, streamlined, or eliminated. This review is an integral part of the FSIS initiative to improve the safety of meat and poultry products by modernizing the Agency's system of food safety regulation. It also moves beyond the page-by-page review of FSIS regulations carried out earlier this year under the President's Reinvention of Government Initiative. A thorough review of FSIS's regulations is needed to prepare for implementation of the Agency's proposed Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) regulations and a new food safety strategy that will reduce reliance on command-and-control regulations and increase reliance on science-based preventive measures and performance standards to improve food safety. This review and any changes in FSIS regulations that are necessary to make them compatible with HACCP will be completed prior to implementation of HACCP. FSIS invites comment from the public and all interested parties on the Agency's preliminary review of its regulations and specific suggestions on which regulations need to be eliminated or changed to be compatible with HACCP, and how they should be changed, or to achieve Reinvention of Government goals of having fewer, clearer, and more user-friendly regulations. Some of the rulemakings needed to streamline existing requirements and carry out the FSIS food safety strategy are being initiated or effectuated in documents that appear elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register: A proposed rule that would eliminate the FSIS prior approval system for substances added to meat and poultry products; a proposed rule that would facilitate marketing of nutritionally improved alternatives to standardized meat and poultry food products; and a final rule streamlining the prior approval system for meat and poultry labels. As FSIS progresses in its comprehensive regulatory review, FSIS will publish further proposals to eliminate unnecessary regulations and modify remaining regulations, replacing, to the extent possible, command-and-control regulations with performance standards, clarifying the role of inspectors in enforcing those standards, and reorganizing and simplifying the regulations to make them easier to understand and use. | 1995-12-29 | 1995 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1995/12/29/95-31393/fsis-agenda-for-change-regulatory-review | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1995-12-29/pdf/95-31393.pdf | Agriculture Department; Food Safety and Inspection Service | 12,201 | The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has begun a comprehensive review of its regulatory procedures and requirements to determine which are still needed and which ought to be modified, streamlined, or eliminated.
