Quality Systems Verification Programs

AGENCY: Agricultural Marketing Service, USDA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is proposing to establish a separate user-fee schedule for the Quality Systems Verification Programs (QSVP) and expand the scope of the QSVP to include all agricultural products and services within the responsibility of the Livestock and Seed (LS) Program. A new Part 62 would be established for QSVP services. QVSP are a collection of voluntary, audit-based, user-fee programs authorized under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. QSVP facilitate the global marketing and trade of agricultural products; provide consumers the opportunity to distinguish specific characteristics involved in the production and processing of agricultural products; and ensure that product consistently meets program requirements.

DATES: Written comments must be received by May 9, 2005. Comments regarding the information collection requirements that would result from this proposal must be received by June 6, 2005.
