INSPECTION OF POULTRY AND
POULTRY PRODUCTS
Notice of Proposed Rule Making
Notice is hereby given in accordance with the administrative procedure pro visions in 5 U.S.C. 553, that pursuant to sections 14 and 17 of the Poultry Prod ucts Inspection Act, as amended by the Wholesome Poultry Products Act (21 U.3.C. 451 et seq.), the Consumer and Marketing Service is considering amend ing 81.301(b) of the regulations in 7 CFR Part 81 by adding Hong Kong to the list of countries specified therein.
Statement of considerations. The Fed eral Poultry Products Inspection Act prohibits the importation of slaughtered poultry and poultry products into the United States unless they comply with the rules and regulations made by the Secretary of Agriculture to assure that Imported poultry or poultry products comply with the standards provided for in the Act.

Further, on-site review of the export poultry inspection program of Hong Kong indicates that it is the equivalent of that maintained in the United States, and that reliance can be placed upon certificates issued by the Hong Kong officials for export of slaugh tered poultry and poultry products to the United States,
Any person who wishes to submit written data, views, or comments per taining to the proposed amendment may do so by filing them in duplicate with the Hearing Clerk, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, DC 20250,
