Data Sources:  Data for the "Egg Products" report are obtained from Grading     
               Volume Reports (Form PY-240) completed by inspectors of the Egg  
Products Inspection Division, Food Safety and Inspection  Service (FSIS), USDA. 
FSIS is responsible for administering a mandatory inspection program for egg    
products under the authority of the Egg Products Inspection Act of 1970.  The   
Act and its associated Regulations require that all commercial egg breaking and 
processing plants operate under continuous USDA supervision.  Reports are       
currently received from approximately 80 plants.  Plant management provides     
monthly volume data to the resident USDA inspector at the applicable plant.     
                                                                                
                                                                                
Procedures and Reliability:  FSIS reviews plant data for accuracy and           
                             completeness and provides NASS a data file.  NASS  
reviews the data for unusual values.  The egg products estimates are based on a 
census of all commercial egg breaking and processing plants, therefore, there   
are no statistical estimation and sampling errors.                              
                                                                                
Liquid eggs transported from one official plant to another for reprocessing     
must be reinspected by the USDA inspector at the receiving plant.  Since the    
volume is reported for each inspection performed, the total liquid eggs         
inspected may exceed the actual total of liquid eggs produced.                  
                                                                                
Data in the "Inspected Product:" table are finished products available for      
distribution in commerce.  The finished egg products (packaged for              
distribution) may have been processed in a subsequent reporting period          
following the period in which the eggs were reported as broken.  Therefore, the 
data may not be comparable in any given month.
