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.
