FLD Policy Memoranda; Semi-Annual

Listing

AGENCY: Food Safety and Inspection

Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This document lists and

makes available to the public

memoranda which were issued by the

Food Labeling Division (FLD),

Regulatory Programs, Food Safety and

Inspection Service (FSIS). These

memoranda contain significant new

applications or interpretations of the

Federal Meat Inspection Act, the Poultry

Products Inspection Act, the regulations

promulgated thereunder, or

departmental policy concerning

labeling.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Cheryl Wade, Director, Food Labeling

Division, Regulatory Programs, Food

Safety and Inspection Service, U.S.

Department of Agriculture, Washington,

DC 20250, (202) 254–2590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to section 7 of the Federal Meat

Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 607 et seq.)

and section 8 of the Poultry Products

Inspection Act (21 U.S.C. 457 et seq.),

and the regulations promulgated

thereunder (9 CFR 301.1 et seq. and 9

CFR 381.1 et seq.), meat and poultry

products which do not bear approved

labels or other labeling may not be

distributed in commerce for use as

human food. Accordingly, FSIS

conducts a prior approval program for

labels or other labeling (specified in 9

CFR 317.4, 317.5, 381.132 and 381.134)

to be used on or in conjunction with

federally inspected meat and poultry

products.

FSIS’s prior labeling approval

program is conducted by labeling

review experts within FLD. A variety of

factors, such as continuing

technological innovations in food

processing and expanded public

concern regarding the presence of

various substances in foods, has

generated a series of increasingly

complex issues which FLD must resolve

as part of the prior labeling approval

process. In interpreting the Acts and

regulations to resolve these issues, FLD

may modify its policies on labeling or

develop new ones.

Significant or novel interpretations or

determinations made by FLD are issued

as policy memoranda. This notice lists

three FLD policy memoranda which

were issued during the period of April

1, 1994, through October 1, l994.

Persons interested in obtaining copies

of the FLD policy memoranda or in

being included on a list for automatic

distribution of future FLD policy

memoranda may write to: Printing and

Distribution Section, Paperwork

Services Division, Food Safety and

Inspection Service, U.S. Department of

Forest Service

Ski Fee System Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice; request for nominations.

SUMMARY: The Forest Service seeks

nominations for the Ski Fee System

Advisory Committee established by the

Secretary of Agriculture. The purpose of

the committee is to advise the Secretary

on development of a new ski area

permit fee system to be administered by

the Forest Service on National Forest

System lands.

DATES: Nominations must be received in

writing by March 27, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Send nominations to the

Director, Recreations, Heritage, and

Wilderness Resources Staff (4 CEN

AUD; 2300), Forest Service, USDA, P.O.

Box 96090, Washington, DC 20090–6090

or FAX to (202) 205–1145.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Questions about this committee and

nominations should be addressed to

Lyle Laverty, Director, Recreation,

Heritage, and Wilderness Resources

Staff, Forest Service, (202) 205–1706.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Forest

Service is responsible for developing

and administering a permit fee system

based on fair market value for the use

of National Forest System lands by ski

areas. The current graduated rate fee

system, in effect since 1972, has been

the subject of several appeals and

litigation. Further, studies by the

General Accounting Office and the

Office of Inspector General have

concluded this system does not ensure

the agency receives a fee from ski areas

under special use permits that

represents fair market value.

The Secretary of Agriculture has

established the Ski Fee System Advisory

Committee (the Committee) to provide

advice from a diversity of interests on:

The development of a new ski area

permit fee system based on fair market

value; the methodologies selected and

employed by the Forest Service in

developing this new system;

implementation options the agency

might consider; and other matters

relating to the new ski area permit fee

system as deemed neccesary by the

Secretary (60 FR 9321, February 17,

1995).

The Secretary has directed the Forest

Service to request and coordinate

nominations for this committee. The

Secretary will appoint the members of

the Committee. Nominations should be

sent to the address listed earlier in this

notice. All appointments to the

Committee will follow equal

opportunity practices consistent with

USDA politics. To ensure that the

recommendations of the Committee

have taken into account the needs of the

diverse groups served by the

Department and the Forest Service,

membership will include, to the extent

practicable, individuals with

demonstrated ability to represent

minorities, women, and persons with

disabilities. To achieve a balance of

views, members will represent the ski

industry, ski area users, nationally or

regionally recognized environmental or

resource conservation groups, and

employees of State and Federal agencies

with jurisdiction over matters related to

skiing, public land management,

recreational access to public lands, fish

and wildlife conservation, or

environmental protection. Also,

individuals selected for membership

will have expertise through their

education or practical experience in ski

area permit administration, recreation

business management, economic

sciences, natural management, or

similar disciplines.
