SUMMARY: On June 12, 1995, the

published a notice in the Federal

Register (60 FR 30830) announcing a

one-year test-market period for USDA

grade identified raw ready-to-cook

boneless-skinless poultry products

without added ingredients, based on

tentative grade standards. AMS is

extending the test-market period beyond

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

12, 1995, the Agricultural Marketing

Service (AMS) published a notice in the

Federal Register (60 FR 30830)

announcing a one-year test-market

period for USDA grade identified raw

ready-to-cook boneless-skinless poultry

products without added ingredients,

based on tentative grade standards. The

test-market period is scheduled to end

June 12, 1996, after which AMS will

evaluate the test results. If AMS decides

to amend the current poultry grade

standards, a proposal with comment

period will be published in the Federal

Register. To allow processors to

continue grade identifying these

products while the Agency evaluates

test results, AMS has determined that it

is appropriate to extend the test-market

period until a final determination is

made about the tentative grade

standards.
