Seafood Processing and Inspection
The Public Comment period for this regulation is closed.
Currently, 18 AAC 34.010 (19) Seafood Processing and Inspection references the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 2017 National Shellfish Sanitation Program (NSSP) Guide for the Control of Molluscan Shellfish (guide), which all commercial shellfish-producing states are required to follow in order to place molluscan shellfish into interstate commerce. FDA has adopted a 2019 version of the NSSP guide, leaving the current rules out of date. This proposed rule will update the reference to the current standard.
There is no public comment period to make this change as this document is adopted by reference as amended from time to time.
