PART 331_SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR DESIGNATED STATES AND TERRITORIES; AND 
 
Sec. 331.4  Control and disposal of non-federally-inspected products 
in States designated under paragraph 301(c) of the Act.

    Upon the effective date of designation of a State under paragraph 
301(c) of the Act, no products can be prepared within the State unless 
they are prepared under inspection pursuant to the regulations in this 
subchapter or are exempted from the requirement of inspection under 
Sec. 303.1 of this subchapter, and no unexempted products which were 
prepared without any inspection can lawfully be distributed within the 
State. For a period of 90 days from the effective date of such 
designation, products which were prepared and inspected and passed under 
the supervision of a responsible State or local inspection agency can be 
distributed solely within the State, provided they are not adulterated 
or misbranded, except that the official inspection legend is not 
required. Within the 90-day period, products that have been inspected by 
the State or local inspection agency may be further prepared and 
otherwise handled in official establishments required to have inspection 
under Sec. 302.1(a)(2) of this subchapter or at establishments exempted 
from the requirements of such inspection under Sec. 303.1 of this 
subchapter, and may be distributed as provided in this section but 
otherwise shall be handled in accordance with Sec. 305.4 of this 
subchapter. Such products shall not bear any [Federal] official 
inspection legends. After said 90-day period, only federally inspected 
and passed products may be distributed within the designated State, 
except as provided in Sec. 303.1 of this subchapter.
