Sec. 350.3  Types and availability of service.

    Upon application in accordance with Sec. 350.5 the following types 
of service may be furnished under the regulations in this part:
    (a) Identification service. (1) Meat or other product that is 
federally inspected and passed at an official establishment, or upon 
importation, under the meat inspection laws, is officially marked to 
identify it as federally inspected and passed. In order to facilitate 
the division of such meat or other product into smaller portions or its 
combination into larger units and still maintain its identity as product 
which has been federally inspected and passed and so marked, inspectors 
may supervise the handling of the product and mark such portions or 
units with the marks of Federal inspection when they determine that the 
identity has been maintained.
    (2) At the time service is furnished product must be sound, 
wholesome and fit for human food. The service will be available only on 
premises other than those of an official establishment. The sanitation 
of the plant or area where service is furnished must comply with 
applicable provisions of part 416, Sec. Sec. 416.1 through 416.6 of 
this chapter.
    (3) The mark of inspection shall be applied only under the immediate 
supervision of an inspector.
    (4) The service will be available for products moved in tank cars 
and tank trucks from an official establishment or from a location 
operating under this service only if such tank cars or tank trucks bear 
a label before leaving such official establishment or such other 
location, in accordance with 9 CFR Sec. Sec. 316.14 and 317.2.
    (b) Certification service. At the request of a purchaser, supplier, 
exporter, or others, inspectors may make certification regarding 
livestock products for human food purposes (including casings), to be 
exported, as meeting conditions or standards that are not imposed or are 
in addition to those imposed by the regulations in parts 301 through 331 
of this chapter and the laws under which such regulations were issued.
    (c) Food inspection service. An inspection and certification service 
for wholesomeness relating to the manufacture of a food article may be 
furnished upon application. All applicable provisions of this chapter 
shall apply to the preparation, labeling and certification of the food 
article prepared under this food inspection service.
    (d) [Reserved]
