 PART 331_SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR DESIGNATED STATES AND TERRITORIES;

 

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.
