PART 1_GENERAL ENFORCEMENT REGULATIONS--Table of Contents
 
    Subpart J_Establishment, Maintenance, and Availability of Records
 
Sec.  1.330  Can existing records satisfy the requirements of this subpart?

    The regulations in this subpart do not require duplication of 
existing records if those records contain all of the information 
required by this subpart. If a covered person keeps records of all of 
the information as required by this subpart to comply with other 
Federal, State, or local regulations, or for any other reason, then 
those records may be used to meet these requirements. Moreover, persons 
do not have to keep all of the information required by this rule in one 
set of records. If they have records containing some of the required 
information, they may keep those existing records and keep, either 
separately or in a combined form, any new information required by this 
rule. There is no obligation to create an entirely new record or 
compilation of records containing both existing and new information, 
even if the records containing some of the required information were not 
created at the time the food was received or released.
